It’s almost February and I still have a few more New Year parties to attend to. These events were supposed to be held last December but were moved to January to avoid the December rush.
Kaya medyo parang hingal parin ako, naghahabol kasi parang ang dami pa ring parties.
I was at the Rockwell Club last wednesday for the joint New Year’s party and general membership meeting of the Johan Strauss Society of the Philippines Foundation, Inc.
This was the day that I tried to feel a little bit better by dressing up a little bit better.
This restaurant used to be Le Souffle
I was the very first to arrive. I thought it’s at 12 noon yun pala 12:30 pm. But even that, most of them came at past 12:30 pm.
Here with renowned virtuoso Raul Sunico. I first saw him perform at the graduation of my daughter from nursery at the Philippine Montessori Center in Whiteplains, 22 or 23 years ago.
