yesterday was the first day of the philippine fiesta. it was a whole lot of fun. i (kinda) worked with bank of america, but i didn't do much. i really just walked around with godsiblings. we saved spots on the side of the stage very early just so that we could have a good view of the stars when they came up. and we got pretty good pictures. but then we were pushed back by some stupid guy who's not even filipino. he was just a guard. that really pissed me off, but whatever. haha but when piolo pascual approached our side, i was (pretty much) bumrushed by all the girls in that side. ouch! that hurt. lol but i think my pictures are pretty good. (those up there are the best of each person that i got.) lol it all ended at around 10pm.
just some random thoughts from the fiesta:
- i couldn't help but be very annoyed at the white guard who was pushing us back. he didn't seem to understand that this was a once-in-a-lifetime thing that may not ever happen again. the filipinos there chose to stay in the states, yet they have a right to miss their homeland, which is a big part of the reason of the fiesta. so he should've just let some things go. it wasn't like the stage was gonna collapse. even the black lady guard was like idunno what he's up to.
- some filipinos, they feel like they're the most important person in the world. when you have (what feels like) 900 million people like that at an autograph signing of a very popular actor (such as piolo pascual), that creates a whole lot of mayhem. and angry people. when piolo and pokwang were signing autographs, i couldn't help but stand back and laugh at all the people there, because they were starting to get mad. why? because they felt that they should get an autograph. and when they get it, their egos just skyrocket. not so good, haha!
- the entrance fee and the food and drinks are way too expensive there. the food and drinks are triple the price! jeez. a combo that would cost 5 dollars otherwise cost 9 dollars at the fiesta. almost double! and then a 20oz can of soda that would cost 50 cents outside cost a whole 2 dollars in the fiesta. QUADRUPLE THE PRICE! crazy.
well, there's another day of the fiesta today. we're going late =( which is kinda why i'm not very happy with my parents right now. it's not like we're doing anything at home either ... oh well.
