AT LONG LAST!!!

I have started this blog at around May, but way before that, I have long expressed my opinion on my support to Pau. "All the way" may be apt, but that is just not enough as a description.

For the longest time, I have wished to talk to Pau personally, steal a peck on the cheek and simple just let him know that I exist. That my perennial support for him is not imaginary in nature. I'm a true-blood, real supporter. No qualms. No restrictions. No limits. No reconsiderations. No conditions.

Today, part of my long-time dream, has come true. I HAVE FINALLY MET PAU!

First, a little overview:
I have been (terribly/incredibly) busy the past weeks since transferring offices (and position, hehehe) and I have unfortunately neglected one of the surviving sources of my happiness: being a paulo-natic. My last post was June and now it's August. It's more than a month since I have expressed my adulation for my (our) demi-god/prince charming/angel/knight. And it made me feel incomplete, although I have only realized that some days ago. I have immersed myself too much on my work (and my boyfriend, whom by the way I have had broken up with already, but that's a different story), that I have forgotten about Pau. And now, with a little time management, I can now juggle my schedule and my Paulo-addiction (please, this is a good type of addiction). So, last week, I was able to peek at Paulo's forum at igma (I think it was a Thursday), and it was then that I found out that Paulo will be appearing at SOP the following Sunday (August 5, 2007). And after asking Paulo about it, I have confirmed it. He is, indeed appearing on the said date! Lo and behold, I had to access all the people I know to find a way to get into the show! I sms-ed Ricola for Manny's number and sought his assistance, which he obliged, and being the semi-paranoid self that I am, I also sms-ed Tivz, and he then, gave me Karl's number who also expressed willingness to help me. I was so excited, I even told Pau about this and he also said that he's willing to meet me on that date.

Two nights of restlessness ensued before Sunday.

Sunday: August 5, 2007:
D-day
You can not imagine how hyper I was on this day. I got up early (for a Sunday) and prepared for SOP. I was off to the studio by 8:00 AM to meet with Karl by 9:00 AM. By 8:20 I was at 711 at Timog to wait for further instructions. So, I left my car to walk at the visitor's gate by 9:00 AM. By past 10:00 AM, I was so restless that I called Karl several times because I was feeling tense with what was going to happen. Thoughts ran through my mind. Will I be able to get in? What if Karl forgot? What if Paulo snobs me? I was finally appeased when I finally met Karl, who was such an angel, and accompanied us (we were with happyjam, denmark and... I'm sorry I can't rattle off your names, I'm slow at this and I easily forget names) to the studio. The place was jampacked! And I started to feel uneasy. How on earth will I get to see Pau with all this ruckus?! Then came Tivz. I started sms-ing him at 9 or 10:00 AM and asked him if he could help me with Pau, and promised to do so. One message from Tivz made my heart leap: at 10:37 AM: "Hnanap k ni pau". I was already inside the studio so I panicked, I started calling Tivz. So he told me to stay put and he will come to me. I was shaking. And then I saw Tivz, he told me to come with him. We went into the GMA building, up to where the rehearsals are being done and there he was... Paulo Avelino. In the flesh.
