Sat.night with Noel Cabangon

He is no Piolo nor Sam * but Noel Cabangon charmed the Pinoys here in Geneva last night with his great voice and funny antics.I actually saw him performed for Balik-Aral a few years ago and last Friday afternoon while having a mug of chocolat chaud with hubby in Parc de Bastion, kuya Joseph approached us and told me about the concert. All the while, Noel was playing chess-the big ones on the ground- and his accompanist, Nikko Rivera was also there. We were introduced to him and I promised to see his concert. The repertoire of his songs brought back memories and reminded me of life in the Philippines. There were 3 front acts,each has 3 songs which I think, are too much but in fairness they are talented artists. I just hope that the vocalist from the Martian Dream(a Filipino band of 4 young musicians) would articulate better next time. Honestly aside from the title, I didn't understand much of the lyrics,sorry! Was it my hearing or my age? But then again, they made me swing every ...

Not so Fine for a frugal like me

This is just one my silly tactics, not only because I love chestnuts but paying that amount due to my inattentiveness made me cringe.
Life in Lombard is settling a bit. My morning class is on it's 2 nd month already while my German class is on it's first stage. I am so excited that I can say a phrase in german!lol Anyway, I have more or less adapted to my new routine which was not that easy at the beginning. This is why I wasn't able to post for a looong time. I feel so bad that up to now we haven't decided about baby K's first birthday party. She will turn one on the 11 th of this month. Honestly, I don't want to have a big one, just the kind where she would blow her candle, eat her carrot cake and have fun. I want everybody who are witness of her growth be there--and there are so many of them (talk about not having a big party!). So how to have a simple first birthday party? Gosh, I feel so awful!
