ANG DAMING CONCERTS

Grabe on November there's Katy Perry and Black Eyed Peas then December there's Lea Salonga. 

Now Ja Lagunda asked me to come and watch *ehem* the Star Magic concert on Nov.13! OMG of course I said yes! Farrah is also coming so I'm absopositivolutely excited about it. hahaha I have to clear my schedule with my dad though. We'll be in Bicol for All Saints and All Souls' Day and I don't know yet how long we'll be staying there. Siguro naman not THAT long. hehe

I won't attend Katy Perry. I'm still thinking about BEP. It will depend on the cost. haha The Lea Salonga concert depends on mom. If she can negotiate her schedule with Joop and Dad, then it'll be my Christmas gift to her. She really wants to watch it so I plan to get the best seats for both of us. hehe

November 14 is also booked for the Yabang Pinoy Bazaar in Rockwell. Weng placed Emm and I on the VIP list ( I guess that means no entrance fee ahahaha). I'll grab the rest of the H&S / Wonder Girls so we can all go shopping together. Gotta save up for that. haha

I wanna finish my deliverables na! Promise, will finish this employee handbook tomorrow! Then Sunday I will start on the CSR policy. I wanna accomplish them so that I can enjoy my sweldo without guilt. HAHA Good night! :)

I WANT

To watch the Archuleta- Cook Concert!!! AS IN I SUUUUUUPER WANT! But I don't have money. I don't want to settle for a ticket na sa big screen mo nalang sila makikita or parang langgam nalang. Gusto ko KARIR! I want TITANIUM (12+k) or PLATINUM (6+k) - nothing less! Ang layo na kaya ng VIP (3+k)! Pero sige papatulan ko na rin. 

I can't believe ang mahal ng ticket! HELLO JOMARI YLLANA (organizer), ANG MAHAL NG TICKET! RECESSION KAYA!!!

And the concert falls on the day of my birthday! I can't believe I can't afford the best seat! aaagh! Eh shempre I need at least 25k for this coz I need to bring one friend- you know, kung di siya willing to pay, I'll pay for it. Corny naman if I have no one to share the kilig with. hahahaha

ONE DAY I WILL AFFORD ALL THE BEST SEATS IN THE CONCERTS I WANT. AKO PA ANG MAGPAPA CONCERT. HAHAHAHA

Lunch with Fa was fun and suuuper busog! Timmy dropped by also. Wala lang. Naki-aircon lang at iniwan rin kami. Ghad I missed Fa. Sayang Dianne wasn't able to make it. I bet mas laugh trip! YAY! See you when you get back from Japan! Don't forget my Royce chocolate (the Nama Chocolate white!)

Can I tell you about GOAT?

"Greatest Of All Time."

GOAT is Procter & Gamble Philippines' umbrella mantra. Created by P&G Philippines' General Manager Jim Lafferty and the whole P&G team, they share this vision to young students through the leadership class that they hold in UP.

I am part of this class. And it's the biggest hassle of all- BIGGEST AND THE BEST HASSLE OF ALL CLASSES. And I love it. I cannot find the right words today to tell you how humbled and happy I am to be part of this class. The teachings I get make me realize how much there is to see in the world. 

Here are two stories I will never forget from his class.

Nadia Comaneci is the first gymnast to score a perfect 10 in the Olympics. She shares that if you do less of what is expected of you, you are a loser. If you do what is expected of you, that's good. If you do more than what is expected from you, you are a winner. Jim always reminds us of this story when he calls the late comers to move to the front and do 50 push ups. In class we have an honesty system. Some would do 50, some would less, my seat mate and besty Dianne does 52 always, and there are some who never even admit that they were late. 

Another is Jim's friend who has no legs (can't recall name). This friend joins marathons and runs with his arms. He finishes marathons in 7 days or so. Organizers would leave the 'stops' open for him. He'd sleep on the sidewalk to rest and when the sun start to rise, he starts walking again. I was almost in tears hearing it. Anyhooo, one day this person approaches the man with no legs and says something like 'oh, you're so great. I can never do what you do. It's amazing.' Jim's friend answers back 'I wish I had your legs.'

These are two of the many great lessons Jim shares with us every Saturday. And because of that, I'd be willing to do 55 push ups than to miss his class.

SPEAKING OF GOAT... Here's the greatest CONCERT of all time...

Fa and I bragging our VIP passes. Special thanks to Cha, Tash and Ellis.

I am still convincing my brother Joop to fly to Manila on March 6 so that he can join Fa and I in watching the concert. He refused my offers since he has classes- ayaw niya ma stress. But I will still try. Nevertheless, I am so going bananas and I cannot wait for March 7. Yabadabadoohooo!
