Rendezvous with My Favorite Rock Star

Back from jalan-jalan. Finally Sampaguita was able to travel from her home in the south to Araneta Center because she has a rehearsal today for a concert that will be held tomorrow, an auspicious day because it is the Festival of Lanterns, at Araneta Coliseum. We had coffee and exchanged gifts at the Cubao Leaky Cauldron.

During the short span of time that we were together I was very amazed to discover many wonderful things about Sampaguita that I never knew before--that she was born in Indonesia and cooks great Indonesian food, that she is a proactively practicing interior decorator, and that she makes oil paintings. An art exchange is in the offing.

Also met her equally wonderful daughter Crista, who is an antique dealer.

Yes, definitely my kind of people.
