last thursday and friday

for two consecutive nights, i was with jen... last thursday, i went to up alumni hostel to support jen. she was a contestant for up statistics' skewed pair. and how statistics-related the name of a "pageant-like" program could be. from what i have understood, the pairs should be acting like entertainment icons. also, the girl should be acting like a guy and vice-versa. jen and his pair, bryce, had to be music icons. they then decided to become michael jackson and madonna, respectively. congratulations to my friend and her friend 'coz they got two awards which i forgot. they did pretty well in dancing, though they weren't as prepared as the other pairs. it might not please jen but i'm going to post on my multiply a portion of their dance which really looked like they're having a dirty dancing. recognition should be given also to the other contestant. they did pretty well, especially the juniors who acted marimar and sergio of marimar. then, yesterday, she accompanied me to watch drip and up dharma down's ua&p gig called indie trip. it was at li seng giap. entrepreneurial management's band, sindikato, fronted for the two terno recording artists. it was actually my first time to see drip play. supposedly, i was going to watch them play the soundtrack for the silent film festival. i wasn't able to catch them when i went to fete d la musique. i've been wanting to see them since i saw them play at mtv local, about almost three years ago. i never knew that beng calma graduated from ua&p and her brother is my batchmate, paeng. after the gig, which was around 11pm, we went to tapa king, blue wave. it was only then that i ate after almost 12 hours. i just pity her 'coz she had a hard time eating her tapa for her braces was adjusted hours before going to ua&p. jen, kwits na tayo ah... nagpunta ako sa inyo, nagpunta ka sa amin... ehehe

very nice... very nice weekend...

i really had a wonderful time hanging out with my high school barkada and former blockmates yet still my friends last saturday. before that, i just wanna share that after weeks, i got to hang-out, too, with my high school friends. supposedly, i was going to UP alone to have my giordan's filipino book photocopied. while waiting for a ride to katipunan, i texted ben if he could accompany me to UP. fortunately, he was on his way to gateway to get a ride home. he said that he could join with me on my trip to UP. that moment, casey was also at UP but had two exams - one in the morning and one in the afternoon. after having the book photocopied, we decided to go to gateway just to kill time. he suddenly thought of inviting casey but i said he can't come because of his exams. then, we decided to text finney who, unknowingly, had the intentions of going to UP for the same reason - to photocopy a book. while waiting, ben and i ate at rodic's. man, they serve one of the tastiest and most delicious tapa in metro; it looked like corned beef, though. when finney arrived, we right away went out to gateway. from the moment ben and i got together, we had fun commenting on how people would boast of their school by telling that there are only two schools in the country - it's either (with a weird accent):

1. UP and others
2. Ateneo and others
3. UA&P and others
4. UST and others
5. FEU and others
6. and the list would go on 'til it mentions Don Kampupot Medical School

on our way back to UP to get the photocopied materials, rain suddenly fell. we were just in time 'coz rain really fell hard when we were on the jeepney to UP. after texting and calling casey, who was chilling at starbucks katipunan, we decided to stay there or a while and wait for the rain to stop. he also had the only means of going to UP - we would be soaking wet if we're going to walk to UP shopping center or even wait for a UP ikot jeep. staying at starbucks katipunan is a fun experience. i saw how ben's sarcastic face became disgusted - is it because of the price of the frap we ordered or just the price of the frap, or maybe both? but it's good 'coz we got to see some maligamgams - our new term. fast forward to the debut.... i really would like to thank ros for sharing a ride to chrissie's debut. i was planning to ride a cab to school where she would be picking up felix and rjude. it was good that i texted her right away that if i could be picked up around her place. after picking up rjude and fel, we went to the place, cosmo bar. it had an imitation of what red carpets would look like - for the theme was oscars. a star-studded night, perhaps. man, the service was bad. they only had five waiters who would be serving you very badly. i was served with carbonara but i still did not have any drinks. by 11pm, we went to promenade to sing our hearts out. it's a nice way of taking our stresses off. rjude sang old school songs, while felix sang rollin' with a drunken voice. there's a lot of story on that trip that i could not even remember them all. it was a wonderful day.
