It was a nostalgic night for me and my posse (Nathan, JR and myself) as we dare to be different that night of December 5, and travel through time and landed at Alan’s Grill, its right inside Marikina Shoe Expo. A popular place in Cubao during the early eighties up to mid nineties where they sell quality handcrafted shoes that were made in Marikina. Now they sell water filters because of Ondoy lol.

We party all night with songs and tunes from the 80′s and 90′s, particularly New Wave music. It was way much cooler if they offer Beer Hausen, Manila Beer, Lagerlite or Carlsberg haha! DJ’s George Frederick of WXB 102 – The Station That Dares to be Different was the first to do the mixing of vinyls on the turntables to the delight of all old schooler’s at the venue! He initially played the song “Do they know its Christmas” by Band-AID. Other cool songs from Echo and the Bunnymen, Depeche Mode, New Order, The Smiths etc.. etc.. echoed throughout the night.

Other discjockey icons were there too! The pretty Lady DJ AGNES MACASAET, Tazmanian Devil, Harry Nolan and Jay Laforteza to name a few.  I like to hang all of you haha! I love this kinda gig. It brings back good ol’memories. Long Live New Wave era!

At last, I’ve found my long lost brother! At the set of the much awaited drama teleserye of ABS-CBN “Habang May Buhay”. Im talking about the hunk and debonaire Derek Ramsey! Can you see the similarity on our smiles? hehe. Of course Im just joking that we’re brothers. If only I got dental care discounts with my dentist, maybe I can also have that kind of whitey teeth too like my idol Derek.  Whaddyatink? Don’t answer! lol

It’s so COLD! Brrrrrr!

I swear, at times like these, I wish I could go have a vacation some place sunny, like maybe in puerto vallarta mexico.

The “Ber” months in the Philippines are pretty cold nowadays, especially this December. I think I’m going to get the colds again, especially since I don’t heat my bath water and that I walk home at 6pm in the evening. Once, I even woke up at 3 am in the morning and headed outside our house to watch my breath turned into fog haha!. Brrr… It’s probably a good thing that the Philippines is close to the equator… I dread the moment when it would snow here. I’d probably be one of the first ones to suffer from frostbite and hypothermia. XD

Anyway, I guess it’s time to bring out my jacket (or cuddle close to my partner hahaha). But I get the feeling that once summer comes in, I’ll be ranting about the heat again. Hahaha!
