Top 5 Things I Missed Last Sunday... But It Was Worth It (i think)

(This is the first post where I'll be using photos which I didn't shoot. You'll see the reason why as you read along the article.)

Awww.. gosh! I hate the Internet! You get to see everything here. The places to go to, movies to watch, blogs to read, music to listen to and schedules of different kinds of events. I'm supposed to be loving that free flowing exchange of information, but as you can see, I am writing in English because it sucks to be informed after they are all finished and you only get to "experience" them in pictures or in articles here in the internet and not the real thing.

Well, as to why i missed these events... Let's just say i met someone. It's nothing really. We spent the whole day together, chatting, laughing and just making silly comments about silly stuff. Too early to tell, but whatever it was, definitely a blast. Oh gosh! I hope he never sees this or else i'm dead!

As for the list, Here are the...

TOP 5 THINGS I MISSED LAST SUNDAY, APRIL 22,'07:
1. World Light Expo 2007
- Why couldn't I have learned about this a month sooner? Why? I am just baffled! Seriously! I was actually inviting some friends to go to SM Mall of Asia to hang out there just because I have been there only once. If I knew that there is something like this in that area, I would have persuaded them easier! And I only get to know about it after the last day, when it was actually here for quite a long time (February 23 - April 22, 2007).

2. Free film showing of "Inconvenient Truth" at SM Cinemas
-Just when I'm finally decided to get serious about my Polar Bear speech (which I know, more and more people are getting annoyed listening to) and advocacy for the environment, I suddenly found out that my inspiration for this advocacy was shown for free in different cinemas!

"April 22, 2007 - 1pm, 3pm and 5pm. Admission is FREE!

Participating branches: Mall of Asia, SM Megamall, SM North Edsa, SM Manila, SM Centerpoint, SM Fairview, SM Southmall, SM San Lazaro, SM Cebu, SM Clark, SM Pampanga, SM Davao"

3. Photographers guesting in RockEd at NU107
- Ah geez! This one has got to hurt the most. I was really looking forward to listening to this one. I even informed some of my friends about it. And yet, when i was in the car back home to P'que. I completely forgot about it. Why? Oh Why?

4. Supposedly Movie night / Heroes marathon with High School Barkada
-Planned by Keno (venue sponsor: bahay nila), Raul (DVD collection sponsor), and I (Miss Never-Say-Die Events Planner of barkada trippings) because people are already missing each other (so this will serve as a reunion actually). And, we want to shift from scary movie marathons to TV series marathons. But, I only got to remember about the plan when I received Keno's YM Offline Message asking me if we are still pushing through with the plan.

5. Arnie was rushed to Makati Med
-My niece was rushed to the hospital due to severe stomach ache that she has been complaining about for days and got worse last saturday evening. It was just sad that i was not there for her, especially since that kid was so brave while she was there. She even bragged to her friends this afternoon how cool it was in the hospital when the doctors "took a picture of her stomach," a.k.a. X-Ray.(Well, at least this one, i was informed throught text message and not the internet. I still hate not being there, though.)
