1.> JayR invited me to join the Press Launch of Rock Candy and am not so glad. I was ecstatic. For the past few JayR events I've not been coming on time or maybe early is the right word, to his thing. I really don't want to waste time waiting like I used to, I'd rather sleep which I'm glad I did. Gates opened at 8:15pm, 02/21/2007 and I came around 9:45pm, groups of media people and showbiz personalities stormed in and celebrated the success of the RnB Prince's new endeavor. There were also privates peeps their like me who attended the launch, only these people had companions I was alone and had nowhere to sit. Good thing Don kept me company for a while and kept telling me that JayR was looking for me. I was outside for first few minutes, JayR saw me after one of his interviews he had outside and greeted me as he always did. Since I lacked sleep I was not really smiling the whole time(not that I really smile a lot) and he thought I wasn't having fun and offered me a drink. He asked me if I was really ok since I was frowned up everytime he bumps at me. JayR invited me inside to check out the bar, while being interviewed, talking business, taking pictures and signing sales drafts, talk about multi-tasking. So I made my way inside while I took my chance for photo ops and pleasuring my eyes with seeing scenes and interesting people inside. I helped myself with hors' dourves and bottle of beer that I later lost count of. Got to chat with Liza and JMuna who talked me into drinking the night away and KL who kept on checking on me. Maybe he was the one that told JayR I wasn't enjoying, but I was really.
When I thought that I was all alone for the night, I actually wasn't. I saw three familiar faces that helped in making the night, Abby and Nina my schoolmates who now works in GMA and Paulo who's now a proud Junior Associate Editor for A-List Magazine, gone far eh? Paulo didn't stay long so I just joined Nina and Abby, I introduced them to JayR as my schoolmates and he was surprised that I have schoolmates in media, wait till he meets and hears of more. He gets to work with those girls, since they're the writers of MMS. So I danced and drank the night with them and even invited me to watch the shooting of MMS the next which was yesterday in Rock Candy. While bonding we tried to spot eligible dates for that night and also made some catching not that we were really close college friends' but maybe that really how things are when you know your schoolmates and you see each other after a long time. The gurls couldn't stay long considering they have a shoot for the next day. So there I was alone again.
Don and his gang was not around anymore they could have given fliers for the upcoming events of the bar or maybe called it the night. I just continued drinking and finally took a chance to chat with JayR and Jimmy, also get to talk with Liza too. Its really been a while since I bonded with them, a few of the nicest peeps I know. I met a photographer who was a little clueless with Pinoy Pop Culture like I really mind, I was busy enjoying the party, he gave me his cards and we chatted for a while. JayR though drunk and dizzy gave MTV a tour to his bar so you guys better catch it. I even got a taste of the camera when JayR pulled me to say hi. It wasn't really a proud moment but it was kinda fun too. JMuna took his slot and continued with shoot for MTV, he was so funny.
It was a very long night, I stayed until around 4am. Dikke gave me a phone call and she also got to congratulate JayR and catched up a little with JMuna, who disappeared suddenly. Finally, we called it the night. Before we left we had little more chat and then went our way home.
2.> So how was your valentine? This was Chimbu's question to me after that V-day, Chimbu by the way is one of my favorite classmate back in grade school and tell you what, that's he's real name. He lives in NJ for the longest time now. After gradeschool graduation we didn't get to communicate until november of last year when I bumped into him in friendster. It was really great catching up, with an old perky friend.
I told him that it was very ordinary day for me, since I'm not hooked, althought I really wanted to scream my lungs out as I see flowers being delivered to my team mates in the office and other giving out chocolates to their beaus. It was the day when PDA's are legal, shit. Yes, I was really jealous with them not because I am single but because I envy them for having first experience of that kind of emotion and relationship that I also loved to have only for first-hand knowledge's sake. Bitter? maybe, or maybe not.
Come to think of it, I have fallen in love and I think I still am. I get to see the person that gives this feeling everyday, crosses my minf everyday and night, get to email and text so often. This person happens to be a very good friend that I thank the Lord for meeting. This person reminds me of a lot of things, and has made a better and stronger person. Thing is, I can not fall in love with this person, why I was asked by this friend of mine not to(read: Jamie Sullivan, A Walk to Remeber). Don't be so sure of yourself dork! Was what I can only tell my friend, when I what I really wanted to say is your too late. Hurt? Not really. I'd rather have the friendship... its the relationship that really last.
carpe diem... ü
