Road Rage

I almost wasn't able to go to such an eventful activity. Why? Mum and Pop didn't let me. Boy, was I surprised.

But being the rebellious daughter that I am, I went anyway.

I arrived at around 3pm and the activity was already in full swing. [If it can be called like so.] The entries didn't reach the projected number, though. We learned later that it was partly because FPJ held a campaign somewhere near San Pablo which caused heavy traffic. Darn politics! We lost at least 5 entries. FPJ sure lost at least 20 votes.

The weather couldn't have been more cooperative. I loved it! Looking back on Transhow 2001, we all had sunburns by the end of the day. I had this tan line which showed prevalently coz I was wearing a tank top the whole day and changed into a bareback top for the awarding ceremonies. I was teased to be Floi Egay for days after.

By 7pm, some sisses transferred to Flatrocks to prep things up for the after-party. I was one of them. It was a bit funny because they were announcing the whole day that the awarding ceremonies will be held at Flatrocks but they didn't realize that some participants had no clue as to where Flatrocks is. I posed as tour guide and gave the participants directions. I now have at least 5 more stalkers on my cellphone. Great.

The party was a blast. For the Betans, anyway. Most of the participants were too tired to "pah-ty!!!". By midnight, entrance was free and San Mig Light was sold at P20. I slipped out of the party with Allan for a while and transferred to IC's for Weng-Weng. We caught up with each other. Actually, I wouldn't call it catching up coz for the two years that I've known him, that I've hung out with him, I never really had a personal conversation with him. So, it was more like getting to know each other better.

We went back to the party and I sat down with the Castrol people. I was thinking "Forget PR-ing the participants. Focus on the sponsors." Lolz. Well, we've been seeing Mr. Castrol #1 since the very first Transhow so we've known him for two years and he has always been this aloof I'm-here-for-business man. We were all surprised when he launched into a comedy act and took on the spotlight. Hmmm... we should have gotten him drunk years ago!Ü Mr. Castrol #2, as we found out later, doesn't really work for Castrol. He's just Mr. Castrol #1's peer that got fed up and became an instant judge for the activity.

By 4am, things mellowed down and we called it a night. Roselle the Great and I crashed at Lou-Anne's place. We finally hit the sack at 6am after evaluating and discussing the activity's turn-out over lots and lots of food. Talk about major after-gimik pig-out.

Egocentrism

A friend taking up Computer Science at DLSU was asked if she has already made/designed/posted her own website. She calmly answered no. When asked why, here's her answer.

"E kase sa tingin ko yung mga merong sariling website, conceited. Puro lang naman tungkol sa sarili nila ang nilalaman nun e. E hindi ako ganun."

Just like her to have a far-out opinion. He he he.

Deleted

A thing about break-ups is claiming your single-ness.

Before I even thought of it, He already deleted His testimonial for me and mine for Him. I was surprised He didn't delete me from His friend list.

I asked a friend who is recovering from a break-up if she has already deleted the ex's text messages. She hasn't. I dared her that we'll do it simultaneously. She faltered. Why? Coz she "can't handle it if the ex deleted her text messages. And she wouldn't stand it if the ex deleted her from his life altogether".

I haven't deleted His messages yet. I guess I'm still gathering up enough strength to even think of completely letting go.
