Last thursday (was it even thursday?) we went to our ex-alma mater to accomplish one of the daring things to do in public..wear drag while actually looking like a cross between a gothic lolita doll and a trying hard okama in the making and have a photoshoot.
we had different sorts of problem to deal with. in order of occurence:
1. No high socks (sold out by the FEU students in Morayta)
2. Surging costs of Veet (Php200? last time i saw it it was P180!)
3. Ineffectivity of Veet in my pubic hair-like growth in my shanks.
4. Fort Santiago guards seeking permit (we’re students, at least Ude is!!!)
5. Belgians lost in Intramuros (and since my uber-friendliness to gaijins took control, we ended up accompanying them to the main road…with pics for remembrance, hehe.)
6. Closed restaurants to dine (so we ended up with McDonalds. I was about to treat my friends with CheeseBurger but Dina demanded the Kung-fu Panda toys exclusively available with The Happy Meal
Anyways, it took the efforts of heaven and earth (add to that the magic of Photoshop) and come the wonderful outcome for the day. Actually, Ritta’s camera-phone pics were surely promising and Ude gave the expected photos. Since it was my blow-out, the price tag was quite heavy for me but it was all worth it! We went home at around nine and it was sure a long day filled with all sorts of emotions and thankfully we finished the day keeping our sanities intact.
