Came home to find that my #GraphikaManila book has finally arrived! <3
February 1, 2016
I feel so hyped for the past three days, I went to Graphika Manila and had shit ton of information, fun and tiresome queue. Got up so early and barely slept, I took the bus at 6AM and felt really brainless because the night before was a really tiring one since I went straight to my internship or now, my part time job and edited pictures taken by my beautiful boss, really beautiful. She has nice body and all the package you can imagine. In my new Uniqlo ponte dress, I didn’t care to commute in a dress though this was the first time. I hot lots of eye on me and cared less of what they think because I knew someone would wear fancier than me at the event.
Still brainless during the morning, I finally got into my destination and I realized that I was so brainless that I forgot to eat breakfast and I finally had my brain back that I also realized that it’s okay because I ate the cake my sister’s boyfriend, Ishmael brought for her. Because earlier that day, my sister got engaged at 1 AM which was planned by her fiance of course. And that is also the reason that I got so brainless because my sleep was deprived. Upon getting in the venue itself after two hours of queue. I was so ecstatic to finally be inside the conference that have been wait-list in my planner for years.
I got the closest seat possible and got comfortable. Saw people filling up seats then suddenly my internet crush was there, beside me, seated! But with his girlfriend. How perfect could this day get? Then I went out to eat a quick breakfast and asked for my seatmate to reserve my seat since we’re an ephemeral partner-in-crime that time. When I came back, luckily,I still have my seat and my crush still beside me then noticed they got lot bags. It’s my chance to talk to him! I had a short conversation by asking where did he get his bag. Then I got my toki doki unicorn sticker, I felt super special!
Then Valerie went in and had her talk, I just went full ears on her and let alone my surroundings. It went on until I had lunch and went back and more speaker that were absolutely amazing and new to my senses. Then this girl who was seated on my left side was fucking ruining the moment. I get that she was more excited than me but bitch, can you stop moaning like you’re having an orgasm, we get it, you got fucking overwhelmed. But as the speaker went on, I just became indifferent and just put my empathy because this event really deserve that moaning type of appreciation. I went home with my knee high dress and bravely rode the public transportation and this guy was staring me from head to toe throughout the ride. I was fucking pissed because I was tired and done with every maniac bullshit in the world. So as I came near my destination, I sneaked a middle finger sign right at him. I don’t care if that old lady was looking, no respect for you mam, you know I need more respect this time. I fucking yelled at the driver to stop and got the fuck out of that indecency. Went to my bed and absorbed all the sleep I could have.
