Generally when you go under 2:20 the notes start slipping away.

Shangri La Cebu  

Whoa!
Ed

[chopinetta]

yeah, there's something new in cebu. we've got the biggest disco house in here!!! i forgot what it's called. well, i don't go to disco houses so i really didn't care about memorizing the name...

[eddie92099]

I know Manila much better though, Mabini is where it's at!
Ed

[chopinetta]

what mabini?

there is mabini st. here in cebu. i know the streets in the central city... .. .. i don't go out soo much.

[eddie92099]

Mabini in Manila is the centre of the nightlife (or Greenbelt...)

Actually a 1:30 performance is perfectly concievable with 100% accuracy.
