sem break log: day 23

don't worry, i've snapped back to reality.

and reality has decided to bite back with a vengeance. it was only today, after a week of practically inactivity and boredom, that it struck me that karla's debut will be on the 13th. and i just so happened to glance at the calendar and surprise surprise: that's next week already. and with school starting this tuesday and moving to manila on monday, that leaves me less than a weekend to get ready.

ask me what i have prepared. my answer? practically nothing. yes, the song is done (probably just some practice later) but it now seems so insignificant compared to the remaining tasks of finding a suitable outfit and purchasing the perfect gift. attire is just semiformal, but what is semiformal for men? and the clincher: her debut's theme is the 50's. a bunch of us plan to wear 50's-inspired outfits to feel the spirit of the theme, but none of us have any idea what 50's-semiformal outfits look like. are there any retro fashionistas out there?

don't even get me started on the gift. i might go to sm north tomorrow to get some ideas, but chances are i come home empty-handed and empty-minded, unsuccessful in buying a gift or even coming up with one. i have a feeling i'll be spending my weeknights in manila this week roaming aimlessly in robinson's place, eyeing for that perfect something to give.

on a weirder note, i am now totally obsessed with the chocolate graham crackers commercial. i rush to the tv when i hear the lines the mom character says (surprising i haven't memorized them yet) and drool equally at the shirt and the dessert. that's a perfectly normal, healthy reaction, right? someone get me the shirt please. too bad hot clothing and luscious desserts for me don't help me any with my debut dilemma.

i know by now that this plea is futile, but someone help me.
