Last Wednesday was my second "public exposure" since I started my Synchro "career" in October 2003. Based on the feedback, the spectators were thrilled. And the advertising agency which hired us was so impressed that they promised to contact us again for future projects.

Unfortunately though, the camera that I brought malfunctioned early, so my friend was not able to take pictures of the actual performance. What I have now are the only two pictures (uneven in size, sorry!) which my camera was able to capture. Atleast you'll have an idea of how entertaining we looked like.

Logically, we used waterproof make-up and waterproof hair-firming chemicals for the show. And becuase we were so scared that our head-dresses would fall off, we secured them with tons of hair pins on our heads. True enough, we made our final bow without ruining our do's, however, it took me days to bring my hair and my face back to its normal condition.

As for the swimsuits, we had them custom-made by a designer. Each was worth a couple of thousands, but Panasonic sponsored us, so we didn't pay single peso.

And yeah, we were also given a talent fee!

No Taxo. No Physics. No Biochem. And most of all...no Zoo,all because I won't be enrolling this semester at CAS. After much thinking and risk-calculation, I've decided to go LOA to accomplish what I call a "greater and mysterious task".

When I would be coming back to UP, I am not yet sure. It might not even happen. But whatever the case would be, I shall be forever grateful for everything that has happened to me during the entire school year and a half.
