a different kind of new year

it's my first new year away from home and without my family ( i guess there's always a first time for everything). my teammates and i had to work this new year's eve since we follow the schedule of the US (and our new year's eve is just their 31st)

i thought it was gonna be pretty bad. but honestly, apart from the work, i had a great time. my office mate and i met at around 8pm to catch the new year's eve countdown party between ayala and paseo. it was fun. lotsa bands played and the ones we caught were itchyworms, asin (who played a very loooong set..we kinda walked out in the middle and went to watch the clowns and unicyclist. haha), bamboo (who opened with elisi followed by kung ayaw mo huwag mo and after few songs, ulan. uhm yeah. would've been better if they only played their own songs, i don't think the people kinda minded if they were playing rivermaya songs though. but i kinda did. >_<), sugarfree and sandwich (no marc abaya :( and trish of nu sessioned as guitarist). after that, we had to go back to the office for work (boo). it was already 11 and we had to be in by 10:30. =b a good thing, ella may saison was up next. hee.

around 5 minutes before 12 we all went down to catch the fireworks display. there was a fireworks display near mandarin and one near ayala/paseo. my sneaky officemate and i kinda left our other officemates, walked faster, and went to the ayala new year's eve party =b although the fireworks display that we saw was the one near mandarin. we stayed to watch (it was really a pretty and amazing sight =D) and then moved near the stage to watch parokya. haha. my officemate wanted to see them play so off we went. i also figured if i watched a gig on new year, i'll be watching gigs all year long. hehehe. (just like the belief that if you have money on new year's, you'll have money all year long =D)

we went back to the office after parokya's set. we then had a kinda good media noche, even if it was mostly take out. hehe. i got quite full. then it was work work work. i would have wanted to stay and see more bands such as imago, cambio, sponge cola and orange and lemons but there was work to be done and work does come first before play, right?

i'm then off to laguna later with my family to visit our relatives on our dad's side. i'll probably be sleeping on the way and when we get there, i'll probably be sleeping some more, as i always do when we go there =b haha. i am the sleepaholic ;)
