weekend hangover

i don't know how to start up this day's post. do i give the full detail of each event that happened last weekend? or do i just mention it in passing? oh well, my sleep schedule would be 6pm today so i think i have lots of time in my hands.

FRIDAY.

slept at 1pm woke up at 3pm, so that's 2 hours of sleep. took a shower and went to our meeting place--MCDo, Mall of Asia. i bought 10 sticks of Marlboro Lights because McDo makes wanna drink McFloat and smoke. A cheap version of the cig&coffee spree in Starbucks... only it's soda. i got there at about 5:00, you can tell i was very excited. i was 30 minutes early. i texted Bernz, he said he was at the Foodcourt. in a while he came and joined me. he said "nako, bawal ang yosi at lighter sa loob ng WTC." i said, "talaga? o cge ubusin ko na lang tong lahat habang hinhintay ang iba.." he let out a smirk and said "e pano yung lighter?" he was kind of contemlating...then i said "e di lagay ko na lang sa sapatos ko!" hehehe.. so as we lined up, me, Nikki and rocker-doctor girlfriends, Jackie, Shen "the Emo chic", that girl who's been watching rock awards for a long time (forgot the name) and Bernz... i hid my little black lighter on my shoe. quite a discomfort, if you ask me. but hey, it's worth it. hahahaha!

when we got in,, we were approached by pretty chics in miniskirt, handing us pamphlets from the sponsors. Bernz and Jackie scored an NU sticker... i wonder where i was then. Hrm! there were hoards of cool people, punk kids, socialites... all drawn together on this one hard rockin' event. when we got a a place in the middle, i and doc Nikki decided to line up for beer. it's cool cos they had a literal truck of beer inside the WTC. they had truck full of beer inside WTC. hahahaha! there was also a VIP lounge which is about 15 feet elevated. all the cool people were there.. Phoemela Baranda "she's SO hot!", Asia, and more... The show kicked off with a band who won the Red Horse Muziklaban---HardBoiledEggs; saw them once in MYX LIVE, they were great. PUPIL followed. By then I, Jackie and Shen made our way to the front to we'd be abl to see the people on stage---weee!!! midgets!!! hehe! So we were in front of this BIG Bouncer... one time in the show, that Bouncer freakin' gagged at Shen... everyone at the back were doing moshpits and all, and the three of us were just steady in our own space, headbanging our heads with the music... out of nowhere the Bouncer shouted at Shen saying "ang tigas ng ulo mo ah, sabi'ng haggang jan lang kayo....!!!" blah blah blah.. and we looked at each other with this WTF?!!-face. Clearly that muscle man was just looking for someone to yell at to establish his authority. what a jerk! hmf! anyway.. Kamikazee won the most awards. Mong is still the Guitarist of the Year.. when will that ever change?? haha! uhm.. i didn't aid so much attention to the awards. i focused on the performances. It was Kamikazee's night, Jay was in his most comedic personality. Even Chito decided to just stay in the background... Jay was fuckin' crazy. Dong Abay was also present. hehe. He was wearing this Ifugao costume. it was so fuckin' cute on him! And SANDWICH!!! Myrene was bassist of the year, by the way, Sandwich played DVDX with JAMIR of slapshock... Mong and Raims went stage diving... hahaha! it was so fun! then came... The Dawn... everyone on stage was so wee-happy! their smiles were up until their ears.. especially Buddy Zabala. he's never been that cute before. Jet Pangan was jumping on stage like a popcorn on a hot pot while Raims, Dong Abay, Chito, and Gabby jammed with them. they sang the good ole' The Dawn ditties... it was so memorable... when they were singing SALAMAT, so drawn by the moment, Raims hugged Buddy tightly... it was like a 2-minute hug. i almost cried. haha! below is a snippet of The Dawn's performance, just grabbed this from YouTUbe.



after the gig, we went straight to Bagnaberde---10 steps away from WTC. Freestyle was playing---we couldn't relate, hehe... but we weren't minding them we were so focused on the food we were eating the and talking abouut the highlights of the show.


SATURDAY

still got the NU rock Awards hang over but i pushed myself to wake up at about 7am. i remembered last night JR said Angel was at the hospital, which is a total relief. Good thing Badeth texted me, said she was going as well... so we went looking for the hospital together. When we got there, Angie was okay but pressure about the finances was there. My ole' team mates were there, Fred and John, Irene and someone new i don't recognize... she was really ecstatic with the support she received. well, i believe that's how you'll know who your true friends are---by the people who'll be there with you at your lowest. she was so touched by our presence she couldn't stop talking about it. hehehe. geez. she's just so freakin' hilarious. Jane also came to the hospital. So we talked and talked and talked until i realized it's 5pm and i'm so late to my doctor's appointment. hate to but i had to go.

***NOTE: this is the sad part of leaving a post in complete for almost 2 weeks, i don't recall what happened right after that last sentence. tsk! tsk! memory gap.
