The Date

Ahmanson Theatre, LA

We weren't able to go out during my birthday because it was a work day and we missed the musicale at Buell Theatre this year (my supposedly earlier birthday celebration just like last year's), because I wasn't too well to be leaving the baby with someone else. So, we planned to have it in LA instead since we were hoping to attend Dale's christening. Plus, Filay would be a lovely baby sitter *wink*.

My Date

Little did I know, my date had already made plans. Although he wasn't able to get tickets to his original surprise (he's still not telling me), he was able to get us in The South Pacific. He chose the restaurant where we had our dinner before the show. I was a happy camper, no clue to where we were headed. I was expecting we'd go to the mall, catch a movie, and some food at a cafe. After the christening, I planned to change into more comfortable clothes like shirt and jeans but he didn't want me to... because...

The dinner was quite fancy for the two of us. I didn't want to order an entree that would cost as much as our usual family dinner out. But, it was our date! Well.... hehehe!!! We ate at Ciudad, the facade was not spectacular, it was at located in one of the commercial buildings in Downtown LA. There was a bar at the front and al fresco dining too, but as you go inside you see art deco and abstract doodles similar to that of Joan Miro. The service was superb and the food was great! Oh yum!

And then we drove to the theatre, he had to make sure the restaurant was just close by. He scheduled everything! I was so happy, still happy... that I didn't have to think that day. If you must know, it took him awhile to re-arrange his planned schedule since the other show (mag kisi kisi kuno ko ato, so he's still not telling) was fully booked that night.

The South Pacific did not disappoint, it was funny, sweet, romantic, and realistic.

"Happy talk, keep talking happy talk

Talk about things you like to do

You got to have a dream, if you don't have a dream

How you gonna have a dream come true?"

Here's wishing for monthsarries in the years to come... and more surprises *wink, wink*
