an emo & a marley

rye & myself watched the movie "300" a few weeks back at the sm north. we ate at shakeys' earlier. rye got himself a meatball pasta & ordered the "captain's choice" platter which consisted of fries, calamares & fish fillets which we shared. he was eyeing for the new nokia n73 so we scouted for that cellphone unit on all mobile stores in SM. we went afterwards to the ever gotesco. he shopped a few household stuff from the japanese convenient store then scouted for an n73 on more cellphone shops at the top floor.

a few days later, a workmate sent an sms that he had a couple of tickets for the reggae fest at the old westin hotel where the special guest was ziggy marley, bob marley's son. i so wanted not to miss it but when i woke up in the afternoon & replied to my workmate, he was no longer holding the ticket which was supposed to get me to the concert hassle-free. so i wondered for hours, exchanged messages with my girlfriends & finally arrived to a plan to just simply enjoy each others' company at timog. we went to behrouz to eat our favorite plate of kabab beef & ox brain. afterwards, we headed to purplehaze at tomas morato. favorably, i liked the band who played that night & was worth the P150 each we spent for the entrance fee, which came w/ 1 consumable red horse beer. the theme was "emo" rock & the main band was typecast! i have never watched them play so that was my opportunity to see them rock live!

right after that much anticipation of seeing a rising 'rock star' came a little close to unsatisfactory because all we heard the whole night was, well, noise. we were hoping that the band typecast would calm the developing headaches & ear aches we were receiving from the earlier bands but they didn't. they all were practically playing nothing but noise. i don't blame the bands though, we were discussing that the emanating noise from the band instruments were, i don't know, numbing everyone's ears & heads most probably due to the way the bar was built. i am often comparing places i've been to saguijo which practically is the coolest, far most breathable, rock space i've ever been too. every band i've heard play there seemed to know their pieces ever so professionally, though it's the first time i've heard of their names. you get my grip? so ofcourse we left after typecast played. i did enjoy a few of their songs like, 'will you ever learn' & a few more pieces, & yeah, sang along. purplehaze, we consumed most of the wee hours of the morning at starbucks timog. this time i didn't order myself a frappe due to my cold. i got me an oreo cake which i've been begging ryan to get me for days, which he obviously failed to do so. saleng shared her coffee jelly frappe w/ me w/c i enjoyed as well.

ryan asked myself & our daughter out the next day. we had plans to buy rayne her first every baby bicycle. we went to sm fairview & had late lunch at the pizza hut. ryan was craving for their new rib steak. i got me a mango salad & we shared a regular thin-crusted pizza.

after which we strolled to toy world where we scouted for the perfect bike for our little daughter. ryan was interested to get the very expensive remote-controlled toy car for rayne. we've agreed eventually not to get it since we're getting a new television for rayne & we might as well plot our budget for the tv rather than getting a car almost as expensive w/c rayne might not fully enjoy throughout her childhood. anyhow, after sitting rayne to every other bike displayed, nothing fitted her. it was either rayne is huge for her age or the bikes we are eyeing for her are not for her age. hence, we weren't able to get one that day. too bad she had to wait until she can ride those real bicycles which she had to paddle herself using her tiny feet.
