Sagala ng mga Sikat

wooh! whatta week! my time was fully dedicated for the Sagala preparations! Gawd! this week has been so crazy! But it was also fun. It was my first time to really stay up late in Ateneo because of a certain group project. I think my "usual dismissal" time during the week was around 10 pm. Pukpukan talaga. But i'm still glad that we joined the Sagala. Even though we poured our sweat and blood on that freakin' float, we still had lotsa hella fun! Kahit nagka-initan rin ng ulo at some points. Haha.


Monday:



I think our budget went way past our 8,000 mark. Plus, they still owe me 500 bucks for asking me to bring the Adarna's tail to the tailor shop. And oh, last Monday, I was the "tour guide" in Divisoria! We didn't have classes that day so we did some Sagala preps. I volunteered to scout Divi for costume/props necessities. Gawd, did i get sick. I was already weak to begin with because Dad had cough and shared some cough germs too. And so, after toiling myself under the scorching afternoon sun (there's a reason for that. if only someone arrived earlier), donning stinky ( i swear, it was the worst stench ever. it was like that for about 10 minutes. Mico calls it the Alimasag-gone-bad stench) streets that got us so dizzy, at labas-pasok pa sa mainit at sa malamig, i just didn't know what to feel. 2 years back, I bet i wouldn't mind shopping all over Divisoria(and i mean, the whole place)
all over again, but this time was different. i felt so tired because I wasn't able to buy anything for myself! it is true that you get so pooped when you don't shop for yourself! it's so draining! plus, i was kinda pressured because my blockmates (Mico, Jamir, Pat, and Julia) were relying on me! Let's just say that if I left them there, they won't be able to go home in one piece! haha. And they said Mico and Jamir were going to protect us! that's pish posh. How can they protect me if they can't even handle the smell of Divi? Oh well, I love those guys anyway. :P They can be my shopping buddies in the future! They're kinda metrosexual, so it's a fresh change to see guys go gaga over 168 clothes! haha! it was as if I was the one waiting for them because they were so excited over the clothes! Kami pang mga babae ang nagsabi ng "tara na!"

The highlight of our Divi trip was when Mico was making tawad to the bakla. It was a feather/masquerade shop.

Bakla: o ayan. Maganda mga feather na binebenta ko. Magcanvas ka sa buong Divisoria, sa akin iyong pinakamura dahil ako supplier ng mga iyan. Galing pang Iloilo ito. Nag-eroplano pa nga ito. Sterilized pa. Mura lang. ito, isang tali, 45. 40 na lang bigay ko sa inyo.

Mico: Ate, (rule in making tawad: make sipsip. even if it's obvious that he's far from being female) bawasan niyo naman. Makikita naman po sa Tv e. Teka, taga-iloilo ka? Taga-iloilo rin ako. Saan ka doon? (Mico isn't really from Iloilo. :P ) Sige na...bawasan mo pa. (coaxes the gay with feathers)

Bakla: sige na nga. 25 na lang.

Boo yeah Mico! Your Candy Cutie past is really practical. =))

We also bought lotsa cloth, coconut shells, and wire. Basta, super adventure. Naikot na ata namin buong Divi e.

Naisipan na nga namin bumili na lang ng live chickens para sakyan ni lorraine e. =))

We passed by our house before going back to school and they saw my room! They were so kulit! They kept on playing with my rocket foam launcher! Mico even wanted to bring it to school! haha! And JAmir said that he also has the same exact Pocahontas bedsheet that I have! haha! He still uses it too!

We had our Music fix on our way back to school. Karaoke sa car! It was Jamir's fault. He kept singing! (in a rather unpleasant way) haha! He called me Seana Kingston and called Pat Craiga David!
