Last Saturday, January 4, I got the chance to join Peekawoo’s Sunset Roofdeck Party. This is the first event I covered for this year. It was held at The Beacon Tower in Makati City. The venue is perfect for a sunset party. You can really see the beautiful sunset and the Makati City at night.
Peekawoo is a speed dating website, chat roulette and game all in one. This is a website made by girls where girls can feel safe to chat with guys across the globe.
To know more about Peekawoo, you can read my blog post here.
The event started with some pica-pica (I think the organizers love spicy foods) and drinks. Sad to say, there is no BBQs. LOL. I was able to chat with some of the guests and asked them why they joined the mixer. Some said that a friend asked them to do so, some joined because of curiosity and some are there because they are friends of the organizers.
The program started at around 7 pm (which is so late compared to what they announced in the website). The girls were gathered in a certain area.
Ms. Kassy asked the girls to pick three cards. Each card contains a question. Those cards will be our guide in starting a conversation with the guys.
Here’s what I got:
So unlike the usual speed dating, girls are the ones who move on rounds to meet the guys seated on the carpet (I ‘m not sure if it’s a carpet). For me, as a girl, I don’t want this kind of set-up. I’m shy to be the one who will go and start a conversation with a guy. Just an opinion.
At first, I am hesitant to join the speed dating; I just want to cover the event. FYI, this is my first speed dating event ever! But as what the girls I met there say, I must join and have the first hand experience. So that’s it, I tried to talk to a guy. But I’m somewhat disappointed because he’s drunk to talk with me. Haha. Good thing I got a phone call, so I bid goodbye and left him. Haha, meanie. And I stopped doing my round.
Since I failed to have my own experience, I just interviewed the girls there.
One said that it’s fun talking with the drunken guys (which I don’t enjoy), one feel the same way as I am.
Overall, I still enjoy the event. I gained new friends. I was able to chat with other people and learned a lot from them. I saw a cute guy, but wasn’t able to talk with him, maybe in the next Peekawoo event?
I know it is difficult to organize this event but I still look forward to a more organized one. :)
To those who failed to attend this event, but would love to, to those who love to talk with strangers, and to those who want to try speed dating, you can check Peekawoo for further events. I saw in their site that they’re cooking’ something this February, a Spark’s Fair. Let's see if there's a spark in there! :)
But if you feel shy to join an actual speed dating, you can try the Peekawoo app and date virtually. :D
