Dining with the stars

the day before yesterday, we went to marco hotel to celebrate a certain birthday party. we, including a number of family friends, would stay there overnight. it was okay though, not really that boring.

i had no one to interact with, for all the other kids were younger than i am. and so, they went swimming. i am a swimmer, and almost everyday i get to swim. i have grown tired of water. so naturally, i didnt swim. for i already had enough swimming to last a lifetime.

so while the children were swimming and the adults were drinking, talking and laughing their hearts out, i didnt involve myself in such dire activities. i sought peace in a secluded corner and played computer til i couldnt play anymore.

after playing, i watched the television. it was now late so the children were playing rather than swimming. but the adults didnt cease their rhapsody of fun, so i continued watching the television with occasional disturbances.

after being bored by the shows in the tv, i grabbed a couple of dvds and watched in a computer. it was nearly 3 in the morning so i decided to sleep, though the others didnt share my liking for a warm, cozy bed. instead they continued their pursuits of whatever that made them happy.

i woke up considerably early, 8am sharp. the fun had somewhat subsided and everyone was exhausted, perhaps because of lack of sleep and rest. everyone, that is, except for me. so we went down to the restaurant for our breakfast and we werent the only ones there, of course. there was one family halfway into their breakfast and a group of young men, probably mid-20's, in another table. we sat in the table next to them. at the end of the food table, their was a chef wherein you could ask im to cook your eggs, lol. hahaha. and i was behind this guy who was with the young men, he noticed me and let me cut in line in front of him. naturally, i agreed.

after eating my exquisitely delicious breakfast, i glanced in the next table to get a good look of the young men. they obviously just woke up; their eyes baggy, hair messy and ruffled, they look like they were sleep walking. but there was something strange about them. they look familiar but i just couldnt tell who they were. so they left and asked the waiter.

nothing could have prepared me to what i was going to hear...

Hale and kamikazee. its a wonder why you didnt asked for their autograph, you dont know them! hahaha

do mine ears deceive me? i wasnt quite sure what i have just heard. the men who were sitting near us were from famous rock bands. sweet mother of god. we took pictures on our table and stuff but all of us didnt notice two of the most famoust rock bands in the philippines dined near us. lol, it was quite an achievement. then the commotion started. the entire dining hall was talking. talking of what just happened, of who just ate there, of who they utterly and boldly ignored. i wasnt a fan of them though, i just felt stupid that i lost an opportunity like this one. it was within my reach, and still i lost it.

i wouldnt ask for their autographs, lol. if they would ask me to name just one song of theirs, i wouldnt be able to give an asnwer :D
