summer caravan @ the rose bowl

[the date july 16 is particularly memorable to me. rewind 15 years ago. july 16, 1990. goodness, i am getting old. it was during this day in 1990 when the killer quake happened. i lost a good friend from that tragedy.]

it was a long day today. after an early dimsum lunch with some friends, we proceeded to the rose bowl in pasadena to check out the events at the abs-cbn/tfc kapamilya summer caravan. some of our friends were already there.


the sun was so unforgiving, i think temperature soared to at least a hundred.

anyway, the show was fun. it was almost a three-and-a-half hour concert and the audience was so pleased. what more could you ask for? martin and gary were there. and so were kuh and zsa zsa. lea salonga was a guest. so was jasmine trias. need i mention nora aunor? i guess not. and some other stars and wanna-be stars. (review and photos to follow!)

had late dinner at gingergrass where i had banh mi (the french-inspired vietnamese sandwich). it was uhm, uhm good. this day was so tiring.
