But I'm here

If I’m there,

(a) I’d be attending this year’s Panagbenga. It must be special since Baguio City is celebrating its centennial year. It’s been three years since I’ve experienced one. I miss Session Road, I miss the pizza house near RCBC (no, not Shakey’s), I miss biking, I miss chilling, I miss strawberry pastillas, I miss checking the ukays without buying anything, I miss Good Shepherd’s Ube. And a lot more.

(b) I’ll definitely watch the Final Set concert of Eraserheads next month. I finally got a CD of their August 30 concert last December. I still feel goosebumps whenever I listen to the opening song Alapaap. I’ll just have to wait for the concert CD/DVD (again). This reminds me that I need to ask a friend who’s coming here next month to get a DVD of August 30 concert (released weeks after I went back here) + other stuff, as pasalubong to me. ;)

How funny, Ely with his current band Pupil went to Dubai on December 5 last year. They performed in Rakrakan with The Dawn and other bands. I was never interested. I thought I don’t just want a slice of cake, I want the whole cake.

After New Year, as I was switching channels I saw Ely in Sharon. I don’t watch Sharon but I did that day. Ely sung (with Pupil) Disconnection Notice. They’re good. Aah, I should have gone to Rakrakan.

(c) I’ll probably join the Ultimate Brothers’ Batanes Tour next month. I wish the same tour will be held again to coincide with my next vacation.

    Pizza Volante? Saka wala na rin yung Shakey’s sa may RCBC. I love Session Road too. Went to Baguio last December, and despite the pollution and the sobrang daming tao, I still love it. You should go to Maryknoll Ecological Sanctuary. That is, if you’re here. :(

  12. theonoski says: February 11, 20098:05 am

    I’ve never explored Zambales. I’m looking forward to that post.

  15. witsandnuts says: February 9, 20097:59 am

    Huhu, inggit ako. Dami nga fare promo dyan.

  16. witsandnuts says: February 9, 20097:59 am

    Yes, lengua de gato! My maternal family is planning a trip there to coincide with my next vacay.

  17. witsandnuts says: February 9, 20097:59 am

    Heehee, pricey nga. But I’m sure that would be worth it. There’s an ongoing promo by seair. You might want to consider it.

  18. witsandnuts says: February 9, 20098:00 am

    The grand celebration in Cebu is appealing, too. I’ll be very torn if I’m in your shoes cause I’m a huge Eheads fan. :) I miss Cebu, too.

  19. witsandnuts says: February 9, 20098:00 am

    Your Bicol trip is of course very important. :) I miss authentic laing and bicol express.

  20. witsandnuts says: February 9, 20098:04 am

    Yeah, my feet are itching to go home again for the concert. But I’ve just had my vacation last December. Thanks for dropping by.

  21. witsandnuts says: February 9, 20098:10 am

    Our dream will come true. Someday. Heehee.

  22. witsandnuts says: February 9, 20098:12 am

    True. Although Ely claims his doctor said he’s fit now. Sana hindi na maulit yung dati. Haha, super affected ako nun.

  23. witsandnuts says: February 9, 20098:13 am

    Everyone’s itching for a break!

  24. witsandnuts says: February 10, 20095:11 am

    Yeah, Pizza Volante! The last time I went there (2006), Shakey’s was still alive. I’ll take note of the sanctuary. Thanks for the reco.

  25. witsandnuts says: February 11, 20098:35 am

    Nope, I won’t be there because I’m here in UAE.
