Mamma Mia!!!


My girlfriends (Grace, Cielo, and Wendy) from work and I went out to see Mamma Mia, the musical inspired by Abba. This must be the most fun musical I have ever watched. Listening to Abba songs always remind me of my Uncle Eddie in the Philippines who introduced me to the group by recording their songs to a tape when I was about six. I remember listening to the tape and singing along to the music. Dancing Queen always cheered me up.

I own the soundtrack of the musical and I must say that seeing the musical in person is 100 times better. The voices of the actors from this production tour are way better than those of the original London cast. Besides, the soundtrack does not have all the songs. The plot may not be so engrossing, but I admire how the Abba songs were put together to make a story.

Field Museum trip

I went to the Field Museum a few weeks ago to check out the Jackie Kennedy exhibit. I am a fan of her classic fashion style. Too bad it was not allowed to take photos of the exhibit. I love this mint green gown she wore and her coats were so elegant. I swear I was born in the wrong era.

Since I couldn't take pictures of Jackie's clothes. I just took pictures of the elephants and the dinasaur on the main floor of the museum. I love those elephants. :)

I like how the lighting made this picture look eerie. The woman looked scared, too.

Indianapolis

I tagged along with Vince to go to Indianapolis for a job interview. Coming from Chicago, I'd say Indianapolis is a nice breath of fresh air...smaller, less crowded, less traffic, nicer people. Honestly, I wouldn't mind moving there if ever Vince got the job. Although, I have a few concerns. One is that where is Chinatown??? Virgil (Vince's and my friend who told Vince about the job), said it's three hours away. He was referring to the Chinatown here in Chicago. Second are there are Filipinos here.? Virgil said, "quite a few. In fact, I have gone to a Filipino party." Third is that, where are the malls? Uhmmm, there's the downtown shopping mall. Ok, I guess I wouldn't mind moving to Indianapolis.
