Once in every year we will have favorite event, some moments are nice, some are nicer, some are even worth writing about.
It's been a year ago when JC first mentioned to me about his forthcoming 25th Anniversary. At first I thought he is going to get married! Because he told me "Sol, seems you need to get ready with your gown!" Instantly I said, Oh really! Are you getting married? Hahaha! It's really funny! Yeah, because JC was truly one of a kind comedian by accident. He has a unique gift in his very sweet soft spoken voice to make me laugh, I find him good delivering his punch line even he is not really into joking.
Days passing by and everything turns out so fast and we are all excited looking forward to his approaching big night event.
This wonderful picture was framed and truly precious like a Diary. One of a great production and truly magnificent show and collections. A recollection of my many fondest experienced from JC's big night.

"It was truly one of my happiest moments, more so because you were all there to celebrate with me." JC Buendia ~ In one of our conversation he mentioned.
Tony and Sol Albar Personal Invitation!
JC never forget us and for more than 2 decades he remains appreciative in every step of his way. He said "I would be so happy to see old time friends on my 25th, because you see me from where I started." You're humility has brought you this far in your career. I'm so proud of you JC Buendia not only with your genius work but more because we become good friends!
You deserve all the success and it was a humbling experience for me to write about this on my Diary. I can't even thank you enough for giving me this chance in being a part of your 25th to mark in our Philippine history. This is one priceless moments with you and surely will never be forgotten.
