Just a couple of things to chat about today. Went to see the Patron Saint Of Pinoy Performers, Lea Salonga. She was performing in Washington D. C. this past weekend in the same theatre that we performed Saigon in. Of course, we all must show our respect and give our props to one of our motherland's trailblazers. But in several videotaped concerts of hers that I've seen, she always come across as awkward and a tad bit on the corny side. Not to mention a tad bit too prideful of her Filipino heritage. Not so this weekend. She was absolutely charming, sounded AMAZING, and was very professional and polished. Perhaps married life has chilled her out a bit. Kudos!
This blog entry is being transmitted via my laptop computer, currently stationed at Starbucks at 47th and 9th. I find it kind of ridiculous that one can find a Starbucks at 47th and 8th as well as 47th and Broadway- 3 adjacent streets. A bit of overkill for a place that doesn't even serve great coffee (Dunkin Donuts is SO much better). But I must admit my summer drink of 2005 is their green tea frappuccino- yum!
Seeing a supposedly bad production of Merrily We Roll Along this evening. I love Sondheim so how bad can it be? And I'm not paying for it so I'll naturally be more forgiving. Isn't it funny how when things are free, things aren't so bad, but when we have to pay full price for something, we expect the world.

Did you know the Coldstone Creamery in Hawaii serves Wasabi Ginger ice cream? I wonder if that's true for other Coldstones. That has nothing to do with Starbucks except that the Starbucks near me is next to a Coldstone's.
they also have it here in NYC. it tastes like the real thing which is scary. Chinatown icecream factory also has a wasabi.
