on sunday while i was trying to eat this incredible chicken at levi's after the set strike for pintig's 'bells of balangiga,' i remembered my blog and realized that the play had become my whole life for almost three months. ahahaha.
and then also the songs won't leave my head:
let me feel you
let me through
let me fill your [ nights ]
warm [ embrace ] for you
[ at the time of my days ]
i will hold you dearly
till the end
...
from the land of the sleeping giants
[ all across from the sea ]
...
each one of you will feel my pain!
and my love
my love will take this knife for me.
domeng.
...
mercedes, we ask for mercy
senores, listen to my plea.
we have done nothing wrong,
[ ... ]
senors, loosen these chains on them.
perdidos, have you not heard our cry?
a far more cruel tyrant like you
deserve to die.
...
i should have known these were men.
[ ... ]
i couldn't!
not with the epidemic going on.
but had i dared.
ok, go.
...
i should have known
that these were men
[ just think about it ]
it made me shiver.
...
they're angry!
so are we, private.
we'll show them just how angry we are
[ ... ]
and bring the nightmare to them.
...
[ ... ] and fell into his plate of hash.
[ ... ] i called my captain, "captain! captain!"
but a goo goo insurrecto [ ... ]
[ ... ]
they were upon us!
they were upon us!
ahhhhhhhhhh!
...
now is this trechery, treachery
we ask you
how [ could this treachery, villany ]
...
so much for flattery, mockery
when will this end?
it has to stop
by blood it did
...
the country is officially a colony of the united states.
but we still remember that fateful day.
...
and your country will always be like that.
an ant, a moth [ ... ]
we scared you once!
we did it once before.
remember that!
[ you're not so powerful ]
...
the bells will ring for us from now on!
...
ring them again,
hear them again,
and we will know
what they truly mean
many years ago, they buried it under
teach your children, who have forgotten
bring the bells back to,
they're [ ... ]!
...
ring them again,
hear them again,
[ ... ]
bring the bells back to
they're [ ... ]!
i've seen the musical five times. hehehee.
mike, a musican who played guitar and congo drums among other things in the musical, said it for us: "i don't know what to do with all my time now, after the play."
but today a lovely email came from my activist friends:
