It was, I think, after my second large french fries at mcdonalds when maian came holding out this ticket. A musical concert, hmmm. this would be a nice break from the monotony of office life, I said to myself, and so I gave in =).
The Sports Club was a pleasant sight. The bar on the second floor, just outside the sinulog ballroom looked very inviting, but then I remembered that we were there for the show and not the drinks. The concert was filled with older people and foreigners which made me wonder if my generation never really appreciate these kinds of events. Maian reminded me however that this was some sort of by-invitation-only-concert. So desu ka.
Napoleon Abueva, the national artist for sculpture was there with his family. It was a pleasant experience to watch world renowned Filipino artists perform right before their countrymen for free. (Well, at least for me it was free, I don't know if the Arts Council of Cebu paid them..)
Going home, hums of unfamiliar melodies filled my ears. I'm glad I went there instead of going back to the office and working on my pc. The hundreds of mp3's on my hard disk is nothing compared to what I would have missed.
