London!

London is so beautiful and fascinating and is such a charming place – hirap i-describe in words… you’ve got to see it to love it.

I wish I can freeze the moment I was in:

-St Paul’s cathedral – breathtaking interiors – when I looked up on the ceiling, I was speechless. I wish I can get married in this cathedral, so I told andy (our pseudo-tourist guide). no pics allowed inside so sa labas na lang.

-Big Ben and house of parliament – never fails to mesmerize. I couldn’t stop looking at it. I’m no architect/ engineer pero sobrang nakakabilib ang exteriors ng building – they were beautifully mounted – even the littlest of the details.

-British museum, national gallery, and national history museum – every museum has something in store for one – I thought after hopping into the second or third museum, I’d get tired of looking but I was wrong. Since no pics were allowed in the national gallery, I had to stop and freeze them in my memory. Hmmm goodluck if it works. I especially liked Van Gogh’s….

-les miz! Theatre/ plays especially west end is a must in London and Im so happy ha, agreed to join me on Friday night. Wow. Such wonderful voices, intense drama and amazing theatrical setting…

Anyways, my London trip will never be this special if not without ha, my partner in crime, andy, vince and carrie, whose company I enjoyed so much coz save for andy, first time namin lahat to go there. My office colleagues certainly were warm so that made life easier, especially during the ‘less exciting’ times hehehe.

I won’t forget the tube – how easy and convenient it was to go around with it. But I will forever be shocked by how expensive everything is – a tube ticket was 5.9GBP or about 500 pesos. I will always be terrified with their huge ala carte servings but will always be awed by how they walk all day and never get tired. Wish I had the appetite for both hahaha!

Ultimately, I wish I was with family or friends or jo to share this with. Happiness talaga is meant to be shared…multiplied more precisely! J
