The Asian Premiere of "The Normal Heart" Set to Open on July 3

Wazzup Pilipinas!
"More than just a gay-played play, one of the most important thing you'll learn from this (The Normal Heart) is how health issues are really political issues that in fact even in a group like gay organizations there's a lot of in-fighting. People can't seem to cooperate even in the face of death. But most importantly, what is shows is that love is resilient even in the face of something as permanent as death." - Bart Guingona

Indeed, the Larry Kramer play called The Normal Heart is a play with a lot of hope, with a lot of lessons to teach us, and hopefully the cast will be able to bring it out and make it relevant to the audience.

The play is a call to arms, chronicling writer/activist Ned Weeks’s personal crusade for justice amidst resistance, intolerance and ignorance on the part of government, family and friends. Ned is the openly gay founder of a prominent HIV advocacy group

It is very alarming that the number of cases of deaths from HIV and AIDS have been increasing exponentially throughout the years but is rarely talked about in society mainly because of shame and humiliation within the family of the deceased.

Save Money, Packed Lunch

Goods are becoming more and more expensive, yet your income is not increasing fast enough to cover the higher cost of living. It is important, then, to forgo unnecessary expenses and to try cheaper alternatives, like bringing packed lunch to work or school instead of dining out or having food delivered.

When you dine out, you often end up ordering more food than necessary either because of a persuasive attendant or because of impulse buying. When you bring your own food, you have more control over the portions you allot for yourself, thus you avoid wasting food and money.

You can plan your meals ahead and buy ingredients in bulk, which will save you money.

With packed lunches, you are also assured of the quality of your meals. Just make sure you store your food in containers that are non-toxic and can be sealed tightly to avoid spillage and to ensure the freshness of your meals.

Klio products can be trusted in this regard. A leading player in the plastic food keeper industry, Klio guarantees that its products are made of high-grade materials, and will not leach cancer-causing chemicals into your food. Klio containers are also microwave and freezer-safe, and are easily washable.
