A Beauty Pageant - of Bestfriends and Late Nights

Stressed... Friday shift going saturday morning plus one client and then 7 pm event... all with just a little over 30 minutes of shut eye in between equals what people saw stalking the swanky Resorts World Halls on the way to watching the 2010 Mutya ng Pilipnas Pageant.

Stalking through resorts world sans sleep

So, it was me and my best friend... being invited by my partner Jim to one of his events usually means going alone since he's working through the whole time, enter dudes who was pretty much in the same near-comatose situation I am. Which means it was a miracle I got him to go with me at all, what with him being all so busy with work and all.

I had a bad feeling something was going to go wrong... long lines and missing tickets... surprisingly we ended (For us at least) up with very great seats, good thing my beau happened to be stressing over us not having tickets and the lovely Sarah Meier graciously gave us her extra tickets! Big Thanks Sarah!

So there we were, just a preview of the night... Everybody's probably showing the pictures of the winners but hey, I'm just talking about a really cool night with great people, some really cool stars... Oh and a beauty pageant held in Resorts world for the very first time.

More to come!

Weekends

Just a few things a I observed during weekends

- it's never enough
- you work twelve hours on your last day and your not tired or sleepy
- it's never enough
- the next 48 hours become a blur... like you're wacthing TV or surfing and you suddenly think..."Satuday, Sunday or Moday?"
-there's suddenly too many things to do and all of them contending with the overwhelming urge to just sleep the entire weekend away
- I'm scared of letting the entire weekend pass away just sleeping
- you fall asleep and it's the most blissful thing you've ever experienced - after the initial shock of falling asleep for a whole day
- it's never enough

Me on a weekend - minus the worry lines and stress signs... something I wish I could wear to work

But sometimes, in between waking hours and groggy moments you just have to realize that weekdays are just as important... they make weekends all the more special - maybe the one thing I console myself whenever I hear about friends and people in general taking a "break" from work.
