after show

IT'S OVEEEEER!!!!!!!!

*collapse*

......

just kidding! i already spent the whole day sleeping. more than 12 hours since i dropped into bed last night. i felt like a fly in one of those sticky fly trap things. i couldn't pull myself out even if i wanted to. ate breakfast, took a looooooooong shower, watched "factory girl" on dvd, played guitar heroes with vince who dropped by a bit, and then fell asleep on the couch again.

the show went great! i was freaking out earlier because i was afraid that the pink bustier would pop off (because i had to re-handstitch the zippers that same afternoon) or my avant garde and gown (being tube dresses) would fall off. but the gown fit perfectly on jp and the avant garde didn't fall off rowena. i love my models. they're all so fabulous.

backstage was absolute chaos. the dressing room was tiny! models were just stripping down carelessly, it was a little awkward to look. i had to tear the zipper open on the bustier too because the next designer in line was in a hurry and we were having a hard time removing it from jeane.

but the clothes looked striking onstage. the gown was... wow. despite the fact that it was the most... "madugo" to do and i didn't really expect it to turn out the way it did. sometimes i wish i made something more elaborate like the others did, but then i didn't have the luxury of a sewer and i didn't want to make my life more difficult than it already was. oh well. at least it's wearable. and when i saw the three of them come out, i had goosebumps. all my hard work... right there onstage. it was nice.

thanks to everyone who came and cheered! even if trinoma was so out of the way and were busy or sick. i heard "woohoos" from where i was watching the show from the sides and i smiled, knowing where it came from. i'll be uploading the pictures and semi-clear video my sister took from her new phone soon. (i want one!!)

but i don't know... i don't want to do another fashion show anymore. (i always say that after one.) honestly, i don't think the stress is worth it for me, considering i don't know what to pursue in fashion really. sure, i realize i feel more alive with stress (which is weird) but my body's taking the bulk of it. the day after our birthday party, i barely slept for almost two weeks already (with back-breaking manual labor to top it off) and i felt like i was going to die... seriously. i had a hard time breathing, i was so dizzy and weak. i didn't have the energy to speak and my heart was roaring in my ears. i had to take a 30-minute nap break that morning and i fervently prayed to God that He wouldn't make my heart stop beating yet. THAT scary.

"so what next?" i've been asked that thrice already by different people. the world? haha. i don't want to think about that yet. i'm postponing it to next week. i've had enough of worrying for now.

FOB on friday!!! what a great way to cap off an exhausting week--by screaming, singing and jumping to patrick, PETE, and the rest of the boys!
