A first of two parts! Sharing with you guys a photodiary of last week’s Times Square Bazaar (Day 1). 

The Times Square Bazaar is organized by the Business Management Society of DLSU and after receiving an invitation to join, I immediately said yes because I wanted to push myself to work at the start of 2013.

It was pretty stressful to prepare all these in a span of a month and a half but gladly I was able to squeeze it in my set of priorities. Sometimes I neglect my work duties and end up regretting after. Running a business is pretty fun, actually! 

Check out my booth design below!

…O M G yes they wrote H.E.A.R.T. (S) and I laughed a lot

Meet the boys of h.e.a.r.t. - Rolly and Vic, two of my closest friends from Adver :-) They actually volunteered to help me out on both days (all day, mind you!) which was really awesome because we all had a blast! It was such a sweet gesture since I don’t usually have any companions when I man the booth 24/7 (which is boring, honestly). Thanks you guys :)

The clingy foursome - they all helped me with accounting, booth manning, photo documenting, marketing, and sales (and entertainment, if that counts)! Amaaazing people.

and friends and family who came! 

I was also able to meet with some readers and new customers (yay)! Here are a few snippets. Glad to know they all love h.e.a.r.t.!

My compensation for booth manners is giving them good food and apparently, I had no escape since the boys were the ones who bought food for me. Hello (yummy) calories! (Also: my first time to try a double patty burger…NOM) #YOLO

just look at their happy and satisfied faces!

…reposting our polaroid photo because it is *~hipster~* lol

The first day was really tiring. Or maybe that’s just the newbie bazaarista in me since I don’t join a lot of events like these.

Anyhow, I did end up having an awesome time at Mercato after with Adver people.

(Sooo this is kind of new to me ‘cause I don’t have a night life #LOSER)

Yummy foodtrip + perfect night weather + awesome people + YOLO peg music infused car rides while headbanging to Titanium at midnight = win. 

And yes, I celebrated Chinese New Year the non-traditional way. ;)
