The return of the Gleeks

I did a marathon of Glee, Season 1 (got a discounted DVD set from Hong Kong airport) last weekend. Just in time for the second season which will premiere tomorrow (13 April) on Fox Channel. It is hugely entertaining and the characters are simply endearing. I would like to see more Asians in the cast. The extras in the fourth DVD were fun to watch because these contain video diaries (all of them used a Flip video), casting, and more.

I’m making a playlist from the soundtrack and my favorites are Sweet Caroline, Can’t Fight This Feeling, Don’t Stop Believing, You Can’t Always Get What You Want and Smile (Lily Allen). I am expecting more and better songs in this season.

Here is the complete set of songs from Season 1:
Glee: The Music, Volume 1
Glee: The Music, Volume 2

Panguil River Eco Park 5

(The fresh water is coming from the mountains. It is refreshingly cold.)

My cousin’s wedding prompted a random reunion and outing. Prior to that, our last family outing was in Club Manila East. But since this year was extra special, as we were reunited with relatives based abroad whom we have not seen from five to eight years, we chose a place which is and will forever be important and memorable to us. We did not even think of the fancy resorts in Laguna and nearby provinces.

High School Reunion cupcakes

(Photo taken by a friend-batchmate on 3 April 2010 during our reunion. The 3 different colors used in frames represent the sections.)

… because our photos from the highschool yearbook were on it. :)

Edit: Try to find the heart and you’ll see me.

The Procession

Holy Week 4

I am thankful that my weeklong stay in the Philippines coincided with the Holy Week. Our country is among those noted in its observance. In particular, Pampanga, Bantayan Island, Marikina and (some towns) in Laguna, Rizal, Bulacan are known for the procession. The day after my cousin’s wedding was Palm Sunday. And since then, I looked forward to the Holy Wednesday and Good Friday processions. I have missed these for years.
