Said the hearts all over the world tonight [x2]

[Verse 1]
Hey! Little mama,
Ooh, you’re a stunner
Hot..little figure,
Yes, you’re a winner
And I’m so glad to be yours,
You’re a class all your own
And..
Oh, little cutie
When..you talk to me
I swear..the whole world stops
You’re my sweetheart
And I’m so glad that you are mine
You are one of a kind and..

No Air

Tell me how I’m supposed to breathe with no air

If I should die before I wake
It’s ’cause you took my breath away
Losing you is like living in a world with no air
Oh

How time flies!  It feels like it was only a couple of weeks ago when I attended the exclusive media preview screening of The Amazing Race Asia 3 (TARA 3).  The screening was held at Fiamma on September 4, 2008, a Thursday, only over 2 months ago.  It was also on the same night of the TV premiere but 2 hours earlier and without the commercials.  The Amazing Race Asia 2 Philippine team, Marc Nelson and Rovilson Fernandez hosted the event.  Paula of another team (TARA2) also graced the event.

It was my first time to see Geoff from the famed “Backstreet Boys” Rexona commercial.  Tisha Silang on the other hand, I always get to spot since her office is on the same building as my office in Ortigas.  I was happy and surprised that they made the cut!  I remember seeing them on TARA 2 as the Primer showed “audition tapes” that didn’t make the cut.  I also remember seeing Director John (Street Productions?) from the Nokia Soul of Manila production team with his girlfriend in one of the audition tapes.  Theirs was a little funny and editorial.  Anyway, seeing Tisha and Geoff finally making it after getting the no-go for TARA 2 goes to show that Britney Spears didn’t get her record deal after just one audition.

Bubba and I wanted to send an audition tape for TARA 3 (just to give it a shot) but didn’t get around to doing one.  TARA 3 application period followed even before TARA 2 episodes ended.  It was a busy period for me while Bubba was just being plain lazy –or he doesn’t really want to do it.  I’ve been bugging him since TARA 2 to become interested in sending in a tape –or at least discuss it.  I even penciled it on my calendar, “Discuss TARA.”  I kept moving the date or putting it on repeat mode.  It’s almost been a year.  Not even a 15-minute discussion.  Hopeless.

The second time I saw the two from TARA 3 was last Monday at the Metro Club.  I immediately SMS-ed Bubba who was working at one corner and told him, “It’s a sign!!! We have MUST.  Discuss.  TARA plans.  ASAP.”  Next day Tuesday, we were at the media launch of Dinelli Gourmet and the long time dating couple hosted the event.  2 days in a row, that should mean something!  Not to mention the time Marc Nelson and Rovilson Fernandez hosted the Nokia Soul of the Night party –where Bubba and I were adventure race participants!   The world is certainly saying something to me –or us (because I cannot send an audition tape with only ME in it)! 

“When a person really desires something, all the universe conspires to help that person to realize his dream.”

Okay okay, my imagination is shooting to different places.  I’d better stop the rodeo-gunning spree.  Moving on.

I didn’t get to follow TARA 3 as much as I did TARA 2 (where I did not miss a show and kept watching the reruns over and over again to Bubba’s dismay), but I was still into it.  I missed a few shows here and there but what I miss I try to catch online.  There are three teams left, all of which, are very interesting duos.  I would’ve loved it though if AD and Fuzzie were still contenders with their laidback nonchalant attitudes –what a different element to throw in the mix.

Good times!

It is a happy talent to know how to play.

Bubba and I had an early Saturday as we head off to Antipolo at 6am.  October 18, 2008, it was the day of the Canon Photo Marathon and the venue is at MMLDC, Antipolo.  Upon arrival at 7am, we were just in time for the registration.  They looked for our names on their list.  The areas were segregated to Abueva-Castillo, Celeste-Diaz, and so on, which made it easier for the participants to locate where to fall in line.  But because of this organized process, there was no line at all.  They provided us with a race kit that includes a red Canon shirt (and vest to boot!  I like the black vest with pockets), Lipovitan and race guideline.

The program started at 845am which means we waited for almost 2 hours.  During the 2 hours wait, Bubba and I bonded in our sleepy state, laughing at ourselves while eating Lay’s Salt and Vinegar for breakfast.  So much for power breakfast.  As we look around the huge room of about 300 people, we can’t help but snicker at how ridiculous my guts are for joining.  Almost 90% of them looked like professional photographers.  I look at their long telescopic lenses and latest Canon Digital SLRs and softly caressed my small Lowepro bag, where my Canon 350D hide in shame.  Every time we caught a new person stroke his bad a** camera, we looked at each other with a glint of a smile.  I lean over and whispered in Bubba’s ear, “I really feel so insecure.”

Canon Photo Marathon officially started about 9am.  The first theme was Incredible View, where you capture nature’s most breathtaking scene/object.  30 minutes after (and 30 more high class lenses in sight), I raised the white flag.  Bubba and I sat in the car and thought, “Let’s go to Pink Kitchen”

1115am, we arrived at Rockwell Tent and registered.  It was only 35% full when we arrived but around 12nn, the place was packed!  There was no visible vacant seat for the new flock coming in.  Pink Kitchen is one of our more memorable food events  of 2007 and we were just excited to partake in IcanServe’s 2^nd installment of this annual event.

For some reason, my mind was in a whirlwind from all the fantastic food spread in front of me that I might have chosen the wrong dishes this time.  Wrong in the sense that I have tried these dishes before and could have tried them anytime from their original location after the event.  We had Chelsea’s pumpkin soup with goat cheese, Café Juanita’s beef rending (which I just had 2 weeks ago), morcon (I forgot where, this is Bubba’s order) and 1 whole frozen brazo to go (from Dimpy’s).

The whole set-up was so much prettier this year!!!  Prettier set-up with bigger and longer tables.  I love the pink and white drapery that billowing from the ceiling and crystal viney chandeliers.   Even the huge white screen projector is prettified with a white framing.  The stalls are in a garden fence theme.  Tables are adorned with a pink table runner, a centerpiece of flowers (green apple and flower, stalk arrangement) and a vase with butterflies inside.  I felt sorry for the butterflies though.  I was glad that 2 were able to escape.  Gold chairs with white cushion was same as last year if I remember right. 

Pink Kitchen has really made a mark in our food calendar with the best cuisines from local chefs and the benevolent cause behind the gastronomic event.  Visit the ICanServe website.
