feeling pretty woman

on the eve of my birthday, we had a client event at the beverly hilton hotel kung san ginagawa ang golden globe awards. nakakatuwa maexperience ang mga ganitong bagay dahil i am a probinsyana at heart! sabi nga nila, you can take the girl out of the province, but you can't take the province out of the girl!

nagstay kami sa beverly wilshire hotel, kung san shinoot ang isa sa aking pinaka paboritong romantic comedies, ang pretty woman. chel and i stayed in one room, so when we were checking in, i asked for a room with 2 beds...so naghanap ng room ang front desk agent, and then she said, "i found a room for you and i upgraded you to a junior suite." sweet! ang laki ng kwarto namin! we had 2 bathrooms, too. what stood out for me at this hotel was the impeccable service. everyone greeted you and they were not snooty at all. yung ibang mga guest mukhang snooty. heheh i thanked the front desk agent and said it was a wonderful brithday present because i was there to celebrate my birthday. =)

so nagpunta nga kami dun sa client event at the hilton. ok lang naman yung event. na excite lang ako kasi nandun ako sa room where all the famous movie stars would sit and dine. after the event we went drinking with co-workers and clients. puro inuman! i haven't had that much alcohol in a while. buti di ako nalasing.

unfortunately wala akong famous celebrity na nakita. kahit na lahat e tiningnan ko talaga. there was this one guy that looked famous na nakasabay namin sa elevator, unfortunately di namin sya kilala.

because of this experience, sabi ko kay paul balik kami dun next time. the corporate rate is really good kaya di ganon kasakit sa bulsa, tsaka paminsan minsan lang naman e.

on the day of my birthday, i walked around rodeo drive but i dared not walk into all the expensive stores. alam ko naman na di ako bibili ng kahit ano e. so sa lacoste lang ako pumasok kasi don, alam ko na kaya ko pa ma afford ang mga tinda...pero nandun lang naman ako sa sale section! hehehe =D

anyway, here are some photos....
