Shipped to the US in Business Class (Day 4)

Day 4 (June 29, 2008) – New Orleans

Sa wakas!!! Kasali na kami sa convention! May gagawin na kami! Hahahaha!!! The day started out okay, maganda naman ang exhibits pero I realized na para din syang yung mga shows na na-attendan ko sa Manila, mas extensive nga lang. What was worth attending were the sessions. Maganda yung ibang topics, pero haller .. when my boss asked what I wanted to attend, kinontra yung ibang gusto kong attendan. Attendan ko na lang daw yung mga hindi nya ma-aatendan … my gas! Eh 2 sessions na nga lang ang allowed sakin, dictated pa … nasira ang mood ko .. pramis. Kaw ba naman eh, pano kaya ma-pipique ang interest mo kung yung session na pinaatendan sau eh yung ayaw mo. Oh well … kasali yan sa pagiging aliping saguiguilid .. tanggapin ko na lang .. but she shouldn’t expect me to be way too excited.

We met a few of the suppliers and talked to most of them, set dinner meetings then went around the floor. Kakapagod din, ang laki ng venue, pero sabi nila, this was way smaller than the floor last year.

We had dinner at a local restaurant that served local specialties as in tipong creole, gumbo at kung anetch anetch pa…. I ordered cod fish, the others near me ordered rabbit … curious ako sa rabbit, pero di ko kaya orderin, feeling ko kakainin ko si bugs bunny hehehe. I tried a bite and it tasted like chicken pero medjo malansa sya. Di ko din mashado type ang local food nila. Halo-halo ang lasa .. as in halo-halo .. nakaka-confuse (no offense to others who like it ha … subjective kasi eh). Sa start okay sya, madali lang makasawa, ganun.

We headed back to the hotel after dinner … sa wakas tulugan na… kelangan na eh, mejo nosebleed na etoh, whole day spokening English na eto mga kafatid. Di na kinaya ng blood pressure ko hehehehe =)
