Lately i've been wondering around a mall somewhere in the Metro and here's what i bumped into; a work of some of our local artists displayed in the Art Center (click here).

Duets

Friday nights are the best night. Thanks to Mr. Diaz for the very informative site awesomeplanet; I have been informed of this theatrical play "Duets". Duets of Repertory Philippines is four vignettes performed by two actors that explores the lighter side of romance and relationships. Though doubt clouded me when I saw the crowd entering the theater (most of them are on there 30's and are couples), i didn't get any disappointment at the end of the show.
Me and Dale keeps on laughing to our hearts content on the full duration of the play. We become unmindful of how hard and loud our laugh is. Blame it to the plots humor and the people on our back who at the same time are throwing a full load of laughter to the performers.

If you happened to experience the show, you'll definitely know why they deserved the good reviews from the viewers, especially for the last scene which is my favorite of all the four act. The last one is I think the most humorous plus the one of all four that received the loudest clap from the viewers. Maybe that's why it is the one served as the finale; the best is served last.
I was just a bit sad that i wasn't able to take some pictures due to the strict theater security. But i have gathered some from sources.
Angela is about to marry for the third time and brother Toby hates the dress, the groom, the party and only wants the best for her—really.




Shelley and Bobby are divorcing on a holiday in Boracay but drunk on emotion.

Barrie is gay and Janet wishes he wasn’t.
Leaving w/ no trace of disappointment, the show gathered a good rating from me. It run for 2.5 hours and it left us all with an empty stomach. Well maybe because we already have burned our calories stretching our mouth.

We pulled our feet to Pepper Lunch to have our dinner. It was Dale's choice but sorry it was already closed by that time. A bit disappointed we walked straight the corner and ended to California Pizza Kitchen and heres what we got ☺☺☺:

Penne with slices of grilled spicy Italian sausage, mild onions, red and yellow peppers and Parmesan cheese in CPK's own Marinara sauce Thinly pounded chicken breast, lightly breaded and sauteed, topped with fresh arugula, shaved Parmesan cheese and combination of tomatoes, basil, garlic, and extra virgin olive oil
Fresh mushrooms, pepperoni, sweet Italian sausage, Mozzarella cheese and CPK tomato sauce



At the end of the the day i was asked if i enjoyed it. I said "Well...Good show, good food and good company... and then i SMILE☺. Next Friday?
