Had a really busy and tiring day. Aarrgh. It doesn't help that I need to write about Lito Camo now. I like Lito as a person. He's really nice and all... but I ain't his target market. Ack. Lately, I have been finding it hard to write about stuff I cannot relate to. Like I always say, my brain cells are dying!!! Help me resuscitate them!

Anyways, I had a really interesting weekend. =) It's been a long time since I had a happy weekend so this is a great development! Hahaha.

I woke up quite early Saturday. As usual, I just loafed around the house and then slept again around 2pm. I woke up with a jolt at 5:30pm. Kse I promised Weng I'd go to her house at 5pm for her niece's birthday party. Crap. I'm late! What else is new anyway? Hehe. So with a rush, I got ready and literally flew to her house. Good thing she lives near lang.

After the children's party (hehehe), we went to Glorietta to shop. I bought gifts for Gloc-9's twins. I'm ninang kse. Then I shopped for other stuff pa. I'm not a shopping person but somehow I felt like shopping lang. Made me happy afterwards so it's all good. =) After dinner, we went to Anna's and hung out with Ricio, Ysa and Ricio's sister (forgot her name sorry!). Played some games and drank... coffee! Haha. Ricio was drinking beer. He wanted me to drink as well but I told him I had a christening to attend to the next day so he didn't push it. We went home around 2am. I wasn't sleepy yet so I read a book. Funny coz I couldn't find anything worthy to be re-read. So I just read Twisted by Jessica Zafra. I actually borrowed the book from Anna that same night. Saw it on her bookshelf and got it.

Anyways, it's so funny to read Jessica Zafra. I've always wanted to be like her. When I was in college, I met her. She even called me at home! Haha. I was a student assistant then at DZUP and it was Diliman Week so we were broadcasting from Bahay ng Alumni. Even then, I was really showbiz... haha. I wanted to have celebrity guests every single day of the week. At that time, Jessica was hot property. She just released the book, she had the program at NU 107 and she was on TV a lot. And she was MY idol hehe. So being the selfish bitch that I am (ehem!), I thought, why don't I call her and ask her to be a guest?

My good friend Kap used to work with her at Woman Today so I got Jessica's pager number from him. I paged her and introduced myself. I left her my number and prayed to all the gods for her to reply. At 10pm that same night, she hasn't called me back and so I thought she was too hung up on herself to mind someone like me -- a student from UP who was obviously a fan. Hehe. But then, around 11:30pm, my phone rang! It was her! Woo hoo. She said she was sorry to be calling so late but she got caught up with a lot of different things so she just found the time to return my call blah blah blah. Anyways, to make a long story short, she said she'll do it and she'll be in UP by 11am the next day. Astig!

At promptly 11am the next day, she appeared at the Bahay ng Alumni. Grunge was a big thing then so she was wearing a black top and black ankle-length skirt with a plaid polo wrapped around her waist. She was wearing Docs too and had her trusty backpack slung over her shoulder. I was kinda starstruck and for a while I was mumbling incoherently. Kakahiya. To think that Jessica is a really smart person. Haha. She was nice naman. None of that bitchy personality showed while she was dealing with us. Maybe she woke up on the right side of the bed that morning and didn't feel like having us kids for breakfast. Hehe. The interview went well -- the interns did the interview and I did the spinning of records. Jessica came up to me and told me that she liked my music. I played Nirvana (of course!), Green Day, Pearl Jam, Temple of the Dog, Candlebox and Live. Of course I made sure I played R.E.M. and Sting... I knew from reading her columns that she likes these acts. I had to suck up! Haha.

That was an experience I will never forget. Imagine one of your life heroes calling you at home?!?! Dig that! Hehe. I'm sure she wouldn't even remember that now. And I'm sure she doesn't remember me. But who cares?

While we're on the subject of celebs calling me at home, one other celebrity who did was Jao Mapa. Haha. He's a cousin of my friend and I guested him in school too. It was his heyday then (Pare Ko and Palibhasa Lalake days). The upperclassmen were all nice and feeling friends with me when I brought Jao in. Duh!

Other celebrities I guested in school were Rico Blanco, Mark Escueta, Medwin Marfil and Rob Sunico (of Club Dredd). Oh yeah, I guested Kap too. Haha. In some alternate universe, Kap is a celeb. Love ya Kap! =)

------------------------------

Sunday morning, I woke up at 10:30am. Again, I was late for another event! The christening of the twins was supposed to be at 10am!!! Double crap.

So once again I literally flew to the venue. Met up with Mitzi in Ortigas and went to the reception in Katipunan. I missed the christening altogether =(. Sad. I'm a bad ninang.

Afterwards, went to Greenhills with Jon. I have been obsessing about a new phone for a couple of months now and decided right there and then to change phones. So now, I'm the proud owner of a 6630! Yey! It's a really kewl phone coz even if it's loaded with ringtones and pics, it doesn't slow down. And the resolution is really neat. It's like having a digital camera. =)

------------------------------

Okay... I just got a call. I've to rush now to Ortigas. I'll just bring the Lito Camo article home. Hah! Good luck to me. I hope I can write it.
