a thought.

I dont really have rules, but what I'm looking for are exceptions to the rule.

And that makes it more complicated than it already is.

ironic, don't you think?

Ironically, the MRT, which happens to be my main mode of transportation, is now open until midnight, just when we're moving out of QC.

I've also developed a really bad case of phobia since the resurgence of noisy (and scary!) dogs that ply our street. So even if I could take the train, the walk from the station to my house means a lot dog-related risky business.

Even if there arent any dogs, midnight means darker streets and possibly even less people in that dark stretch of 11th jamboree outside GMA.

Oh well. Its an option at least. And something that I think a lot of commuters would appreciate.

remembering Friday

Last Friday night I was determined to head off to Saguijo's to catch Cynthia's gig. I didn't even ask around on who would want to go, it just so happened that Jenny asked me what my plans were and she wanted to go too. But alone or otherwise, I still would have headed off to the venue.

Since gigs tend to start late, we watched a movie first. Bewitched since I like Nicole Kidman. It was a fully booked night actually, we had invitations from people to watch Rockestra (which I heard was good) and also Chicosci at Big Sky Mind. I insisted on staying in the Makati area, since SaGuijo's was my priority. So off to G4 for the movie.

And then came SaGuijo!!!! We were there at a relatively early time of 1030, parked the car and proceeded to the entrance. I asked the people there who were playing (although I knew it was Cynthia + 2 other groups). So they listed off three groups....AND CYNTHIA WASNT ONE OF THEM!!!

Shocked, I asked, or stammered, or demanded ( I honestly dont know which anymore)..."What about Cynthia?"....
and they said she had to cancel because she was sick.
And then I started feeling like I too, was getting sick. To be accurate, I was recovering from a bout of cough and colds, but I felt like I was having a relapse.

No Cynthia. Her last gig that I saw was pre-Melbourne. And Melbourne was 2 years ago.

So we backed out. And we had to call the others to go to the other gig.
Dumbstruck, we made our way to QC. Getting lost in San Juan in the process, and finding several One Ways and No Left Turns along the way.

But we made it to Big Sky. And my night was salvaged. There seven or eight of us there from work, with our officemate-by-day-drummer-by-night band member, Jose. Sometime during the night we started kidding around and started asking him for autographs, and making him pose for pictures with us too...

He was a good sport, refusing the autograph requests and probably thinking we were crazy for the photo ops. But it was all in good fun.
At 230 AM we called it a day/night/week and left. I was disappointed since I havent had my Cynthia fix, but happy since we had fun at the Chicosci gig. Would've been better if idol Jose sang backup though. Oh and it was Boyband night too. hahaha!
