August 29,2008…

The day has started with my morning class running normally and I was starting to feel the nerves for the night’s event. Good thing our classes were cut in half to give way to those who would prepare in full couture battle gear a.k.a. me… just kidding.

After hosting this year’s Capping and Pinning Ceremony, I was invited once again by my school to host the school’s first ever Induction of Officers and Acquaintance Party. I was kind of hesitant at first since I wanted to enjoy the party myself rather than run the entire program. But after learning that I was requested by the president and vice president of our department to host once again, who was I to refuse at a compliment that flattering.

When my classes ended, I was in no hurry since the program was to start at 7pm and when I checked my watch, it was only 11:45 in the morning. When I got home, I spent my hours of waiting by going online and doing absolute randomness. YouTube, Xtube, Lifehouse, Friendster, GSMArena, blogs here and overseas, you name it, I’ve probably visited it. As time passes, I really had no idea why I was starting to have butterflies in my stomach. I never had them when I hosted the Capping event, so why now when it was my second time doing such task? Maybe it was because of the long hours I had to wait for me to get started, or probably the thought of having to sing in front of a crowd after not having done it in the longest time. I really don’t know. All I was sure of, was that my anxiety level was high as it was when I was in high school when I was doing my performances.

Two hours before the time, I started my “red carpet” (cut me some slack for being the frustrated celebrity that I am) regimen by taking a long bath. Followed by picking my outfit, putting make-up (not drag this time LOL), doing my hair, and putting my newly bought gray contact lenses.

Prep…prep…prep…

Done…Done…Done…

I was so happy because this time around, my mom and my sister was with me to see me perform and host. I could tell, despite my mom being sleepy because she just came back from 12 hours of duty with no sleep, how proud she was of me. It was her smile that made my night worth all the anxiety I had to go through. She rarely gives me the smile of approval since I’ve been doing bad in school for the past few semesters LOL, which is why when she gives it away, it matters that I cherish it.

Anyways, enough with the Kodak moment or the Hallmark card, back to me, myself, and I.

When we arrived, I thought a lot of people were there already, being 25 minutes late, but boy was I wrong. Why did I treat La Salette different when it comes to coming on time. Every Filipino is the same as every Filipino, which is why no one could come punctual.

While waiting for the dinner to start, I got a shot of my only friend in my class, Kuya Gilbert, together with my mom on our table.

Okay that may sound familiar from a shampoo commercial, but I’m serious.

I’ve been wanting to make a “sex and the city” article for so long now but can’t seem to write about anything. Then I’ve realized what’s wrong in the picture. What’s wrong was that I’ve been living the same day more than twice and frankly, i’m not happy anymore. It’s getting boring that all I’ve been doing for the past weeks is school, school, and more of school. I haven’t done a haircut in ages, I haven’t designed anything in centuries, and I haven’t gone out with anybody and shared a conversation with in God knows how long.

You just know your life is boring if all you can talk about in your blog are the lives of others. I need to make people talk about me instead of the other way around. LOL that was too narcissistic of me.

So this weekend after my examinations in all my subjects, I’m finally gonna pass that long overdue portfolio in the studios of my choice and hopefully, I get hired even if it’s only as an apprentice. I need all the learning I can get.

Also, I’m preparing myself for another hosting job I’d be doing. After a successful job with my school’s Capping and Pinning Ceremonies, they chose me to host this year’s Acquaintance Party to be held at Leisure Coast Resort. It’s time to pull out my personality on this event and I want people to see the real Abraham Remcyl Viloria. You guys can join the party if you’re willing to pay 775 bucks to serve as your pass.

That’s pretty much it. Take care guys and I miss you all. Hope we can have the opportunity to chat once so we can pick up on each other’s lives. Mwah!
