Schedule
1. Friday
Network Christmas Party, Kuya Germs and Izza Calzado was hosting the show. Jennylyn Mercado sang a Christmas song while we were having our catered dinner. Left early (about 8pm) to get some sleep, thus missing out on the rumored Sexbomb performance later in the evening.
2. Saturday
Office Christmas party at Dencio's at Capitol Hills. Cool costumes for everyone (somebody even came as Sauron!). Went as Panday, had a haircut earlier in the day, when the stylist gave me this incredulous look when I told him I wanted an FPJ cut. I don't think I'll be posting a picture. I've still got the long burns, though ;)
3. Monday
Went out with my favorite relatives, Tito Allan and Tita Cindy, who are in town for a vacation from New Zealand. They were the ones who took care of me and took me around UP before they left in 1998, so naturally, I took them for dinner at... Mang Jimmy's! Tito Allan was amazed at how the place has grown. After the yummy sisig and tapa mix, we were off to Conspiracy at Visayas Ave. to catch the benefit gig for typhoon victims from Infanta. We caught Joey Ayala, Noel Cabangon, Mon David, Cynthia Alexander, Bayang Barrios, Cooky Chua and even Aiza Seguerra. Dong Abay also performed, but since he had no guitar, he just recited his songs. My favorite performance was that of Jess Santiago, who charmed everyone with a sweet little (corny) love song. I'm a sucker for these things.
Sa aking lamig, ikaw ang kumot
Sa aking kati, ikaw ang kamot
Sa bawat paano, ikaw ang paraan
Sa lahat ng bakit, ikaw ang dahilan
Then we capped off the night with some more reminiscing for Tito Allan and Tita Cindy, as I took them to Countryside at Katipunan for tenga ng baboy and puwit ng manok. Winner!
4. Tonight
Slumber/Christmas party at
Jona's place with the Photon kids. Should be fun.
5. Friday Night
Noche Buena at Mama Bong's place at Pacita. Mmm, nalalasahan ko na yung spaghetti. Tangina, nagugutom ako sa post na 'to ah.
6. Next Monday
Cambio, Sugarfree, Twisted Halo and (I think) <s>andwich are playing at Conspiracy. I'll probably go. Wanna come?
