Ely Buendia and the Eraserheads concert

Stratmark in the morning.
Markprof booboo in the afternoon.

TIME FOR SOME REAL RELAXATION. Tara game, Eraserheads.

Fa and I bought the Patron tickets (Php 1,372 each). We found fa's friends, I tried the portalet, and then I went to Cha and Tash. They were part of the ushers of the VIP area. Due to a miracle and a little begging, Tash's boyfriend got me two green bands a.k.a VIP PASSES.
MAMATAY NA KAYONG LAHAT SA PATRON.

I pulled Fa out of the Patron area and walk galantly to the VIP area. We were with indie bands, mainstream bands like Rivermaya, Orange and Lemons, Kamikazee and moonstar88 to name a few. Celebrities like Sam Oh and Janus del Prado, and UAAP star Wesley Gonzales were very close. (Lalu na si Janus, ang cuuute.)

ALAPAAP. Tae super energy overload hindi ko ma contain. Gaaaawd I waited years and years to watch them live. (videos on my multiply site)


After FRUITCAKE Ely sat on stage, sort of trying to catch his breath.

20 MINUTE BREAK.

The band and Ely's sister went upstage and said that Ely was rushed to the hospital. His health was really in bad condition.

Yun pala, his mom died last Thursday (28th). Puyat pa sila from soundcheck. Hindi kinaya ng puso ni Ely.

Sayang rin they didn't sing PARE KO (omg!!!), Magasin and huling el bimbo. And Overdrive also! But PARE KO is what I was super looking forward to. It's their first song ever. And ewan ko, it's like connected to my childhood. Na feeling ko cool pag alam mo yung song.

We all left silently. Except for a few uneducated and stupid people (and you call yourself fans? hindi naman kayo understanding!!!) Who said 'T*ngina naman kakanta ka lang di ka naman mamamatay nun' I WANTED TO STAB HER RIGHT THEN AND THERE.

Until now I am at a state of shock. As of this writing I have just finished watching the opening song which Fa got on video. Watching it, you wouldn't think it'll end like that. I remember him asking us 'Okay pa ba kayo?' Yun pala siya dapat tanungin. I just wish he gets well. Iiyak ako pag may nangyari pa. jusko Lord wag po.

MAHAL KITA ELY. MAHAL KO ANG ERASERHEADS.

***
1989 pala sila nabuo. 2002 nag disband. If we do the math, I waited ALL MY LIFE to watch the concert. And 6 years for the reunion. GRABE. HISTORY RELIVED AND HISTORY MADE.

gotta love them! Pag ako nagka anak at apo, dapat alam nila ang eHeads songs. Ang pinaka magaling, favorite ko.WAHAHAHAHAHA

Fixation

Lately I've been fixated on a couple of things. Some brought about by stress, the others by sheer love for shopping.

1. Boracay - I am dying to go back to this place. huhuhu I'm so sick of Metro Manila, I need a quick escape. Do you need a quick escape too?

2. Louis Vuitton- This brand is a killer. It's been heavily discussed last week in my Global Marketing class and even before that, my professor would mention it as an example from time to time.

These are my personal favorites.

The LV Mahina XXL in Grey which goes around $4,210 or Php 190 000.
And the Monogram Mini Lin Croisette which is at $1,680 , roughly Php 76,000.


Nakakaloka. Maybe in 10 years,I'll have one. HAHA

3. New round toe pumps. Or shoes in general. - I've always been in love with shoes.
These two pairs are from Missoni, each costs about Php 15, 000.
Of course I'm not spending 15k on a pair of shoes (for now?). Maybe something close to the designs will do. Seeing pretty shoes remind me of Ms. Chin. She always wears pretty shoes. That's what I look forward to every time we have class. Well, she failed to wear something nice once. It was a pair of black thick-strapped sandals that looked below 'nice'. I was sad that day coz her shoes were bad. HAHA (Ms. Chin, I know you 'google' yourself sometimes. Sorry but you don't deserve that hideous pair.)

And finally, fourth: Love. Always have, always will.

yeeeeeech, senti. hahaha

iPhone

So I've had my iPhone since June and I have never fully moved my sim into it for so many reasons.

1. My phone contacts cannot be easily moved therefore I must type each of them on the iPhone.
2. I cannot forward text messages. This is a huge dilemma because of my work in ABAM, i constantly need to forward a lot of messages to different people.
3. Nakakatakot mag text pag nag cocommute.

Now that iPhone is officially here in the Philippines, my iPhone isn't that cool anymore. *sighs* HAHAHA

I searched online that there's a new application that will enable the iPhone to forward messages even to multiple contacts. Finally.

Maybe once i've installed this, I can start little by little into shifting for good. But for now, it's just an iPod and instant camera to me. HAHAHA

Holy fart, there's a white iPhone that'll be available in UK. grrrrrr. I love love love it.
Pero ok lang. Mine's still special as ever coz my dad gave it to me waaay before everyone had it.
I ♥ Daddy.

Weekend work

I decided to stay at home the whole weekend for the following reasons:
1. Austerity measures (a.k.a nagtitipid)
2. Lots to do, gotta start now.
3. Just some good old rest

Allow me to elaborate number 2.
For the past two nights, I have sent numerous emails to suppliers for our feasibility study. I am in charge of the technical study which I believe IS THE HARDEST PART of it. But I'm okay with it, I find the market study hard too, financial study is so out of my league, on the other hand I feel management study is the mildest of them all but still needs a lot of research.

Last night one Philippines-based supplier emailed in response to my inquiry. I was glad he sent feedback but it wasn't exactly what I asked for. He asked how much we needed and that he can send a sample of 2kg of Carrageenan powder on Monday. HALLER DI NAMAN NAMIN KELANGAN. So I thought I'll just ignore it for a while. OMG this morning, at 8 AM, the supplier CALLED ME. I was so groggy, having slept at 4 in the morning already (coz I watched What Women Want, the movie about marketing haha). I had to instantly act very lively and explained to him what our situation was. He was, I bet, disappointed that he wasn't gonna make a sale but I just settled with the fact that Pinoys are just really natural sales people. So ayun, we agreed to communicate via email so that I can include their company in our feasib's database. Half-awake, I forced my mind to sleep again and yes, I woke up at 1 pm. haha

Anyhooo, I mentioned watching What Women Want. Sir Acedera showed us a portion of the movie in class sometime last month. I downloaded it right after but I never had the chance to watch it until last night. I liked the movie, mainly because it's in a marketeer's perspective. Insights, taglines that address the insight, the story/concept boards, amazing. Yay! Sorry if I sound geeky.

On org matters, Congratulations to UP AdCore and to the all-girls team led by Fa for bagging 1st runner up in the ActMedia In-Store Advertising Competition. Yahoooey!

Also, I have to rush a Canon Event. It's set on Sept. 2-5 and OMG it's the last week of August already. Argh! Join the photo contest and win prizes from Canon!

Tomorrow my 172 group shall meet to do two brand frameworks- Wonder and ETC. Gosh, brand framework galooooore. It's really good practice though. But sometimes it feels too much. howell papel, hopefully I put all these to good use and make lots of cash from it. HAHA

Hurray to a productive weekend, y'all!
