One Day More!


Valjean:

Another day, another destiny,
This neverending road to Calvary.
These men who seem to know my crime will surely come a second time.
One day more.
Marius:
I did not live until today.
How can I live when we are parted?
Valjean:
One day more.
Marius and Cosette:
Tomorrow you'll be worlds away.
And yet with you my world has started.
Eponine:
One more day all on my own.
Marius and Cosette:
Will we ever meet again?
Eponine:
One more day with him not caring.
Marius and Cosette:
I was born to be with you.
Eponine:
What a life I might have known.
Marius and Cosette:
And I swear I will be true.
Eponine:
But he never saw me there.
Enjolras:
One more day before the storm!
Marius:
Do I follow where she goes?
Enjolras:
At the barricades of freedom.
Marius:
Shall I join my brothers there?
Enjolras:
When our ranks begin to form,
Marius:
Do I stay, and do I dare?
Enjolras:
Will you take your place with me?
Chorus:
The time is now.
The day is here.
Valjean:
One day more!
Javert:
One more day to revolution
We will nip it in the bud.
I will join these little schoolboys,
They will wet themselves with blood.
Valjean:
One day more!
Thernadiers:
Watch 'em run amuck
Catch 'em as they fall.
Never know your luck when there's a free-for-all.
Here a little dip
There a little touch.
Most of them are gonners so they won't miss much!
Rebel Students:
One day to a new beginning
Raise the flag of freedom high.
Every man will be a king.
Every man will be a king.
There's a new world for the winning.
There's a new world to be won.
Do you hear the people sing?
Marius:
My place is here
I fight with you.
Valjean:
One day more!
Marius and Cosette:
I did not live until today
Eponine:
One more day all on my own.
Javert:
I will learn their little secrets,
I will know the things they know.
Valjean:
One day more!
Thenardiers:
Watch 'em run amuck.
Catch 'em as they fall,
Never know your luck when there's a free-for-all.
Javert:
I will join these little schoolboys
Valjean:
Tomorrow we'll be far away
Tomorrow is the judgment day.
All:
Tomorrow we'll discover
What our God in heaven has in store.
One more dawn.
One more day.
One day more!

and those i miss the most




"Can miles truly separate you from friends.... If you want to be with people you love,
aren't you already there?" ~Richard Bach

not knowing what you have till it's gone

by the way, in case...

i really wanted to say how much i miss my old boss.
he was such a brilliant, and too-often-than-not insightful manager who really knew how to navigate the systems and mazes within the company. someone who had a truly good sense of humour ("what am i doing?... im 'raising' the bar") and a clarity that pierced souls.

we miss you boss.

p.s. thanks for dropping by. ;)

Verdict on the Fall Season 06/07: BRILLIANTO!

The jury is back, and here is my personal verdict, and the network's decisions:

1) STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP (new show!)
- My verdict: Best new concept on the block! MUST WATCH!
- getting better and better. concept still has some oomph, especially now that they're exploring settings outside the studio. like Pahmrump, Nevada. too funny sometimes. still watching until the 'west wing' creator gets 'out of the witness protection program' and fights non-quality TV with classic sorkinese.
- NBC Decision: FULL SEASON 1! Day of Jubilee!



2) BROTHERS & SISTERS (new show!)
- My verdict: Best feely-character development show! MUST WATCH!
- i love it! Calista Flockhart is as good, even better 'Ally McBeal' days. the first family relationship TV show which makes me laugh and sympathize with, without rolling my eyes and saying 'preacy cliche' -- because that's exactly what this show is NOT. I mean cmon -- a family of seven: with 3 GOPs, 4 dems, a gay bro, a senile bro, a cheating dead husband, a living matriarch, a celebrity sis, a junkie war veteran bro, and 15 mil $ embezzled. Imagine you're part of that family; who needs dysfunctional friends? Arrested Devt + 7th heaven!
- ABC Decision: FULL SEASON 1! Day of Jubilee!



3) HEROES! (new show)
- My verdict: Best sci-fi show! MUST WATCH!
- hey, i've got to have my sci-fi / fantasy fix on TV as well right? This show is as good as Lost was when Lost premiered, only that it answered questions faster, and had a cliffhanger for almost each episode. Tim Kring, KUDOS -- you are the NEW JJ Abrams!
- NBC Decision: FULL SEASON 1! Biggest Hit! Day of Jubilee!



4) LOST (returning for Season 3)
- My verdict: Best... long running mystery. WILL STICK FOR THE ANSWERS!
- I'm still watching because the story isn't over. And there are still around 381 mysteries to solve. Though Ben and Locke still impress me with how complex they are. The rest, not so much.
- ABC Decision: FULL SEASON 3! I'm still here!



5) HOUSE! (returning for season 3)
- My verdict: Best show that connects with me. just does. MUST WATCH #1!
- my favorite doctor is back! you have to love the genius, sarcasm, and negative energy Hugh Laurie delivers. If he's your doctor, you can at least be sure of getting healthier. this show appeals to my dark-brooding-introvert-sneering self.
- FOX Decision: FULL SEASON 3! I'm still confined! paging Dr.House!

Back, hopefully for a long time :)


Hey everyone!

i'm back, after a long hiatus.
its been a month since i last posted... but really i don't post often, so what's new.

there have been a couple of times in the past week when i wanted to post something - logging on to blogspot, opening the 'create new post' link. but i never really carried through. either was too tired, too lazy, or too... well, too empty.

but well, that water shed broke now, and i'm back. :)

so all, i say... "the opposite of C'est la vie!"
