Here he is. He would look more mysterious in the dark.
Luneta is best experienced at night, with all the lights and the cool breeze from the bay. What's also good about "Our Haven" is that Lord Lapu-Lapu doesn't mind some vices like smoking in his presence, so you get the picture.But what I love about our pilgrimage is being with my Isabelan friends. It's good to release body tensions with schoolmates, no matter how weird we individually are. We would bring out our violins and play, chat about rumors in and out of the school (sometimes our secrets), and sometimes taking chances on maggots in taho from vendors in the dark. We had a friend whom we thought was vomiting, jokingly suspicious of pregnancy, only to find out that she bit a maggot from the taho that we bought. By that time, I had fully ingested mine.
I knew long ago that music is the most honest profession, and that musicians are true to their craft and to themselves.
Despite my hectic schedule - office work from Mondays to Fridays and music classes and rehearsals on Saturdays - at the end of the week, I, together with my Isabelan family, find peace in the shelter of Lapu-Lapu while the rest of humanity spend their time elsewhere.
So you know where to find me on my Sabado nights.
