saturday stood out for me this week. it was one of those days i love - incredibly tiring but oh so fun. Lunch with my sister and her boyfriend, afternoon shopping with my holy girl May, a free show and dinner with my whole org (and the poochers, of course). May and Jennie Jo picked me up again for a nightcap at Mayric's. amazing - one whole day of pure fun. how often does that happen to a city girl? i mean, unless you set your mind to it, it rarely happens. i guess i was really focused yesterday. my sister and her boyfriend hilariously helped me fend off a freak who was texting me over lunch. it's funny how differently women see things compared to men. what may just seem polite to us is actually encouraging for them... or at least not discouraging enough. finally, we all came up with something polite enough, cold enough and clear. here's to hoping he really got the message. may and i gossiped and shopped till we couldn't walk no more. she dished out good stuff, no doubt. hehehe... skipp picked me up at greenbelt 3, along with annie. after a snack at mcdo philcoa (where jill joined us), we passed by for deng and chely en route to the applicants' final prod venue. mark, leo a.k.a prince charming (with a plus-one) and ais (with a plus-one too - just her long lost best friend mark) a.k.a princess charming were already there. so was rolan. and pam (a young padawan) who dressed up as minnie mouse. it was pretty impressive until brian (broadguild make gigolo) showed up as a shakespearean prince...with a plus one three - his own male gigolo named ken. sa wakas, nakahanap ng katapat. hahaha! the applicants had a crazy fairytale show. the fairy guild-mother in drag would give many of the men nightmares exposing leghair underneath white tights and a tutu and "mulawin" eyebrows.. *cringe* they also posted arrows to navigate the house, which turns out to be a practical guide to navigating the dating scene: "le pasukan" - pussy, "le labasan" - dick, and "forbidden grounds" - ass. hahaha... of course, there are exceptions to the rule. after much hullabaloo over how to meet may and jennie jo after the show, we finally ended up two cars away on tomas morato. jennie jo was too funny - making a fuss on where to take a u-turn. she missed all the legit ones, so she still had to break the law. hahaha! parallel parking seems to follow her everywhere, but she got it right this time. we watched two bands, only 5 songs each. one was a punk-ska band, the other was a new wave one. they were quite good. next time we should arrive earlier. back as the baby of the family today, i accompanied my parents to do the grocery-shopping. oh, and i bought a single ticket to the alicia keys show on october 9. i got a pretty good spot. hehehe.. quite a lonely predicament, but music's music. i don't care what the pretty salesgirl says. =)
