Christmas Log
Happy Christmas!!!
December 23
Most of my colleagues have returned to Manila by then. Ton, Joey (Ton's wife), Chu and I watched Les Miserables. It was the first time that I watched from the upper section.
The musical was okay. Oddly enough, I didn't enjoy it as much as The Phantom of the Opera and The Lion King. But it was still okay. Maybe the because I liked the sets of the two musicals better.
The actors who played Jean Valjean and Javert did great. Of course, Eponine's performance was expected. She was simply magnificent.
After the show, we went to Oxford Street so I could look for a good PSP deal. At the time. I didn't buy one.
December 24
I stayed a while at Chu's place to write greeting cards and made some phone calls to friends and my family until 4 AM. She baked some brownies to leave for Ton, Joey and me.
Aftwerwards, Chu and I went to Westminster Cathedral by noon to attend Mass. I love this Cathedral. And it's my current favorite church.
Chu left for Cambridge and I rushed to Curry's Digital to buy a PSP base pack and a 1GB memory stick. I then went to Game and bought FIFA 07 and a PSP case. I spent around 220 pounds for PSP. Expensive, yes. But worth it.
Ton and Joey arrived around 4:30 pm. We all went to Sainsbury's to buy some grocery items for the noche buena. Joey cooked for us and she made spaghetti and fried chicken. We also bought pizza.
While Ton and I were waiting for dinner, we played PSP alternately. I did some adjusting to the console and gameplay since I play FIFA using PS2, but I got the hang of it.
December 25
We ate noche buena and played PSP. Around noontime, we ate lunch and went around London on foot. There were no buses or underground trains. We visited St. Paul's Cathedral, Millenium Bridge, Clink Prison, (I bet only the three of us know this place. My other colleagues wouldn't know.) and London Bridge. We even visited the building where Basic Instinct 2 was filmed. Near that building was another building which had an industrial design - which was just awesome. It was grey and looked like metal all over with steel pipings.

Boxing Day. I stayed home to do some chores. I didn't want to go out because of the massive sale at Oxford. Too tempting for me.
