Part 7: THE PANIC ATTACKS

i really wanted to have balloons for the party so we asked jomi to finance it. with his money, i went to national to buy balloons. it was a good thing they had the inflation sevice.
on my way back, i had to go against the direction of the wind. mind you, between my dormand the nearest natio is quite a walking distance. so, i had to put up with it all. gahd!
then i got the cd from the cdo pipz. its a good thing it came on time. i was afraid it would come in much much late.
with my heart pounding so hard, it felt it would end me, i went back to the room where wengy was busy doing arrangements and some finishing touches. my heart was racing. i was so damn nervous! i was
so nervous i felt like shaking. and the whole time wengy and i were asking one question to each other: "EXCITED NA KAHA SIYA?" instead of "MAGENJOY KAHA SIYA SA PARTY?" everytime i asked the latter, i
would do so in a very sad and discouraged tone because i really thought she knows about it. my heart was pounding and racing and beating IRREGULARLY. i really felt i would go nuts. wengy was the only one
who would keep me calm. i was sweating and i was shivering. i was so nervous.

i was nervous because i did not understand what to do. i was beginning to get disoriented. first, i was afraid cathie would not enjoy the party. then i had no idea how to entertain the eagles. i was thinking
too much my brain was not functioning.
we started decorating by 6.30 pm.. we asked jomi to help us and he did. by 7pm tito's cathie told me they were already coming. i was going crazy! it was only 7 and they were already coming!
i started texting tita cynthia to coordinate with cathie's tito. i was really going insane. turns out, they were just on the way. the xuhs pipol came except mike because he flew home the day before.
fr. cris was to come a little later.

we were waiting for the other guests. because of the entire 2bU! surprise, we had to rewrite the guest list. we needed a videocam. so, cathie's tita and friend nearby was invited to provide the video coverage.
