SATURDAY

I took my sweet time waking up, and was pretty spaced out when i realized that it was already lunch time when i finally came to (woke up because i had to take a phone call). Nway, made lunch of pasta with tomatoes and spicy tuna, which i ate in haste. Decided to use my gym privileges (while i still can) and headed out to ABS for some hour-long gymwork (hahah --kunwari nag-g-gym!) I made it through the treadmill and some running, but i was not exactly keen on waiting for my class, which unfortunately, start late because the class before that started late. Haaay. Buti na lang at may cable sila, at least enjoy ang running ko.

Had a bizaare encounter at the locker rooms --- while taking some time in the sauna i encountered two twitty ditzes who apparently can't keep their gossiping to themselves. They were (as they loudly exclaimed outside the sauna) surprised that i can be "brazenly nude" in the sauna --- HELLO!!! IT's a friggin' sauna for christssake! Geez! They made this sorry attempt to "subtly" check me out, as if they were looking for their friend inside. Tsk tsk. What the hell is wrong with these people? Sheesh. I'm not exactly as liberated as they think, but hell, if i talk about somebody behind their back, i sure as HELL talk aboutit quietly and NOT let the person know. I mean, geez, i was inside the sauna and i could still hear them talk! AUDIBLY!! tsk. Ditzes.

Had my cup of coffee at CBTL after that --hehe, i took advantage of the danish promo --- P95 for coffee and danish? not bad, not bad at all!! YUmmy. At least i got to relax and forget those damn twits for now.

Decided to join Lucy and her friends for a movie date. Unfortunately, we watched A cinderella Story, which was cute and teeny-boppery. Hilary Duff well, she can't act shit, but at least she was pretty and had enough fashion sense to help me appreciate the movie. The IC crew were pretty kewl to hang out with, though, which made the movie date not so bad after all.

Argh. Rain started pouring and Lucy and I were momentarily stuck at Rockwell, looking for a cab. We had to meet MArk, her friend's friend who was currently in town at 10pm, but by the looks of it, we were gonna be late. Oh well. Lucee's a bit hesitant --- after all, we've never met this guy, and by the sound of it, he didn't know us either. BUt it turned out to be pretty kewl. He was very nice and pretty cute, not to mention quite game with our agenda for the night.

Since he was here for one night only, Lucee and I decided to take him to some of the more homey music scenes in Makati. We took him to Saguijo, this happening gallery/cafe/music place where some of my friends mingle. True enough, the FA crowd, as well as the Rock Music scene was there. Got to hear Marty McFly play (they rocked!!!) some Weezer classics, as well as some of their original hits which totally blew me away. Truly great! Kim's band, Letters from Paul also did some serious damage with some Coldplay-inspired songs (sometimes it kinda sounded like Oasis) as well as some very nicely done covers. Whew! It was actually my first time there, and i was really happy i was able to finally check it out.We even met Erin there, who was also scoping out the place for their exhibit next month.

After Kim's band did their last song, we headed out to Halo, this house and trance music scene near Magallanes. Unfortunately, ut wasn;t happening, not many peopel were there and most of the regulars were expat-oldies with pinay gfs. Haay. Scaree.... Good thing we saw Mike and Joey! They were on their way to Vbar since they wasn't anything happening.

MArk wasn't up for anymore partying, since he only had four hours of sleep so far, so we brought him back to the hotel before heading to Vbar. It was pretty nice, lotsa people, hiphop music, happening scene, but the prices were atrocious! P100 for a beer? argh! Justin, Lucee's kewl gay friend, joined us, and i totally bonded with him. It was really kewl, he's very fun to talk to, and very endearing to be with. Joey is pretty nice too, very fun to talk to. Mike was a little bit out of soprts though, he seemed really quiet the whole time. I felt kinda bad since he gave us a ride and everything, he was really nice, but he rarely talked to us, so it made me feel uncomfortable -- i mean, why did he give us a lift anyway? Why didn't he just say something? It was pretty obvious he didn't want to talk to me, the way he was answering any attempt i made for conversation. Oh well.

After some serious drinking (had a mojita which i nicely asked the bartender to add some more bacardi --he readily agreed, so nice of him!) and people seeing, Justin, Lucee and I decided to passby North park for some serious chowtime. By this time it was about 4am and i was tipsy as hell. Mmmm... their hongkong noodles taste great!! Groggy and very very tired as hell, we were able to get home by cab who, thankfully was honest enough not to rob us blind with the meter.

SUNDAY

I woke up with a serious headache. Hungry, i dialled for pizza since Lucee agreed to split it with me. Her classmates from School dropped by and they were pretty much working the whole afternoon for their presentation, so i managed to catch up on some more Zzz's before heading to Makati to meet my uncle.

Bought another Sandman Book (damn you Powerbooks Sale!!!) This time, i got to buy "A Game of You", the fifth in the series. Had myself a good time reading it at Coffee Bean while drinking my Mocha Latte. Nonong arrived a few minutes after 730, after which we had a short dinner at SoulFood. We were supposed to watch a movie, but decided not to since we had an early day ahead. The taxi ride was uneventful, and prety much i spent the rest of the evening reading my new book.

Hmmm.. On a more interesting note, today is the Assumption, feast day of my HS alma mater. Darn. I didn't go to church.
