Gin Blossoms Live in Cebu






Here's a band that I and my generation can relate to. Talk of 90s music and Gin Blossoms is sure to come up in the list of top bands. Who can't say that songs such as As Long As It Matters, 'Til I Hear It From You, and Hey Jealousy weren't part of their growing up years.


This concert is already confirmed and will happen on November 20, 2010 at the concert destination in town --- Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino. The event starts at 8PM. Tickets are sold at Php 2500, 2000, 1350, 1000, and 600. You may call (032) 232 6888 and have yourself connected to the ticketing office.


This is a concert people of my YOUNG age wouldn't want to miss. ;O)  See you guys!


Here's a little something from Gin Blossoms. A trip down memory lane...



Tale of the Moled Sole




Old people tell us that having moles in specific parts of the body have certain meanings. If you have a mole at the back of your hand it means that you will be earning lots of money. Moles on the upper area of the lips suggest a person with a very strong attitude and a very goal-driven person.

I have a mole hidden from plain sight. It's down there and can only be seen if I don't wear anything on it. No, not that! Much lower. I have a mole on the sole of my left foot and it's visible only when I don't wear a slipper. :) So there you have it, I have a moled sole. My lola told me having this mole indicates that I have the strong desire to travel, to grab opportunities for adventure, and to seek escapades. In short, "laagan".  And true enough, I was, I am, and will continue to succumb to the call of wanderlust.

The last statement calls to mind the age-old mystery of which came first, the chicken or the egg. In my case, I wonder if I am fond of travelling because I have a mole OR do I have a mole because I am fond of travelling. The answer: I don't know. All I know for sure is that I enjoy travelling to near and distant destinations. I drool at the thought of trying new dining spots whether it's a carenderia or a restaurant. And I get stirred up when I hear of upcoming exciting events.

This blog is both a collection and celebration of the joys of ADVENTURE. Here, I will share with you must-go-to travel destinations, plates and bowls of gustatory delights, as well as let you know what's the buzz in town.

Cheers to adventure! Cheers to my moled sole! :)
