the winner

last thursday (april 7), i attended two events with my sister-the launch of the canon eos 350d and the 24/7 nocturnal awards.

canon launch
- 1st event i went to that night. it was a photographers party...so i barely knew anyone there except for the ladies from the canon marketing team, my sister, and my photographer friend.
- the theme of the event was 'summer'
- musical guests : 10 piece percussion group and a few other bands
- the event had a raffle, food and drinks, freebies etc
- i was only able to stay until the end of the set of the percussion group

thoughts:
great music but no one seemed to get into the groove. yes, my friend and i were sooo wanting to move to the beats but we didn't-if we did, we'd be the only silly pair dancing. the setup and the outfit of the performers and the marketing group matched the theme. i was slightly over dressed for the event :) hehehe most of the attendees were umm...stiff? some of the girls were looking for an artist friend of mine-i wonder why! :) i wanted to win the raffle but had to leave before they drew the winners

news after the event:
i won the raffle! hahaha!!! BUT since i was no longer there, they had to draw another winner. the canon lady who told me, said that she wasn't sure if she should have told me or not but she also said i was lucky. hmm...am i really? so, i won but since i wasn't there, another person became the winner (lucky?!). then again, i'm glad that she told me. i still feel like a winner! hahaha! i did say that i wanted to win the raffle...i should have specified that i wanted to win the raffle so that i can take home the prize!

24/7 nocturnal awards
- 2nd and last event i attended that night. it was the first ever 'nocturnal awards'
- the setup was pretty grand for a small event
- it was a glam award type...very nice! *picture picture*
- the founders of 24/7 are such gracious hosts

how it went:
i was slightly underdressed-but it's ok! :) i knew more people in this event-that's always a good thing. i finally met this guy i wanted to meet-not 'cause i like him...more of, i've been curious who he was-i won't explain. :) some people were asking about one of my talented friends-asking where he was (same guy the girls from the other event was looking for). i had to leave midway during the awards proper and ran into a friend in the parking lot...who was underdressed! so, i walked away feeling slightly good about myself and my outfit! then again, he's a guy...so i'm not sure if i can even compare.

after event thoughts (for both events):
- i didn't plan to do a quick change of outfits it between events...so i just wore something that would fall under the 'passing category.' mental note to self: 'don't do that again!'
- if you want to win, stay...even if it means you'd have to endure some things you'd rather not. hahaha!
- some situations remind me how much a fan (of some of my friends) i am. a number of them have 'presence' which is a reason for me to like being around them and makes me proud of the fact that they stand out just by being who they are. especially when they are remembered for who they are and not just as being my friend. :)
