My friend Fannie and I had a booth selling stockings from our online shop Sock & Sole Co. and clothes from my nautical-minded wardrobe last Saturday at the second Bloggers United Bazaar at the Treston International College at Bonifacio Global City. I were so busy that I barely got a chance to look at the other bloggers' stalls (or take decent pictures) but I loved Melai's slick MC-ing and meeting some of our readers (girl who won a prize and said A Plus B in the Sea was her favourite blog, email me?)!
Also, thanks to my usual after-school picker-upper Nail It Salon, I discovered the wonder of matte coral nail polish. It's amazing to have 'frosted glass' nails though, klutz that I am, they were chipped by the end of the day. I think it's time to get one of those loyalty cards that give discounts. :))
All right, I have to admit that half my mind was focussed on the LA Galaxy vs RP national team football match that my brother, Naesa, and I were going to see a few hours later. If you follow me on Twitter or on my meandering micro-blog No Modern Ariadne, you'll know about my obsession with Arsenal FC and Cesc Fabregas' hair. I'm not a huge fan of David Beckham but I can appreciate his skill as a midfielder and a leader, so I was excited to watch him play along with Arsenal arch-nemesis Robbie Keane of Sp*rs extraction.
Boy, what a night.
I ran two blocks to get to the stadium on time, lost my little brother in 13,000-strong crowd, ogled at Azkal #15 (who are you?!) with Naesa, ate hot dogs on the bleachers, saw Beckham get three corners and a goal, and watched a pretty pathetic national team capitulate to LA Galaxy.
Then it was chicken nuggets (mmm, fake food) at a late-night McDo before heading to Bea's birthday party. The theme was a slumber party, and we were the only ones in pyjamas. Dang it, B!

Ooh, I didn't know you were at Bloggers United. It's a shame I couldn't make it! Hope to see ya sometime soon. :)
ReplyDeleteWow! So envious! David Beckham!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great day! :) Even though probably pretty stressful as well.
ReplyDeleteI hate it when there are themed parties and so many people come without a costume. It could be so much fun if everyone participated! ;)

Cool! :) Thank you for this post! :D What a fun weekend for you! :D
ReplyDeletewhat fun!
ReplyDeleteHaha then I will have to admit my football obsession as well!
ReplyDeleteNobody ever thinks that of me, but yes, I love football, but my favourite team is Barca (We have Cesc now!). I think it's so funny how Pique is always mocking him because of his hair. It's pretty long now.
And that flower dress is almost too beautiful to look at.
