this is what you call a day but not really

first things first:
it's A Drop of Jupiter's first birthdayyyyy!!!!! party! woohoo! gusto niyang bday gift is a new layout but what i was able to do is a birthday card...


happy birthday mah blog! you were conceived out of boredom but now you're one of my bestest friends. you've been there for me always as in 24-7. if you weren't created i might probably be locked up in a mental institution by now. i promise to give you a face lift soon. kz sort of taught me how. soon. =)

ooh! had a very loooooong day. this is quite special or weird. basta. it started 12 midnight sakto. dimples, jayjay, abby, and i just finished watching woody allen's latest work, Match Point. wow. at 12 o'clock i was gasping for air. i could hardly breathe. i had this chest full of different emotions triggered by the film. it changed my life. well not absolutely but hell did it blow me away. to everyone, do watch it.

after Match Point, dimples and jayjay had to sleep. i didn't want to yet so i watched another dibidi, a taiwanese film starring takeshi kaneshiro. shet. it was awful. after the film, i decided to go home. it was already 2am. it's just a few minute's trike ride from makatarungan to matahimik. nagulat housemate ko dumating ako. he thought i was in paranaque. it was hard to get over Match Point pero i was that tired kaya madali na akong nakatulog.

i set the alarm clock at 10 pero 12 noon na ako bumangon. i am supposed to have three appointments later in the afternoon. but lamer texted LiveSound rehersal is cancelled and bikoy texted he couldn't meet up and get his copy of Sangang Daan (es and jerwin's thesis where he is lead star, naks!). so my only lakad left today would be at 4pm with trixie to makati. i was hungry and so i thought of going to starbucks katips but i realized ayokong ma-buro ng 4 hours before i could meet up with trixie. so stayed home instead. cooked instant mi goreng and instant oatmeal for brunch. and instantly, i was full. watched game knb, star circle summer kid quest, and wowowee then prepared to go to mcdo katips where i am to meet trixie.

4pm sakto (wow like first time in recent memory that i wasn't late for an appointment), i was at mcdo katips, after sidetrips at cdr-king and prince david and bumping into highschoolmates who remember me but whom i don't, which was really embarrassing.

trixie and i have to go to makati to shoot this outofthisworldly fantabulous shop by her friend corinne ching named I Love You Store, for this sunday's episode of the lynn sherman show. but Hobbes (trixie's car) was number coding in makati. so we left him at the fort and took a fort bus to ayala. at eto na ang simula ng series of exciting events. bago pa kami makababa ng the fort bus ay bumuhos ang pagkalakas-lakas na ulan. err, trixie may payong ka ba? wala eh. shet. pano to? so to make the long story short, we entered sm makati na basang basa sa ulan. at nang makalabas kami sa pagitan ng landmark at greenbelt ay tuyo na kami!

I Love You Store was somewhere in makati ave that we both did not know where. so we asked a yellow traffic kotongero how to get to that place. he said walang bumabyahe doong fx so we had to take a cab. so here's the scenario: rush hour traffic, friday, raining hard a la The Day After Tomorrow, ayala center. perfect combination para sa isang reality game show called "The Taxi Ride". Mechanics of the game is to be able to get a cab that'll bring you to a destination of your choice against a competition of hundreds of stranded passengers. you may wait in one of a dozen predetermined taxi stations where the line could ba a lightyear long or you may be a guerilla cab hailer. just keeping in mind that the goal of the game is to get a freaking taxi ride in the soonest possible time and a taxi driver who will stick with the meter and not make kontratas.

we arrived at this super wonderful shop years later under a hundred peso contract. and can i just say, wala akong masabi sa kaastigan ng shop na ito. *&%$#^!@. paradise. heaven. shangri-la. i could die now. (ayayay ayoko pa pala hehehe). dito ko pala makikita ang mga hard to find pieces na i've been dreaming of. the people there were so nice. pinabayaan lang kami ni trixie to turn their shop upside down. so sad nga lang i didn't have money. if i did shet ubos na paninda nila! it was freaky nga lang coz ida, one of the shop managers, was a cross between my german10&11 prof bizzy and my blockmate alyx! ooohmagod! gusto ko lang siyang titigan the whole time coz yeah she was thaaat hot and sobrang kamuka talaga niya si bizzy at si alyx! tas kasama mo pa ang isang trixie ballesteros? ahsus! wala na. panalo na.

now the rain has stopped. we had to go back to mrt ayala station to meet up with leo ray who'll edit and transfer to dvd what trixie shot. and it's another cab ride this time with no kontrata but with a 50peso flagdown rate. DAHIL TRAFFIC DAW. kung hindi lang talaga namin kailangang magmadali at kung pwede lang si Hobbes sa makati... :( we got stuck sa traffic. pero ok lang. ang radio station ni manong taxi ay 50's vaudevilleish. tawa lang kami ni trixie ng tawa.

meeting up with leo ray sa ilalim ng ayala station was so drug dealerish. oh leo, heto na ang mga epektos. ikaw na bahala diyan. hahaha. after that, leo met up with his sister at hinatid ko na si trixie sa sakayan ng the fort bus and as for me, went back to ayala station para sumakay ng colorum van to bicutan. isang colorum van na titirek sa gitna ng skyway. isang colorum van na nagbigay sa akin ng first experience kong tumambay sa taas ng skyway at panuorin ang mga hindi umaandar na sasakyan sa highway sa baba.

i was lucky mama was still in edsa when the van brokedown. i asked her to take skyway since traffic in slex was heavy and so she could pick me up. it was only upsetting though that papa called us and said not to five the other stranded passengers a lift. he said it was for own safety. i say it's the most stupid idea. i hate it that he made that call. and i am upset at myself for not having the courage to persuade mama to give some of my co-passengers a lift. it's so upsetting.
*&%^!#@$.

it was a very long day for me. too bad it had to end that i'm upset. chatting with some friends helped to ease it a bit. thanks to the three of you for having the time to listen while i vent out awful stuff. hehehe. thanks to kz for lending me dibidis. thanks to dimples for letting me use her entertainment system. thanks to trixie and hobbes for the makati experience. thanks to iloveyoustore and everyone there, corinne, ida, and maridel. thanks to the van. thanks to my blog. happy birthday ulet!
