A Pretty Good Facsimile

Last night, I was at Nathan Phillips Square,

attending the “Filipino Idol” competition (as an audience member, not a

performer), which was organized with the assistance of the Filipino Centre of Toronto,

which Dad helped found. With the good-sized crowd, some really great

performances, some Filipino kebabs and the hot and humid weather, I

closed my eyes and thought “Yeah, it feels kinda like Manila.”
