the beginning of an adventure...

this is how my adventure started...

before going to cebu i decided that i would take the bus instead taking the taxi because it is less expensive. i already set my schedule on what time i should leave and on what mall i should go before going to the airport because i was going to buy doughnuts for my friend. (they don't have krispy kreme in cebu!)

when i told this to my mother she told me that my brother is going to drive me to the airport since theyre going to some place i dont really care... LOL (can you see my sarcasm here?)

so i decided that i'll just buy the doughnuts in the nearby mall. i was literally running because i thought i was going to be late.

and then when i went home i told my mother to drop by to the hardware store so i could say goodbye to my father (at the same time ask for some extra money... hehehehhehehehhe)

when i went to the car my mother got angry at me and shouted on why i didn't close the door. saying that there might be some asshole robbing or something... i was like... wtf???? who is going to rob you in front of our hardware store???

i don't why but my mother is on my irritable mood and she's taking it out on me and my brother...

and yeah... at this moment of argument i sat on the fricking doughnut!

i texted my friend about this and she couldnt stop laughing when we met at the airport...

anyway so there i was at the airport... the ride there was not pleasant with my mom's constant bad mood... turns out she pissed at her friend...

when i got there and showed my ticket... the guy told me... i'm on the wrong airline!

shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and my mother and brother already left!

oh yeah i was gonna be late!!!!!!!!

so i have no choice but rode the taxi...

the problem was the guy said he has a fixed price for certain places... which means he turned his meter off!!!

when we got to the right airport he charged me 4 times the amount of the real price!!!

fuck!!!!!!!!!!!

there goes my extra money from my father!!!

at that moment i was already pissed off and couldnt care less...

so i just pay him off and with my heavy luggage ran to the baggage area...

there i was really pissed off and tired from my mother, the asshole and i want to use the bathroom and my luggage was really heavy...

and then i saw two celebrities!!!

i dont know if you guys know this about me but i'm kinda like stupid when i'm in front of a celebrity...

these two celebrities are like the most famous singers in the philippines...

martin nievera and gary valenciano!!!!

Photobucket

i was in the line for the baggage area and i told the guy to hurry up so i can have a picture taken with these celebrities!!!

who are very nice actually because they welcomed people to take pictures with them! smiling and even joking with them.

when it was my turn i decided to be nice and polite. because there was some people who were kinda rude and just took pictures ofthem without asking. at this point martin already left but it was fine with me because i would rather have a picture taken with gary!!! he is one of my favorite singers!

i told him politely, "is it okay if i take a picture with you? i had a bad day and this would be the highlight of my day."

he agreed!!!! this was the picture. if you can see i look like shit because of the stresses i just experienced that day!

Photobucket

the lady at the back is his wife. who is nice too because she just let his fans take picture with him.

after that picture was taken he told me, "i hope you have a good day!'

i wish more celebrities are like him. he really is genuinely nice. gary v. has been a singer since the 80's and he has been dubbed like one of the best male singer here in the Philippines. until today he is still famous and has a tv show.

after that incident i feel like the negativity in me was gone...

the plane ride was nice and the airplane was great! they had touch screen tv's so i could play games on it! LOL

when i met my friend i was really happy and was really excited to see her after more than a year.

before i went to sleep that night. i realize that my trip was the start of an adventure for me...

a new chapter of my life.. a new me....

the lessons i learned that day was no matter how shitty you have experienced in life... in an instant it can change and you can be happy... it's all about how you see it...

more tomorrow...

keep on blogging!!!

hahahahaha, kakatuwa. nakain pa ba iyung doughnut?

this introduction to your adventure was very fun to read, queenie.

did i ever tell you that my boss was one of the creative people behind martin after dark (i am not sure how old you were when the show started) i worked there when it was on it's last years. kaya ko nakilala si lea. but in all the years i was going to different tv and radio stations during college, and after a year working in tv (majority in abs-cbn) i never met gary v!lol

you look very fresh and cute on the picture actually, not at all stressed. maybe all the running and going in haste pumped you up positively.

looking forward to read the rest of your adventures!

paper: the doughnut was inside the box when i sat on it so it was still okay to eat. it was flat though!!! LOL

actually i remembered that show i think i was in elementary/high school when that show aired... i'm not sure. martin is so nice too. he was really funny. i look fresh because i was drenched in sweat! hhhahhahah with all the running i did!

glad you like my post. i'm gonna post tomorrow or in a couple of days. it depends cuz i'm still busy. but i'll post the rest of my adventures!

Sounds like you had a better ending to what started as a rushed and irritating day. :)

starchini said over 1 year ago ...

Very cool!

queenparanoia said over 1 year ago ...

uniquely: yup i sure did. it was nice that even though i had a bad day it always ended up good...

star: thanks!

hegemone said over 1 year ago ...

Well it sounds like you definitely went through a little he'll to get where you needed to be, and go figure on top of it you sit on the doughnut, lol. Glad you met thar celeb though, that's pretty cool, and I don't think you're the only one who suddenly doesn't know how to act around a celeb, lol. Can't wait to hear more about your trip, and I hope it was smooth from there.

queenparanoia said over 1 year ago ...

hegemone: thanks. why do we act like this when we are in front of a celebrity??? it really boogles my mind knowing they're just humans just like us. anyway i'll blog more if i have time. ive been very busy these days...

wombat said over 1 year ago ...

Well I like the beginning of your adventure (minus the aggrivation and the rush). You had a fantastic encounter to boost your mood, huh?

This sounds so familiar to me! I was at the wrong gate at take-off time once and had to run, too! I had a bad trip back, too, due to bad weather, and I think (but not sure) that a famous tennis star helped me get on another flight. Never mind...just a similar story going on here in my mind)

Just reading along, saying hello and enjoying the story of your exciting times!

wombat: it's exiciting isnt? well i'll post more if i have time. thanks for dropping by wombie!

The sound of an empty wagon
The sad thing about an empty is that there is nothing in it but it makes a lot of noise. The new Republican flavor of the month Herman Cain epitomizes the empty wagon syndrome. His name should be little Herman Jack horner Cain both loud and vain sat in
