Saturday Gimik Day!

Last Saturday was fully loaded. From morning to the evening, I was up and going! And by the time I was over, my legs are so strained that I'm still having a hard time walking around (I actually went to UST earlier today complete with a walking cane.. hindi ako makalakad ng direcho! haha)


Garage Sale

My mom and sister joined the Filinvest 2 garage sale. They decided to take all those unused/old stuff that they have lying around, and sell them. So as early as 6am, we're already up to help bring those things onwards to the club house. The garage sale was done on the covered basketball court, by the way.

Anyhoo, it was great. They were able to dispose their things--and at the same time, they were able to earn some money. Mejo nakakainis lang yung ate ko. Mejo nauto kasi ng mga ibang buyers! Haha! The problem with her is that she's an impulse buyer. She loves everything branded. Buy this shirt, buy this shoes... then she ends up not using them. It will all end up on the garage sale... some of the items, brand new--at dirt cheap price!

And she's a novice at selling them too. Like she bought a Mango shirt worth 900 bucks, and take note that she haven't even used it even once, then sells it for 100 pesos! Yung nakakatawa pa, may tumatawad pa ng 50 percent!!! At binibigay naman niya! Hahaha! Makes me cringe actually, now that I remember it! Haha!

I also looked around the other sellers too. The reason I was motivated to join the sale was para makita rin yung mga chicks na nagbebenta rin ng gamit! Haha! True enough, there were some cuties... like those three sisters. Haha!

Around 11am, I bid them goodbye because I was going to meet Drey in Philcoa. We have a cosplay to attend to! ;p


Cosplay - UP Diliman, Bahay ng Alumni

So as early as Tuesday last week, Richard was bugging me to join him on this cosplay he's attending. For those who don't know, a cosplay is an event where people who love Japanese animes gather, and dress up as their favorite anime characters. I, myself, am a stranger to cosplays as this was the first time I'm attending one.

By around 12:30pm, I met up with Drey at Jollibee Philcoa. We ate lunch then proceeded to the cosplay. To say the least, we were a bit culture shocked! Haha! There were all these people who were complete fanatics, dressed up as anime characters and acting silly! :D

By the way, the reason I brought along Drey was so that I could introduce him to Richard (my highschool barkada). Drey is into DSLRs, and Richard just got his own DSLR recently... so it might be a great idea to introduce them since Drey was also looking for photo shoot companions.

I was surprised though that Drey accepted the invitation! Haha! Wala kasing hilig si Drey sa mga animes, and most of the shots he does are not from events. So I was very pleased when Drey confirmed he was joining us. :)

Back on the cosplay, we arrived and saw the great line. We we're a bit worried at first na baka pahirapan makapasok since ang haba ng line. Buti nalang mabilis din pala. And as soon as we met Richard (and Mike, Richard's friend), they began shooting those costume clad people! ;p

Like I've said, both Drey and I we're culture shocked. Drey doesn't even watch animes. Even I, who knows a little anime, got a little lost. I could only identify 10% of the costumes there. (Surprisingly enough, Pilep knew most of them after looking at the pics later that day)

The few that I recognized were Asuka and Xiaoyu who were Tekken characters. They were played by those cute kids which I think are sisters. The Asuka was chubby but she's still great. The Xiaoyu though, is excellent. Bagay dun sa bata! Ang cute, cute! Haha!


Another cosplayer that I liked was that girl with the purple dress and the samurai. I think she's playing that vampire from Blood Plus (I'm not sure, only Mike told me). Cute! ;)


After a lot of pictures and a lot of sweat (ang iniiiit!), we finally went out. Drey left earlier because he still had to pick up Jem. Richard and Mike joined me instead and hitched a ride until Tiendesitas. I was on my way to Market Market in Taguig, and picked up Dale along the way...


Market Market - Laser Extreme, Dinner

By the time Dale and I got to Market Market, medyo masama ang pakiramdam ko. I had a tummy ache, parang acidity. Buti nalang nawala in a short while. Medyo nainip na nga kami ni Dale kasi ang tagal mag-datingan! Haha! ;p

Eventually, we all met up at Laser Extreme. We started to gear up for it since its our first time. Only Jem was the veteran. Haha! So there were: me, Donna, Dale, Pilep, Che, Drey, Jem, and Jem's siblings. There were also 3 strangers.

So my thoughts for the game? It was great! Haha! It was actually exhausting for a 15 minute game since takbo ka ng takbo just to dodge enemy fire. You're also inclined to sneak para mahuli mo off-guard yung kalaban. Haha!



Nakakatuwa si Jasper, Jem's uber competitive little brother. Kaming dalawa yung nag-babarilan dun. Haha. In the end, Jem's team won. Si Che kasi, picture ng picture imbis na bumaril eh!!! Hahaha! ;p

Afterwards, I felt my legs are starting to strain. Medyo nagsimula na yun nung morning pero mukhang na-aggravate after nung Laser Extreme (and it did... I was still using a walking stick earlier today! ;p).

After walking around, we decided to have dinner at Trellis. I actually liked the food very much. Dale paid for me since sira lahat ng ATM machines na na-encounter ko! So I still owe him money. Haha! Myk, by the way, followed after the Laser Extreme game. He joined us for dinner.



Drey had to send Jem and her siblings home after dinner. We decided that the next stop would be Eastwood since hindi pa raw na-experience ni Donna doon! Haha! Medyo magulo nga yung plan kasi akala ko Eastwood then Tiendesitas... then it became Eastwood-movie-Tiendesitas... and then Eastwood-bowling... haha!


Eastwood, Libis

Finally, we decided that we're gonna watch Quantum of Solace na after Drey arrived but we ran out of seats. I was actually so frustrated that time kasi gusto ko na talaga panuorin yun, me being a BIG fan of the 007 franchise. Haha! ;p

Daniel Craig ain't got shit on me! ;p

We decided to have a few drinks at Gerry's grill para barkada kwentuhan and all that. Afterwards, we went to Starbucks to hang out for a while before going home. Grabe sina Myk, walang humpay ang Magic cards!! Tumigil nga sa DOTA, Magic naman ang pumalit! Haha!

Koya and Dick-O. Haha!

So there... it was a LONG Saturday for me. I was actually pretty tired after I got home. I asked Dale na magpalipas na muna sa house namin kasi baka delikado nang mag-travel ng 3am at the morning. I gave him a ride nalang hanggang Q.Ave after we woke up. Nagmamadali umuwi kasi pupunta raw si Ade sa house nila. When I asked him kung anong meron, "mamamanhikan daw si Ade... at pinapaglinis niya na raw ng bahay nila dun habang wala pa siya"! Hahahaha! Ade oh! Haha! ;p
