Mein Geburtstag

Had a great day. Started with breakfast with the family at Something Fishy. Sulit pa rin ang breakfast buffet nila kahit malayo na ang presyo sa dati.

I wanted to watch DUP's Hinabing Pakpak ng Ating mga Anak at 3pm, but decided to cancel due to some friends' plans. A few friends and I just decided to meet up at SM's The Block to catch the 6pm screening of Journey to the Centre of the Earth 3D in the D-Cinema.

Got an interesting text from Bryan that someone from ABS-CBN wanted to get us (Kinema) to sing at the live "Boy and Kris" episode on Monday morning. One to two songs lang daw, and here's the clincher: we were to serenade Angel Locsin. Syempre, sa dami na ng nagtratrabaho at nasa professional schools sa amin, hindi namin kaya. Sayang talaga. Major publicity rin yun and kailangan talaga namin ang money for the album. Oh well, maybe next time. I think that's the second time we had to turn down an ABS-CBN gig. (The first was an ABS-CBN Publishing event.)

Maaraw buong umaga at hapon. That is, hanggang lumabas ako. Paglabas na paglabas ko ng condo, biglang humangin nang sobrang lakas. As in napuwing pa ako at pumasok ang pagkarami-raming alikabok sa condo lobby. (Akala ko may tornado na, hehe.) Then, biglang umulan nang sobrang lakas! Dahil sa lakas ng hangin, bumaliktad ang payong ko at nabasa ako, so I went back up to our place to change.

What you should know is that it never fails to rain on my birthday. NEVER. Palaging may bagyo, o kaya ulan, kahit unexpected. At ang malas pa, palaging natataon pag lumalabas ako. (Therefore, humanda na kayo sa July 26, 2009. Feeling ko kahit nasa ibang bansa pa ako by then, uulan din kung nasaan ako, hehe.) I remember one time, it was so hot the entire day so we decided to just go to a mall and eat out in the evening. The moment the car left the driveway, rain poured like crazy. Ganito rin nangyari kanina. Ang masaya pa, the moment we reached SM, tumigil ang ulan. Hahaha.

Anyway, masaya naman pagdating sa The Block. The film was great in 3D! I feel that if one saw it in a regular theater, it would have been a terrible movie. (Walang kwenta ang plot at characters. Pang-special effects lang talaga.) Designed talaga for 3D-digital, kaya sulit naman. I was craving for some Asian fare afterwards so it was a good thing there was a Banana Leaf Cafe sa Block, kung saan nagsawa kami sa curry.

Salamat sa lahat ng bumati ngayong araw!
