started working on the guilder annual. okay naman, and super fun!! i'm especially excited with the packaging we are planning on. we've actually had test shots done in three studios last wednesday and thursday. after the p&g exam (which was manageable, except for the time allotted), i rushed off to child's play in greenhills. it's a nice enough studio, taking super creative creative pictures!! maiinggit ka sa pix ng models ehh, jubs taking a bath with a rubber duck, france the paqt photographer, joyce's butterfly wings, and ruby's princess with the frog prince pose na super creative din. i'd definitely go for it, but i didn't like their make up job, mejo makapal and it didn't fit the models (i just saw the pictures at mukhang bangkay si france), and their terms were not that flexible (they wouldn't even give us copies of our other pictures). plus, the fact that the contact person was sooo mataray didn't help at all. although my mind was too numb from taking the exam to care, i realized after na, hey wait a minute, you shouldn't have said that to potential customers, and i was just asking some questions. ahh basta, nakakainis siya!! anywaaay, despite heavy traffic and threats of being caught in the middle of a rally, we proceeded to mendiola, which was supposedly closed for motorists, for the next photoshoot session. i had started to contemplate walking with my high heels down the avenue, and was quite disappointed when we got through and actually parked near the studio. pero okay lang pala because wearing business attire made me feel sooo old amidst the uniformed high schoolers and other college people. the test shot was with voyeur visage, may pafrench french affax pa, pronounced as vway^r visazh, and even though some employees themselves didn't pronounce it the way it should be, they make it a point na when they say it, swabe ang dating! and just like what i was expecting, the studio was maarte, maraming ek-ek, kinda jologs, but siyempre fitting pa ren sa image nila, and the people were nice enough. they did great pictures, and had really excellent make-up skills (i'd even go as far as saying i am considering them to do my make-up for my actual picture-taking!!). but their creative pictures were a flop. grabeeee, if you had just seen what they'd done to jubs, they put weird make-up on him (half his face was filled with light blue cream, the other half was painted white, and blue glittery stuff was used to demarcate each half from the other). and that's not even half of it. 'yung pose na pinagawa sa kaniya... with matching corny expression... nakakatakot!! you wouldn't want to look like that in the annual! i wonder pa'no siya nakatagal d'un. =) c joyce naman, they made her wear a sexy fur outfit na super baba ng cut, with matching windy effect. until now, i'm still confused what they were trying to make her portray. si ruby, marami ren kung ano anong binabalot sa katawan niya, like scarves and flowers. they became so fond of putting make-up on our models (na malamang they wouldn't do in the actual photoshoot!!) that it was not until they were told na we should go did they stop. pero siyempre, si roseann and lyzet wanted to have their face and hair done, too, while we were waiting for the models. medyo hassle to, honestly, because i was supposed to wait for all of them to finish, and i really wanted to go home. kahit na gusto ko ren magpalagay ng make-up at magpapicture with them, acads comes first (theoretically!!), and i had a lot of stuff to do and also a deadline to meet that night. well, medyo "nag-inarte" na 'ko at this point. (sorry, roseann and lyzet!!=p) in the end, si lyzet lang ang nakapagpa-make-up. in short, sitting beside the models, some of us looked like shit in the group pictures. medyo nakakapagod, pero masaya naman and fulfilling!! as expected, super traffic on the way home (i should've known, dito kami dumadaan waaay back in high school, when i didn't believe yet that you can actually drive 10 kilometers in metro manila in less than an hour), and even though i can't help thinking about the paper that i still have to finish, medyo nakibonding na ren ako with them. i finally got home at around 7:30pm.. =) and since my mood started to lighten up, i got manong elmer to drive them to philcoa!! =)

I was supposed to go home to Pangasinan with Ged, and my cousin, but my dad "advised" us not too push through with the trip because i's too late already. Instead I sit here in front of my computer just typing away whatever comes to mind at the moment. I'm spending a lot of my time lately editing pictures using Photoshop; I just noticed I do it before studying, like now!! wala lang, it's kinda fulfilling!! I miss my picture-happy high school barkada already!! Isama n'yo ko sa next movie thing!!=) So glad that the 191 (Information Technology) exam is finally over!! Yaaay!! 3 more exams plus some reports to go!! =) I, together with some blockmates ate at KFC right after it!! Had a zinger meal, and a gogo sandwich!! Saraaaap!! =) Had a nice chat with Janrich while waiting for my ride home (he was waiting for someone as well ;). Good thing, I didn't waste my time studying the cases that were discussed in class because the only thing that came out was the framework for making cases. (My prosciutto has arrived!!!=)) It was okay, I guess; I didn't forget much naman... aside from the economies during the Industrial and Information age (which is kinda minor, I think), the 8 pesos I was supposed to pay at the sari-sari store in front of Vinzon's for their yellow paper (this I remembered just now), my interview sheet for 126. And yeah, the 300+ pesos I left lying at the tambayan table.

i've been meaning to make a new blog for the looongest time, but i just didn't have the time. but now, i just felt like making one (yaaaay!!:), even with all the exams fast approaching (the midterms hellweek yet again!!). seriously though, it's kinda funny how i always end up doing things that aren't so important when i don't have much time in my hands. i just can't quit procrastinating. aaargh.
