ok... i panicked yesterday... i couldn't access this blog to edit it... i kept getting a wrong password and username message...

anyway... i forgot to include some things in my blog last wednesday about this event i attended. the concept was a rip-off of TheMatrix:Reloaded and the hosts were TERRIBLE!!!! It was a poorly planned event. Here are some excerpts of their booboos:

"i'm sure everyone would like to hear the good NOOSE"

"let's all hear from the horse's mouth"

"our next ispeaker..."

"oo nga, we have steef competition"

"we now turn the floor to"

anyway, on to other matters....

yesterday, i met up with friend-bur. she set-up a meeting with a potential client for an event: the grand opening of a japanese restaurant. the owners were nice, but their friend was an asshole. he didn't have direct investment in the event, he was just the contractor for the construction. he had the gall to ask for an instant event concept and compare us to wedding planners!!!

i looked him in the eye and, as politely as i could, told him that wedding concepts are very easy because they follow a pattern. a launch/grand opening would have a different category all together. he gave us 30 minutes to work on costs and a concept. when we got back, he left for makati. what an ass!

next, i rushed to a meeting with another client. i was told it was an emergency meeting and that it was important. i got there, i wasn't really necessary, they just wanted me to be there to listen in to their rantings about the event.

the thing about this event, it was supposed to have happened in August, when there wouldn't be so many events to compete with. They barely gave me a month to plan out the PR, and they gave me limited information on the project. I'm left recycling one article over and over and over again. And they were complaining about the articles not coming out in the country's leading daily. Not for the lack of follow-ups. The article just got lost somewhere along the way.

anyway, enough about that... i went to this dentist to have my jacket-crown re-attached. i got a sermon from her. yes, a long sermon... so, a 10-minute procedure double in effect.

had dinner with Hun at her friend's place. had so much fun. bad point of the evening, i got a hyperacidity attack. good point of the evening, we had fun. i listened to all the kwento, absorbed everything, learned a lot! then, our other friend who the rumor-mongerer has been attacking, too, came over to tell us what happened when rumor-mongerer called him.

hyperacidity attack drained me me so much that i fell asleep at some point... went home happy... now i have to cram work.

hasta manana!
