Because I Wanted Wine..

Last Saturday, Scott and I "finally" (using finally as we have not seen each other for quite some time) went out for a date. The original plan was for us to watch "History Boys" at Glorietta - but I had to man our Go Negosyo booth in Megamall. NO more History Boys - The Holiday na lang...

After manning the booth, I decided to drop by Krispy Kreme! My, my - ang sarap talaga! :)
Medyo bad trip nga lang si Scott kasi naghihintay na pala siya sa tapat ng St. Francis, tapos pina-alis pa siya ng guard. Pero no biggie.

Hay...

Arrived at Eastwood around 8ish. Had dinner at Teriyaki Boy. Scott wanted to eat in the smoking-areas because he wanted to hear the Manila Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO) play.

As we were eating, I told him that I knew someone from the MPO. I knew Mr. Benj Bautista - 1st violin. I wanted to approach him, but I don't think he would have remembered. I texted his daughters (who were friends) that I'm watching their dad play. They told me that I should go up to him and re-introduce myself. Well, was too hungry to do anything.

Anyway, we listened to a 30 minute set. They played standards, classics and some new pop songs. After that, they invited people to come sing with them. There was this particular lady in pink who sang a couple of bossa songs, and she was sooo good! (I'm sorry Sitti, but she was better at Mas Que Nada.. ) After she sang, they gave away Novelino wines!

I wanted one.

So what would Kaybee do?

Haha!

I adorably begged Scott to let me go sing. And so I did.

Pakapalan na lang siguro ng mukha. Pero di ako matatahimik kung di ako makakakanta kasama ang MPO! (hello, rare chance to get to sing with seasoned professionals!)

So I bravely raised my hand and volunteered myself. (Haha... Di ako si Kaybee kung di malakas ang loob ko.)

I asked if I could sing Falling (pop. by Teri De Sario) since I earlier heard that they play this.
Amazingly, the crowd loved me even though I sorta mumbled a couple of lines of the song since I sorta forgort the lyrics. After that, they asked that I sing another song, so I decided to sing On the Wings of Love (not my top choice, but that was the piece available).

Crazy right? All for a bottle of wine?
