Island Cove
Winston's Summer Blast

The ticket was quite cheap (thanks to Winston!) so we just couldn't pass up the opportunity to see Bamboo perform live. The ticket includes a free beer and a pack of cigarette (FYI: I don't smoke or don't even drink) so it was really a good deal well at least for those who will use the freebies. So after braving the herendous traffic going home to Cavite last friday (due to Strike Revilla's motorcade) we were alas at the venue at exactly 8 pm as the ticket suggested. It was quite disappointing that there were very few people. Just to think na it is THE BAMBOO BAND. Nakakahiya naman baka isipin nila the Cavitenos don't appreciate their music. But anyway siguro kasalanan na rin ng promoters. I saw the banner like what May 1, 3 days before the actual gig. Sayang talaga!

But to our advantage, we get to see the whole thing right at the center next after the bar dividing the topaz tables and chairs to what I understand they refer to as the VIP area. Hehehe!!! Ahhh... the stage, I could still remember that 6 months ago I was doing the Pussy Cat Doll's Beep together with the rest of the team leaders on that stage for the company Xmas Party and now Bamboo will grace that same stage. Hahaha!!! So back to the VIP area, Nathan (bassist) sat down beside this girl the whole evening before their actual set and I was actually inhaling the smoke of his cigarette. Not actually a pretty nice situation to be in.

It's the 7th year for the Winston to feature this kind of concert and finally they chose Island Cove as one of their stop this year. Poetic Sparks was the front act. Soon after, Winner and Asia Agcaoli (yeap, she was there with her skimpy outfit. Just imagine the guys delight!) introduced Sugarfree. Did I mention they were there too? Hahaha!!! Ok naman sila kaso yung vocalist nila naoover power ng mga instruments and often the other member would actually make salo the singing part. Baka may sakit or something.

A couple of naughty games after, Nathan went back stage na. Wilma Doesn't, a true blue Cavitena, entered the VIP area. And then... I want to say the rest is history cause at that point Jase and I were already excited. But here goes, Ira (guitarist) entered the stage and soon after the other members came in...

Ibang klase! Each member of the band is really talented hindi lang si Bamboo lahat sila! And he had no problems sharing the lime light with the rest of his equally talented crew. But to my disappointment naglowbat ang digicam ko samantalang I recharge naman the battery the night before. So Jase settled in taking the video of the whole thing with my v3x instead. They did around 12 songs I think. And Bamboo came to us at countless time so we were able to smell his passion for music up close and personal. Nope I am no groupie... Yung kanta talaga nila ang gusto ko kaya ok na sa akin na wala kaming picture-picture na kasama sya with matching posing. Plus na nga lang ng nakamayan namin sya during the "Awit ng Kabataan".

It was a great performance and I'll be posting the video I guess soon.

Another crossed out item on my wish list.

It's my 3rd week at work and the best thing about it was I already received my first pay check + my signing bonus last friday pa! It was very timing since we used it to pay our one month advance and one month deposit to the new house we're renting. So I was busy over the weekend sa aming paglilipat. Good thing was we had a lot of help. So thank you very much to -- Yaya Nids, Alma, Angge, Ogie, Tito Boboy, Ka Danny and my forever so dependable handyman boyfriend, Jase.

So by May 1 we were almost done unpacking and I was able to squeeze in some time to watch Spiderman 3 at SM Bacoor. The movie was nice but I like Spiderman 2 better. Anywayz, we headed home early since I were expecting visitors si Ninang Nene and cousin Kim to check out the house. And of course my super sungit pamangkin, Elise slept over and had a blast since Dad and I made sure to make her, her own little space to play around so she would visit us often.

Yesterday, I was chatting with my former officemate online and they were convincing me to join the THEIR company outing tomorrow at 8 Waves in Bulacan. Since they said they weren't able to reserve the whole resort, it will still be open to the public. Plus the bus that they were assigned to has still a lot of seats available. Yeap it was a very vicious plan. Hahaha! I almost gave in since of course I wanna hang out with them but having my schedule...baka di na kayanin ng powers ko and magkasakit na ko so I had to turn them down. And made plans na lang to see them next week.

BUT HEY YOU GUYS THANK YOU FOR INVITING ME.

And tonight... Jase and I are going to watch Bamboo and Sugarfree at the Island Cove Resort. So ROCK ON!!!

Yeap...yeap nakaone week na ko sa new employer ko. So let me show you around.

Sigh!!! So I have 3 days to do some stuff before I start with my new employer on Monday. Yesterday morning I went to NBI Carriedo to get my NBI Clearance but since I got a hit, it was due on April 18. It was still early so I rode back the LRT to Vito Cruz station and went to Harrison Plaza. It has been what??? 3 Years since I've been there. It used to my in my daily route way back in college so it was fun to check it out again. Reminiscing ba! Good thing was I had the right timing for their 3-day sale so I snag 3 additional blouses for half the prices. Hehehe...Ok na ang mga pamasok ko it would last na until my next sweldo. I can buy more clothes by then. I did na some shopping at Divi last April 9 kse eh. I waited awhile since I promise Jase I would wait for him after work. So off to MOA I went dahil dun nya ko pinapunta...

I got home a little late na rin and heard that namove pala yung seminar namin in UPITTC on April 29. Ayos! Sakto na ang budget ko to last until my first paycheck with Navitaire. So eto pala yung feeling ng wala kang trabaho! Hihihi...

Sleep all day ala Jason Mraz naman ang drama ko today. I was supposed to go back at HRD for my clearance pero sarap matulog and magpahinga kaya next Saturday na lang siguro tsaka para mas feel ko yung pagkakamiss ko sa kanila and para may mga bago akong kwento.

Wish me luck guys!

Yeap it was a bitter sweet experience for me as I dress up for my last day of work. I tried keeping my composure until the end of the day. But it was really hard to give my final vow at the office since I practically grew up with these people. I will surely miss my team mates and the bratinellas.

And to my SCAD Family, hanggang langit ang pasasalamat ko sa inyo lalong-lalo na sa mga clients ko!
