Friday:

Scooted over to Makati to give some posters to the outlet. Was planning to catch the latest flick Cine Europa had to offer, but unfortunately, i wasnt able to go (besides, who would want to watch a movie with two 18x24 posters hanging on their side?) So, after that quick errand, i found myself staring out into the mass of people going about the mall.

Oooh! Got to buy meself a nice new book --- Neil Gaiman /Dave McKean's Violent Cases, this dsturbingly good novella which features McKean's amazing art. Yup, forget the story (although it was also pretty good) --- the art makes me want to cry because it was sooo good! I wish i can illustrate and visualize as good as this guy!

Met Emil, my cousin's ex/friend, who was getting out of work at 1030pm, after smoking about half a pack of ziggys outside CBTL. He and I were hungry (we didn't eat) so we grabbed a light dinner at the food court, and Dim sum had me going for the next couple of hours (ha kaw, yum!) before we went to the bus station to pick up my cousin.

It was good to chat with him again, although admittedly, i wasn't that familiar with him as much as i was with Aumer's other friends (they had an advantage -- we actually got to hang out a lot more). We had a little "trip" around the side streets of Cubao, where i got to see his "half-a-mile turf" of E. Rodriguez and New York. hehehe. After picking up Aumer, we headed to CBTL for a quick pick-me-up of coffee, iced tea and cake. Yum.

Saturday

Woke up late. Jason texted me prior to today about the swimming thing he and Denise were embarking at Ian's, so i readily joined in. Went to theri house around 130, after doing some chores. Denise is back form Australia!! It's soo kewl to see her again. We chatted a bit, then waited on Jason on the final plan... and waited. The thing was, Ian's pool was crowded, so we had to look for an alternative pool. Pretty much, the whole afternoon was then spent looking for one while watching the earlier season of Friends. Bwahahha. So much for the outing.

I left their house to change around 7, which gave me enough time to clean up, have dinner and get myself dressed for the night. Denise invited me to this new place called kado's, which was one of the newer "slashie restos" --- a bar/grill/resto near the Timog Rotonda. It was noisy, filled with high school/college kids mostly,and served reasonably priced beers. The atmosphere was kinda too much (very poor ventilation!), but the company was fun! Got to meet Denise's friends, who were a blast to hang out with. Out of sheer audacity i ordered myself Strong Ice for the rest of the night,w hich kept me pretty tipsy and sedated. heheh.

Jason, Dex and Duane arrived a little later, and we had fun taking pictures, drinking, dancing and chatting amidst all the crap music they were playing (the first set was good, but then they played hiphop and not even the current ones --- ones from like, 2 years ago, which kinda sucked out the partygurl in me). Got myself intoxicated with Garams (yehey!) and beer, before leaving around 2am, after which i just fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

Sunday

I woke up to the constant ringing of our doorbell.Sh*t. Of all the days that i need to be woken up by the noisy doorbell, it had to be today. Good thing i was wearing clothes to bed (well, decent ones anyway), otehrwise i would have made a damn fool of myself when i answered the door --- Mutch and her friends were there to use the bathroom and do a quick ocular for their video (they were planning ti use the doorway). A quick chat and a not-so-comfy silence (i really wasn't up to entertaining people at this time of the day), they left and i went back to sleep.
I actually kinda fell terrible about it, but hey, i was really sleepy and it wasn't even 10am yet (sorry Mutch!).

Felt better after a much needed rest. Was doing an extended version of my self-depreciating mood, so i checked out the ukay place at Anonas and bought me some cheap bargains which brightened my day up a bit. It was great, was able to buy 4 items for only 250 bucks, and was able to get me a pedicure too! Cleaned up the apartment a bit, then watched friends' seasons 4 and 5 for the rest of the night. I was supposed to go out with my cousin, but she didn't show up , which kinda sucked, since i made plans to watch the 930 show with Maggie and Haydz. Oh well.

Everybody was in the house by 11pm, which was good, sicne it was a long time since i last saw all my housemates under one roof. Maggie later came by to hang out iwth us, watching the episodes with us will late. She ended up sleeping over since the cab company couldn't send someone over to bring her to IC.

Pretty fun weekend for bumming :-D
