Mall #5434098: Shangri-La Plaza; my second time in one week. LoL. Last night, I met up with two of my cousins who are in college and are both living outside of their parents’ house. Lintik, naunahan pa akong lumayas sa bahay nitong mga ‘to. HeHe.
Din brought her boyfriend along so I got a chance to interview the boy. Pasado naman. Naks! Pasado kasi willing akong isama kapag umuwi siya sa parents’ house niya – makaka-out-of-town ako! LoL. Let’s see kung matutuloy. Kung matuloy yan, ay, sa kanyang-kanya na pinsan ko. HaHa!
Today naman, after three years, I finally got to watch a UAAP game. It was a UE vs. Ateneo game, so of course, humirit na naman ang wanna-be Atenista ways ko. LoL. Sabi nga ni Tet, naks, naka “Ateneo” shirt ka pa ha. Of course, of course. If I had known na it was a UP game beforehand, eh di sana, dinala ko rin yung UP shirt ko. LoL.
You know, one should really experience watching one of those games live. Mas masaya kapag live. Iba talaga ang adrenaline. And for those who miss their high school cheerleading and dance teams, re-live your pompom days at the games! LoL. Siguro tonight, “Get that ball!” will be ringing in my ears hanggang sa pagtulog. Pero puwede “Defense” na lang ang isigaw ninyo para shorter? LoL. And I swear, can I train the cheerdancers? Promise, kahit free, gagawin ko. LoL. While watching the half-time performances, natatawa ako kasi I could just see Ms. Atkins yelling at these students for their bent arms and unpointed toes. Ahh, memories…
Anyway, much thanks to Tetski for spending the day with me. Out of everyone, siya ang pinaka-game to see me ata. Hmmm, bakit kaya? LoL. And I think drama queen talaga ako kasi kahit dito sa Pilipinas, may drama pa rin ako sa buhay. Poor Tet got to hear it all. HaHa!
Ay, we also saw Bembol Roco sa game. That bald head can be spotted anywhere! LoL.

Almost Famous
I told myself before I left Seattle that I would take pictures of every single famous person that I come across here in Manila. Because to this day, I am still trying to get over the fact that I never took pictures with Freestyle in 2002 eventhough we all knew eachother by first names at that time. Well, things haven’t changed because I have no pictures to show regarding this topic.
In less than a week of being here, I have already seen two “famous” people. I met up with folks from ETC today and ate lunch with Sam from “Rated Oh.” It turned out that she was my age, but compared to her, I look like I am ten years younger. HaHa! Aliw siyang kausap kasi walang ere and I felt like talking to another Asian American (eventhough she’s a full-fledged Korean national). Parang ang labo nung sinabi ko. HeHe. Basta, it was good to hear what it’s like to be in front of the camera.
While eating Taco Bell for merienda at Gateway Center afterwards, Paolo Santos was ordering food at the same location. Wala lang, tinginan lang. I was just surprised that I saw him in a mall rather than at a bar, playing a guitar.
Ay! Three “famous” people na pala ang nakita ko. This Saturday, at Zara’s wedding, I met Paolo Paraiso. LoL. Sorry, inside joke. Sa cellphone ko, talagang “Paolo” ang nakalagay doon instead of his real name. HaHa!

Westin, Day 2
WiFi, breakfast buffet, aircon, how can you say no? HaHa! Grabe, 4:30 pa lang, gising na ako. I had to make sure that I was done in the bathroom by the time my cousin woke up para naman hindi kami magkatabi sa pagligo. HaHa! By 6, we were on our way to Katipunan.
Oh my gawd, I didn't know how traffic infested that area is. I swear, if you ever want to stop complaining about traffic in Seattle, you should go to Manila. Guaranteed, you will never complain about traffic ever again in Seattle.
Anyway, by 8, Ninang and I were on EDSA already, making our way to Westin. So here I am, tuwang-tuwa na may "connection to the world" two days in a row. Tapos, may cinnamon toast and bacon pa. Whoo hooo!
Oh yeah, update about my locked cellphone. So I went to Greenhills on Friday, they want P800 to unlock it. I don't think so! But worse pa, Nokia 6010 is not recognized here so they can't get it unlocked anyway. Hence, my Tito loaned me this old Nokia phone; I think it was the same phone that I used in 2002. Anyway, it's so old that black-and-white pa yung screen. I'm not really complaining about its prehistoric aesthetics (a great way to attract non-materialistic people ha, LoL), but more on the fact na hindi ako sanay sa buttons. I swear, two days yata ako nag-trial-and-error to figure out the few buttons that does everything. Baka birthday wish ko na lang sa birthday ko eh cellphone. HaHa!

There's No Business Like Showbusiness
I spent the entire day at Westin. They were having a media shindig and I used it as a networking event to find out more about getting a job at one of the TV stations.
Hirit #1: Ma’am, pero off-cam yung position na ‘yon. Dapat sa harap ka ng camera.
Hirit #2: Single po ba kayo? May naiwang boyfriend ba kayo doon?
Kulang na lang hingin yun number ko. Bakit ba palagi ako ang naiinterview eventhough it’s supposed to be the other way around? And why is my lovelife the number one concern of everybody? Dammit, I need money to stay here long enough to get a boyfriend so let’s put career as the first priority! (Pero kung may pogi naman kayong kilala, puwedeng pagusapan yan. HaHa!)

Holla at Me
Finally! I got my hands on a computer that has an internet connection! Two weeks pa daw bago magka-DSL sa bahay so intay pa tayo na bumalik ako sa ere. In the meantime, the Westin Philippine Plaza is my salvation (for today).
