valentine’s day 2008
valentine’s day is still my second favorite event after christmas even if it didn’t start so well this year. a phone call by a friend woke me up at 8am. i answered it because the house helper didn’t tell my friend that i was still sleeping. my friend was asking me to go outside because he has something for me. i was like, are you kidding me? i just woke up and you want me to go outside? he was serious. i wasn’t happy with the request. i just pulled my hair up and didn’t bother changing from my pajamas. my friend gave me chocolates. i should be happy but i guess i woke up at the wrong side of the bed. i didn’t appreciate the gesture that much. after giving me chocolates, he asked if i wanted to have breakfast. i immediately answered no. who would want to eat when you just woke up and you’re all messy. haha. when i went inside the house, i got ready for malacañang. i was happy i was spending part of valentine’s day there. i was invited by a friend to attend the courtesy call of richard carpenter. it was my first time to go to malacañang. it was amazing. i finally saw the president (sorry guys, i really like her) and shook hands with the ignacio bunye. i really like them. i think they’re great.
when i was in high school, joseph estrada was the president and i really wished that he’s not the president when i graduate. my wish came true. during my junior year, edsa 2 happened.
anyway, back to my malacañang story, it was really amazing. people were singing along richard carpenter while he was playing the piano. the president even sang and of course, claire dela fuente sang. she was amazing too. the courtesy call was just quick and there was lunch in the garden after. people serving the food were really nice and cordial. it was really an amazing experience.
