THE NEXT ACT

I am fascinated when I get to watch shows like X-factor and the Voice where the professionals get to guide the talent. The way the relationship goes well between the talent and the mentor is when the talent gives complete trust with the mentor and just accepts that the mentor has a better view of how the talent can emanate the stuff effectively and well. It’s just like a director who has the best view on what’s going on outside the stage. I remember there was this hip guy who was part of the cast in the stage play. During the rehearsal the director directed him to exaggerate his movement. But the guy being cool but a newbie thought that the movement is awkward and not cool. And so he did not follow the director’s direction when the rest of the cast exaggerated their movements during the performance. During the performance it turned out that the audience viewed that the cool guy was awkward on stage and the rest of the cast were outstanding. What is deemed awkward in real life is normal

You were born and you became the sunshine of our life.   You lift up lolo’s heart, lola’s and mine as well and put it in another level.   The first grandson.   My first nephew.   Our best friend.   You grew up in my arms when your dad was working overseas.   It is a pleasure that I become your second dad because you had been my joy.   You may never know how much you make a difference but you are the source of strength to many people who love you especially to lolo and lola. You grew up to become a fine young man, a good son and a good brother to your siblings and a good friend.   You made us proud in putting your gifts into good use. I am having tears knowing that you will never be physically around.   But I know that you are in a better place now telling us,” Hey, I am Okay.”   And we will be okay.   We will be okay. You are always be the source of our strength even more that you are now where you are.   Now we are much closer to God because of you who are looking after us. I lov
