APO's 39th

Last Saturday was another pleasurable night with music. It was so fun singing along to the music of my childhood. I had no idea what I was listening to then. This time, I understood the music better. Though we arrived late, I was lucky to hear my APO favorites : When I met you Panalangin Magkayakap sa Dilim Batang - bata Ka Pa Mahirap Magmahal ng Syota ng iba Tuyo Na'ang Damdamin Danny's voice was still very clear. He sounded as if he didn't age at all. Buboy showed off his dance moves. Jim was still the pretty boy of the group.

Even if I was carrying my Gucci, I couldn't watch the concert looking/feeling like a drowned rat. I had to rush to the mall to get new set of clothes so I wouldn't be chilly the rest of the night. Thank God for Havin A Baby. Their sale items were nice enough. ----------------------...
