My friend Suzanne came to Manila almost a couple of weeks ago for her mother's 80th birthday celebration. She invited us to join her mom's party a few folks were unable to go. While there, we decided that we should meet up one more time while she was still in town and since Suzanne hadn't been to a videoke bar in ages, we said it would be good for us to re-live our karaoke days when we all still worked together.
So we met up last Friday night. Suzanne, Joh, Raffa, Me-Ann and I had dinner in Jozu Kin. It was the first time I ate there and I actually thought the food was really good and not overly priced. Peegee and Randee passed by to say hi. After dinner, we walked over to Beat Karaoke (located just above Serenitea). We got the medium room which I guess is good for up to about 8 people and costs P720 per hour. The rates here are per room per hour and not per person, making it relatively cheap. However, it's a basic set-up. You can search for songs by title or artist but this facility is a bit tedious as you can only type in the first letter then you have to keep scrolling down. There is a big book where you can look for songs by title and then just key in the corresponding number to cue your song choice. It's not as sophisticated or user friendly as other videoke bars like Music Match and Centerstage but we survived. :)
We ended up singing a good selection of oldies and new songs. Probably the evening's most memorable number was my duet with Suzanne of "Just give me a reason". Definitely not easy to sing LOL but it was a whole lot of fun. :) We capped off the night with some drinks at Serenitea (Suzanne said she hadn't tried Serenitea yet) before parting ways. It was definitely a fun night with great friends.
