UPDATE: Wildflower

We did it. Yeah. :)

It wasn't a seamless process however. There was a delay of almost two hours due to heavy traffic. There was a change of location because it was already after regular office hours -- from the small Hawkers Management office to the open air Manila City Hall garden. Luckily, they have been having OT tasks this month, which gave us a significant leeway to catch up on the last-minute hitches. Pulling the whole thing off had become much more taxing in some way. But when the first song started, I instantly knew that it would be a smash hit.

My buddy and I were hiding at the back, behind the huge sliding glass window. We were like stalkers, trying to get a partial view of the whole show. I wasn't able to pick up the song very clearly, but I realized that Nay was crying. [Giselle informed us soon after that the group first played Beautiful in My Eyes, followed by Wildflower; and concluded with Moonriver (which Gabi also enjoyed as she sat on Nay's lap).] Some of her officemates had been taking video and photos using their mobile phones. Parang celebrity, hehe. It was a fine three-song performance— with a bonus Happy Birthday To You sang by everyone. The crowd cheered. Nay was a little dumbfounded. And happy. Thank God. The tough grind that we (inlcuding Broe) went through that week was worth it. =)

Super thanks to Maam Norma, her boss, and the rest of her officemates for helping us keep the whole thing a top secret up to the last minute. And thanks to the boys for the music.

Hmmm..nice team, buddy ko. =)
