earth day jam 2007

Grabe! The Earth Day Jam '07 was such a great success, people from all over the Metro flocked the Tomas Morato strip to join Mother Earth's birthday bash. Over 30+ artists / bands graced the event and a few number of government officials / (+ aspiring) politicians we're also present and joined the celebration. Whatta blast!!! :)

I've got assignments for the abovementioned event, not to mention doing the invites and all ...

• Weeks before the event - invite NGO's for exhibit, coordinate with the variuos NGO speakers ...
• Set-up night - get final instructions from Lou, coordinate things with Janjan, final meeting w/ Direc Toto, finalize coordination with the 2 stages with Renz
• 4pm, 20 April 2007 - check all NGO booths, finalize / revised NGO speakers, check MBC bars (earth and fire), give instructions to special security and DPOS, give red and green VIP passes, earth day greetings from establishments, give instructions to the mobile camera man, coordinate things w/ the Earth stage's backstage director
• 8PM, Show time - interviewe artists, take charge of Mayor SB, Cong. Noynoy, Sec. Angelo and the Ms Earth contestants and Titlist, interview establishments and audience, check attendance of speakers, enjoy the event
• After the event - do kampai with the Dimitri team :)

So, those are just some of the things that were assigned to me ... unfortunately, I wasn't able to do all of them because of some unavoidable circumstances. Let's just say I was trapped at the Earth-Water stage for almost 3 hrs, because of the VIP's. Cong. Noynoy arrived on-time while the other two, esp Sec. Angelo is so damn pasaway, GRRRR. When the Mayor arrived, I was already looking after Cong Noynoy (since he got there 1st), so I opted to endorse the Mayor to Janjan (my counterpart and Lou's nephew). As for the Earth Day constestants and Titlist, I endorsed them to Belle (a Dimitri employee). I had a great time chatting with Cong. Noynoy, he was kind enough to share some kris aquino updates and made a little sharing with regards to his nephew, Josh (who accompanied him at the event).

Cong. Noynoy left after his interview, he didn't proceed to the Fire-Air stage becuase of Josh. While waiting for the Secretary's arrival, I've been hearing updates from our radio (intercom) about the happenings at the other stage .... i was so damn inggit! But there's nothing I can do, I can't leave the Earth stage and join the fun at the Fire stage, I've gotta work ... Lou gave me responsibilities and I said Yes, so I have to mark my word for it. I've been working with Dimitri for the past 4 years now, and I just can't let them down now because of some personal crap ... hell no, I've gotta be professional ... and so I did.

The only thing that made me smile while waiting for the Secretary are my close encounters with the artists backstage, esp. Rocky, Lakan, Pepe, Loui and of course Jayjay Lozano - the cutest!, they're also known as The Bloomfields :) WAHHHHH!!!!! I don't mind having this pic taken, though Myla (Stage Manager) was laughing at me, the hell do I care (hahaha Myla!). He got my number and we we're texting last Saturday ... KILIGGGGG!!!!!

Of the record, he's kinda flirt ha ... pero he's nice and he's so cuteee!!! When I told Lou about Jayjay, that I'm crushing him, she told me that Jayjay is still a kid, i laughed and told her that he's like 21-22 y/o already, "pwede na 'yon" ... and we both laughed and hi fived! :)

The Secretary arrived when The Bloomfields were about to start there set ... mejo lang diba, kainis talaga! I hurried and approach Sec at once, asked him to wait at one of the tables at the VIP area, asked the waiters to assist him and excused myself to go at infront of the stage and watch The Bloomfields, BWAHAHAHA!!! Iniwan ko talaga si Sec sa backstage, nyeta ang tagal nyang dumating eh. Kaya ako, ayun nasa harap nagpapaka baliw habang pinanonood sila, shempre most of the time kay Jayjay ako nakatingin. Infairness, nag a-eye to eye naman kme, konting shy ako pero carry na din, inisip ko na lang eh I'm from Dimitri kaya kinlangan mejo kapalan ko mukha ko. Nyahahaha!!! After the set, nalost na si Sec, nasa MBC bar na sha nakaupo, in preparation for his interview. Kaya ako, ayun nakatutuk nanaman kila Jayjay and eventually said our goodbyes. The moment the guys left, I asked for security back-up na coz I'll be crossing the flock of peeps all over the Strip.

Lou was already performing when I got to the Fire stage, and to tell you the truth, that stage rocks! That stage is so damn filled with black boys (those hard core rock fans) ... para silang mga kuto, ang lilikot at ang gugulo ... not to mention na it's super init there! I didn't quite like the last few bands - Up Dharma Down, Itchy Worms, The Dawn, etc ... but to be at the Fire stage is already enough for me. I don't like the line up in the Air stage, i find it so tunog katutubo :) well except for The Bloomfields ofcourse!

Oh well, basically that's how it was last Friday ... didn't enjoy the jam itself but I enjoyed the event one way or another. Met people ... smile smile ... had a chance to speak with Cong Noynoy ... saw alot of happy audience ... pakikay with Jayjay :) ... and a whole a lot more

~ cheers ~

Singleringen!

Being a single-unattached lady nowadays is so damn fun ... I dunno with the others, but for me, ILOVEIT! I get to date whoever I want, I can go any where, any time, in other words ... I get to do things without the worries of whatever.

Last January, I dated RJ ... at first we we're doing good, later on he screwed up that's why i opted to take the other route. March, I met Dan. We went out for a just a couple of nights - well it was just a Bora thingy. Then came April, during the Holy Week I met Mokong ... yeah, I'm crushing him but what we share is more likely of buddies than a romantic relationship, we're almost relatives but not really (and we both took it from there). Then came Vince (for the Nth time, he's back), I went out with him last Sunday, it was fine??!? yeah, it was fine but kinda boring ... the kilig factor wasn't there. And ofcourse, my all time favorite date ... who else, Den-den! - too many to mention, he's way above all these guys :)

To end this entry, all I wanna say is that, I feel so so great with everything and/or nothings . "I'm doing perfectly fine, dear". I'm enjoying every single minute of my life. That's why I invite and say to you, "together let's go boy hunting".

Siya'y Nagbalik ...

At ngayon sa iyong pagbalik,

Anong dapat asahan?

Ito na ba ang oras na tayo'y magkakasundo,

O katulad din ito ng ating mga nakaraan?

Hindi ko alam kung ano'ng ating patutunguhan,

pikit mata ko na lang tatawirin ang pagsapit ng bukang liwayway.

Captain Oh Captain ...

First impression, tatay! Second impression, juding! After a couple of kampai nights, confirmed, he’s straight and he’s a self-confessed “jerk and asshole”. But what the hell am I doing that Easter night at Off the Grill, Timog Ave.? The answer, we we’re sharing a bucket of beer, sizzling shrooms and a hot plate of sisig, while unveiling ourselves to each other. It’s was such an odd kampai / date (whatever), instead of putting his best foot forward, he told me how jerk he is … he told me how asshole he could be (not in the yabang sense). It was also then that I learned that he’s cute especially when he smiles. He’s got a flawless complexion, a good height, acceptable built and a nice set of teeth. As a person, he’s a gentleman, he’s nice though and the thing that tops it all, he’s a self-confessed jerk and asshole at the same time.

We stayed at the bar for 2.5 hours, he’s a good conversationalist too. Later on, he asked me to accompany him to meet his friend / former colleague at the Crown Plaza Hotel. We just had coffee at the hotel and ofcourse chit-chats. We left the hotel around 1.30AM, and when we we’re both about to start the engines of our cars, he approached me and kissed me on the cheek (kiligggggggg)!!!

By the time I got home, we exchange text messages and eventually said our good nights. I went to bed with a smile on my face. Yes, I’m not gonna deny it, I crush him. I have this feeling that I can tame him, hahaha … I’m challenged with how he is, I’m confident that to say that I can change him to be the boyfriend type of guy.

But things are pretty complicated because of the links that binds us both – he’s my cousin-in-law’s brother! That just means that we will be seeing each other for the rest of our lives. One wrong move and it’ll forever hunt us both, one wrong move and today will turn out to be a bitter yesterday.

the eve!

i dont know what happened ... i dont know how, when and where it all started ... but i tell you, i not numb and i know that there's coldness in the friendship.

i was already in morato when you texted me asking if i could accompany you in friday's coz you're gonna meet up with frances. for obvious reasons, i declined. i declined because of these following reasons: (1) i dont think that night is a good night for me to join you guys. you've gotta talk and finalize things once and for all. you both are in a vague spot with regards to your relationship, so why invite someone to join you then? honestly, it's an odd spot for me. (2) arcee is also my friend, yes you are my bestfriend but i dont think it's right to play favorites ... you know me chele. i dont wanna be bias or sumthin. (3) i opted to go home that night coz im so damn tired. been in the ofc from 9-6pm, then i rushed to morato for a mtg which lasted for 2.5 hrs ... pls understand that i feel so fucking exhausted and drained that very night.

i texted you and apologized the moment i got to recompose myself back, dead ma ka. i greeted you 12mn and you replied 9am, ok lang. then i never heard anything from you since then. chele, i know you're going thru something, but you chose to be silent, fine, i respect that. i know you despise me one way or another for what happened ... but may i request that ma you to please broaden your horizons ... there's always the other side of the coin! we're no longer kids, so may we please act as responsible grown ups, let's stop acting like kiddos, brats, etc.

im sorry for this. i hoped you had a happy birthday.

tc and will wait for your reply.
