To Be "Cultured"

QUARTET FROM JAPAN

Friends from Nihongo Class- Zarah & Weng, invited me to come with them to a Japan Foundation Sponsored event: J-Classic Concert

So Popoy and I went to CCP (which ironically took almost 2 hrs with so much traffic when normally it would have taken about 20minutes only). I brought Popoy with me because he said he had never heard an orchestra or quartet played live before. 'You have to go!' I immediately said. He said, "yeah, I should para naman maging 'cultured' din ako (so i can also be 'cultured')" I don't know about you, but seeing and hearing an orchestra live is such a magnificent experience!

I wasn't wrong because we all marveled and enjoyed the concert. It's just different live, the sound, the feeling in your nerves... it's as if the sound waves are just passing right thru your body! At times i feel the hair in my arms stand up :)

i wish they could have one more sponsored event like that.

Pia's Birthday + Tequila Rose Strawberry Experience

It was Ate Pia's birthday. My 'kababata' - childhood friend. Frankly, I don't remember her. I was about 7 yrs old when I left Las Pinas... I couldn't remember much. What I remember was coming over to her house and eating Pringles until our lips are thick and salty (her dad was a pilot, lots of loot there!). *sigh* childhood memories. It's nice to remember those little things, blurry memories of a small little girl : )

Now, at the party, she brought out tequila rose. NO IDEA WHAT IT WAS. NEVER SEEN IT. oh I don't drink and am not a party girl- FYI. I tell you my tolerance to alcohol is close to ZERO. I drink a little I turn into a tomato, get dizzy, and with more urging- I'd go Godzilla on you- every step I take *bbwaahh* i throw up. ewe. seriously. it's one of my frustrations in life- not being to dance top 1, and no tolerance to alcohol no. 2

Anyway, so I took a sip. Darn it! It was SOOOOO GOOOOOOD! It's probably the best tasting alcohol I've ever tasted (too little to compare it to really). Anyway, got a bit dizzy but I was fine. If I were to practice my drinking prowess, I'll probably do it with that.
