MY Vacation 2011

CHAPTER I: The Arrival

A year before, I was already counting the months, days, hours and even minutes. Sobrang excited talaga ako. Sabi ko sa sarili ko, I am really gonna get my times worth. I will have the best vacation... I was really looking forward to it!
Balak ko lang naman na mag-enjoy ako at syempre makapanood ng LIVE sa Party Pilipinas at makita ang mga favorites kong sina DIVA Montelaba at STEVEN Silva. Pero hindi eh...Mas bongga ang nangyari...
Alam kong pupunta sa airport si Ate Jheng. Ito kasi ang first time na magkikita kami sa personal. I was really excited na makita ko sya. Sa FB at sa twitter lang kami nagkakilala pero pakiramdam ko, parang we've been friends for a long time na. Never in my dream and imagination na magiging super special ang pagdating ko sa Pilipinas. No, peepz! Walang banda, walang tarps, walang banderitas... To my surprise, andon sina Diva and Steven, who woke up early that day just to see me! That was a classic. Ni hindi ko nga alam kung ibe-beso ko o yayakapin kasi sa totoo lang, galing ako sa napakahabang byahe at hindi man lang ako nakapag-freshen up because I was in a hurry dahil sobrang delayed nang dumating ang flight ko. I've decided na we can have lunch sa Aristocrat MOA. I was indeed starstrucked! Wow! Iniisip ko, sino ba naman ako para bigyan nila ng pansin ng ganito?
I don't have an exact recall of the things that we talked about during lunch time. I think my head was still floating from the fact that I am home! After sometime, we have to say our goodbyes and promising to see each other again. My cousins, who picked me up at the airport was so impressed saying, "Iba ka! Artista pa ang sumundo sa yo!" hahaha! Sabi ko na lang that never in my wildest dreams have I thought that this will happen to me!

Special thanks to Ate Jheng!!!


Chapter II: My Party Pilipinas Experience


It was April 17 and I have to wake up really early as in 4:00 am early. May usapan kami ni Ate Jheng na manonood ng Party Pilipinas! Of course, super excited ako kasi isa ito sa mga gusto kong gawin ngayong bakasyon ko. It was Steven who will accomodate us. My aunt won't allow me to go to Manila by myself (I know! It's a shame isn't it?) so I have to take Toots with me.
We left the house at around 5:30 am and made it to Manila at around 7am. Made it to GMA Studio at around 7:45am. Too early so we went to the 7-11 near the studio and wait for Ate Jheng there. Aside from us, we were also waiting for Shermaine Malilin, another fan of Diva and Steven. Ate Jheng arrived at around 8:30am then we waited for Steven.
Although I've met Steven and Diva already, hindi ko pa rin maalis sa sarili ko ang ma-excite! Eh super adik kaya ako sa Party Pilipinas kaya this opportunity to watch it Live in the Studio is such a big deal for me. Sinundo kami ni Steven at pinasakay sa kanyang van kaya naman wala kaming kahirap-hirap na nakapasok sa studio. I want to thank Steven for his kind heart and being a gentleman. Hindi kami nahirapan na pumila sa labas at tinatanaw kong malaking utang ng loob ang gesture nyang iyon. Sa init sa Manila, isang malaking pabor ang ginawa nya sa akin. I will forever treasure it in my heart.
Unang bagay na ginawa namin? Syempre hinanap muna namin si Diva! She was in the dressing room waiting to go to the tech rehearsal. Hindi ko na napansin kung sino pa yung ibang nasa room. Basta, kay Diva lang ako naka-focus. Then we went to the studio... Sa totoo lang, mas na-amaze ako sa itsura ng studio kesa sa mga artistang nasasalubong namin! hahaha! Yung design ng stage at yung lightings!
Nah... Sige na nga!!! Syempre na-amaze din ako sa itsura ng mga artists. During the tech rehearsal nakita ko ang itsura ng mga artista habang wala silang mga make-up. Let me enumerate the artists na magaganda kahit walang make-up. Of course, Diva looks prettier in person kahit walang make-up, Steven is cuter in person, peeps; Jolina, Kyla, RAG, Julianne and the members of La Diva looks pretty even without make-up. Rochelle Pangilinan is a very nice surprise. Enzo is really cute and friendly, xlr8 members especially Aki did not disappoint me. Wynwin, Yassi and Mayton are really pretty and very accomodating. Mr. Ogie is really cute. Jay-r, Kris L., Geoff Eigenman, Jay P., Miguel E. are indeed cute guys. Mark Herras looks the same. Kung ano ang nakikita nyo sa TV, yun na! Sef Cadayona, same din. Janno, looks handsome in person. Kaya pala madaming nagkaka-gusto! hahaha! Well, Kylie and Sarah are both tisays. The rest... well don't ask me. I don't wanna say. Ay! Before I forget, Tim Yap is so cute! hahaha! I like him.
We got us a good seat! hahaha! Sabi ng brother ko sa USA, nakita nya ako sa TV, dinaanan ng kamera!
Overall, it was indeed an experience beyond I could ever imagine. I was also able to meet other fans. After the show, we went to a mall (Ate Jheng, I forgot the exact name of the place. Sorry!) I went to Burgoo with Shermaigne, Toots, Hayzel, Georgette, AnJj and Ate Jheng. Diva and Steven wasn't able to go with us kasi Diva has a show pa sa Tarlac and Steven had some errands to do. Wanna know what happened in Burgoo? Here are some links:
