am so exhausted...akala ko pa naman rest day ko na...pero ok lang since enjoy din naman. =P
i was so busy with the preparations...then the emcee backed out at the last minute...haha! from the very start, i was doubtful about my sister's choice of emcee...not that i don't like them...kaya lang, from the very start, may problems na...so why pursue with that choice diba? (so pessimistic of me) luckily, krystel, my new found partner in crime, was there to the rescue...she was so good that everyone was laughing during our hosting stint (yeah right...i was emcee too...unfortunately...) things could have been better if we were prepared but i guess it was the best hosting we had done so far...considering that we're not on drugs (coffee is a legal narcotic, you know...) first line pa lang, i stuttered already...shit talaga pero sige pa rin...it was an interactive hosting job with me and krystel towing the microphone line with us and talking to the guests...i guess they liked that portion (especially the attention-loving people...no offense meant guys)
pros of being an emcee
- i have control of the situation...
- it's good exercise (talk about getting sweaty...plus jaw exercise na rin)
- total exposure =P
cons of being an emcee
- i was doing the video shooting and camera taking for the event plus i was hosting so that was a major "watisdat???"
- i can't entertain guests (which i liked to do last night)
- i didn't eat well (i had to settle for 2 glasses of white wine...i got tipsy later at the house...i slept while watching a movie on DVD and woke up talking in words that weren't in the dictio --> this was based on mart and cathe's report)
- i was too blame for the mishaps (like cutting the cake at around 11 pm...bahala na sila magutom...hehe!)
ah basta! i enjoyed the night...i was pretty daw although 2 out of 3 people told me i was getting fat daw...hay! pumayat na nga ako eh...more diet pa siguro...
i also got to open cathe's presents...siyempre joint effort talaga sa house since busy ang lahat...aa and i helped cathe with the presents and mart got to hold everything for us...for those who don't know the two...aa and mart are two guy friends who are currently residing in iloilo, but they were here for cathe's debut...o ha...diba astig?! anyway, puro pink yung presents ni cathe...i feel like i'm wearing pink glasses...as in "pink na naman?!"...gawd! kaka-baliw you know...

- thanks to gayuma for the BTS cake...eh sa yun yung dessert ko ng mga madaling araw na...
general verdict for that night: fun! fun! fun! cathe finally had her digicam (sony cybershot at that), her 18 small cakes, and her dream debut (with all the singers and bands in it)...
can i just share? nakakatawa coz earlier that day, we went to check out the venue...some catering company were preparing in the first floor...my dad was nearly angry because the motif was in blue and gold (my sister's pink and green) and there was no tarpaulin (my sis had a big one made)...yun pala, may party sa second floor and the catering company thought it was on the first floor...60th bday pa yon ha...so there...mix-up lang talaga pero funny talaga...so, lahat ng oldies sa taas while the freshies were in the first floor...dapat sa first floor na lang yung matatanda kasi diba mapapagod silang umakyat pa sa stairs? =P
