We started off early today, pero my boss is super tamad na to go to the convention. Matutulog na lang daw muna sya .. sosyal!!! Sana ako din hahaha! Anyways, we walked to the Hilton to have breakfast (sosyal x 2) and to go check out if we could “attend” the pre-sessions for the convention being held there. “Attend” meaning singit, salimpusa, seat-in kumbaga. My boss said she can get us in … well the thing is the pre-sessions are paid sessions that cost around $500.00 … so you could not blame me if I was a wee bit skeptical … pero sabi nya kaya daw nya yun .. tingnan ko nga kung kaya nyang magpa-cute o madaan nya sa kanyang pinagmamalaking impeccable negotiating skills ang mga tao dito. Approach the person in charge - - hmm, talk daw to the speaker chorva – here he is … okay … hhhmmm…. I’m really sorry but we have to consider the fact that the people inside PAID to get in to these sessions so if you want, you can pay and attend the sessions … but .. blah blah blah … but … I’m sorry ma’am, but it think that’s not fair. With that last line, our chances of getting in the pre-sessions went poof! … hehehehe … di po pwede ma’am?? (adding insult to injury … haha! … well, the opportunity presented itself, sayang naman kung hindi ako makakapang-asar di ba?) … masungit yung speaker, di daw pwede,, hmp! Wehehehehe! Sana pala nakipagpustahan ako, may extra dollars sana ako ngayon hahahahaha! (S’ Ariel!!!!! Pustahan tayo o!)
Well, aside from that, the high point of my morning was breakfast. Nun lang ako nakakain ng matinong almusal. I had corned beef! =) (ay! Corned beef ?!? – di masarap yan eh .. pero well, yan ang gusto mo eh – bossing) Oh well, sabi ko eh gusto ko eh … bakit ba? During breakfast may nakapasok na mamang may sayad dun sa Hilton. Kaloka di ba???? Dire-diretso sya sa buffet table sabay kuha ng plato at sandamakdamak na bacon. Nung tinanong sya nung supervisor nun ng can I help you sir, ang sagot nya, I’m eating .. what are you going to do? Help me eat??? TARAY hahahahaha! Pero in fairness, natakot ako sa kanya … kasi malapit sya sa table naming nakaupo, eh nakatalikod ako sa kanya, tapos maya-maya nagsasalita sya tapos tumatawa. Ako naman, akala ko may kausap kasi super tuwang tuwa sya as in tawa with tipong hampas moment pa … ayun pala wala syang kausap as in wala!!!!! Naloka ako !!! natalo ako sa pagka-animated!!!! Kung iisipin mo, sa isang banda, parang ang saya ng buhay nya… kasi ala sya ginagawa .. or di naman nya alam ang ginagawa nya (may sayad nga eh) … pero parang ang saya-saya nya … kahit na ang kasama nyang mag-breakfast eh yung imaginary friend nya lang, ang saya nila di ba??
So, eh di hindi nga kami nakapasok di ba? (well, in the first place we weren’t really supposed to attend the pre-sessions kasi nga expo lang yung tickets namin) … anyways, we just walked to the convention center so we can pre-register na for tomorrow’s official opening. ANG LAYO! Naloka ako … hahahaha! After staying there for less than an hour, we walked back to the hotel .. again … ANG LAYO!!!! Pagod ever!
Pagdating sa hotel, dead to the world na ang boss ko …as in!!! she slept a good part of the day as in … namutla na ako sa gutom, tulog pa din sya. So nung tumawag si rinna (yehey! Sa wakas, dumating din! ) sama na ako agad so I can grab a bite to eat. Pero ang siste pala, ang mga ofcmates ng rinna eh gusto muna pumunta sa convention … hayyy .. okay sige, lets go, total lapit lang naman din dun yung mall. Pero gutom na ang mga bulate ko nun, pramis .. pero dapat smile pa din hahaha!
After half an hour, NAKAKAIN NA AKO!!!! Sa wakas!!!!! Hehehhe, tapos umikot muna kami sa mall. TAPOS, after a while … nag-ring ang phone ko .. TXT MSG from bossing – please buy us food since you’re in the mall …. Hayyy … the rigors (or rigor mortis haha!) of being the ONLY lowly employee in a party of big shots is being the errand person – the “go to” girl .. “ano po ang maipaglilingkod ko sa inyo mam/ser? type… so balik ako sa food court to buy their specific food cravings. Ambigat ha!!!! I needed to buy food for 4 eh! Tapos I walked back sa ULAN … hahahahahah! Good luck! Wag naman sana ako madulas or mapetot di ba??
I got back safe and petot-free sa hotel that night … pero my gas! Feeling ko napagod ako the whole day pero super uneventful naman ang araw ko… haaayyyy … sana bukas may maayos na pangyayari sa buhay ko … sana may kabuluhan na … hahahah!!!! Iniisip ko tuloy dapat Sunday na lang ako ang fly in di ba???? Nakapasok pa sana ako sa UP at nabawasan ang absent ko na need ko pa bawiin pagbalik ko … haaaayyyy….
The day started out okay actually, filled with snippets of fun sprinkled in between long walks and talks pero the afternoon turned sour as everything else went out of whack. Ala pa naman maikutan dito .. kakatakot din umikot lalo na pag gabi. Mejo probinsyatic ang dating ng New Orleans eh. Isa pa, may 2 shoes na ko the last 2 days eh. I need to break my buying streak … hahahahaha! Super strong conviction needed for this goal … as in….
