Spontaneous Benefits

Posted by special_child at 10:05 PM on February 7, 2007.

Sometimes, doing overtime work gives you an unexpected twist!

More than like 30 minutes ago, I just finished my work. But I was still downloading something, so I decided to go down and get some fresh air. Apparently, my feet lead me to Cybermall and... lo and behold... I saw M.Y.M.P.!

M.Y.M.P. was there for the Myx Call Center Tour. They were performing for E-telecare, which also houses their center in Cybermall. It was great that I still got to see them sing some of their hits from their previous albums. It was just a small crowd, since the place can only accommodate a few people. But... the songs were nice. Juris and Chin and the rest of the band were all energetic and vigorous as they sang the night away with their hits. I especially enjoyed Get Me and their revivals from their new album, New Horizon.

And as I walked back from Cyberone to IBM Plaza, I can't help but wonder why I wasn't able to take a picture of Karel Marquez. Hehe. But anyways... at least, though blurred, I got a picture of Juris. Too bad I didn't have a camera with me. But the feeling of watching them live? Too good for words.


Top Ten Events That Happened The Past Two Weeks

10. I was bullied by a lot of Chinese the past two weeks.
9. I had to talk to a Chinese transition manager who looks like a rocker.
8. I was able to watch Babel. It's eerie, dragging, and too unrealistic, but it's still good. Kudos to the Oscar nominees.
7. I was able to watch Stranger Than Fiction. I think this movie is very cool in terms of graphics, sounds, and storyline.
6. Vic celebrated his birthday last week. We had a very nice (and heavy) lunch at Dampa Sa Libis.
5. I got our yearbook already!
4. I started a new book! Move over, Gabriel Garcia Marquez!
3. We were able to play bowling and billiards again. It's a good thing Ge and I were partners. Merryll and Vic weren't able to beat us.
2. I saw M.Y.M.P. in concert!

-and... (drum roll please)-

1. Tagaytay galore! It was a very memorable experience... aside from all the fun... and the Mushroomburger.


Well... I went on over-overtime just to finish this entry. So till the next entry!

Marvin the Martian™, jaz thinking aloud


P.S. I hope I would still have time to finish One Hundred Years Of Solitude.
