KomikoN 2008

the most frustrating thing about this is that i have waited for a year to attend this event and i actually missed it. i arrived in UP Bahay ng Alumni 30 minutes before 8pm. and everybody's already packing up. good thing, a college friend, batch leader, orgmate and beerkadet Elaine Muncal (Beerkada's Chompy) saw me and gave me FREE copies of Batch 72. Thanks batchhead! :D

i missed Elmer 4 and Trese, the comics i have anticipated the most.

good thing Michael David was there and i was able to get an autographed copy of Kubori Strips for the Soul.

(Boinks, late ka tsktsk! salamat! -David)

i guess i just have to wait for next year for Komikon 2009.

SM Makati

forgive me for blogging my saturday randomly. me and my office friends went to SM Makati to, take note of this, buy me an outfit for my club bureau gimik later that night. Aissa found "the" dress and "the" killer (literally) shoes. Paul, Mark, Lala and Angel were there to support. (sorry guys, even with the dress and shoes, walang booking!)

Club Bureau

Bottoms Up was the event. I was with HS and friend and some of their friends. Darn killer pointed shoes, i think my toes died a rather slow death that night.

in fairness, good music, really cute girls and not so many cute guys. sabi ni mark, kase daw straight guys mga nandun. hehe!

one conclusion: clubbing is really not for me.

poli's birthday celebration (and ASC's roast)

November 16, 2008

yesterday, kid and ria fetched me (using kid's sunroofed van) from the house (just like old times). i've never felt so missed. kase pinagalitan ako ng bonggang bongga ng dalawa na hindi na daw ako nagtetext.

pagdating kina poli. pinagalitan na naman ako ni nathan aka neyt na hindi ako nagrereply (nagrereply kaya ako, mejo mabagal nga lang. hehe!) at hindi pa natatapos dun ang lahat. pati si poli, sinermunan na din ako sa hindi pagtetext.

antagal na naming hindi nagkikita. pero parang magkakasama lang kami ilang araw na ang nakakaraan. i missed my amorsolo pips! ng bonggang bongga!

kaya mula ngayon, sasama na kami sa lahat ng gimik, road trip at pambababae nila.

plans before the end of the year:
nov. 22 - club bureau (invited kami pero kunwari hindi namin sila kilala)
dec. something - xmas party
dec. 27-30 - road trip (na hindi ako papayag na magdrive. haha! with ronron and enton as our sponsor)

"your college/office friends know who you are... but your high school friends are the ones who know why"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY POLI! you'll find your soulmate soon enough. and she will be worth the wait. (in the meantime, andito naman kami. :D)

tago

one good thing about keeping my blog private, is that it IS private.

this year's one hell of a rollercoaster ride for me. professionally, intellectually, socially, and most of all, emotionally. a rumble and tumble of had-beens, what-ifs and over-and-done-with.

i have sighed a million times than last year. i fell and is still falling.

but i am strong. my bestfriend had kept me just that. ria had believed that from the beginning that it makes me believe it myself. even if my heart feels otherwise.

again, i am afraid to show im hurting. but more terrified to know that i really am. i've never been so vulnerable in my life. but yet noone have penetrated.

i hope everything becomes better. and i hope it's soon... because i'm starting to doubt who i am already...

cravings

i've been looking for Bunny Sutra for the longest time. Not only is it a TOUCH swatch, it has cute bunnies in blue briefs and pink lingerie. yes, i know, it's such a silly watch. that's why i deserve it. :)

from what i've researched, it's almost faced out; and i'm afraid it's true. :( MY LAST CHANCE: duty free. good thing my dad's coming home this november. (crossing my fingers!)

of the 5 postsecret books collection released by frank warren, "a lifetime of secrets" and "the secret lives of men and women" are the 2 that i don't have. there are none in fully booked, none in powerbooks.

but they're in my shopping cart; once i received an email and/or text that they're on stock, off i go! kebs na sa bayad sa kuryente, ilaw at bahay. hehehe!

i'm still torn on which gaming console to buy. but survey says it is best to get the xbox 360. but then again, a certain special someone prefers the playstation 3. and my brother backs him up. should i get both? i have to sell my kidney to the black market if i plan to do that. thank God for giving us 2 kidneys :p

this book kills "men are from mars, women are from venus" i read a few snippets from the book nung tumambay ako ng national bookstore. i thought i was gonna get it last year (obviously, that didn't happen).

when you think about it, pwede ko naman sya basahin so loob ng bookstore. you know the feeling for a book, ung tipong you really want to finish reading it, pero okay lang if you can't own it. that's my stand for this book. unfortunately, with my work, i rarely have time to go out. hindi ko tuloy masulit ang open reading privileges sa fully booked. *insert heavy sigh here*

i am such a huge, and i mean HUGE Perry Mason fan. unfortunately, all i have of the Perry Mason series are e-books. even bargain book shops don't have Erle Stanley Gardner's bestselling series anymore. (.. queue in "pangarap ka na lang ba?" music on the background)

oh yes, this is just heaven. a taste bud orgasm. (thanking mackie for the announcement)

so far, this is the only thing i'm sure i can satisfy myself with. it's been 3 years since the last chocolate buffet in peninsula happened. and i definitely won't let this year pass without me gorging on these chocolates. kebs sa added pounds. kebs sa diabetes.

what gets me thru the day...

aside from chocolates and my psp,

are these people....

i've known them since forever.

we've been through flag ceremonies, class projects, field trips, school elections, proms, stalking-celebrities, cutting classes, UAAP rivalry, graduation problems, boyfriends, girlfriends, ex-boyfriends, ex-girlfriends, stressful work, unsuccessful out of town plans and we still can't get enough of each other.

i trust them with my life. they can finish my sentences and man, i hate it when they are sooo right about me. and yes, they know me inside out, and they're still there. talk about pagtiyatiyaga!

*****

just when i thought i'll just breeze through my existence in PS and noone would take notice...

it's actually my whole FD family, but i have to play favorites. i just have to say that, as much hardships and stress that i have to go through to reach where i am now, it is definitely worth it. not only are they some of the smartest, most patient people i know, they are also a lot of fun. and i mean a LOT of fun.
