The Weekend

Saturday was an interesting day, to say the least.

Had some rest and found myself cleaning up my room, and pretty much watching Friends Season 3 episodes (yup, it's soo good to see the episode where Rachel and Joey read "scary" books. Went to the INK meeting, where i find myself entering the room just as my name was called for Presidentiable nominations. Me? A president? Uh-uh. NO WAY!!! I hate being stuck at a job that will absolutely suck any social happening in my life and lead me to stress about things which can be easily avoided. In short, Thanks, but No thanks!! :-P I was texted a few days back taht i wa sagain nominated for the PR position, but well, we all know how that turned out. hehhe.

We had the kapihan afterwards, at Sugar n Beans, this quuaint cafe in Katipunan. T'was fun, really good to see some of the old members, plus it was good to see a lotta new faces excited and just happy. Of course, it's amazing how much INK has grown! Didn't stay long though, had to do some grocery shopping. Wasn't able to go to the dinner my friend invited me to, perhaps i was just too tired, or maybe the weekend blahs just got to me. In any case, i cooped myself in and made dinner, and after a while Haydz came by to chat and hang out. Besides, i had to be at Folk Arts Theatre before 10am the next day.

Sunday saw me blearily trying to keep myself awake as i take the MRT to Taft. Had a facepainting gig at 10am at the Grand Kapuso Fans Day for Art Angel, this art show i did a demo for previously.

I cannot believe how many people are in this gig.

It was hot, noisy and well, filled to the brim with people. Sharon, the PA, was really sweet, she met me at the gate to usher me into the stadium/theatre. Thank GOD they only allowed 20 slots for painting! It was fun, and well, the kids were really nice, very quiet while i was painting them. Ate Pia, the host, was mobbed during her brief stint at the booth, with hordes of people just pushing to take a pic or an autograph. hehhe. Wow.

Saw Ouie!! He was the artist they got for the caricature gig, which was after mine. Sweet guy! He did some practice caricatures on me, Sharon and Bhel, another PA. Had to leave though, i couldn't stand the heat!

Treated myself to a good lunch ( tuna sandwich on foccacia, anyone?) then bought myself some books with my pay money. Yup, I was in luck! Got to buy Death: The High cost of Living and Death: The time of your life in one day! It was on sale too! Whoo-hoo!



Checked out the sale at Glorietta before i left for home. Got me nice shoes for half the price yey! :-D I may not have had the best day (the heat, the noise, the extreme traffic!), but at least i got something out of the Art Angel gig. hehehe.
