I'm out of Singapore and now in Philippines! Good to be back here. It's good that I'm not here for just a vacation but also research. :D<br /><br />The four-hour plane trip is quite scary though. hahaha A lot of turbulence. I just learned that Philippines is having a bad weather. A lot of friendly people indeed. I hope when I start writing my thesis, people will be helpful. I'll do my best!<br /><br />Ganbare~!<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=vladpremier&ditemid=892" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://vladpremier.dreamwidth.org/892.html daily life public 0 https://vladpremier.dreamwidth.org/559.html Mon, 10 Oct 2011 12:05:39 GMT https://vladpremier.dreamwidth.org/559.html For the longest time, I've been in love with Japanese culture and such, especially Japanese music. Recently i got hooked up with one of the traditional theaters of Japan: Taishu engeki. it is somewhat similar to kabuki, however, it is more casual and more integrated to the newer generation. I love their short stories and such. my favorite part is the onnagata (female impersonators). A sample of the Taishu Engeki performance is this:<br /><br /><center><iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/X-0trny4c3o" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></center><br /><br />It's such a bittersweet story.<br /><br />By the way, here are the characters from the said play (sennen no inori):<br /><br /><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Xd9jHyllhMA/Tfik8Am_PGI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/9Vh8SQN5ofM/s1600/o0800060311198091465.jpg" /><br /><br />Can you believe it they are both males. hahaha<br />They are actually best friends and they really are convincing actors to play as lovers lol. ♥<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=vladpremier&ditemid=559" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://vladpremier.dreamwidth.org/559.html interest public 0 https://vladpremier.dreamwidth.org/420.html Mon, 10 Oct 2011 11:19:14 GMT https://vladpremier.dreamwidth.org/420.html New here~<br /><br />Soon I'll be posting things from my interest.
