Two teams each week will showcase their creativity and skills fireworks on a synchronized musical scores. I was with my friends when we attended the event on the last night. We were there before 17:00 for us to be able to get a great spot. It was the last night and expect it's crowded.

Italy displayed their spectacular fireworks display. Other participating countries who performed earlier were South Korea and Malta, United Kingdom and Spain, Finland and Portugal, China and Netherlands, Australia and Canada.

The Philippines, as always a crowd favorite, though not an official competitor impressed thousand of viewers. There was technical problem happened during the presentation but it was continued after few minutes. What I did not forget, was the moment when most of the people were silent and song of the late Whitney Houston "I Will Always Love You" was played while the presentation was going on. I really had my goose bumps at that moment.

Eventually, winners were announced after the presentation of the Philippines. First place: Canada. Second Place: Australia and Finland. Third Place: Netherlands. It was a spectacular show indeed!

Marquee Mall: Angeles City, Pampanga

Marquee Mall, is Ayala's first foray in Central Luzon. I never thought of visiting this mall in my life and was just passing by every time I hit the road going up north. Gladly I've got my friends who lives in Angeles City where Marque Mall is situated and there I got the chance.

My friends invited me to watch a movie with them in Angeles City and I was lucky enough because it was scheduled on my free day. I visited them one weekend to watch the movie "Unofficially Yours" (is was Saturday). Though they've got work during weekends, they decided to leave earlier. Once arrived at the mall, we bought our tickets! We got it an hour before the next show so we decided to feed our tummies first before going back for the cinema. 

We headed to Brothers Burger. So yummy roasted beef burgers. We enjoyed chatting. Enjoyed the food at a discounted price. Yeah, at a discounted price because we were able to get it during the period wherein there's price off. Lucky enough to save some bills.

We watched the movie after being fulled. It was a great movie! After which, we headed to a coffee shop! We had it as our dinner. Donuts and coffee. Funny enough, their boss called Odi for business talk (panira ng oras) LOL! We talked about business and all about their funny stuffs at work. Being with them for a movie date is great. At least once in a while I go out of town to visit them.

Wish I can chill with them again so soon... Missing as well this funny friends of mine.
