Ed's Despedida-Birthday Party

It has finally come. Our last gimmik with Ed for a long time. He's going to stay in Singapore for a LOOONG time because of work.

Ed finally held his despedida/birthday party last night in Pizza Hut Bistro at the Glorietta 4 in Makati. Although the actual night was fun, I'm all EMO-ed up here right now... maybe because it finally sunk in that Ed's gonna be gone for a long while.

Let me recount the day.

I picked up Oninz in McDonald's Q.Ave at around 5pm. We then proceeded to Mark's place where Dale soon followed. Next stop was Donna's house where we picked her up. With the 5 of us, we're off to Glorietta.

7pm, we finally arrived. Ed and his friends are already in there. Surprisingly, Myk got there first! He was calling me earlier, saying he's gonna be late kasi nasa SM North pa daw siya! Haha! And guess what, Myk is SOOOOOOOO happy that night! Kasi he's with his "lady friend" Kate! Hehe! So we finally get to meet Kate. :)

Pay also came in right when we got there. It's great to see that she finally could come. Minsan lang kasi makasama si Pay because her parents are too strict! I missed her so I gave her a big hug! ;p

Another surprising appearance was Trudy. I frankly don't remember the last time I saw Trudy. I think it was 2nd year College or what. She was our classmate in UST, but she moved to Lyceum to shift to Tourism. Thing is, she now works at the DFA (Dept. of Foreign Affairs) and she got to help Ed with his passport. :)

Next to arrive was Che! And she came alone! She came from MOA where she watched a movie and play bowling with her family. Akala ko LQ sila ni Pilep kaya hiwalay sila pumunta! Haha! Turns out, na-overslept si Pilep because he was dead tired from work. ;p

Jem and Drey were the next to arrive. Soon after, Dom and Jeff did.

We finally started eating when after a long while, Pilep finally arrived! As I've said earlier, he overslept. 2pm na kasi siya nakauwi from work, so he tried to catch some sleep. Eh sobrang pagod, late na siya nakabangon. Funny thing was, Che started eating again after Pilep arrived! Hahahaha! ;p


After eating waves and waves of Pizza, the cam-whoring ensued! Haha! There were like 5-6 cameras there, and all were flashing! Haha! And nakakahiya dun sa Pizza Hut management since they're a "fine dining restaurant", and there we were camwhoring all over the place! Hahahaha!

Dinner was finally over and done. Ed bid his highschool friends goodbye. Na-solo na rin namin siya sa wakas! Hehe.

The initial plan was, mag Red Box daw. But plans changed. Pay was fetched by her dad. Drey and Jem had to go muna because it was Jem's mom's birthday. Myk and Kate had to go because may lakad pa raw sila the next day! (Go Myk! Hahaha! ;p)

The rest of us hanged out in Star Bucks instead. Coffee, kwentuhan, tawanan, PSP battles! ;p

After Leslie went home, the rest of us decided to spend the night away at Mark's crib! Dom and Jeff had to go because Dom have to go to work at 1am. She got a flight to Cebu. So we bid them goodbye.

So right that moment, there was: me, Dale, Oninz, Che, Pilep, Mark, Donna, and Ed.

And lahat nagkasya sa kotse ko! Talk about overload! Kandong si Che and Donna sa laps ng respective boyfriends nila! Hahaha! ;p

Buti nalang we got past the police checkpoint without getting noticed! ;p

MARK'S HOUSE
We finally made it here in one piece. Time to continue the party! Hehe! Plan now is to get completely drink the night away and get wasted! Magpakasaya habang kasama pa namin si Ed! ;p

Before all, Ed finally gets to open his birthday presents from us. Che and Pilep gave him a USB full of sentimental pics and videos (that was actually nice, why haven't I thought of that!? ;p). Mark and Donna gave him a shirt from Folded and Hung. Dale gave him a deflated Basketball so he can play in Singapore.

And from me, I gave Ed a black pinstriped coat from Oxygen. I was overly glad that Ed liked my gift. :)

Tagay tagay, sound trip, kwentuhan. After a while, Donna needed to go na so Mark and I drove her home. When we got back, Drey and Jem arrived.

Party continues! Everyone got drunk (I was actually a little tipsy even though I drank in moderation) and had fun. Che was also so drunk that she was seeing triples! She also got to kneel on dog piss! Hahaha! Nagulat din ako when she THREW my camera towards me to catch! Hoy Che! Hindi shock proof yung cam ko ah! Hahaha! ;p

Then finally, Ed delivered a speech to each and everyone. We'll miss you man!

Around 5:30am, we're all preparing to pack up. Ed's staying at Mark's house. Drey and Jem gone home. Chelips, Oninz, and Dale hitched a ride from me. Everyone went home happy, safe and sound.

On a side note, I was kinda tipsy and sleepy at the same time. After I dropped Oninz and Dale in Timog, I was off home. I didn't realize I was going a bit too fast... a little over a hundred!

My eyes were actually dozing off when I was around the Commonwealth. When I closed my eyes, I was in front of Diliman school. When I opened it, I was past Ever Gotesco na! Katakot! Hahaha!

Still made it home in one piece. ;p
