Avenue Q Rocks!

Despite the lack of sleep, I really had a good time watching Avenue Q at the RCBC Plaza Auditorium last Saturday night. Being a parody of Sesame Street, it was so hilarious, given its’ adult theme and use of “obscene” language! Every cast member gave their best to bring us good entertainment. I particularly love the songs “It Sucks to be Me”, “Schadenfreude” and the finale song...

But only for now! (For now) Only for now! (For now) Only for now! (For now) Only for now! Only for now! (For now there's life!) Only for now! (For now there's love!) Only for now! (For now there's work!) For now there's happiness! But only for now! (For now discomfort!) Only for now! (For now there's friendship!) Only for now (For now!) Only for now! Only for now! (Sex!) Is only for now! (Your hair!) Is only for now! (George Bush!) Is only for now! Don't stress, Relax, Let life roll off your backs Except for death and paying taxes, Everything in life is only for now!

Kudos to everybody behind the musical. Job well done! Thanks to you Carl... you need not worry about us not being amused... the P1,300 was worth it! :-P

My Cute Daemon

We watched "The Golden Compass" last Sunday night and after that, I got excited about my Daemon. After seeing Carl's, named Eutropia, I visited the website and discovered mine...




Guys, what do you think?

Balut Appreciated

I love how Andrew Zimmern appreciates the Philippines. I was watching “Bizaare Foods” of Discovery Travel And Living Channel when he went to Pateros for a “balut fest”. It was a very enlightening 1st experience for him! He actually liked it! There were more Pinoy delicacies that he tried like Soup #5, golf ball worms called Uok and keso-ube “dirty” ice cream on hamburger buns... only in the Philippines. In contrast, this Zimmern’s comment struck me the most...

I mean, do you really want to hear anything else about the Manila where there is more sadness, poverty, pollution and traffic than almost any other place in the world that I have ever visited? Or do you want to hear about the Manila where the privileged elites live behind walled compounds with private mercenaries guarding them and spend their days working in high-rise office towers and their afternoons shopping at Prada? Amazing world we live in...

Moments of Bliss

Yay yay! I won a new 3G iPod Nano 4GB! It was the last stretch of the raffle for our company’s Blackout Christmas Party last Saturday night at Bagaberde Roxas Avenue when the electronic drawing revealed my name as one of the lucky winners! And I’ve always thought I am such a sore loser when it comes to probability and games of chance. To add, my friend Erika also won... a flat screen TV and a DVD player! Oh how we love moments of bliss... and good karma! Hee hee!
