happeee 5th anniv!!!

kudos to Sugar Free, one of my fave local bands today!! They're celebrating their 5th year today (well, last night, but since it's early a.m., i still think it's today) :-D

Anton texted me while i was in T.Morato about the gig, quite unexpected actually. Yey! Got to get in for free (thanks Anton!) and got to see the bands! Had a chance to conrgatulate Jal and Ebe (Mitch wasn't there yet) while Ymago was going through their set. Music sounds good, i'm actually looking forward to their new album! :-) Most of the band peeps were there, as well as some familiar faces (from college and the like). I miss these gigs! I feel like such an archaic person, not being able to check out gigs as often as i want. Geez. :-P STill, it's such an experience to once again listen to these guys perform live, and not just hear it from my computer's speakers.

I actually had the pleasure of getting to know Ebe, Jal and Mitch through an interview assignment about two years back (i was in awe then, still in awe now), and they were really great to talk to. Nowadays i see their faces plastered on covers (see PULP's latest) as well as hear airplay of their most recent singles. Pretty kewl! It's really weird, but sometimes i still get the "groupie" feel (which i usually get whenever i'm within 5 feet of a band member i really am amazed at). Haha, i bet they're laughing their ass reading this :-P Anyway, had to leave early cos i have work tomorrow (gasp! On a saturday!!) But i did get to catch Cambio and Ymago in action, and got to pay my respects to the band members (who are, by the way, pretty interesting people, even without the music hype -- kwela!) So guys, even after much gushing, congrats!!! ;-)

Don't forget to sign my cds, ayt!?

Weird thing about this day is that it seemed to be just moving along... I actually was at the office until about 9:30p.m., making those darned lotus flowers (origami). The freaking deadline they gave me was next to impossible, and well, stuff was piling up from the other companies i was also dealing with. Great. Just the stuff to make a more interesting weekend. And i was actually planning to leave the metro!

It's also my boss' borthday today pala. Was stuck intraffic while doing errands so by the time i got back to the office i was a bit disoriented. He and I rode the elevator and it didn't even occur to me to greet him! (doh!*smack on head*) He was really nice too, he brought us lunch (Yellow cab pizza, and the works). *sigh* I feel like such a putz. But happily, i was able to greet him. And he liked my work on the collats (yehey!) so in a way i'm kinda glad i made his day.

Gawd... the little things that can make you happy...

Had dinner with Herb at Teriyaki Boy (she was helping me out with the lotus thingies, thanks herb!) and i was soo famished i was actually looking at the other people who eating with dagger eyes. Heheh. Had some salmon don and some maki, and finished about two glasses of iced tea. (Yikes! Glutton me!) I think i must have been really hungry, or was just eating way too fast, because afetr a while my stomach hurt. Ugh.

So here i am, back at home, my contacts itching like hell, and i'm pretty much smelling like the cigarettes i was smoking earlier. Hell, i had a heck of a time
tonight, even with all the shitload of work. Dare i expect more hours from now?? Hmm.... i just hope to GOD i finish those 50 pieces of "teasers" i need to assemble.
