It was early 2003, I was on my way home from internship or on-the-job training when I got off E. Rodriguez Sr. Avenue in Cubao. I got out of the jeepney and crossed the road from Monte de Piedad Street near to get on to a nearby bus stop for a return trip to school where I attended my university years somewhere north in Fairview area. As I crossed the street to that destination on a shortcut I chanced upon this building with the ground floor with open-wide windows and probably 10 or more ladies performing a dance number. I am sure these girls maybe going to Japan to as Japayukis?
I just stood a few meters from window and watch them perform. I was so amazed and thrilled with their performance and stood there for a few more minutes before going to EDSA and into school to finish a news article for our college news paper and visit the small bungalow home I am sharing with a classmate and study buddy from Las Pinas who we rent since third year. In a short while, a young lady appeared on the window drinking from her water bottle after pausing for a short break. I decided to leave after 5 minutes and went on to my priorities because I will be taking an one hour ride to Fairview.
