Before the sun set, Kris and the man proceeded to the nearby Cabatuan Arts Center where the Grammy Awards ceremony was held. Architect Adrian Novillas designed the magnificent building while Engr.

One by one, the nominees for the different categories of the Awards were called by the program hosts, Miss Universe Aileen Bastiero and movie director Henley Puga who directed the award-winning movie, "Harry and Peter" based on a novel written by Nobel Prize winner, Shiela Mae Monegro. When night fell, the duo decided to dine in an Italian restaurant, managed by Romydith Cata. The eatery was located near the Cabatuan City International Airport. While eating, they saw pilots of different international airline companies. They were Von Kristoffer Pinero, Jonathan Gayanoche, and John Benedict Arcos. Also inside the restaurant were stewards and stewardesses. They were Richard Beso, Aileen Aguero, Anna Lou Lopez, Leah Mae Dominguez, and Ma. Theresa Ballador. In going out of the restaurant, the duo saw a landing plane. Out came soldiers from Mindanao after accomplishing their mission of pulverizing 'the Abbu Sayyaf. The group of soldiers was led by Gen. Mark Anthony Garrido, Col. Armie Artieda, Capt. Clint Vincent Emperado, and Maj. Febe Rose Bedua. Still continuing their tour of the place, Kris and the man rode in a taxi with a built-in television. The TV set, at that time, focused on a newscast that featured a successful seaman Carlo Yap who was just married to a celebrated inventor Meriliza Binueza, the inventor of the h i g h I y modernized cellphone. The news also announced that Engr. John Federick Caballero, with the help of Engr. Al Marie Rute, was greatly responsible for the construction of a tunnel under the Pacific Ocean, connecting the Atlantic Ocean to the Arctic Ocean. Then Kris and the man stopped at a museum where the paintings of Larry Reyes and Carmelo Borcelo were displayed. The former-painted the laughing Mona Lisa while the latter painted rustic scenes. Displayed in one corner of the museum were the discoveries of scientists. Exhibited was a medicine for obesity, discovered by Jay Roseville Dudas. The cloning process devised by Mark Reynan Villasana was also on exhibit. Opposite this corner was another area where the latest mathematical formulas were presented. These were the law of antiphysics formulated by JC Halili and the fourth law of motion by Lorvilyn Amoroso and Marian Lujan. Time was running out. Kris and the man went out of the museum. The man in white cloak clearly intoned, "I must go now.,, Kris replied, "But wait, we have been together for a long time but I haven't known you well. Who are you? Why is it that I met all my fellow Seniors before in a future time but I haven't seen myself? Does it mean that I have no future? Walking away, the man smiled and said, "Just call me Dr. K." "K what?" Kris asked. "Dr. K. . . Dr. Kristofer Rey Alag." The man suddenly vanished. Amused, Kris didn't know what to do: to smile because, despite of his behavior he still has a future, or to cry. He scratched his eyes to be sure he was not dreaming. As he opened his eyes, he found himself lying on a white bed in a hospital. Kris told himself, "I must have been dreaming." Then he felt something hard on his palm. He slowly opened his palm and he found a nameplate. Engraved on it is the name of Dr. Kristofer Rey Alag. The models' outfits were designed by couturiers of international caliber, Harold Conlinenle and Roy Bugsad. Another highlight of 38 the GLOW april 2002
