BGC Impromptu (Sept. 2)

❧

Had a blast performing during our first BGC Impromptu gig last Sunday at High Street Central!

Riz and I performed for an hour before John Sung, Robin Nievera and Joseph Wu played. Julianne dropped by to watch our set and obviously we had to convince her to sing a few songs. I swear, those who weren't there missed out on her awesomeness! It's a free gig in the middle of High Street, and we got THE Julianne Tarroja to play! I still can't believe how we're now friends with some of the musicians we've always looked up to. *fangirl moment*

 We were so happy with the turnout so we've decided to perform again this Saturday. Join us this September 8 at 6 PM, we'll be performing til 9 PM! Anyone up for a Mercato run after the gig? :)

Mango Tree & Geisha are both relatively new. They're located at the same area where Jamba Juice is in High Street. 


All I can say is that the food isn't that affordable & portions are small BUT you get what you pay for in both establishments - the food, service & presentation's great; the interiors and ambience-- just perfect. My dad's been saying that I seem to be attracted only to restaurants with nice interiors. I guess that's something that comes naturally if you were trained to critique interiors & nitpick over small details for so long (but hey, if the eats are bland, trust that I won't be writing about them).

That mushroom & cheese crepe from BIZU (forgot to jot down the exact name) I had for lunch. It was damnnn good. Not filling enough though, so mum and I got a salad:

Oh, Brie.. How I love thee.

Pizza Margherita (Cafe Mediterranean)... This was what dad had and I ordered a salad with QUINOA... I am now looking for ways to include it in my meals since it tastes awesome (never liked rice but this one, I can totally learn to love!). Google its benefits!

Pretty Rizza... (look at the next photo)

Monster-faced Riz

Joe's cool tatt by Ces Olondriz- I LOVE her blog! Esp because she photographs her textile designs and menswear stuff. You guys know any other local blogger/s who write about that? I don't browse through too many blogs unless someone recommends them to me or I find someone interesting. I like looking at menswear, tattoo art, architecture, textile, boring photos, photographs out of heavily processed film and creepie crawlies.

We were supposed to go up for the final song but ended up watching since I saw that they lacked microphones :)) I also wanted to listen/watch!

Riz LOVES giving people hugs. Even if she's fangirling before I take her photo with someone.

sidenote- i envy people with big, nice smiles!

It's funny how I NEVER end up needing the lyrics when I bring a copy with me. Okay, I sorta needed it during this performance but nobody noticed and it was Riz who forgot the words to the first stanza. (Whoops sorry to embarrass you, Rizzo!)

Okay, first photo of these two without them looking like a cutesy couple! Stressed, Pao? :))

Glad so many people watched!

My brother wanted photos with his "idol" kuyas :)

Thank you, MickeyDeeeez

The only pink thing I've ever placed in my bag- this retractable Kabuki brush from Make-up Designory at Serendra. Pretty cheap for a big brush, got it for only Php 500 and it's vegan! I use it for my face powder.

Some goodies given to me by Trilogy-- thank you!

Couldn't stop ranting (and reading similar rants on twitter) about how hot this city is getting so this BOY wore a DRESS. Heee...

While I was at Trilogy I managed to purchase new TOMS (stonewashed, red ones)and these new frames.

They are the lightest next to my Swissflex (which I love, but getting them fixed for the 3rd time is too expensive) and they're made of wood! Hopefully they won't weigh too much when I get em back from the optical shop with my graded lenses. Eeep.

I'm in Singapore now and the WiFi in our hotel room is pretty messed-up. Dad sorta used the LAN connection before the WiFi so now we can only use the LAN in our room. WiFi works everywhere else, though. Will be back in Manila by Monday with lots of school matters to face.

I will forever love the gym and infinity pool in this hotel!
