Hansel and Gretel Feat. Ysabella


According to Wikipedia,  Hansel and Gretel is a well-known fairy tale of German origin, recorded by the Brothers Grimm and published in 1812. Hansel and Gretel are a young brother and sister threatened by a cannibalistic witch living deep in the forest in a house constructed of cake and confectionery. The two children save their lives by outwitting her.

As we grew with the story, there were a lot of versions and surely each one has its own point and highlights. We even saw the most recent movie adaptation of this fairy tale - the Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters. In this spin on the fairy tale, Hansel & Gretel are now bounty hunters who track and kill witches all over the world. As the fabled Blood Moon approaches, the siblings encounter a new form of evil that might hold a secret to their past.

Another adaptation was this Ballet show I attended in Meralco Theater on May 18, 2013. It was the first time that I have attended a ballet show and it got me so interested in the story again. They called it - "reinvented Hansel and Gretel". Reinvented because they got Little Red Riding Hood in the Story.

I was able to capture some of the parts of the show, especially when my friend's daughter, Ysabella Panghulan - is part of.

This has melted my heart and gave me a realization that with all the things going on right now, we just always need to pause - and pray. Let me share with you one scripture that i have read today from Jon Orana of www.topbibleverses.com and helped me understand a lot of things. Psalm 17:5 Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not. Burt had worked in high-rise construction all his life. Everyday he would walk the girders high above the ground with apparent ease. In his lifetime he had seen a number of men plunge from the girders due to a mere moment of carelessness. As for himself, he knew he had been lucky. Each morning he began work only after saying a short prayer, asking the Lord to watch his movements through the day, keeping him safe from any mishap. Though most of us never do anything as dangerous or risky as high-rise construction, we do stand in d...
