music relaxes the soul


i went to the mall yesterday (one of the two biggest in Cebu) with my someone, and walked the whole perimeter of the area (i mean, what else to do while in there? and its so hot outside!).
anyway, not much really went on inside, until around 7pm. you see, the mall has a huge "entertainment area"--for events and all that. and yesterday, it has been turned into a mini concert FOR FREE! who are we to say no to freebies, right? :)
a local band was playing (i think they're called Louie something, not sure), but what really got me hooked was their take on the songs. all four members (3guys, 1girl) did turns singing, and all of them played various instruments, and they all sang well. i stayed until 9pm (my someone had to go home early). they're so good! they even did their own version of Jason Mraz's Im Yours which is very very nice. they also did some OPM (original pinoy music), and everyone just loved it. even the koreans who watched, shouted "more", though i doubt if they understood the song at all. hehe.
the place was packed--no chairs for everyone, so it was SRO (standing Room Only), though i can hardly call it Room since its an open area. haha.
so relaxing, just sitting there and taking in the sights and all the people and the band and the songs. kind of makes me want to form my own band (i soo want to do that, but for the sake of mankind, i'll just pass).
ps: the pic i used here, its of the same mall, but not yesterday. me, my someone and friends goofing around.

  1. Hey.. good to see you had fun.. your letter to Manoy was so sad and touching..

    I love to sit in the mall and see the people too. And esp what they are wearing - footwear/shoes. It's quite interesting not to talk and just sit and see..

    don't mind my asking, but are you in the pic? Would be nice to know which one is you.

  3. You look awesome - both of you.

    Although, I sort of thought you might be the girl having the most fun in the pic - the one in the grey tee. Good you have a cheery friend like her.
