After two weeks of being stuck at home with nothing to do but read, sleep, eat and watch FRIENDS, I finally went out of the house and got busy! Yay!
Yesterday was the Kick Off Party for NaNoWriMo Philippines. I was so overwhelmed by the attendance (although I was expecting it) that it was just so awesome. Haha, we managed to fill the back of CBTL in Galleria. I saw some old friends from last year too (Julie! Anne! Sarah! Kage! Mira! Kat!). Awesome afternoon, although I feel bad that I didn’t get to talk to the others since they were so far away. And no group photo too. Boo. But it was fun, and I hope everyone had fun and would find the loot bags useful. :)
One activity we did was to pass around a card with our plot and have people contribute to it and I love the contributions in my card. I haven’t really planned anything for my novel this year yet except for the basic idea and some of the characters are still not yet quite defined, but since the Kick Off is over, I can focus on planning this week. Now, should I install Scrivener already just so I can plan but then use up days in its trial version? I’m still undecided if I will buy that software since I also have StoryMill, which is licensed, but I feel like it’s too complicated for my liking.
Anyway I have a week.
After the kick off, I headed to another party for my friend back in Eastwood. It feels weird to be in he same place where I work on a Saturday night when I don’t have work. Jeez. But it was a fun party, with a few revelations and embarrassing moments. ;) Hah! I love the food too. I had to go home when my brother got there since I already had a headache for laughing so much but I promised to sleep over there next time…when is that next time? As soon as my schedule clears up. :P
Now I’m in the condo, using Captain Tal to go online. I’m going to mass later and then probably go around the mall to look for some funny t-shirts and shoes and hang out there…or watch HSM 3 and then go home. Let’s see where this day goes.
Ha, it’s so fun to go out after being stuck at home for the longest time. :) Happy Sunday everyone!
Liked it? Share it!
