tired..but not so..
The week started (Monday) hecticly, I was early at the office to update the directory and confirmed list of the artists. Schedule changes were done, then later that afternoon, Tita Len, Ricci and I headed to Eastwood for the venue meetings. Haaay...it didn't run so smoothly. It's really hard to convince close-minded and arrogant human beings. Excellent communication skills and patience can get you thru, tho. Kahit gusto mo nang sigawan yung client, dapat hindi. I also learned that there are two kinds of music enthusiasts, the commercial ones and the deeper ones. Unfortunately, maraming owners nang restos sa Eastwood ang nasa unang kategorya. Fete pa naman caters to the latter ones. Only the Blues genre made it through without hassle. Tuesday didn't differ too much with Monday, we covered two more venues...same same. Still waiting for the confirmation. Ricci just invited us ni Tita to Mishka's gig at 70's bistro...galing! She sang it so great, that I'm falling in love with Jazz/Blues already. ü Ayan..humahabol na ako sa music education ko. Wednesday was a my loungey day...with a few business calls on the side. Ganyan talaga, 24/7 kang on-call. But one significant moment on that day? I sold my 6210 at a minimal price. Hay. Ang dami naming pinagdaanan nun! Yesterday naman, half-day ako at the office to attend the rehearsal for Shine's event. There, I was reunited with Tita Nanette (Inventor)...superrr saya talaga kasama niya! I love her!!ü Medyo gulo yung production nila Shine so, I guess I'll be part-time lang talaga dun. And today? Was calling prospect sponsors to complete the list. Nagb-break lang ako ngayon.
I'm tired...but not so...
nga pala, i cried when Camille Velasco left AI.. =,(

Back on track…
Finally! My first day of Fete work has arrived. The event will still be co-organized by Alliance Francaise and Dovetail Solutions, Inc. Same prod team, Mrs. Len Francisco as the director, Ricci Fidelino as prod manager with Julie Pacanas and I to assist the over-all duties. Fete’s secretariat this year is located in Pacific Star (Makati Ave cor. Gil Puyat), kaya, naturally, ako’y isang makati-office-girl-slash-legwork-ng-prod-girl na. Galing! Haha. =) I’m sure there’ll be more fun and pagod and fun and puyat and fun and starstruck moments and fun and tuliro times and fun and nervous breakdown flashes and fun to come til the next three months.
Hay. I’m just very grateful that it’s a good kick off. Sana talaga tuloy-tuloy na ito! =)

The Andrea Sachs Moment
Second day, first muddle.
I was on the phone, talking to Ira while waiting for a confirmation from Makiling Ensemble when my bosing rang on my mobile to ask a favor. Syempre, I ended my conversation with Ira and attended to bosing. After doing what she asked me to do confidently, I called Ira again and picked up where we left of. Not too long after, my bosing calls again (then so, binaba ko phone with Ira again) and told me that I might have sent her the wrong info. She repeated her previous instructions, which made US realize that I unintentionally misheard ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT DETAILS she said. Gash. Disaster. I caused my bosing to delay some transactions. I apologized sincerely. She’s strict but let me get away this time in an affectionately but sternly way. Taken from her text message, “NP. Charge it to experience.” Hay. Will do, promise, will do. Di na talaga mauulit yon. This was my first ever time of making a mistake at work for the past year. Ang sama ng feeling, but then at least umpisa pa lang, there’ll be times to still prove my worth of the job. Good thing my bosing is no Miranda Prieslty. Thank God!!

The Reunion
Prior to this day, I was nervous on meeting my old friends. Sobrang tagal na kasing di ko sila nakasama. Fortunately, each gave comfort naman that made the moment worth being part of. May mga nagbago, but all turned out to be for the better.ü
To Russ, Bianca, Isab & Jessica...thank you thank you for the splendid brunch we shared! im glad that you're all part of my life. hope to see you more soon!

"Mari,buti na lang.Buti na lang talaga."
i don't know if it was good or i should just shrug it off. Andrea was so convinced that it all happened for the better. i agree. after a whole year, i can say that they were more pro's than con's. ewan ko ba. deviant or not, complicated or somehow demented...i still won't hope for anything else to have happened during those days.
tama pa rin para sa'kin..kahit masakit sa huli.

Remember the times when you were the center of attention? Making you dance in front of everyone and every Tito and Tita, older cousins take turns to play with you and attempts to understand your own little language? Your lola and lolo keeps on pinching your taba and sniff every inch of you? I’d call that my carefree days. I was never asked to dance, tho. Masungit daw akong bata. But my cousins were my joy. We would be playing games and whatever is available to tinker with. I miss those days. Especially, yesterday, the scenario was a bit different. I took care of my lola (my lolo passed away long before), gave her dinner and kept her company whenever im available. I was the one asking the kids to dance and attempted to play Bey Blade (aba’y tama ba ang spelling?! =p). My other cousins and I answered all the “kiddie q’s” they’d throw at us. We looked after them while playing in the pool and kept alert to jump ala-Baywatch if needed. Most of all, ako ang tinatawag nilang “Ate”. It’s pleasurable realizing that you’re one of the “grown-ups” already. Feeling mature na. Take note, feeling lang. We still didn’t pay the bills, at least. Hahaha. =p but being looked up to, being dragged to join them play and dance Pamela wan, Pamela-mela wan and even helping around to fix dinner and distribute desert was such a fulfillment in so many different senses

I deeply admire those who built their REAL CHARACTER while in school. With the pressures & anxieties, they were able to know themselves & make a mark in their own little way. Well, for some, 66 whole days out of school made it happen. …
it’s all in the mind. you have to be true to yourself. learn to accept your weaknesses & improve on it, instill your strengths and always, as in always keep it real..
you can never please everyone. changing yourself according to other people’s standards will only keep you in a rut. otherwise, living a more peaceful & productive life will be the way to go..
interests have the right to change once in a while. besides, discoveries & innovations are inevitable. whats important is you keep interests that make you a better person..
learn from the past. its not important how many times we fall, but how many times we get up..
never, ever give up. take a chance whenever it comes.
know your stand and be firm with it.
Good or bad, early or overdue, experiences made these realizations come to certainty. Discovering life never stops.
character (n.) a letter; a figure; mark; distinctive qualities; moral excellence

right now, im waitng for feedbacks on more than 10 prod-realted companies i've sent my resumes to but i took a big step last week. i submitted resumes to two fashion companies. its very far from my prod dreams but i want to explore different fields now, right? so, ayun. there's nothing to lose naman, i just wanted to take chances. i guess i can apply my prod/stage managing skills to store managing...or maybe i can work with the promo department, or handle their fashion shoots. pwede un, diba?
im just taking chances...don't want regrets in the future... =)
