London calling -- the Ruby way =)

So, here's a rough guide of what I did here in my stay in London =)

May 31, Saturday -- landed in Dubai. Of course I can't stop myself from buying something from Duty Free. Saw some movies in the plane on the way here. I <3 being in business class =)

June 1, Sunday -- just landed around 8am London time [3pm Manila time]. Went to the apartment, freshened up, cooked lunch for the first time ever then off to North Greenwich with Irah to see the O2 arena, David Beckham Academy, and some park... I'll post where that is if I can find the pics.
Irah wanted to go to Greenwich but I had to leave to go to Wembley Arena, where I booked tickets to see Boyzone. I got 6th row, front block so it was awesome and I was really lucky to get those tickets. Imagine, it's my first day in London and I'm off exploring the outskirts of the city alone just for the love of this band. lol. Anyway, got to Wembley arena at around 530, picked up my tickets and waited an hour to be ushered inside. err.. i hate waiting. But then again i found myself spending some time at the merchandise booth which ate a lot of my allowance for the day.

June 2 -- work. Got lost on my way to work. LOL =)

June 7, Saturday, went to Hampton Court Palace in the morning for sightseeing and Oxford Circle/Leicester Square in the afternoon for some shopping.

Will update soon =)

ENGLAND!!!

I love this country =)

I haven't blogged in a while.

For my friends who still don't know, I am in London.

Yes, my childhood dream finally came true.

Pretty soon I'll post some photos & a blog of what I've been up to. [Wonder when that'll happen]

So for those who texted/tried to call me and I wasn't able to reply, sorry, it's expensive to reply -- but I do get your messages =)

Not quite Take That but close enough.

Last night, I went and saw a musical [again], entitled "Never Forget"

It was based on the songs of Take That

I paid for a ticket for a balcony seat and they gave me a stall seat -- meaning, i was 6 rows in front of the stage. I paid half price for that ticket. Yay.

The guy who played Dirty Harry was gorgeous.

Worth my money, definitely -- stage was nice, songs were nice, gorgeous boys.

What more could I say?

Next musical I plan to hit is "We Will Rock You" or "Lord of the Rings"

Let it never be said that romance is dead
'Cos there's so little else occupying my head
There is nothing I need 'cept the function to breathe
But I'm not really fussed, doesn't matter to me

[chorus:]
Ruby, ruby, ruby, ruby
Do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya
Know what ya doing, doing to me?
Ruby, ruby, ruby, ruby

Due to lack of interest tomorrow is cancelled
Let the clocks be reset and the pendulums held
'Cos there's nothing at all 'cept the space in between
Finding out what you're called and repeating your name

[chorus]

Could it be, could it be, that you're joking with me
And you don't really see you with me
Could it be, could it be, that you're joking with me
And you don't really see you with me

[chorus]

Do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya
What ya doing, doing to me?
