We welcomed the year of the ox at Gang's new place in Ortigas which is luckily a few meters away from NU, and walking distance to galleria. She had a housewarming party that served breakfast food all evening (steamed rice, platters of bacon and ham, a large pan of quiche, and brewed coffee) plus wine and coffee ice cream. Although the party officially started at 3PM (Gang had to leave for an hour for the radio show), we got there late at 11PM because we came from a maternity shoot. Most of team lestat and the other guests were gone by this time, and the only people we caught were Jay, PJ, Kidlat, Lisa, Nuch, Bahag and Paolo. We all shared the same experience: taking the elevator all the way up to her floor, getting out into a "rough" foyer, seriously doubting we got the wrong address, going around the still-in-construction-floor, hearing the music and laughter from one particular door, and hesitantly ringing the doorbell.
It turns out that her nearest neighbor was seven floors down. She is the only one occupying her floor, and because she moved in, the building developers had to cover a good part of the ceiling in her floor, construct the wood panel in the elevator foyer, and white wash the other walls. There were still cans of paints in some corners and doors that supposedly opened to other units, opened to a bare expanse of open-air area. (Good place for a photoshoot, though. hehehe.)
The party was lots of fun, and it was a good lunar year salubong. It's nice to catch up. And Nuch gave us a piece of trivia: did you know that Ricky Gervais was the lead vocalist of Seona Dancing of the More To Lose fame? (Googled and searched it on YouTube and it's true!! He looked so androgynous when he was thin!)
