A sweet friend of ours surprised Kap & me with 2 tickets to the musical Saturday Night Fever at the theater of Solaire Resorts & Casino the other day. Kap & I are not fans of musicals but because this was a gift from a dear friend, and Saturday Night Fever is more or less our “era”, Kap & I got excited for a night out. We seriously thought of going in 70’s costumes but couldn’t find bell-bottom jeans at such short notice. Sayang! Cute sana diba?

The tickets our generous friend gave us were for balcony. Kap & I were actually ok with that and super thankful for the thoughtful gift. She wanted to exchange our tickets for better seats for another day but we really didn’t want to cause any more trouble so we held on to our original tickets & thanked her profusely. A blessing is a blessing. <3

One thing with Kap & I is we’re full of misadventures, not just adventures. 🙂 And misadventures are the ones that are memorable. It’s always fun going out on dates because we have hoots of laughters in between.

When the lights dimmed as we were seated high above, Kap & I whispered back & forth strategizing how we can sneak to the VIP section (gold seats) below when the usher wasn’t looking anymore since a good number of seats were unoccupied anyway. A whole block was actually there for the taking.

Armed with extra sensory powers probably, and hearing our naughty convo (or seeing our sign language pointing to all the seats in front) -also probably to shut both of us up, our kind usher came & whispered asking if we wanted to transfer seats & move closer. Of course we nodded simultaneously & jumped at the chance and followed his lead to VIP. 😛

Then I tried taking pictures even after numerous warnings prior that we were NOT allowed. I’m just so pasaway, aren’t I. *Click click click. The same usher came to us, poked my shoulder, and asked nicely if I could delete all the photos I took. Binantayan niya talaga ako. He stood patiently as I deleted one by one. *Delete delete. What he doesn’t know is I can recover from my iPhone hehe. And so here we are! I swear, Kap & I will probably be blocked from Solaire forever! 😛 Uuuuy, pang-souvenir lang naman. And I didn’t take photos of the production number kaya pagbigyan nyo nalang po ako?

After the show, we had a quick dinner & walked around a bit. We were so empacho from a heavy lunch with friends but a date is a date. We had to have dinner or it wasn’t considered a date (not in my book anyway).

We were soooo full that we were torn between going home & sleeping na, or walking it off at baka bangungutin kami. Nanaig ang takot. We walked around a bit! ;))

On our way home, we couldn’t access the no-crossing bar at the parking because we didn’t have a parking ticket. Kamot ulo kami coz we watched all the cars pass and go by, one by one nakalabas naman sila. They all had tickets & the bar lifted each time they fed the box. Kami walang ticket.

Then Kap remembered. Sumampa nga pala sya sa island kasi hindi nya nakita at mababa lang. Which is why we weren’t issued a ticket! LMAO, ROFL! We are such pasaway people. In fairness, it was only our second time in Solaire therefore we didn’t know the drill. So the only logical thing was to get out the same way. Hala Kap, sampa uli! Buti nalang wala nang tao at hindi kami na-video for youtube!

Reading this, our benefactor will probably think twice, or thrice, before giving us freebies anytime soon hehe. Pati siya mapapahamak dahil sa amin ni Kap! Apologies pohwz!

Dearest Mare, Kap & I can never thank you enough for your thoughtfulness. This was such a lovely surprise & we were greatly touched by the sweet gesture. How I wish I can thank you publicly, but oo nga naman, mahirap na haha. Baka madaming maghingian. Kap & I had a fun fun night filled with belly-aching laughter! Sobrang saya & hilarious our night. I love you grande. Mwah mwah tsup tsup! :-*

The GOppets are so lucky to be blessed with so many gifts & opportunities from wonderful friends. We are thankful for each one, big or small. Muchas gracias from the bottom of our big fat hearts. Until our next misadventure (which isn’t long!) 😉
