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 ~
