I found an evening bag that is of the same fabric and color as my purple shoes for this weekend's debut of my niece.  I got it on sale too.   At first, I didn't think it would match but I was hoping that at least be close to the color of shoes.  Its really hard to find a perfect match of accessories unless they come as a set so I was really pleased that they matched.  Its a bit small for me but its okay.  I would just have to make do with what I have.

Sunday will be so hectic.  I was hoping that all I need to do was just show up.  Then, my cousin asked me to take care of the back-up videocam.  Okay as if I know how to work one or ever worked with one.  I am scared that it will look like the movies "The Blairwitch Project" or "Cloverfield" in terms of video quality.  I think the party being in a boat is already worthy of a dose of Bonamine, I dont want them to need another one when they watch the video.  Well, as long as there's a tripod, I should be good.  Then, last weekend, I was informed that we will be going there early to set up the ribbons on the Tiffany chairs.  Great! The ribbons cannot be made in advance because they were not able to borrow one that I can use as a guide.  Making ribbons is not easy.  I got volunteered again to help.  I just hope it will be quick.  Good thing I declined all requests to do people's make-up.  What usually happens is everyone else looks good and I look like it was half-hazardly done which is usually the case.  During Lola's party 2 years ago, I changed at the bathroom at the venue with its poor lighting and all.   This time around I am not going to let it happen.

I enjoy watching Bravo's "Project Runway" and "Make Me A Supermodel".  I like Thursdays because I am usually by my lonesome at home and its that the day Bravo airs the marathon episodes of these shows.  I have the whole night of uninterrupted viewing.   I am rooting for either Jillian or Rami for PR.  I think Christian is really talented but the attitude turns me off.  As for MMAS, I like Perry, Holly, Shannon and Ronnie.  Perry has a lot of potential and between the two girls I think Shannon has what it takes.  Ronnie is so gay which I dont mind but he can pull off being hetero as well.  At least he has range but I am not sure if his "matinee idol" looks would allow him to stay.  I want him to though, he makes the show really interesting.

Magpapaka-showbiz ako...

I didn't think that they would have chemistry.  I was one of those who was apprehensive with this pairing but they ooze chemistry in their series "Lobo".  I am hooked again to a local series.  Last time this happened was still "Sa Piling Mo" =)  I didnt like Angel at first.  I never understood the fuss about her when she was still with the other network.  She didnt know how to act and her movies with RG made me cry my hearts out.  Not because I was moved by the story but it bored me to death.  But when she jumped over the fence, I felt sorry for her because she was really being destroyed.  But she was firm and opted to just shrug off all the negativity thrown at her.  I thought, she looks happy with ABSCBN so theres a really good reason why she switched.  It was a big risk for her especially since she was the "queen" there and theres already a good and steady supply of not only "queens" but "princesses" at ABS but she was sure with her switch.  I was hoping that she would make use of the workshops and personality development seminars that ABS offered.  It looks like she did, watching her in "Lobo" now.  She has more depth and range and she can actually act.

But then again, I guess it didnt hurt that she was paired with Papa P. LOL

(I am going to do my eye makeup like hers for the debut.)
