"Brighter Than The Sun"

Just so I can get rid of this LSS (Last Song Syndrome) because of the Solaire commercial :p

Very nice song, though

FOOD: Moshi Koshi. Had a team lunch at their Robinsons Galleria branch. It's a nice place for Japanese fastfood since it's new, clean and it's quite affordable. Php300 is already a decent budget for a single meal. It's specialty are the noodles (ramen, udon and soba) because they apparently make them fresh everyday. We ordered Tempura Soba (my order), Kani Salad, Katsudon, Kara-age Bento and an Ebi Tempura

... Habemus Papam

I'm sure everyone has been seeing "Habemus Papam" in the last 12 hours over Facebook, Twitter and other social networking sites; and I'm also sure, some of you doesn't know what it means (including me). All we know is that we (that is, us, Catholics) have a new Pope ... and that is exactly what it means! "Habemus Papam" roughly means "We have a Pope!" ... in the person of Argentinian Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio. As a Holy See, he will be known as Pope Francis 1

... Piaf from Atlantis Productions

From the streets of Paris to worldwide fame, Edith Gassion (known as ‘PIAF’, the sparrow) continues to be remembered and revered for her exceptional voice and extraordinary life.

 In this new version of PIAF, which premiered at London’s Donmar Warehouse in 2008 before transferring to the West End. Pam Gems has reworked her classic 1978 play, vivily capturing the glamour and squalor, the rise and fall of this complex, fragile and enigmatic performer.

 Featuring over 25 of Edith Piaf’s most famous songs including La Vie en Rose, Autumn Leaves, Hymn a I’amour and the iconic Non, je ne regretted tiene, PIAF brings back to the stage one of the country’s finest stage actresses, Pinky Amador.

Staging will be from March 8 to 24. You can buy your tickets online at atlantisproductions.com.
