I have never felt as old and out of touch with the "young ones" as I did last Saturday. Hell, I'm only 22!
But with pretty high-school-aged girls screaming their hearts out at bands I barely knew, it wasn't hard to feel ancient. I guess what the Cosmo Bachelor Bash was to me last year (didn't go this year), Candy Fair was to them.
The kids mobbed around Sam as he signed autographs, and swooned as he sang onstage. I didn't understand what all the fuss was about, as I couldn't remember being super kilig when I was at that age.
So I asked my cousin Kristine, who was also as old-ish as I was, "Nung time natin, who made us kilig?" "Patrick Garcia," she answered. And then I understood. I remembered how it was being thirteen and giggly and gaga over cute celebs. PG was my ultimate crush back then, up until I was college age. haha.
The event was a new experience for me, as most of the bazaars I joined were usually purely shopping events. I was ngarag as usual - didn't sleep a wink the night before as I was beading like crazy. My display cabinet was too bulky for the space provided, so I had to use tables instead. So my display sorta looked jumbled and unattractive, but it didn't matter in the end because the Candy girls were trooping to my space nonetheless. It was fun watching them ooh and ahh over the cupcakes, cakes, and frappes.
But I lost a cupcake. :( We don't know if it was stolen, or if the person just didn't realize na hindi pa pala bayad. :( Grabe kasi ang excitement nung mga kids.
And oh, I met Chynna for the first time! She was so sweet. :) She bought a cupcake and cake necklace from me. Her Stellar booth never ran out of customers!
Here are some nakaw pics, taken from Abby and Mai, and Ms Denz of Heartspeak (

Thanks to Brenda, Abby, and Mai who boxed out all the others and hoarded my goodies. They were there pretty early! Kung wala kayong naabutan na cupcakes, cakes, and frappes, sila ang may kasalanan! lol.
Thanks also to all the Candy girls who I met, and to multiply contacts who bought and to everyone who approached me to introduce themselves.
Cheers to Candy Mag and Mirelle! :)
