This book wouldn't be possible without the inspiration of the following people.

There's of course my "usual suspects" in which I dedicate my work always - GOD, above all, no need to explain why. There's my family - Carlos (now deceased), Aurora, Jericho Charlemagne, Siegfried Hans Ulrich. Upon this posting, I've got also my nephew Alexander Zion, Sophia Amanda Zoe and Skarlet Rose Sieltiel Frieda. 

There's of course Lola Ying and Lola Mameng (who are both deceased now), YAFCA PH (formerly YAFCA NSOLL Repertory), FYM and Thespian's Clique (which was still active during the original printing of this work)

There's also Prof. Carlos Aureus - thank you for being a great professor. My love for Shakespeare increased and your teaching of Critical Theory and supplementary notes on Immanuel Kant had helped me a lot in my other M. A. Theatre Arts courses. 

Ms. Gaye Layda, in the original printed version, this wasn't placed there. I don't know why but she should be there. Ms. Gaye was Senior HR Manager of Sykes Asia who supported a lot of the projects of Thespian's Clique, as well as the Scribbles with its literary portfolio. 

Cyril Tubianosa, my Kakashi-sensei, thank you for being very patient in correcting me when I go astray grammatically, emotionally, philosophically and sometimes psychologically. 

Cindy Merino whose blogs made me aware of what's happening around the country and the latest ins-and-outs of society, style, showbiz and the rest of the hullabaloo and inspired me to write and write. 

To Rev. Fr. Ramon B. Atanacio, OFM. Cap, who had always encouraged YAFCA despite the secular-like leanings of the club, had been a staunched supporter of the guild one way or another and whose homilies had been a rich source of wisdom. 

To John Paul Bayhon (who upon this posting is deceased) for being a wonderful example of humility and excellence. 

EdMark Matuseños, yes, I may not know him well, but just like the plays that I needed and watched during Theatre 171: Playwriting your works, your style and how you probe ideas are a beacon of learning for me. 

SHIFT Staff and Scribbles member because of you guys, my writing skills maybe mediocre compared to others in the group but what the heck, you guys are the Plato's of my life, unwittingly telling me to always be vigilant and to constantly hone my writing skills. 

And lastly, (during the time of the original printed version, just died) IN MEMORIAM to my dear LOLA ESTHER EVANGELISTA who passed away, you shall be missed terribly.
