Last night was a blast at Majoe’s birthday. I organized it… Well co-organized it with Kua Led and finally, I was happy with the outcome of the party. I like how the design turned out even if it wasn’t exactly what I wanted. But it happens all the time. There are times when good ideas never work. I did have a lot of fun last night and I’m proud of myself with what I did.

I’m not going on full details on what happened at the party. But I gotta mention the crazy as cake fight at the end of the party. And I’ll post photos when I get them then hopefully the photos will show you the fun we all had last night. That was the best part of organizing an event – seeing the invited people how much fun they were having. The stress, the troubles and the problems were paid off by just the thank you and seeing the smiles on people’s faces. And the fact that they’re staying a bit longer just because they still don’t want to go.

People say I should be an event organizer. I answer, I don’t like the stress it’s giving me. I need a team with me and money to support this. But somehow, event organizing is my way of fulfilling my love for film because I imagine the event as to how it will appear in a film. It never occured to me to be an event organizer just because when I was a kid, I don’t make parties because I’m scared people won’t show up. It’s very embarassing when I wanted a huge as party and no one shows up. So i never make parties. I do have parties but only random ones like we’ll just think about going to our place and just have a pool party. That I know is going to be small but at least it’s not the embarassing type.

Event organizing is so much work and it takes ages of planning! But I’m surprised that friends actually asks me to help organize their party. It always starts with asking me if I could design the event and turns out, the people I help really needs help with not just the design but the whole thing. I love to help out, really! And I don’t know where all these event ideas are coming from but it’s coming out. It must have been because of too much Hollywood in my head. The parties, award shows, premieres, after parties, launches, fashion shows… I love to party. And luckily when I was growing up, I was able to go to different parties and events of my parents. And my grandma does a lot of parties as well. And also my mom organize events so I get tips from her. Just tips! That’s probably where I get ideas. The social life of my grandma! I swear, if we were in orange county, california or upper east side, manhattan, our family won’t miss all the charities and benefit events and stuff the rich family goes to coz of my grandma. She’s very sociable!

Anyway, so yeah… I’m still not thinking about going on professional events organizer. I’ll still fulfill my dreams of becoming an interior designer and actress before having events organizer as a sideline. But who knows? I might be infected by the family disease where we don’t actually do the career of the degree we finished. Events organizer… Only if it’s in Hollywood!

Photos coming soon! And also, a big shout out to God for being with me last night. Parties are million times better when God is with you and you share it with Him!

It’s 11 o’clock and it’s work night, but whatevs. I wake up pretty late everyday anyway. At least I’m not late for work. Lol… Anyway, I’m just blogging. It’s easter, so happy bunny to everyone. It also means fasting. Right now, I have no idea what I’d do for fasting. I can’t sacrifice my internet time, because I rarely go online and I need to go online seeing as I’m doing the YFC website and is planning on finishing it before camp comes. Maybe that’s why I have free time next week off work. Lol…

Anyway, I won’t blog about camp til it’s actually here. I’m blogging about something real personal… So here goes.

I’ll start with a question: What would you do when you like someone and he only sees you as a friend? One person told me, I shouldn’t waste my time over this person. And a few others encouraged me to admit it to him. The thing is, both do have a point.

And even if I’m not with my whole family in the Philippines, Christmas is still the time to be together and to have an awesome time with friends and family. Here’s my message to all my friends who have been such a great addition and part of my life. 2009 has indeed become the best yer of my life, and thanks to my friends, they made it extra gorgeous! Have a happy Christmas and blessed 2010! Take care and love you all.

love… love is something develops through time.

… love is something you shouldn’t persuade your heart to feel.

… love is something that comes in the right time.

… love is something that takes a while before you see it.

At our house before going to Ira’s [12.02.09]

I’m at Ira’s place at the moment having our sleepover since for like a year now! Hahaha, a dear friend of ours just got back from Australia and it’s cool seeing him again. I missed John sooooo much…

Well, at this moment, I was just looking through facebook not really knowing what to do. I should be sleeping by now since I have to wake up at 8 coz I’m going uni hopping with Ivy and Majoe tomorrow! Err more like later since it’s 2am.

This pretty much my good news two weeks ago when I received an email from Talent Scouts. It’s so cool they considered my application and will be representing me. This is sooooooo super exciting. Friends congratulated… others I know just didn’t bother. So I won’t bother venting here coz I’m excited! I’m having my portfolio photoshoot this saturday and I can’t wait to have the experience. It’s so cool! Sharing pictures might be hard, though, since it’s copyrighted. Hehehe…

Also, not long ago… It was Friday last week (dad’s birthday) I had an audition for Toi Whakaari. I spent the whole time trying to stay focused and keeping my heart rate to normal since I felt like it’s going to fall anytime. I was the last to audition, which means there were 6 other people who auditioned that I had to watch before I had a go. I think I spent the entire time plotting ways on how I can run out of that door and not do it. Thankfully, my feet stayed on the ground and I was able to audition. It was cool when I was doing it. I thought I wouldn’t be able to do it, but I’m proud that I did it. Even if I won’t get in, I’m proud to be able to do the audition. It was my first ever audition, which is why it was a huge deal for me. And what’s great about it, I also met new people. You see, God doesn’t really want us to give things up, especially when we know we love it. And He sprinkles a few more extras on the way.

Well, that night was Angelo’s surprise birthday party. I’m sure you’re very surprised. But I wasn’t able to come, so Angelo, if you’re reading the blog, sorry wasn’t able to come on your 21st. Happy Late Birthday, though! I’m so glad to have you as a friend ;) Thanks for everything and enjoy your 21st year. It’s not that bad ;)

Woops! The last entry was July 6! And it’s now September 1… I missed a whole lot of August!!! Except there isn’t much to share about August. Hmmmm…. Let’s see…

1. I just made a decision to apply in Toi Whakaari. It’s a drama school and hopefully I get in. Auditions are next this month, weekend of Dad’s birthday. I hope that’s a good thing ;) Deadline of application was August 28. I went to the school August 27 and I just can’t help but imagine myself being in the school. I love it. Although there’s nervousness and cowardliness that popped into me when I imagine the audition. Nevertheless, I’m still doing it.

2. My brother’s birthday was 24th and gee! He has his own way of celebrating it. In the Hospital! He turned legal age of 18 (yes, legal to drink, drive and get crazy) and he decided to go to the hospital to celebrate. Lol, there are lots of drugs there! But whatever, it’s his tradition anyway.

3. YFC Fellowship. Ha! It was fun… It was also tiring in the end, coz I have loads of plates to clean. But whatever, it was worth it.

4. We’re to vacate the house in 45 days. And as of now we have less than 45 days. 30-something I guess. Reason is: the owner is going to use the house now. Ehhh, it’s ok. The house doesn’t give us any luck anyway. I was visited by someone or something in my room while I was sleeping three times already. It was beyond CREEPY!!! I never had that back in the Philippines. Let’s see if this new house will give us some luck.

5. I have a new path to take in school next year AGAIN! I think. I’m considering Interior Designing now. BUT i’m not sure… HELP??? Thing is, if i got accepted in Toi Whakaari, then I’m going there NO MATTER WHAT!!! And after three or four years (if I decided to Master in Directing) then I’ll go to University and take up Interior Designing while working as an actress. But if I don’t get in Toi, I’m not sure if I will do Film Studies or Interior Designing…. Another set of questions and decisions to make…. HELP?

Well, that’s it for now. And I think I’m changing designs soon. I’m getting rusty with designing lately. Geezzz… Be back later!

Music: the sound of breeze passing through the trees. It is music to the ears… sometimes.

I just had my crazy moment last weekend. It’s those experiences that you’ll just laugh once you reflect back and look at what had happened. God seriously wants me to crack up laughing no matter what we’re in right now. Like, God wants me to ease up and not think of the bad side of life and just laugh once in a while. (In the family, though, we’re ALWAYS cracking up!) Anyway, here goes with what happened last weekend:

Saturday, we went to Tito Andy’s house for a get together since they just got back from the Philippines. I was completely bored and was hoping all the time I brought the laptop with me. Crazy moment #1: when I wished that I saw my youngest brother playing with a PSP and I borrowed so to lessen the boredom. But there was no Tekken in Carlo’s PSP… so I borrowed Ate Reg’s PSP. Then my brother had this whole thing connecting the two PSPs and we played Tekken. My youngest bro got bored and borrowed Tito Andy’s iTouch. I was like O.O!!! I was like to my brother: Wanna play tekken? Can i borrow? Random, I know. So we swapped. I got all excited inside and played with the iTouch. Ok… Apple always makes me crazy… I’m a mac freak, what can I say? Anyway, crazy coz after wishing I brought the laptop, I actually went online using the iTouch… I know… random… LOL

So anyway, when we went home I got all too excited to work on the new layout of Vanessa-Hudgens.ORG since it’s the first time I’ve done some designing since over a month ago. I boot the laptop and as soon as it reached the password thing, it went blank and closed. I was so gutted when I restarted it never did… O.o I was soooo frustrated I didn’t get a chance to go online and just finish the layout. I tried the power switch million times, but it did not work. My brother knew it wasn’t working, my dad tried it as well. So we pretty much all know that it wasn’t working. See crazy moment #5 below.

I fell asleep at 3am, I think, feeling sooooo bad. The next morning, I was a little late for church… But surprisingly, I was alive. Ha! Well, not a surprise anymore actually. Ever since YFC, I started becoming more alive in church. I was a bad catholic. LOL… Back at home we went looking for the receipt of the laptop so we can have it changed (it’s on warranty for 3 years) but with NO luck! My dad was having a bad mood because he was totally in need of a laptop to look for a job. Not my fault the computer went crazy. So we spent hours since the Saturday night looking for the receipt when…
