Or so we thought....lol. The theater was still (almost) empty when we arrived. I gave my Mom the "I told you so" speech, I knew it wasn't going to start on time! Come on! This is Filipino time at its finest! But I am not one to get irritated with things like this, as long as we arrived safe and sound, late or not, everything's okay and the show goes on. It started at around 8:20pm.

| As part of my husband's Mother's Day gift to me and my Mom, he got us tickets to see Lani Misalucha at Pechanga Resort and Casino. Thank you boo! :) |
Lani Misalucha did not disappoint. She has a powerful voice, a voice that made me realize why the 3 hour drive and the steep hotel reservations I paid for that night were all worth it. Haha. Seriously though, she can control that voice like no other! I was in awe, amazed and proud that she is an OPM artist with a world-class talent. How I wish I saw her during her Vegas days. Her special guest was Arnel Pineda, another talented guy who joined the band Journey a few years back as their lead singer. He sang a lot of 80's rock ballads, but my favorite was their duet, a classic OPM song "Maging Sino Ka Man".
Lani can also crack jokes and play with the audience which made it more fun and overall a great show. Once in a while, I like watching American artists and shows, but I know I will never get tired of watching and supporting Filipino artists. I always get emotional, it takes me back...way way back...lol!!!
This is not the first time we watched a show at Pechanga Resort and Casino, the first one was Gary Valenciano's concert last February. Another awesome show! Gary V. is truly timeless!
That was how we spent the first part of our Memorial Day weekend this year. :)
