Come Fly With Me.....

I have been in London for almost 2 years now and I still haven't seen a musical or anything theatrical. How sad is that! But really, I don't know which one I would like to see. I don't wanna spend £40 and end up falling asleep haha!



I have been seeing Ol Blue Eyes in Argyll St which is near my classes and I must admit, I am quite tempted. Not because I am a Sinatra fan. God knows I was tormented as a child with my dad over playing his music! haha! But perhaps that is why I want to see it, cause its close to home.


I think I am going to have to tempt my dad to come down to London so I have an excuse to go see it ;) haha!

Every country seems to have different ways of celebrating Easter. In the Phils, I remember it being THE most boring time of the year. Everything on TV would be about the passion of Christ or the TV stations would be off the air. It would always be the hottest time of the year. So days would be spent cooped up in the air-con room or in the rare occasion, the neighbors pool. But even so, it was a no no to swim during easter. Never got that when I'M NOT CATHOLIC!

Anyway in London, it seems to be the time people go away on long weekend get away to somewhere in Europe. That or a long ass D.I.Y weekend. Most of the adverts advertising specials for that D.I.Y weekend. In other countries, I suppose they would spend Easter painting Easter eggs.

In Croatia, they spend Easter painting something other than Easter eggs. Haha! In my visit to Zagreb last October, my brother's girlfriend Iva had pointed out this naked guy who had his balls painted. Hahaha! She explained to me that every Easter they would paint it a different colour. On the phone with my brother yesterday (who is in Croatia), and I reminded him of this tradition that is done over there.




To Manila, Zagreb, and Stockholm Happy Easter from the crazy woman in London :P
