My day started off pretty well... discrete math: good enough, calculus: my first board work, sociology: i paid attention REALLY! haha... Immediately after our classes, Jo, Sol, and I went to the SOCC office to help for the USTv Choice Awards Kick-Off Party. At first, it was easy, get this, get that, copy this, copy that, write this, write that, but, as the time progressed, Jo had to leave us with a task that we're running out of time to finish. First of all, Sol left us at 1pm to attend her PE class and she returned 2 hrs. later. Our afternoon works were filled with repairs and reconstructions; the so-called "lipsticks" and the much-awaited "TV" for the parade... haha... In the end, we finished constructing the "lipsticks", which were supposed to be like a trophy, and fortunately for us the TV stand will NOT be able to support the TV itself so it needed a little help from me and Chino (he's a new friend that I met together with Geli). Well, if you noticed, I italicized some words to show a bit of sarcasm (a LOT actually!). What really occurred is that in order for the TV to be able to stand, Chino and I had to stand up above the platform (i guess it was elevated at 1.5 to 2.5 feet) inside the back of the pickup truck and hold it while it roams around the campus for the parade. It was a heck of an effort but we came out still intact and not injured because of some sort of a fall or something. Of course there were some incidents that we almost fell but luckily, we did not! Thank GOD! After the ride, we were very tired and thirsty so Geli, Chino, and I went to MiniStop for a drink.
"Crowd Control": Our Next Mission.... The program started and then, here comes the artists... I've never realized that it was SOOOO hard to control a crowd whenever there's a celebrity (if you call them one). When the Survivor Castaways arrived, lots of people started to pile up just beside the GMA7 booth. There were only three of us so we lacked manpower to block some fans from cramming the area. The celebrities, however, were very 'within reach' from us. It's like they were just your seat mate or whatever. Fans continued pouring until after the interview, where they (the castaways) left to eat and eventually, to leave the premises. haha... It was hard to assist someone who's known by the public especially when everyone would want to grab a picture with them or an autograph maybe. Among the castaways, i guess 'patani' and kiko were the most favored ones but Emerson and the other girl is not doing bad though. haha... Well, actually, there were a lot of artists but we just focused on the Survivors 'cause we were like assigned to them. There's Mark Herras, Gabby dela Merced, Judha Paolo, etc... At last, the party ended at 9pm.
Overall, the party was a huge success! It was a BLAST! It was worth all the efforts! I was able to meet new friends. Most definitely, I was able to gain some kind of an experience to I-don't-know-what and I'm just really happy that it went so well!
It was a night to remember because of the shooting star that I saw when I was about to leave UST! haha.... *makes a wish* =)
