Che's Birthday

It's been a while since I last posted an entry. I've been busy, under stressed, and under nourished (lost 10 lbs!).

So what happened these past weeks? Well, there's the goddamn thesis, uncooperative group mates, me losing my cool... majority of which is negative. The only bright spots were Che's birthday celebrations. ;p


Che's Inuman at Mark's house


Mark organized a "surprise party" for Che in his house. Haha! Funny because Mark posted the plan (intentionally) for the surprise party on our e-groups where Che is also a member! lol

So the party was slated last last Saturday. I didn't want to bring a car because the radiator is still acting up and I don't want to experience another overheat. But when I was about to go, the rain poured, leaving me no choice but to take the car.

And true enough, I had an overheat! I made a wrong turn (in short, naligaw) near Mark's house na. I entered a narrow street which turned out to be a one way road (and I'm on the opposing direction). The woman I asked for directions told me it was the way towards Union Sibika (Mark's street). Imagine my surprise when an Adventure came straight at my way!

I had no choice but to go back in reverse... just imagine how annoying it was with all those cars who double parked making the road much much narrower.

What's more annoying were the tambays who kept chanting: "Yan kasi, one way, papasok pasok... atras.. atras!"

It made me wanna say: "Eh kung hindi dahil sa pinagtanungan kong kababayan niyo na isa't kalahating tanga, hindi sana ako napasok dito!"

Because of that, the radiator acted up again. Dapat kasi recta ka para mas mababa yung chance ng overheat... so kung mabagal yung drive mo tapos traffic pa, expect the worst.

Luckily, I was very near Mark's house when it was getting worst. I managed to park near Mark and put water on the radiator.

Now, on to the party ;p

When I arrived, the rest were already there: Mark, Donna, Drey, Jem, Oninz, Pilep, and the birthday girl herself, Che.

I was soaking wet because of the rain so Maki lent me a shirt.

So the night went on and my stress got a lot lesser because of these people. I enjoyed the booze, the jokes, and the advice my friends gave me.

And also, Ed was with us that night! Webcam on Donna's laptop! lol! High tech na... webcam na instead of a print out pic! ;p

Drey also brought along his Canon SLR camera! And I got to try it! Ganda! It's definitely on my wish list! ;p

Another highlight was the announcement of Diablo 3. Everyone, except the girls, were so excited! lol

After finishing up the booze, the rest of us decided to rest a bit before leaving. Donna and Jem left earlier, so it was just Drey, Pilep, Oninz, Che, and me left in Maki's house. I gave Oninz, Pilep and Che a ride while Drey went drove home na.


Che's Fiamma Celebration


I was actually gonna text Che that night that I couldn't come because I'm not feeling so well... eh si Jem ang kuuuuulittttt!!! Text ng text: "Fil, ano na? Sabay ka kay Drey!", "Fil, sama na! PS3 muna tayo bago pumunta kina Che!", "Fil, PS3 lang sagot ng sakit ng katawan mo!"

Hahahaha! So I couldn't say no. ;p

But this time around, I didn't bring a car. I don't want to be hassled with another overheat. I hitched a ride with Drey nalang this time. ;p

On our way to Jem nga pala, Drey and I saw a road altercation. A jeep cut a car on the road. Eh bumaba ung driver ng car, tinakbuhan siya ng jeep... grabe, biglang bumunot ng baril yung driver ng car! Harurot kaagad kami ni Drey! Baka tamaan kami ng ligaw na bala eh! Haha!

At Jem's house, ROCK BAND!!!! Hahahaha! It was fun watching Jem's siblings play! Rock Band is a party game where a group of three can act as a band by playing three roles: drummer, singer, and guitarist! ;p

I tried the drummer! ;p

After a while, we proceeded to Fiamma. So as Che's guests, in our group there's: Pilep, Mark, Donna, Drey, Jem, Myk, Dale, and me.

Oninz had overtime work (daw!), and Dom was busy.

I actually enjoyed the night even though my body was aching. The Bacardi that Che ordered is nice! Four shots and I'm a bit tipsy. Haha!

Another thing, Che already have an SLR camera!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Inggiit akoooooo!!! Hehehehe! Too bad we weren't able to try it that night.. ;p

Around 1am, Drey and Jem left. The rest of us left around 4am. This time, I hitched a ride with Pilep until Araneta Ave. where I got a taxi. Thanks Fifi! :)

And after 10 minutes, I was already home! Yes, 10 freaking minutes: from Araneta ave. to Batasan. That taxi drove so fuckin' fast. ;p

So there, those were the 'gimmiks' these past weeks. Thanks to Che for her multiple celebrations! Once again, being with these people is great. :)
