What a weekend...

Friday... helluva drive to my alma mater (De La Salle University). It took me almost two hours to get to a place that's hmmm... maybe 4 mi away from my office. Anyway, I was riding with a friend and eventually dropped her off in front of the university and I went off to pick up my honey at the nearby mall. He was so pooped when I saw him get in the car. Poor baby. We headed back to the school and parked the car. Knowing we were late, we still enjoyed the nice cool breeze (yes folks, there was a breeze in Manila). I was singling out some spots in the school to my honey, mentioning names of buildings and stuff like that. It was fun. Showing him where I spent some of the more unforgetable moments of my life.

Got to the La Salle main chapel, people were already singing. My friends were already seated on the left side of the chapel. The atmosphere was amazing. The performers (also friends of mine) were doing arias from various operas. These singers have not had formal vocal training and they sing as if they were professionals. Amazing really. Last year I was part of the list of performers and did "Nessun Dorma" from Pucini's Turandot. When we got there, I was hearing Vittoria by some composer being sung by a friend and she sounded amazing. All the performers did. It was such a treat!

After the recital, we all decided to head on out for dinner (late dinner that is). Went to The Power Plant Mall and ate at Dencio's. It was so much fun as people would be throwing all these side comments at each other. My honey was away somewhere to check out Page One (a bookstore) and see what they have to offer. Apparently, they have the same books as in Powerbooks, only more expensive. So we chatted the night away till it was about 1ish in the morning and we all had to head off.

The next day was a bit "messy" as plans to head to Tagaytay were still up in the air. Down to the last minute when I asked my dad to take me to me and my friend's agreed on rendezvous. -to be continued- (i think i just ended up deleting my post! FUCK!!!!)
