First of, been uber busy at work since December...back to back classes...co-facilitating with Lea for the Trainer Apprenticehip Program...uptrainings...reports...
Overwhelming but hey gotta deal with it...So therefore..I rarely got the chance to update this blog... A lot of things have happened since my last entry....just to name a few..
- Vren's wedding
- Earfa month
- Shaggedelic reunion
- and others...
But going back to my title....
Considering that I still had 11 VLs remaining from last year and that I can only use it till Marh 31, I looked at our schedule and figured out which dates were available so I can use my VLs. I finally found a week wherein I got time off from training peeps and took that opportunity to file for a leave that would last for days....and weee
So there, I scheduled my VLs from the 12th till the 20th because my next class would start on the 21st.
So, what did i do? Watched Seasons 1 and 2 of Prison Break, continued watching SCRUBS and then came the 16th. We went to Galera once again. Bad part, it was raining, however it was still uber fun..took loads and loads of picture...had a lot of candid shots...met some peeps that I have not seen in months and some for years...
Here we go..
Feb 16, 2008
While waiting for our other friends, i got the courage to have myself inked...(pictures soon to be uploaded)...I got one similar to the baby phat logo with my mom's name on the tail and I got another one on my right arm, a small star, a promise that I finally honored.
Before it started, i was a bit scared... I drank beer and smoked. So I sat there, smiling, mustering enough courage so that we could begin...It didn't hurt when Rommel (the tat artist) was just inking the outline, however, as soon as he started inking the one near my tummy, i suddenly felt dizzy...i suddenly felt the cold sweat trickling down my forehead
...and I knew if i didn't do anything I am on the verge of fainting...I don't know what happened at that point but hell i had to ask him to stop..apparently I turned really pale and we had to move upstairs where it was spacious and I had the chance to lie down...I figured out eventually, that the entire time, when he was filling in the space, i was holding my breath...which of course cut off the circulation in my brain which made me feel dizzy....
So as soon as I got the chance to lie down everything went smoothly and finally after less than an hour I have 2 brand new tats....
