At around 8 pm last night I was at SM-Batangas..just doing nothing but strolled around..then coffee at Starbucks..Seen my office mate - with her wife and children..nice family..then my cousin Jephren texted me..and we found ourselves at Euphoria just in front of SM..live bands..more beers, lots of chicks..more foods..beer again..talented bands but only played contemporary music..I have missed those intense and emotional bands of the 90's..most of the bands now are just "a copycat" and just played and no emotions or just nothing but played the music..I cannot get the connection..anyways but they brought the night down to our knees with their rendition of the most popular RNB and hiphop songs nowadays..

This is not about PLDT's convergence marketing ads way back in the 90's ( I actually remember it hahaha!!) but this is how this coffee shop converged us last Wednesday in one place in one time. I had no intention of going for a cup of coffee but then my cousin Jephren ( my coffee buddy) texted me and if we can go for a drink that night. And I said yes. Then my office mate Harry also is in need of a shot of coffee that night. So we decided we could go together. And along the way I had met Jose, my high school classmate, and I invited him to join us. And so we were four with different backgrounds and ideas converged into two hours of non-stop exchanging of ideas. And it felt good to learn from different individuals who have diverse knowledge since we all came out from different schools and work. And then we have seen on the next table, our other officemates, the C&PR department, doing their usual get-together or somewhat a bonding for the group. A convergence. Imag...

 And our lunch is delighted by a delicious native chicken tinola courtesy of Sonny cooked by Japs.. And a couple of days ago I was the one who buy the chicken ( actually gave the money and Miel bought it) and we had enjoyed the hot delicious soup and the papaya and the whole tinola. And diet was shattered ( only that lunch) and my stomach was so full  I never had the chance to crave for the snack food.

 Yesterday and I was staying at home with no plans of going out that suddenly my Ate Arlyn called me and asked if I want to go with them to Alabang that morning. Without thinking twice I said yes. First stop: lunch at Bonchon Chicken in Festival mall..I have noticed that beautifully painted wall..  Second stop: The Coffee Bean And Tea Leaf ( CBTL ) in Alabang Town Center..actually Ate Arlyn and Kuya Efren were left somewhere in ATC and were busy going around the mall when my coffee instinct strikes and I was with my nephews Andre and Limuel.. And lastly we had our snack which was more than a meal since we ate at CBTL minutes before Ate called us and asked our whereabouts and we headed to this California Pizza Kitchen where they are waiting for us..

why do we love pictures? a memory remembered? flashback of good and happy old days? all of the above..and as the saying goes...there will come a time when those pictures become just an old photographs and memories..so relive them now!

I think I should do this. There are lots of photos on my portable hard disk and somehow I would like to bring them to this blogs. But sometimes there are blogs that really need some space in here and some are just for safekeeping only. So I want this series of entries dedicated only for those photos that should land in this site of mine. For art's sake? I am fond of looking and maybe buying those piece of art but it is too expensive..maybe when I get much older with much asset ( hopefully) I could buy and collect those piece of art and history..
