Bazaar Weekend

I'm so glad it's now over. Now I can just lounge around the house and relax. I ran around for 2 weeks preparing for our 1st bazaar event and I'm thankful that it was a success. :) It was super fun too! Here's my crappy documentation of the event. Haha.

Friday - went to Megatent for the ingress...


...with just one garment rack on hand. Mich kept teasing me and making funny "Loser" hand gestures. Thanks to our neighbor (on our left) for the ready wall. Lol.

Wearing: thrifted shorts and cardigan, Tsumori Chisato thrifted top, shoes from Vietnam

Getting our ID's from Rachel. Funny faces.

With my 2 boothmates and ex-FIP classmates--Rech and Lia.

Lia nd Rech had to leave coz Lia's sister had a health issue. So I was left to man our space..


...yey, I now have 2 garment racks! And Mich still kept on making those not anymore funny "Loser" hand gestures. I was sweating like crazy coz there was no airconditioning that time. So while waiting for our other things and while trying hard not to sweat even more I just sat down and goofed around.




































                                                                          rings: Forever 21 & Anagon

                                                                             
Yey, my very first tarpaulin!Haha.


After an hour Rech and Lia came back and our other "equipments" arrived too. And Mich stopped doing the annoying hand gestures. Haha.

 Saturday - Barely had 3 hours of sleep. But here's how our booth looked like when Megatent finally opened to shoppers!


Me with a customer. Naks!

I love how it turned out! Looks so cozy and a little vintagey. Thanks to Rech and Rocky for the furnitures and other decorations and Lia for being the superwoman who made our fitting room and for letting us borrow this metal tent.

At 10:15 am we already had  our first sale. :) Thank you to Mabbiey--the pretty lady (and her nice bf) of Dec food stall!:)


With my muse (Ms. Mannequin)

My sister. Thanks for the help 'te!:)


And an outfit shot in between... (with Manang guard looking and smiling)
Top-thirfted, Shorts-thrifted, Tights - from ebay, Shoes- Soule

I had to leave for a few hours to attend my friend's daughter's christening. Friends come first before profit! =)

 Proud parents - James and Kathy Go-Tan

Little angel.

I got back at around 2 pm. As time passed I was able to take some photos and chat with other bloggers and Chictopians! Thanks to those who swung by our booth!:) 

P.S. Sorry if my face looks stiff in most photos. I really have a problem smiling or posing in front of the camera.

Fellow Chictopian - the lovely Aileen.

I had fun bonding with and talking to you Ana! Let's go out next time! :)

Bestie's more gorgeous in person! Love your outfit B!

Aira of Cintura was so nice and lovely too. :)

  Kookie is gorgeous and super nice too! :)

It was such a tiring day that I slept without changing my clothes or removing my make-up. Lol.
Sunday - I had more sleep this time. More sleep, more energy. There were not much people from 10-1 pm so we passed time by playing with my camera. Hee.


With Ate Neth (my sister's friend) who owns the Nike booth.

The girls making chika inside our booth.

Posing with Ms. Mannequin.

The Nike girls and boys in action.



Our booth in action. Hehe.

Also saw familiar faces! And took photos with them of course. Thanks to my sister and Mich who graciously took the role as my photographer. :)

Ex officemate Tin!


With soon to be hot momma Lloyda and again Ana! :)

I then changed my outfit coz it was so hard to sit on the floor wearing a dress. Lol. Bought my shorts from my boothmates. Haha. The clothes I bought are mostly from them. We mostly spent our time trying on each other's merchandise and swapping. Haha! Fun.

With my friend and ex-Robinsons officemate Kaky! She now works for Paperdolls.:)

I super love Melai!!! And the bf too:) So nice meeting you! Let's meet again sometime.

Some pics from Melai's blog:



With Kryz of Wagw.

I also saw Camille Co of Coexist but wasn't able to take a photo with her coz she was busy man-ing her booth. Rocky G. also came to man our booth with my friend Rech. Thanks for treating us to free milk teas from Tea-ology (which I love)!

Feeling paparazzi shot.

As tall as our tent. Lol.


And some pre-bazaar outfit shot for Chictopia!


Again, thanks to everyone who came! And hope to see you guys again soon. :)

P.S. It's still not late to join my big giveaway!!! Click on the topmost image on my right sidebar. Gow!:)
