The city of Memphis is home to things of all shapes and sizes. This diversity means that there are plenty of companies to go along with. These employers are always looking for people to hire for the jobs they’re offering. Who are these employers/companies you ask? You can look all around the city to find them, but the top three to look at are FedEx, AutoZone, and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Jobs and their demand can be big factors in determining where you live in the area. Memphis houses for sale can also affect where you stay. FedEx FedEx is one of the largest companies in the world for logistics. They’ve got over 200,000 employees and six million vehicles! The company is huge and continues to grow every day. Of course, more growth leads to a demand for employees that can keep up with FedEx’s expansion. Not only will you have a well-paying job with FedEx, you’ll also have the opportunity to make someone’s day better. Imagine this, you’re dropping off that Christmas

Binondo, A Tsinoy Musical, a spectacle but not epic
We had a chance to see the return on stage of Binondo,
Tsinoy Musical last July 11 at the Theatre of Solaire Resort Hotel and Casino.
This Marites Alava-Yong production is under the direction of known Film Maker
Joel Lamangan, with Choreography by Douglas Nieras and story by Ricky Lee.
It is a grand play set in the ’70s of a love story between
two nations fighting for freedom, set in the Chinese venue called Binondo, Lily
and Ah-Tiong romance spark going beyond culture, traditions, and distance.
It is impressive, from stage lighting design, costumes and of
course the music, it’s the foremost we love in this play, the beautiful lyrics
that explain the inner feelings of its performers conveyed thru music, and
those big grand production numbers, we feel like transported back to the TV
show RSVP that is choreographed by Nieras way back then.
But let's admit Binondo is tedious in many times, there are
scenes that are not necessarily needed to be sung, it was already explained by
the scene and it should end there, however, maybe they have a lot of songs that
need to be performed, our favorite is the Disco scene of Ah-Tiong and Lily, that’s
the part we can feel the chemistry of the two lead actors.
There is a scene that the mother of Lily just died and a
wedding proposal just came in right at that moment, we feel that part kinda insensitive
or the timing is not right since the female lead somehow needs to mourn probably
or at least the mother was buried first.
Being familiar with some Broadway hits like Miss Saigon, we
can help and notice that this play is a pattern to that, the love story and those
grand production numbers are all similar to it, we can hear some murmur from the
audiences that “oh it’s the morning of the dragon”, oh it's like the last night
of the world” scene.
Shiela Valderama and Arman Ferrer are very good in their
characters, I salute them for doing their best, but it was Armand who really
give it a shot in one step higher, his vocal prowess is a showcase here. And if
there’s one who shines here even for a bit part is Lorenz Martinez, you can see
how he gives justice to his ensemble performance that we wish he takes some a major role here.
It is enjoyable in terms of entertainment, the bed scene
with ala-ballet or jazz dance interpretation while Carlos is singing, is one the thing we love watching in Binondo, and again the music is all great.
Binondo, A Musical return on stage only for four shows in
The Theatre of Solaire last July 11, 12, 13 and 14.
Spoliarium, an opera with libretto by Soprano Fides Cuyugan-Asensio and with music by Ryan Cayabyab was the first production I saw pertaining to the life of Juan Luna.
