First Time at Solaire Resort and Casino, Entertainment City

I found out about the newly-opened Solaire Resort and Casino at Entertainment City through the Instagram updates of several of my blogger friends. I got curious of the nice pictures they posted so I asked the hubby if we could go there one time. It seemed he was also interested in the idea because the day after, he told me we’d check out the place and probably play in the casino Friday night. Cool.

And so last Friday night on our way home to Bacoor, we dropped by at this world-class integrated resort complex just to know what the fuss was all about. Traffic was light at past 10pm so after around 20 minutes, we got to the place and parked our car inside the parking building that lets you park for free as a courtesy of Solaire to their guests.

Rock Stars Rock

My brother’s outfit today is inspired by a rock star. He went to work this morning wearing all black with matching skull accessories for a fierce look. All that’s missing is a new epiphone dot and he could pass as member of a rock band. My brother is a teacher and because classes have been over recently (at least in their school), he’s now finishing the grades of his students wearing civilian clothes.

Speaking of rock bands, I really admire the way they express themselves through their clothing and the intense energy they have when performing on stage. Those electric guitars and other musical paraphernalia they use speak a lot about their freedom of expression and distinct individuality.

A New Cable Subscription

With the arrival of their new TV, my brother’s next plan is to get a cable subscription. He already has a choice in mind — Destiny Cable. It’s the same cable that the hubby’s family here in Manila has at their home. It charges P500 a month, quite affordable methinks.

As for the installation fees, I think my brother has to shell out P1,500 but that would already cover the first three months of usage. Good deal, isn’t it? It’s like enjoying a buy 1 take 1 promo or finding discount permanent magnets online. But I digress.

A Night of Rock ‘N Roll

Last night, we finally got to watch the premiere of the hit Broadway musical Rock of Ages. As expected, we were very pleased with the show. It was hilarious and very musically-entertaining. I was with the hubby, my youngest sister O and my SIL A. We all agreed that it was one of the best musicals we’ve seen so far.

We were also happy that we were able to get our pictures taken with the lead stars of the musical (MiG Ayesa, Vina Morales and Nyoy Volante) after the show. We waited for them at the entrance to come out and they were nice enough to grant our small request. Cool.
