Of Friendships and Miss Lea Salonga ( The Journey)
There are people you meet today and they become good friends--- for life. At least that's what you hope for. This is exactly what happened to me and my two sisters --- Miss HG and SolSister ( yes, we have "friendship names"-- I am Ms.B ).
We met briefly one summer afternoon last year. So brief in fact that I said hi to Girlie ( MissHG) who was the birthday celebrant on my way out the door and I briefly spoke to Sol, who was the party's host. I guess it was destined to be. Mr. Hubbs was the only one invited because he met Sol's husband Eric, and Vince who is Girlie's roommate. They met during a basketball game. For some "universal powers" working, I was "friends" with Girlie on Friendster---you know, that innovative social networking site that has gone to oblivion? So, I figured what's there to lose? I would only be there for a short time and if I am surrounded by total strangers who are not very friendly, my exposure should only be minimal because I was only going for my breaktime from work, which is about an hour less travel time of about 15-20 minutes each way. Mr. Hubbs does not like going to events without company, so he asked me if I could join him. The trooper that I am, I went, and the rest, as they say is history.
Miss Lea Salonga is my favorite. I have seen her perform on stage and had seen a concert of hers. Well, what do you know? My sisters love her too! Coincidence? No. Great minds think alike. Her voice is powerful but soothing, she is pure talent, no hype! So when I saw that Miss Lea is staging a cabaret style concert at the historic Carlyle Hotel in NY City, I was thrilled. I immediately asked people who wanted to join me ---- in Facebook. The only 3 people who replied were my niece, Fridah, Sol and Girlie.
The show is titled Lea Salonga, The Journey. As with many relationships, you need to put time and effort to friendship, it's a journey that is inspiring and beautiful yet with its own roller coaster ride.Yeah, we've heard "you know I am always there for you" line and the "we can pick where we left off" line... but really, if you want to develop a deeper and more meaningful friendship you need to be genuinely involved. Our journey as friends is past the the "i know we jive really well" and "we can talk about anything" stage--- but if we stopped from there, there would be no more time together, no little conversations, no just going out for some dinner time or the usual chatter. The journey of Miss Lea Salonga is one to reckon with. A simple young girl from an upper middle class family in the Philippines, her mother and her worked tirelessly to improve and market what is already acknowledged as talent beyond compare at that time. She excelled in school but inspite of that, even herself admits that she was never voted class president because of other's perception of her --- being snotty and overly goody goody. Then, the opportunity came, she auditioned to be Kim of the famed Oscar award winning Miss Saigon. It was difficult to be away from your home at such a young age and be a star with a very tedious routine as Kim. But, she did not only win the hearts of Broadway regulars but the famed Tony Olivier Award--- the Oscar of stage theater. Worth mentioning is her speech where she said she only used to watch this show in Manila--- what a roller coaster ride!
Sol, Girlie and me have more years to develop this friendship, just like Miss Salonga who did not become a star overnight--- yet because there is genuine talent, it naturally flourishes. So as with our friendship---the natural caring for each other is there but we know we need to put extra oommph if we want to have a deep and engaging friendship. As I always say, I need and want friends, not acquaintances. I have too many acquaintances than I could care for. Personally, I would rather spend the day just watching reruns of 24 with Sol or abusing the karaoke with Girlie than have a fancy 'dress" me up dinner with an acquaintance. ( Hmmm. I like that last line, I can actually write.) LOL.
So, off we go to NY city. We all prepared for this day because we said we would spare nothing to pamper ourselves this day--- silly us, we discussed to not even look at the menu prices, that we would order as if we do not have all care, that our credit cards are corporate sponsored. Girls can dream! I'll tell you a funny story. Girlie travels a lot because of her work. She flies back home on the weekends. Not having enough shopping time for this, she went to Ann Taylor, saw the mannequin on display and asked the sales associate to give her all that the mannequin has. The frazzled SA asked.: " Even the necklace?" Girlie said, yes... and the shoes and the bracelet, and and... She did not have time to think of her wardrobe so she figured it would look good seeing it looked good on display. Only Girlie can do that--- not checking the prices. Me? I am a fabulous bargain hunter! Really, I am. Anyways, Sol was the default driver just because we were bringing her car. I was the designated" non stop talking girl". Hey, that is essential in any trip, so the driver won't fall asleep and that the travel would go by fast. Needless to say, the trip to NY city went so fast. We had stories to tell and people to talk about. NOT! I'll let you in on a secret. Girlie graduated from the University of the Philippines, the premier learning institution of my beloved country while Sol is a graduate of Ateneo de Naga, another premier school. So, here I am with this scholarly ladies, we talk just about anything in the world, from Nelson Mandela to properly pronouncing Louboutin. Lo-bu-tahn.
We parked right beside the hotel. We arrived just a tad early. The Carlyle Hotel is a very iconic hotel --- meaning OLD and rustic and beautiful--- meaning--- very COMPACT- SMALL- CROWDED. Got the peechur yet? In any given day, I'd rather stay here than in mega big hotels. I l love places like these. I see grandeur in the old and rustic things, plus service is impeccable. The best thing though is people watching. But that's a different post altogether. Did I mention that parking in NY City can cost you an arm and a leg? Wha-at? Not an arm and a leg! More like my whole being - the whole size 14 me! But as I mentioned-- we are not considering cost here mah dear, we are going to see Miss Lea Salonga--- ONLY THE BEST.
It was a dinner show so we were seated an hour or so before showtime. The Carlyle only seats 90 for performances. If I may say so, the place is , shall I say-- shoulder-shoulder. But it made it more personal and charming. The food is okay and VERY expensive. I think the bottled water is about $10.00. Duh, Bernadette. Then comes Miss Lea Salonga. Suddenly the food is better and the bill is forgotten. She is a gem. I declare her Philippine national treasure. A true beauty. Is it obvious yet? I am a superfan. I like that--- superfan. I should adopt that title. Miss Salonga's superfan. The night is filled with her powerful voice and everyone was mesmerized with her performance level. I loved it, she combined classics and pop music so well you can forget all about all those non talent all hype artists.
It was my first time to tip the waiter and the head waiter. Is there such a thing? Whaddap? But I guess, that's how we roll. We PRETEND we are so used to tipping. NOT! But, I can tell you, I know between me and these two lovelies, there is no pretending. I can be myself as I can be. I can laugh until I snort with them, I eat fantabulously ( oh, yeah, that's a word) when around them and sing out of tune even in their presence. We are so different from each other, I love it! I am a laboratory scientist ( a fancy way of saying medical technologist, oh yeah!), Sol is an accountant and Girlie is a computer analyst. Wheew. But we share love of so many things. We love food, hell yah. We love books, we love to sing ( they are good singers, I am a good performer-- I claim performer award), we love traveling, we enjoy kids and we adore Lea Salonga. We laugh a lot, we like the same movies and we are all hopeless romantics, not to say we are very independent successful women. We know each other too well, we can finish each others sentences and laugh out loud without saying a word, and know we are laughing at the same thing---or person. I can be ignorant and not be shamed by it, I can tell them what I think and they know it is given with great consideration. They can tell me things I probably would not take well coming from a different person, but because it's them, I take it with love knowing they would not tell me if it is not true or not in my best interest.
So, the show ends in great encore. What a fabulous show! I loved the storyline of her songs telling stages of her life--- hence The Journey. I adored her way of injecting humor along the line. I love, I love, I love! Ev-ree-thang! But the friendship does not end. We will develop great stories of our lives and probably cry in between and laugh a lot--- yet we would love each other as real sisters. You know how they say you can sometimes find family in friends? I say, you can make your friends family, make your friends necessary family. In that way, you have woven your lives together, you are integral to each others success and failure. Knowing us, failure is not an option, we may fall but not fail. Every show has and encore--- whether it will get great reviews or rants will be noted in the following day reviews of the so called critics. But I heard nothing but spectacular review of Miss Salonga ( can this be considered a review?). I know I love these girls to bits and hopefully our friendship will not have an encore, but some breaks if it must. I also know that if I critique our friendship, it will all be spectacular.
I have bestfriends in different stages of my life. I have 2 in high school ( Angelita and Jennyrose), 3 in college---Beng, Allen and Elvie and in my working years, I have Jerome and Ricky. What makes Sol and HG different then? Because there is no reason for us to be together! We don't have to go to school together, we do not have to work together. It is plain obvious effort we put in to see each other. It is genuine love and sharing the same passion of friendship we have. We love to be friends. We want to be friends. We exert effort and develop a deeper meaning of what we see so much around now--- just casual friendship. We have real friendship, where there is no room for jealousy, competition and pretension.
We have more years to go, but here's to friendship and Miss Salonga--- The Journey need not be all roses , the important thing is you triumph along the way with our friends.

Spring Break--- Mystic CT
Well, hello there.
I am still here.
Alive.
That's a good thing.
I have not posted anything because I have been busy...
 |
| Unbelievable |
 |
| George W. Mason--- the last wooden whaleship in the world |
My boys sure did love playing "captains". They did not love me stopping their serious ship time. Story of my life. HAhahha.
It was Pirates Day when we visited so it was fun seeing the staff all dressed up like Tom Blue here. One thing I noted-- the staff we metwere all friendly and so accomodating.
Of course, that comment made me sad. No, made me guilty. It sure is something to remember.
I love looking at the tiny details of places I visit. I think it's what makes it interesting. If you note one of the photos above they still called it DRUGGISTS and CHEMISTS. I think in Europe up to now, they still call their pharmacists CHEMISTS/Druggists.
We visited the planetarium and although we have been to a lot of planetariums, the staff who was there made it the most exceptional. He sure knows what he is talking about and is a gifted teacher. There are a lot of intelligent scientists/professionals but it takes a special person to teach. He is very knowledgeable and if I must say--- the most patient. Thank you dear Sir...
We also visited The Dulton, also designated as a national landamrk and it's amazing to see the sleeping area. I can not believe how tiny the space is. It is indeed a difficult job, although ships and shipmen have always been romanticized in stories and poems, seeing the inside of this old ships do tell a different story.
So we learned and studied, but let me tell you--- we had so much fun too....
I have so many things to tell you but I need to sleep... I will leave you with this lovely photo taken by KC.
A vacation need not be grand. What matters is if it brings smiles and creates beautiful memories. This is what I try to achieve everytime. But I am lying if I tell you it's all fine and dandy in my family. With the 3 kids (12, 10, 8) it sure is chaotic and it takes a whole lot of balancing. But let me tell you this lovelies, aim for happy not perfect. Then it will be perfect. I promise. Guaranteed.

Spring break begins
Patriots' Day signals Spring break for Massachusetts public schools--- it's also the Boston Marathon-- the most prestigious marathon in the whole wide world. Oh yeah, oh yeah-- I live in the best state. Only Bay Staters have Patriots' Day and Boston Marathon. Yeebah!
Last year, I promised the kids I would be taking a break, so Mr. Hubbs and I took the week off from work. I have been working a whole lot recently so I was basically conked out last weekend. After working 2 shifts ( 3pm-7am) last Friday and working Saturday night, I made a hearty breakfast Sunday and we all headed to Palm Sunday service, after which we went to the mall to meet up with family friends. Do I need to tell you we were with Presidential Estate Llaga and Avalon Surwez? Ahhahhah. Yeah, I love some family and friends on Sundays. Makes for wonderful time.
Today, Patriots' Day, we decided to go to Arnold Arboretum. This is the first public arboretum of the USA. Side story--- KC asked me what is an arboretum and I said "Arnold Arboretum is kinda Central Park in NY--- Pherry ( my eldest)--the grumpy geek said-- NO, arboretum is NOT like Central Park, Arboretum is yadah yadah yadah and went on and gave a lecture why it is and is not like Central Park. We all just waited for him to FINISH. Yeah, that's what we do. Anyway, it's such a good feeling to walk in this place knowing that just outside the fence is a busy Boston parkway yet you are surrounded with beautiful flowers, trees and birds. On our way, I saw this beautiful tree.
One day, I'd like to just take a walk and see the beauty of New England--- picket fences and English tudor architecture, and of course well kept yard.
Too many peechurs, too many stories to tell.
Today is one of those days where we:
Run as we see Mama taking pictures. Nooo, we run to show Mama the lovely flowers we found.
One of those days where we turn our backs as soon as Mama attempts to take a picture. No... we don't.
Today is the day we pretend to read information than have Mama's information regarding how to look good on pictures. Sorry Mom.
Oh yes peeps. That's how I feel when I take photos of these wonderful kids. It is exhausting! But yeah I do love sneaking pictures here and there. They are so full of energy and creativity. So, eventhough I have those photos, I also have these....
Today is the day to give Mama those wonderful flowers as beautiful as her---JOSH.
Lest you forget, Boston is old money--- like this.
We have yet to have a pet in the family but I AM NOT RUSHING. These pets are so expensive and besides we get to "borrow" from time to time anyway.
So there, the beginning of our Spring break. It's a whole week peeps, so we will see how it goes. If I can post another blogpost, that's a good sign.

Today is one of those days where we:
Run as we see Mama taking pictures. Nooo, we run to show Mama the lovely flowers we found.
Today is one of those where we can just stare at the pond and skip stones. What water? It's cold Mom!
Today is a day to let Mama know it's time to stop being paparazzi for ONE minute. MOM!!
Today is the day to stay as far away as can be from Mama so she can't take a nice picture. SCORE!
Today is one of those where we go up the hill not to see what's on the other side ( squirrels) but to stay away from Mamarazzi.
Today is one of those days we'd rather roll down the hills than see Mama on the way down with her camera pointed right ON your face. Na-ah.
Today is the day we'd rather carry our sweet but seldom annoying brother than have my face on Mama's camera. Yeah, we prefer that Mama. Ooops.
Today is the day we'd rather hand the flowers to Mama to hide our faces. It works. Aha!
Today is the day we pretend to appreciate the flowers while maintaining some distance towards the annoying sibling of the moment than have Mama's camera right on our FACES. Puh-leeze Mama.
Today is the day we actually love jumping on branches--- makes for a good reason not to stay put and pose for Mama.
Today is the day to let Mama appreciate the beautiful flowers and not just "my beautiful children". Yeah, Mom we know.
Todais one of those where we pretend to fix our shoe straps than follow Mama down the pond because it really looks good for photograph background. Everything is a nice background for you Mom.
Oh yes peeps. That's how I feel when I take photos of these wonderful kids. It is exhausting! But yeah I do love sneaking pictures here and there. They are so full of energy and creativity. So, eventhough I have those photos, I also have these....
Today is the day to give Mama those wonderful flowers as beautiful as her---JOSH.
Thanks for those Magnolias Josh.
Today is the day to stay put and give Mama that nice shot, so she can frame it or show it off to her FB friends--- Pherry.
Don't you look adorable?
Today is the day to play nice so Mama can let us play until we want to stop. Nice=let her take pics.
Oh... my boys can actually play together? Love!
Today is the day we flash our most wonderful smiles to Mama, after all she pays so much for those darn dentists.
There you go. Little darlings aren't they? If only you know how much bribing I need to do. Ha! You know, I love taking nature walks especially with the kids. I love seeing these--- well, aside from seeing my besautiful kids--- kids would be embarrased if they hear me talking like this. Actually, they ask me first, FB or blog pic? Ahahahha.
Lest you forget, Boston is old money--- like this.
Mink anf fur for dog walking, anyone?
I love seeing this too. Makes me go get Mr. Hubbs who's sitting IN the CAR. Oh, yeah.
I know I'm a hopeless romantic. Whatchasaying? I'm dreaming? Well, a girl can dream to have a sweet and expressive husband, right?
What about this lovely scene?
We have yet to have a pet in the family but I AM NOT RUSHING. These pets are so expensive and besides we get to "borrow" from time to time anyway.
So there, the beginning of our Spring break. It's a whole week peeps, so we will see how it goes. If I can post another blogpost, that's a good sign.
