Rollercoaster Ride

Access. Access. Access. The most important thing.

I don’t think there’ll be any other place than New York where everyday, I am, without my asking: invited to a swanky show at Fashion Week, invited to the hyper-exclusive Harvard Club, invited to have dinner with the lifestyle editor of the Philippine Star, given two free tickets to a sold-out concert, offered hotels and homes to stay at, as well as launch events in Chicago, LA and SF, HK and London, get inroduced to the President, the Vice President, and ten thousand other people.

Just today did I realize two things:

1) That in Manila, things are so limited: the circles, the events, the opportunities…access is easy but the distance is short.

2)  That I do have a lot of friends, because I get a lot of perks, from people who simply love to share them with me. Every day and night is eventful. You just have to accept, and go.
