IN MEMORY OF A TALISMAN
tapos na exhibit ni dad, very successful i might add. and people cried going through the exhibit.
we had a IN MEMORY OF A TALISMAN second artists forum, which i massively emailed everyone about again, this time pat hoffie from Australia gave a talk and john batten again flew in from Hong Kong and Pandy Aviado read a letter of reminiscing. many people miss my dad. i hope he realizes that he really was bigger than his body (to quote john mayer).
ava our then-ampon, (sylvia mayuga/krip yusons granddaughter; shes the daughter of aya from defunct jazz band wdouji) came face to face with my half aussie sis Visaya who goes (think aussie accent) "yo' 5 ancha?" in which ava replies (in the usual pinoy child singsong) "Im 5 yearrrs owld!"
AVA
cute! ava stayed with me and mom for like 10 days before going back to her lola sylvia, and we spoiled her like crazy! she'd follow me around and copy what i did (like id go I LOVE THIS SONG everytime i heard a good one on the radio and the next song shed go I LOVE THIS SONG, DO YOU LOVE THIS SONG?) i bought her happy meals at mcdonalds and when id bring her around, my female friends would say "awww parang gusto ko nang magkaanak"
i think i am very patient with kids pala. despite ava's ultra kakulitan, i still miss her.
cant wait for di's baby! get ready for some spoiling, di's baby!

not seeing sarah
i feel pretty bad losing. you know how you feel theres this one thing thats really meant to happen?
jam 88.3 fm had a promo to fly 2 different people to australia to watch sarah mclachlan's concert in sydney. i joined up several times, heard my name announced about 5 different times (different DJs) and yet they only qualified me once. last night at the "grand lutong makaw draw", they only gave me one ballot. doesnt it matter that the person who really wants to go couldnt?
one of the djs went up to me and explained that i was "misinformed", that you really can win-to-qualify-as-finalist ONLY ONCE. for one thing they never had mechanics or posted it or anything. honestly, joining several times makes sense to me, as most contests are like that --- the more entries you have, the better chances or winning. if one really wanted to win, theyd get more entry forms. my several wins should show them that id kill to see sarah (well almost). ohwells.
all day prior to the grand draw, i got that nasty quesy stomach feeling. ive been dreaming about going. i bought a pocket radio 2 weeks before to monitor the contest (they randomly come up with it, every change of DJ has one slot for a winner/finalist. i guess you can say i was up against 74 other people.)
i just got my one month visa too. i wonder what the penalties are for not going. i sent my documents and passports to the aussie embassy's courier service last saturday pm. got them back tuesday pm. talk about speedy! i asked if its ok to expedite & i guess they heeded my request.
im hoping those guys, if they dont have their visas yet, get denied so maybe this time i can win? fuck ok the guys who won (2 diff guys) didn't even look excited. grrrrrrr. rrrroooooowwwrrrrr. :(
i was looking forward to seeing my pretty half-sis (shes 7) again and pat hoffie. and seeing kangaroo jack, of course.
