In Morse Code, 88 means "love and kisses". In Mathematics, it represents dual infinity. There are 88 keys in a piano and 88 constellations in the sky. Happy 88th, Nikko! ♥ You are the star and music in my life. Infinity with you sounds awesome!
It was our 88th monthsary yesterday and Nikko took me to the Newport Performing Arts Theater at Resorts World Manila to catch the Manila production of The Sound of Music. The Sound of Music with Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer is one of my all-time favorite movies. I remember there was even one summer when I was watching the movie everyday. I loved the character of Liezl, the eldest daughter and I used to imagine being 16-going-on-17. Nikko was able to see the full movie only recently (around three weeks ago) and he fell in love with it, too.
This is what I wore:
It was an amazing show and the actors were really wonderful! Cris Villonco played the part of Fraulein Maria very well and she talked and sang exactly the way Julie Andrews did. Jon Joven, as Captain Von Trapp was equally great. The Von Trapp children were also very good and so were all the other supporting actors and the Manila Philharmonic Orchestra. Plus, the set design was magnificent. The production’s really comparable to some of New York’s Broadway shows.
The show will run until December 11, 2011. Tickets range from P1000 to P2000 and I assure you that it’s going to be worth it. Joanna Ampil and Audie Gemora also play the parts of Fraulein Maria and Captain Von Trapp respectively.
It was just pure magic. Thank you so much, Nikko for making me so happy. <3
