3rd Annual Civic-Volvo Golf Tournament, November 29

After a month of no troupe gigs, here we are again, on our way to the farthest gig we've been to in Luzon. We all met up at Starbucks Provost at 7:30 am to meet the event organizers in Starbucks Shangrila Mall (puro Starbucks!). They then brought us to the Volvo office in Timog where our ride was going to Bulacan. Whew.

ETC/Jack TV Boracay Summer Shindig (April 28, 2006)

The gang got booked for a show for Solar Entertainment cable channels ETC and Jack TV at Plazoleta in Boracay. Some of the girls flew to the island a day before the show, while me and Justine had to fly only few hours before the show because of prior commitments.

The pre-show standard pose. The show called for a "beach" atmosphere middle-eastern look, which explains the bikini tops paired with the dance skirts.
