The day started with an awkward appearance on TV. ONE. Why did I ever dressed down. TWO. I’m not TV material. Chos! It’s all for Twestival Manila though!!! *facepalms self*

So nice of GMA to give us a copy of the interview! The more I saw that I am so awkward on TV! And I will always remember that I’ve been interviewed by Sir Howie Severino! Another *hyperventilate* moment! HAHA! First time eh.
My day started with this very sumptuous brunch – Pork and Chicken Adobo sandwich with quesong puti, salted egg, and potato string fries from LeBistroVert (menu), our venue sponsor. I’ve been wanting to go the restaurant but due to distance issues, I haven’t. All their foodstuff are organic and very fresh! This sandwich is really filling! The quesong puti subtlely complements the Adobo mix. And who’s not gaga for potatoes? (I think I’m going to do a separate post about potatoes!)
Anyway. Onto the prepping for Twestival Manila!
Look at how fab our ticket is! Printed by Lexicon Press…
The prep was a bit hard. We’re kinda lacking in manpower plus the urge to tweet every now and then. Can you blame us, Tweeps?
JeepneED people came over to help! Erika and team, we are so thankful you are there! *there is a lack of BTS pictures… Coming soon though! :]* Here is a rough rundown of all the volunteers:
