2nd Graphika Manila
August 11, 2007
Mall of Asia

forgot to bring my dslr..

thanks to eman for the pics..
and to rose http://roze07.multiply.com for the Php650 discounted tickets, which were regularly sold at Php750..

beybi and i weren’t able to attend the first one which happened last year..
we decided to go last sat in spite of our sat graphic design class, our very hectic schedule, and tons of workload..we felt like we had to go since we needed a break..eww, this is like a gimik for us already but it's still related to school!!!

we were soooo curious AND we were also after the credits that this event can contribute to one of our future subjects..(we need 10 seminars before graduation and this is our first one..we only have four terms to go before grad!)

we were with nico, carlo, some other people, and some stupid fcktards who were too dumb to understand what “no” means..
haaay jologs talaga..their idiocy almost ruined our afternoon ..
..apologies to nico, carlo..for losing their seats and their bag of goodies..

everything went well..except for the registration part..can’t find any logic on why we had to line up twice..and it was a bit stressful and tiring since there was a loooooong line and the temperature was scorching in moa..

post-registration started around 11 am-ish.. and the whole thing ended beyond 7pm..

we were given a 45-min lunchbreak..
beyb, cathy, and i decided to try kitaro which was located nearby since we were too lazy to walk farther..food was disappointing, esp. beyb’s tonkatsu!pretty cheap already but it still doesn't amount your money's worth..have no idea with the other branches though..

we were really expecting that the event would talk about software techniques, tips, and how-to-‘s for dummies but it was more “inspirational” than tutorial. speakers showed off their portfolios and told their story on how they got to where they are right now..impressive sobra but still, "pano yan?anong software ba yan?palagay ko 3d na yan.."

i didn’t actually like the kind of art the speakers are into..though I did loooove steve tirona’s photography..

catherine had to leave early for her nightout..and prolly because of boredom too since she had fallen asleep a couple of times already..some speakers and most of the sponsors gave really boring presentations..

maybe most artists aren’t really gifted when it comes to public speaking since they’re so used to letting their art do the talking :P

beyb, eman, and i were also too stressed to finish the q&a portion at the end though we still wanted to finish the whole thing..(information overload!!!)..and the first question made me really laugh my ass out..(bad girl, tsktsk)

didn't even have the energy to shop after the event..coincidentally bumped into mia faustino..kakamiss sya

the event had minor setbacks but beyb and i absolutely had fun..
maybe this is what fun is like for us who were once normal people but turning into geeks now because of stress, more projects, and much more projects since finals week is already approaching..

we definitely learned something something from the event but, we haven’t really decided if we should come to the next one..
