I just had a very very fun first night in Manila.
It started off with dinner with the PH Nuffies.
This is Eric and Jay. Our partners in Nuffnang Philippines!

And here's the Nuffnang Philippines Team.
Can't believe how it has grown. Used to have like.. just one person in Nuffnang Philippines when we started about one and a half years ago.
Dinner was great. Good company, good conversations and great laughs.
After dinner though we headed to this bar called Mag.Net for its famous Monday Rockeoke Nights. Now Rockeoke is where there's a live band and anyone who wants to request a song can go up and sing.
It doesn't matter if you're good or bad, the crowd's just really supportive either ways. The last time I was at Rockeoke I chickened out of singing in front of the crowd and I really regretted it.
This trip back in the Philippines I decided that I just HAD to do it. You only live once!
So I mustered the courage to go up to sing. At first I requested to sing Yellow by Cold Play but the band decided to sing it as one of their opening songs and they sang it so damn bloody well I changed my mind about singing that song. So I picked "How to Save a Life" by Fray.
The whole night was so much fun!
We were all singing along with the other people who went up on stage to sing. Cheered for them. Danced along with the music and had lots to drink. That was pretty obvious from the colour of my face. Red as Sebastian.
Here's a picture of Ming and I with the host that night.
He was really funny. Made all sorts of jokes to get the party going. Okay I really thought long and hard before sharing this video of me singing with you guys but okay... I've decided to be sporting and share it (Yes don't worry, I will keep my day job).
Something tells me I'm going to regret this. Singing ain't exactly a talent I have but it was so much fun being up there on stage. Almost made me feel like I was in an actual band. Like real-life Band Hero. WOOHOO!!!
Thanks for the great night out Nuffies!
On to a full day of meetings today!
