quarternotes

Fun started Friday night out with Rica at Pino. Well, we had dinner at her place first then we drove to Pino. There we saw our old "kuya" from YFC, Ruben. Kuya Ruben, as we call him, is PJ's brother - PJ being one of the three owners of PINO. We met Star, one of the owners then she and kuya Ruben stayed at the al fresco area with their friends. I made Rica listen to some episodes of our radio drama. It was a night of laughter and reminiscing. Then we learned that another YFC "ate" Monina and her sister Karla were staying at The Coffee Library nearby, we were supposed to go over and there to say hi, but we forgot eventually. Soon we were joined by our long-time friend, Mark. It was like a YFC reunion, that night. Full of stories, catching up, juicy info. Haha. Too bad Kuya Gelo wasn't able to tag along because of his fever.

Saturday afternoon, the Bully Society celebrated Nica's birthday at Redbox in Trinoma. It was also the first time in 2 years that I saw JJ.











As usual, being cam whores united, we took a lot of pictures and videos of ourselves singing! Hahaha! We had so much fun! We promised ourselves another "gig" (hehe) probably on Fab's birthday!





















On our way to Gloria Jeans, we saw Pic with his gf. It was so hilarious when 5 ladies cried out Pic's name with all the joy in world while his gf stunned beside him. Hahahaha. We spent the rest of the afternoon at GJ until 8ish; we called it a night.

...NOT FOR ME...

I went to Pino again. At first I was enjoying a Paris Hilton mix with Nori Cheesesticks with Mint Pesto and Strawberry Coulis. It was great. Then I saw Trey there! Small world, her friend is PJ's gf! [The following day, I learned that Star and Fab are officemates, haha, cool.] I later joined Star at the bar as the crowd inside was getting thicker. I drank 5 different drinks that night. No, I didn't humiliate myself drunk. I wasn't even tipsy, haha, you know how I am. Later, PJ came in, we was suprised how Star and I bonded like old friends. I love the place, I love the food, I love the drinks. Seems like I have a new place to hang out within the village.
And is it really disturbing that I call Ruben, "Kuya Ruben" and PJ just "PJ" when PJ's older than Ruben? Better get used to it.

My friend and I met up at Dunkin Donuts in Gateway after a very (VERY) long day at work. So we were having our usual how-are-you stories, then came this skinny girl with dark eye shadows. Here's what happened:

(something like this)

HER: Uhm, excuse me... kilala mo ba yung girl na yun? (pointing to another someone outside)

ME: Hmm, I don't think so, why?

HER: Ah okay, kasi alam mo, ayoko yung ginawa mo sa kanya na nagparinig ka kanina kasi nakakainis eh..

ME: Uh... When was this, again?

HER: Kanina, nagpaparinig ka! Pwede ba 'wag mo na uulitin yun?! (walks out, eyes rolling)

ME: Oh.. okay...

FED and I: Ano daw?


We were both surprised when she barged in like that. He actually wanted get off his seat and give that girl a piece of something. Boo-hoo, she's just a waste of time. What she did was like a commercial gap to break the fast paced exchange of stories. Haha. I just laughed. What did I do now? He told me that he thought I was going to answer back or follow her outside. I just said, "Excuse me, hindi ko siya ka-level" APIR! She's the least of my troubles.. heck.. she's not even part of my list.

Hay! What a way to end a crazy day?! Pure insanity...

So I've been telling a lot of people how hectic my schedule was last week. Let's start Monday.

Last night was a blast when Panch and I went to Magnet at Bonifacio High Street to watch the Family Planning Gig of nine bands namely...

(in no particular order)
Imago
Cambio
Duster
The Dawn
Sugarfree
Chicosci
Sandwich
Pedicab
Peryodiko
Marcos Highway (guest band)

My night started with me leaving from work 6ish. Took a cab to Makati to refrain myself from going through the sea of people at the Cubao MRT station. I instructed the driver to pass by C5 road then Kalayaan to avoid the EDSA rush hour madness, but alas, traffic was still a bit heavy when I reached Buendia.

So then I met Panch at SM Makati, rode a bus to BHS while having our usual kuwentuhan. At one stop over, she scolded me for ignoring this guy in red shirt who, according to Panch, was looking at me. "Bian, may gusto na nga sa'yo sana nginitian mo na rin," thanks for this my friend but I wouldn't want another fairytale to start on a bus going to BHS. And in Paolo's words, I do not need a man [woman] to complete my life right now. Spoken directly from the heart.

On the road, we were also bullying (haha) Ronald to come join us. After endless exchange of text messages, he finally agreed to join us right after work because of one statement from Panch: Free Dinner. Kudos to Ronald who came in dressed like a bank officer or a congressman.. haha, but who cares?! Music - it's all that matters.

We had great food (credits to Panch), we watched great bands play, we had so much fun! When was the last time I had this much fun? Ah yes, the Eraserheads Reunion Concert. I was chatting (YM) with Trey yesterday afternoon as I was also inviting her to last night's gig. Trey by the way is out new rocker friend we met at the concert. Sadly she declined but she proposed a get together on 30 September at Saguijo to watch Pearl Jam. How cool is that?!

We went home at 1ish and on the way I was really happy with myself. Hell, the happiness I felt last night is still overflowing as I am blogging this the morning after. Seriously guys, I really am happy. Hahaha. =)
