Weekend Updates =)

This is a long post so brace yourself. =D

Friday

An officemate and friend, Irish, is celebrating her birthday today. (Happy happy!) Part of the celebration is an all-nighter videoke at Red Box. We were already in the videoke mode early that day. Good thing, the bosses were out! Hehe!

Because of a burst pipe, the centralized aircon was not working and we don't have water in the building. This almost dampened our spirits... almost! Actually, that gave us an excuse to eat out... hehe! Lunch was at KFC Blue Wave . Thanks to Jon & Yax for the ride. =)

A few minutes after five, we rushed to GB3 for dinner. The buffet at Big Buddha was delish! Di na kami makatayo! Hehe!

Next stop was Red Box! Woohoo! Five hours of singing, shouting, dancing, jumping and having fun. We retired for the night... err.. morning.

Ara, Dulce, Yax and Irish also brought their cams. Imagine the amount of pics. Hehe!

This has been the highlight of my weekend. I have scheduled the trial with Ara Fernando since I read a co-w@wie’s (Malou) post about her. She was raving about Ara and her service. I was very much interested since I was having difficulty looking for a make-up artist. I told Joven about her and showed him her portfolio. Since her rates are within budget. I immediately contacted her. She was easy to talk to and she always replies immediately.

I asked her to meet me at my sister’s house in Pasig since she lives in Pasig also. I thought it would be easier for her. She was not familiar with my sister’s area so I e-mailed her a map.

She texted me as early as 9:15 AM (our schedule was 10AM). She told me that she’s experiencing traffic in Manggahan. I told her that it was alright since I was still in Guadalupe. We arrived at my sister’s place at exactly 10AM. She was not there. Little minutes after 10, she texted me. She was lost! She was apologetic but I told her no worries since we were not rushing anyway. She told me when she arrived (an hour later) that she reached Ortigas! Good thing, she still arrived in one piece. =)

When we were settled, she asked me what type of hairstyle do I prefer. I told her that I wanted my hair up. I told her I want it malinis meaning no locks of hair on my face or anything. She started blow-drying my hair. She told me that it is still quite short but she said that in June my hair would be perfect for the look I want. =) She also told me that it would be better if we change the way I part my hair. I didn’t know why but it did look better! =D

Throughout the trial, she gave me tips on how to prepare for the big day. She told me not to rebond/relax my hair since it would be better to fix it with all its natural curls. I guess my hair would have to wait till June. She told me not to condition on that day since the hair would be more difficult to manage. She even told me what my best angle and Joven’s best angle was! Buti na lang we complement. =D Joven and I were actually taking pics of each other a few weeks back trying to figure this out. Hehe!

After an hour and a half, here is the result!

I was soo happy with the results. I booked her! I was surprised when we were drawing the terms and conditions, she gave us a lot of plusses! She told us that Joven and the FGs make-up are free. Yey! Plus, on top of the 10% w@w tag discount, she gave us a big one for booking on the spot. Yey again! Before she left, she gave me a thank-you note. When I opened it, I found more tips I would definitely need for the big day. Yey yey!

Soo happy! =D

It’s been months since my sisters and I got together. Both of them have places of their own while I still live with my mom. Over lunch, my sisters talked about going out (we use to do that often) and came up with the idea of going out that night. Since Joven and I were quite tired, we were not too keen with the idea. But since I miss going out with them, we agreed. =)

We went home to catch dinner with my mom and proceeded to Klownz Quezon Ave.

We arrived there a little after 9PM. The show normally starts at this time. They were not there. Apparently, they encountered heavy traffic near SM Megamall. =( We decided to reserve a table for us since people are pouring in.

We did not wait long.

Buti na lang we went out. We had so much fun! We almost fell off our seats laughing! =D

Allan K doing what he does best… yes, he’s holding the man’s nuts!

At the end of the show, we decided to take some pics.

We noticed a number of people flocking the side of the building. Since the car was on that side, we passed by them. Kaya naman pala… andun si Allan K. A number of them were having their pics taken with him. Naubos silang lahat bigla. Natatawa ko but what the heck, trip trip lang. I went near him and he said, “Halika dali! Picture tayo.” Joven was so embarrassed! Hahaha! The things he has to put up to. Hehehe!

Pamatay di ba?!
