Xanadu

Sept. 4, Saturday, 2pm, Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium, RCBC Plaza

Scored free tickets with fanta-bulous seats!  Orchestra centre...Totally enjoyed the show.  Rachel Alejandro and Felix Rivera's pairing always works for me.  I'm not going to review it.  Just wanted to tell the story of how I got the tickets...

It started last Friday...

I had a really late start (later than my usual), so I got to Makati City at around 11:30am.  Figured since the day was almost half-done, I'd pass by my former office to have lunch with N.  I received a totally unexpected text from Jon, once again, asking something about work stuff...I was being crazy and somewhat feeling que sera sera so I asked him to join us for lunch.(I didn't care that I was totally unprepared dressed in a so-not-into-guys-today uninspired white top and black slacks and flats) He was game for lunch...

Lunch wasn't exciting...As usual, work work work...In fact, it totally highlighted his lack of sense of humor in my presence...Mark made a snide remark about Meralco's tagline, which had me and N breaking into laughter.  I think we really lost control, because Jon was saying something, but N and I were really giggling and snorting (so NOT sexy!), Mark lost his poker face too and started laughing...Jon didn't join in and just waited for us to quiet down and then he went on with what he was saying like nothing happened.  What was up with that?! It's either he's really into work or he's all about work and not in a good way.

Since N had to go to the South for a meeting, we parted ways at around 12:45pm.  Jon and I decided to have coffee since it was too early to go back to the office.  And guess what? Yup, more work! Hahaha.  Maybe it was me.. I didn't know how to take control of the conversation.  Or maybe I overdid the eye contact thing. Hahaha!

I went to the office.  Made my time report.  Finished some admin stuff.  Got ready for R's surprise despedida dinner at Fely J's.  It turned out to be a single girls' night out. But since R had a German language exam the next day, we ended at about 11pm.  S gave me the tickets (according to her, "for the Sunday 2pm show), so that K and I could watch together.  K and I even texted each other "Good night! See you on Sunday!"

Saturday morning, I accompanied my Mom to the hospital for some tests.  She asked me what date it was...I said September 4...Uhm, wait a minute!  I remember seeing Sept. 4 on the tickets! Hahaha! Called my sister to check the tickets...Ooops, the show was for Saturday afternoon.  Texted K, it was just a little past 7am.  Went home at around 10am to get ready, K was running late plus K left her wallet in Anna's car so we had to meet Anna at Katips.  Finally, got to RCBC at around 1:30pm.

Anyway, I'm just really happy we got free tickets...
