February 23rd- My Official "SPECIAL DAY"

Man was last night a blast. It might be the best party ever thrown for me. I mean who can do better in throwing parties than a TV station!? Yes you heard me. Studio23 threw me a party. Somehow I still can't believe last night did happen.
So how did it start? Well, first of all, I love watching a lot of tv. Maybe that's where I got this personality of mine. I am a certified couch potato. My tv's on 24/7. And yes it did amount to something good.:>

Anyways, I saw this promo at Studio23 about them throwing a party for whoever has the best entry about one's circle of friends. I didn't know what I was thinking, I joined the contest. Amazingly, I won. And after much thought...it's actually the first time I won something worth...well...something. I guess only the people who have the same fate as I do understands the whole deal of never winning anything as precious. It was pretty special for me.
And there was I again...the exhilirating, exhausting, painful wait for the day given. Ugh. I am for one, very bad at being patient. But I survived the wait. Yes I did. And that surprised me too.
Friday night came. My phone kept ringing because of calls from the marketing specialist of the station. Yup...after that impatient wait, me and my friends were actually late! When we arrived we were greeted by this cheery (and surprisingly young) woman who happens to be the lady who'd been calling me...oh and was the one who chose my entry. We were to have dinner at a classy restaurant before we go clubbing.
Damn was I surprised when the sliding doors were opened and celebrities actually did the whole "SURPRISE" thingy! And to tell you the truth, that was also a first that I actually got that. I mean I never thought that on any occasion would I be opening doors to somewhere and people would do the thingy. And add celebrities to that matter. It sure is special to me.
While having dinner, it occured to me that these celebrities ARE people just like us. I mean they were really down-to-earth and all. It just so happens that they are, well, famous. But being a celebrity is just like being a doctor, lawyer, teacher and even janitor. It just a job...with good-pay and too much tv exposure. I actually felt sorry for them because after several hours of cameras stuck at my face, I was actually getting annoyed, what more of them. All they want is to have fun just like we do. So that's exactly what we did. We had fun WITH them, not BECAUSE of them. Pretty much, it was a give and take situation. They got drunk and all just like we did. It was a blast. Yes, it is a first for me to jam with celebrities. Therefore, special it is for both sides. We all ended up looking all wasted and foolish. That's the best part in partying.:>
This time I am really amazed as how life finally became friendly with me. This time its making me feel special. This time its giving me gifts. Maybe its because I put up with all its cruel jokes on me. I don't really know. Waking up today, I felt like everything was a dream. I thought none of them ever happened. But like I told Aine, "the memories would be treasured, if not forever then surely for a long long time." That's because it was so special.
Anyways, this is actually the part I thank everybody for everything...Studio23's Leo, Keby, Diane, Jc Cuadrado, Juddha Paolo, Atom, Patty, Manu, Imago's Tim, Zach, Aia and everyone else at ABS-CBN...THANK YOU VERY MUCH. And to that special woman who made it happen for me...Aine Reyes, the Marketing Specialist, I really don't know how to start thanking you. Love you guys and keep up the good work.
