(1464) MUSIC AND ME (Oct. 12, 2017) 2007--MY FIRST NEW YEAR'S EVE COUNTDOWN PERFORMANCE AT PRR

My partner in the 2007 New Year's eve Countdown at the Waves Restaurant is a Filipino lady singer working at one of the bars along Malakal. When we are practicing the song "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me", I have goosebumps and I told her, "Very rarely that I have goosebumps when somebody is singing. It's just a sign that you really sing with expression."

Our GM Isao Takahashi, middle-wearing Hawaiian shirt, knew my singer and where she works.

I don't remember her name, the Filipino lady singer.

Left to right, standing: Roberto Hernandez, GM Isao Takahashi, Masaki Horie, Mr. Bephu, Allan Tuppil, Jenny Salazar, Edgar Cayanan. Squatting (L-R) Ms. Sunny Matsui, Darwin Nisperos and Josephine Amutan.
