Not that I have much left to say anyway but for now, I guess this is the end.

west end live
West End Live is an annual event showcasing the best entertainment West End has to offer. Because Leicester Square is currently undergoing a face-lift, this year it is being held in Trafalgar Square. I heard about this on the radio and since I'm not working today, I went. After all it's free! But it's not just about songs and dances because aside from musical performances, there are exhibits from The Science Museum, the London Film Museum, Ripley's Believe It or Not, the National Gallery and more.
A picture paints a thousand words, daw. Kaya, I'll just let these photos do the talking.
At least 10,000 people witnessed today's event.
Even Crazy Frog was there.
And Jack Sparrow.
Where's Waldo?
Apparently, Free Run has 15 Guiness World Records. Members of the group take on parkour, stunts and martial arts.
Defying Gravity at 1120.
Phantom 2.0
I wonder if this is as "bad" as the movie?
Billy Elliott
Lend Me a Tenor is a new Musical Comedy that opened just last week.
Betty Blue Eyes is about a pig with, you guess it, blue eyes. The musical is a Cameron Mackintosh production.
Velma and Roxie.
The cast literally rocked the crowd. I hope to see this show soon.
Dark clouds mean ...
Mother. . . RainAmazingly, everybody stayed where they were.
The Jersey Boys singing in the rain. Great performance.
The music of Abba.
Thriller Live is a show celebrating the career of the King of Pop - Michael Jackson.

Didn't enjoy this act so much. The American humor seemed lost.
Seriously?!? I really didn't get this.
Hope to see this one soon, too. A movie starring Tom Cruise is actually in the works.
The London production stars Shane Ward - winner of X-Factor.
Vintage Batmobile.
And if you needed reminding, the Olympics is coming to London real soon.Friday, June 10, 2011

A380
I only want simple things in life. A friend told me once I am quite easy to please. Perhaps. But to be honest I just know what I want and when I have it, I am happy.
The A380 is the world's largest commercial aircraft. It's a double-deck, wide-body, four-engine airliner that provides seating for 525 people in a typical three-class configuration or up to 853 people in all- economy configurations. I was lucky to fly in it from London to Singapore via Singapore Airlines.
The plane is massive. I can't imagine this getting filled. In fact, our flight was only about 50% full. View of the cattle class.

I had the whole row to myself! Managed to lie down, it felt like I was in first-class. Not! hehehe.
Singapore Airlines has one of the best entertainment programs. Saw 5 movies in total whilst on this flight. A quick look at the monitor and we were flying over Romania.
Call me strange but I actually like airline food. Singapore Air's food selection was really good. The first course was Indian Prawn Curry.
We were served snacks in between. Roasted peanuts and pineapple juice. FYI, this was my first orange juice in more than two years.
Ham and Egg sandwich with crisps. That was actually my favorite flavour until I tried the flame grilled steak crisps (also from McCoys) the other day. Sarap!
A couple of hours before landing and we were served one last meal. Stir-fried beef and Singapore noodles.
Half a check off my bucket list. When I ride the largest ship in the world, it'll be a full check.

Personally, I much prefer music from the 60's and the 70's. I remember my Tatay playing his records on full blast to get me and my siblings up and out of bed for school. The Beach Boys, The Beatles, the Carpenters, Abba, Elvis and some of the artists of Motown served as our alarm clock each morning. Their incredible songs were a great start to my day. Eventually, I got acquainted to Johnny Cash, The Who, Billy Joel, Elton John and other amazing artists from that era.
Which is why I don't really know much about today's music. Most of the artists now, I don't get. I even asked Ketty, "Why is everyone gaga over Gaga?". But this is not a critique on contemporary sound. You see, I don't even have a radio in my flat. Never had one since I moved to the UK and I've stopped watching MTV for almost a decade now. Everything changed when I started my not-so-new-job in London. They play FM in the office. And now, I know the Top 40.
There's one particular song that caught my ear at the moment. The funny thing is, this tune ain't exactly new. I learned today it was released in November last year. Anyway, Grenade by Bruno Mars is one heck of a song. Full of melancholic melody and its lyrics brimming with angst and despondency, the song is brilliantly composed. And to make it even more hauntingly poignant, the half-Pinoy(!) kills it with stunning vocals.
