rocking in cebu

okay, so finally i found time to write something.

actually, erase that. i have been writing a lot in the past few days that i have not squeezed in time to write something here.

anyway, i am in the queen city of the south. that's cebu, of course. the opening of the 19th philippine advertising congress yesterday was rocking! mig ayesa flew in and he sang about 3 songs. he brought the house down.

lea salonga completed the 1-2 punch. she had a duet with mig and they sang the congress' theme. it was a good show.

the sessions were quite long, and tiring. i'm not complaining even if i had to wake up at 5:30 so we could be at the registration early. whew. the organizers were kinda uhm, disorganized. not organized organized. we pre-registered but when we got there, they could not find our names.

so search they did. more searching. finally, they found our names. but no photos, even if we submitted the photos way ahead of the dealine. so we had to line up and have our pics taken. kinda high-tech. oh well.

saw some old friends, former co-workers and college buddies (and crushes). hahaha. i am so dead.

i am at the lobby of the waterfront hotel and i just finished emailing two stories to LA so it could reach them in time for the press day for the weekend edition. i did the stories this afternoon. met with j earlier. he's a friend from LA and i haven't seen him for almost two years. last time i saw him was in san francisco pa. did some catching up.

some kinda star-strucky night. drew arellano was in da house. wazzup, wazzup. hahaha. he was one of the evening's hosts at the dinner sponsored by gma. with him were love anover, jaya, allan k, some starlets...my ears are bleeding with the kapuso theme which kept on playing over and over and over again. also that theme from gma's new koreanovela called jewel in the palace. stop it. stop it. now!

they gave out almost a million pesoses in raffle prizes. i won. i wish. i have no luck at all when it comes to raffles, remember? tough luck.

okidoks, i'll continue my updating...maybe tomorrow. maybe not.
