My workstation
Little I did realize that it has been a year and AJ, an old face painting client, turned a year older. He has grown taller and a bit more of a talker now than he was before (!) I’ve seen old familiar faces, mostly the celebrant’s friends in school and around his neck of the woods. One thing about celebrating birthdays the British way is it wasn’t really fancy. Just a short and simple celebration with a couple of friends dropping by and spending few hours catching up on things. No wailings, no drunk individuals, no lavish feast, no show-offs. In fact, in the many birthdays I attended in my lifetime, this is one of the simplest but the most intimate one.
I’d like to thank AJ’s parents, Nick and Becca, for having us back last Sunday.
I usually do a lot of drawings and paintings before, either for a hobby, de-stressing myself, or a serious assignment. Aside from that are those extended service plan and services I recommend to other people. I can organize parties from family gatherings to concerts, conceptualize themes, mount up an entire production…I mean that’s how restless my mind can be.
If you need help in organizing yours, drop a note.
Last week, I read Tim Yap’s column in the Philippine Star. It was about tips and suggestions by some people on giving presidentiable Noynoy Aquino a makeover – from head to toe. Most of us grew up seeing Noynoy dressed simply and very casual, a very striking contrast from his fashionista sister, Kris Aquino-Yap. But since power-dressing does really come into play, imaginative socialites and designers shared their precious insights on giving Noynoy worth a second look. I think his days of sporting that industrial equipment supplies seller look are soon be over.
Of course, we know that it wasn’t the outfit nor his looks that endeared him first to most of the Filipinos. It was his simplicity and unassuming character that won us over.
For the first time in my life, I won two concert tickets just by being a hopeless Facebook lurker. All I did was copy and paste a sentence and posted it as a reply to a thread while I was busy working on my live chat software. That’s it. Piece of cake.
I’m a fan of both Martin Nievera and Gary Valenciano since I was still in grade school. Yes, that old. I’ve seen them perform live in separate engagements, and both of them are simply brilliant. Now that they are billed together side by side, that night is going to be remembered as a showcase of incredible talent and wit.
AS1 will be held at SM Mall of Asia concert grounds on September 19. Show starts at 8PM. See you there.
