Zaturnnah Day!

Had an early start yesterday. Ruby asked me to be present during the matinee of Zsazsa Zaturnnah since people from Unilever will be there to check their first raffle in lieu of the removal of their tarp at the venue. Per usual, Paolo was busy as a bee since there were a lot of late attendees. Ruby arrived a little after the show started. We both went in to watch the remainder of the show after a little catching up on the events at the office that I couldn't stay for early this morning. Tuxqs and Janvier were performing and we were surprised at their chemistry. Nakakakilig! Ate Lanie can't stop gushing. Nar, of course, is better than ever. He even got standing ovations. (for both performances ha!)

We then had a late lunch at Tokyo Tokyo with Paolo who then had to run to the venue since people are already starting to look for him. It was Dennis' show and we were glad at the turn out. Hopefully, ours today will be the same. After the show, we stayed at Starbucks to tally our tickets reserved then off to Malate to pick up the tickets that we left at Pride Exchange. Traffic was horrible! There were a lot of make-shift stages with rock bands performing. Chaotic to say the least. Don't know what the event was and we really didn't stay long to find out. The noise is aggravating my headache. Hehehe. We also dropped by The Library to look for Mamu who wasn't there. Finally decided to head home.

Zsazsa Zaturnnah Soars!

The reviews are in and as expected...people can't get enough of it!

"K Brosas as Zaturnnah is a welcoming experience. When Ada transaforms to ZsaZsa and back-- this time I 'see' one person...I liked how they added more detail in the last part 'Ikaw and Superhero ng Buhay Ko'. Very effective!...Will be back next weekend, the evening of the 24th AND on July 1st matinee with friends from the office. "Can't get enuf ano, Te!!"

Yang

"As usual tawa pa rin ako ng tawa. Di na ata magbabago yun. In fairness, natatawa pa rin naman ako, kahit 164558155794387 times ko na napanood."

Zee

"She (K) gives a different flavor to the role (definitely!) and has an interesting delivery certain scenes...Kalila, Kalila, Kalila ... stellar as always!...Tuxqs was lovely as always! He has this role down to a tee...Nar was a breath of fresh air. I've seen him before in the cast and he seems to be a quiet and shy guy --- and now I see him as Didi. *shocker!* He had big shoes to fill! First Ricci Chan's, then Joey Paras', and guess what? The shoes fit!"

Penny

"Per usual, the play never failed to make everyone laugh. Punchline after punchline, and the new K and Nar tandem was a hit."

See you all there!

Tuesday naman!

I woke up really early today to meet up with Jencarps who's coming home from a late shift. I met up with her at ABS. We then headed over to Kamuning to deliver tickets that Penny ordered. This is my first time to meet her and she's such a joy to talk to. After about an hour of sharing, we went to Fleur de Lys to leave some tickets and have dessert.

My manager informed me that he won't be coming to work becaue he's down with the flu. He instructed me to make sure that we are all well prepared for our presentation at 2:30 to our regional manager. As if by luck, after a few minutes, I received a call from our operations manager that we will be rescheduling our presentation next week since there are clients visiting. Yey! At least I can now relax and enjoy the drink that I ordered.

I then headed to the office and had a meeting re: Sykes sponsorship of Zsazsa Zaturnnah. We were able to finally close the deal. I then talked to Yvette of TP re: all the requirements that they still need before the show opens on Friday. I'm flooded with information and I'm getting confused.

When Ruby arrived, I informed her of what Yvette and I talked about. Hay, as most of my close friends already know, what happened is another long story deserving of another entry all by itself. I headed home really exhausted.

Lunes...walang pasok.

Lunes, celebration ng independence day kaya walang pasok. Sakto!

After lunch, pumunta na ko sa TP para kunin ang ZZZ flyers. Sa isip isip ko, magaan lang naman siya. Aba, tatlong bulto pala siya kaya pinabalik ko ang kapatid ko para iuwi nila ang dalawang bulto. Binitbit ko ang isa magdamag at ang bigat nya!

Hinintay ko si Zshali dun dahil sabi nya wala naman siyang gagawin kaya nagpasama ako. Dahil sa sadyang masyado pang maaga nagpalipas kami ng oras dun. Nakipagkwentuhan kami kay Paolo at ang wealth of knowledge nya tungkol sa broadway musicals ay kamangha-mangha. Nakakatuwa siyang kausap. Nung nagsimula ng pumatak ang ulan ay nagpunta ay nagpaalam na kami ni Zee at humayo na pa-Makati para ibigay ko kay Arnold ang tickets nya.

Pagkatapos ay naglakad naman kami papuntang Enterprise para ibigay naman kay Jennifer ang mga tickets nya. Napaka-init kaya kahit na hindi ganon kalayo eh parang dalawang bundok ang tinawid namin! Parang pagod na pagod na si Zee at ni walang hangin para maginhawaan naman kami ng konti. Nagpalipas kami ng oras sa Bio-Essence yata yun bago nagpuntang BPI para i-meet naman si Ate Yang. Pagkatapos nun, bumalik kaming Greenbelt 3 para makipagmeeting kina Jencarps at Grace. Dun ko pa lang nailapag ang mga flyers. Salamat naman.

Medyo mahaba ang diskusyon dahil naguguluhan pa sila sa set-up pero naging maayos naman ang lahat. Nakauwi ako ng mga alas-dose ngunit di pa ko nakapagpahinga. Alas-tres na dahil sa dami ng dapat pang ayusin at i-audit. Ang sakit na ng likod ko!

Ramblings...kung ano ano...wala lang!

I know that we still have a lot of work to do for Zsazsa but for the meantime, I'll forego promoting it.

I didn't go to church today since I got home at around 3am after the leafletting and went to bed at nearly 5am (?). I woke up at around 9am and had breakfast with Zee who spent the night over. Since she's not familiar with the area, I accompanied her to the LRT station which was one ride away.

When I got home I remembered that I still had to submit the press release of ZZZ to www.pep.ph so I immediately worked on that and went back to bed.

At around that time, bayantel called up to check if I already have my internet back up. Unfortunately, my brother can't wake me up as I was already in a deep state of sleep. (Officially, one week na kong walng internet! Asar ang bayantel. I have to set-up my PC out of my room and use Shobe's PLDT connection which is way faster. Ang download speed ko dito eh nasa 70kbps, yung bayantel, pinaka-mabilis na ang 27kbps.) Buti na lang tapos na ang lock-down period so I can have it disconnected tomorrow.

At around 3pm, we then headed to Trinoma to go watch a movie. I love the place. Hindi lang ang ground floor na parang sobrang gulo. Although, there are still a lot of stores that I'm waiting for to open, ok na rin naman. On our watch list ang Old Chang Kee, Krispy Kreme (dahil ako'y doughunt lover!), at Cold Rock (although mahal, kakaiba ang ice cream flavors). Di ko na maisip ang iba.

Had lunch at A Vennetto and stayed at Coffee Bean while waiting for the movie to start. I took the time to start sorting out our ticket sales for ZZZ. Watched Zodiac which felt like a documentary and a movie rolled into one.
