Mr. sun in the bay..

We are both music lovers (is that right baby?);p I love acoustics and I guess she love it too.. still during college days, I performed as a solo guitarist/"songer" in Beer Garden in Puerta del Parian few steps from our school..

(i dont know the people above but this is the only pix i could grab from the net :c )

Loving acoustics, we searched for a place where we can chill out, watch the sunset, breath some fresh air, be away from the school crowd andpeople that we know then, listen to the strings of guitars,watch the band play and request our favorite songs, eat things that we haven't tried yet and drink some beer just for us to be able to sleep when we separate ways and go home.. Finally, we found a place..a place what we exactly want and that was in Panay Kalipay open Bar and Restaurant,Baywalk, Manila..

Baywalk





Panay Kalipay







We hang out here everytime we get our allowance in school (ehem, we are both student assistants in our school!). There was this one time that Alamid performed in Panay Kalipay. I couldn't help myself imagine performing with them on stage but I was too shy to ask them that. So, Ruth wrote something in a piece of tissue and gave it to the waiter. I thought it was just a simple request to play a song she wanted to hear but damn! It was not! She wrote down there, "Can I jam with you? - pearl" I felt butterflies in my stomach at that time and felt that I'm melting. In shallow confindence, I went up the stage and grab the guitar and started playing "I'll Be" by Edwin Mcain.

You dont need much money to go to the bay, U can go there and unwind with just penny in your pocket,you can buy food in 7-11 beside Malate Church,sit beside the break water,smoke your lungs out and wait until the "Mr. Sun" is set. When the sun is finally set, that means bands are ready to play and entertain people chillin out and even people who is just passing by.

The joy of being with your love one is not always having lots of money to spend, its how you cherish each moment beside each other. :)

FYI: Baywalk bars are no longer existing since Manila Mayor Lito Atienza lost in 2004 local elections,but you can still hang out at resto and bar in Sea side @ MOA. It has same concept but Baywalk is still the best :) Baywalk along Roxas Blvd. are good in the morning and when the sun is set to jog,walk and breathe some fresh air.
