panagbenga rant part 1
February 24, 2008today is Day 2 of the Panagbenga 2008 Grand Parades. Yesterday was the Streetdancing Parade and today is the Parade of Floats. yey. *snicker*
i decided to take the day off yesterday. woke up around 10:30am to catch the Streetdancing parade on live television almost over. good thing the bebe was there to take pictures so il have some to show later. its his job to take the pictures so teehee, i get to lie down while he has to fight with crazy revelers who are envious he gets to watch the parade close up.
and today is the Parde of Floats (quite similar with Pasadena’s Rose Parade). i need to come to the office to make sure everythings’s in place for our booth opening tomorrow when they close Session Road for a week. i don’t ned to be in the office until 9 but i decided that i would not get caught in a web of people clamoring to watch the parade at 8am. i was walking all bundled up (a sweater and a jacket and a muffler) at 7am praying to the high gods that the float parade was cancelled or atleast moved to a later time since its drizzling and all. but hell no. i was 20 paces to session road when all i see are hordes and hordes of people all stuck together trying to be warm amidst the typical morning baguio climate with that bonus sprinkler. i put my ipod to loud and braved the crowd. from the normal 15 mins brisk walk, it took me almost 45 mins just to reach our office building. i listened to Lily Allen while i shoved and pushed myself through the horde.
im so over Panagbenga.
im just looking forward to Session in Bloom, to our information booth and getting to attract as much of our target market as possible.
btw, i might not get the chance to get wasted this weekend. sensiblity…err…work has taken over. maybe after.
teehee!
