The sopranos meet once a week for a sectional rehearsal. To entice more attendees and to make it more fun to the regular attendees, we made a gimmick day out of it. Deepa arrived from Singapore, just to join us. Chez!
We started with a girly movie. We were so noisy inside the theater, you'd think we're a bunch of teeny-boppers. We can hear Gutsy and Staly's silent screams of delight when the ever-gorgeous Pierce professed his undying love for Merryll. We were all commenting and laughing about the same things. It was a wonder that we didn't get reprimanded by the attendants.
This was followed by a meal at Barrio for our ultimate comfort food, Crispy Pata and Kare-kare. All nine of us, including Mimi and Trina, couldn't finish off two orders of each. It was Pia and Elaine who finished everything, down to the bones. Cholesterol galore!
Everybody was sleepy from all the food so we just went through our pieces very quickly. The main purpose of the day lasted for only an hour!
Some revelations:
1. Ayie and I wouldn't have seen the film if not for this day with the gehls. Our better halves wouldn't have joined us.
2. Elaine has an appetite that you wouldn't believe. We know where all the food goes... to the right curves!
3. Staly is unfamiliar with the area. She had a very stressful drive to our meeting place.
4. Colin Firth is a good dancer.
5. At least half of the sops have a penchant for paper products. We'll probably have a stationery/sticker trading day. Maybe after our mineral make-up demo day?
6. I am so glad I was still a baby in the seventies. Those bell-bottoms and bell-sleeves are too hideous. Pierce wore his with dignity, though.
7. I didn't know that Abba sang Thank You for the Music
