Kaie Birthday Party
Where do I start? I attended Kaie's birthday last July and I took several shots and videos with my trusty cellphone. Unfortunately, I forgotten about them until I need to upload some pictures in my phone.
It's her 7th birthday and I was late in getting to the party. I got a little lost to boot, that I've got to call Tanya to ask for directions. I was so absent-minded that day.
Fortunately for me, my own sense of direction kicked in and I found the place, with Mechiavillian Mecha Monster waiting for me and trying to call me.
The actual party was fun. Half of the time, I was eating the food and laughing at what's happening. Angel Metatron and his brother, Ryan, was there. But, I was not successful in goading him into playing DS with me. Ehe.
Speaking of fun, here are the other pictures that I took and a video of a loli-god playing with
Some of you might have known that the famous Quentin Tarantino, who created Kill Bill trilogy, was here in the Philippines a few weeks ago. I was with the other CosPH admins who were invited to join in the screening of Cinemanila movies.
Honestly, I'm neither a fan of Mr. QT, nor a fan of his movie, Kill Bill. I don't know, maybe I have something against caucasian people trying to be asian, or it strikes me as something odd. But I digress.
Since my BF likes him, I can be the neutral. But, since he liked Mr. QT, I took videos of him so that not only he would be happy, but my officemates as well.
Fixing my Bathroom and other randomness
So I was there in Japan Home Center, where everything is 88 Php. I bought this trays that will help me tidy up my bathroom sink (like my mother always nag me in fixing the things in my sink)
So I bough 3 trays in hopes to clean the clutter in my bathroom. And it did:
See exhibit A above. Don't mind the mirror since I have not yet cleaned the mirror yet. And see exhibit B below on how it's in order. My mother even complimented on what I did in the bathroom. And I have to admit, it's more manageable now, especially if I'm cleaning the bathroom.
Speaking of manageable, you wanna see how much garbage we get when we test different terminals with different applications and needs the receipt and reports printing for verification?
Woe are the trees, but we have to do our job. I hope they're recycling it. --; Now I feel a little guilty.
It's time to upload several pictures from my trusty old camera phone. Let's start from the oldest...
1. Me, Mechiavillian Mecha Monster, battlechaser, Kila and Pong went to Tiendesitas to eat in Teriyaki Boy in Fun Ranch -- it was their dry run and we were invited to eat there. I still love their food. I arrived late (boo) because I rushed from work. Mechiavillian Mecha Monster requested to go there even if I didn't got to the restaurant in time. So I rushed -- hailing a cab and we sped through Julia Vargas street to Tiendesitas.
Honestly, it was the first time I'm going there. It might be close at home but I don't have a habit of shopping -- only just when I need something. And of course it's no fun if you're going there alone. AND my mother warned me that things there are expensive. *lol* So I follow my mother's advise.
Anyways, after dinner, we went to the pet shops and decided to window whop for pets. I think Kila wanted another dog. I look for cats -- did I mention I love cats? XD
Then after an hour of wandering around, I got tired. Stress + rush + food = tired and sleepy.
In the end, Mechiavillian Mecha Monster noticed it so he carried me piggy back style until we reached the car. It was funny though, as we were walking towards the car, his boss and several officemates were walking in the opposite direction. I think he was embarrassed as they commented that we were like a scene from a koreanovela. I don't know which though.
*lol*Unknown to us, Kila decided film our escapade. But I had a barrel of laughs when battlechaser decided to pose for us when we reached the car. I think it was his impersonation of being a dog. I think he did a splendid job, don't you agree? XD
When we reached the car, we talked abotu WoW TCG and the upcoming Dark Portal release. I was so excited about it that I printed the sneak previews of cards to be released.
2. While we were playing WoW TCG, Kila asked Pong if he knows who is on the cover of the Cosplay Magazine -- and it was Kila really. Pong was speechless and we were all laughing since Pong can not guess who it was -- although he says that picture was familiar to him. Chris, another WoW and Magic TCG player commented that he knows the person and Pong
knows her as well. Our conversation went like this:battlechaser: Kilala mo yan! (You know her!)
Kila: Oo nga kilala mo yan dapat! (Yes, you should know her!)
Chris: Mas nauna mo pang nakilala yan kesa sa akin eh. (You knew her first)
Me: Sige clue: naglalaro nang WoW, cosplayer (duh), kilala naming lahat, at laging nasa Neutral Grounds... (Ok, here are clues: She playes WoW, is a cosplayer (duh), we all know her and she's always in Neutral Grounds...)
Pong: Uhhh. Uhmmm.... *scratches head*
battlechaser: cosplayer nga eh! (she's a cosplayer!)
Pong: *widens eyes then looks at Paul*
Me, Kila and battlechaser: WTF?
Chris: *lol*
battlechaser: *smacks Pong with the magazine*
After about 1 hour of guessing game, he finally knew who the person is. Everything was hilarious especially the part that he thought it was battlechaser. And here I thought I was the one who looked like him not his GF. *lol*
3. Me and Mechiavillian Mecha Monster went to Eastwood City to just hang out since
we dont' want to go home yet. I think he wanted to eat dinner and Eastwood is near our village. We passed by the walk of fame and we remembered that we wanted to see if Paraluman had a star there.Honestly, I don't know what the star symbolizes, but I think it means that they are the ones who visited Eastwood City before. I don't personally know who Paraluman is, but Mechiavillian Mecha Monster knows. And we sorta promised his friend that we will took a picture of it when we saw it.
Afterwhich we walked around some more and spend 2 hours talking with each other and went home.
4. Ozine Fest 2007 rolled in, unfortunately, our cosplay didn't pushed through and I was there to play WoW TCG since it was the pre-release of the Dark Portal (and I was the 1st one who signed in -- Yehbah~!).
Anyways, after the draft game, I played with other WoW players, met someone to trade cards with and try to remove Adz's shirt.
He was cosplaying someone in Bleach (I'm sorry I don't remember the name and I don't watch Bleach anymore x.x) and Mau helped me getting the job done. *maniacally laughs*
Other than that, I man the CPH booth and tried to sell as many magazine as I can. I think I did fairly OK for my few minutes stay.
5. This is my last pictures and it contains cosplay props. Presea commissioned me to do some of her props for a cosplay and I agreed. It contains 2 necklace and a belt buckle.
The necklace is almost done, it only needs a few things I decided to put and the blue gemstone and some paint and it would be finished. The buckle is a little difficult since I would be trying to copy it. I think I can say that I'm 50 % done with everything.
Now that's said and done. I'll tell you what happened yesterday. Yesterday, we celebrated Kila's birthday in their house in Alabang. it was a swimming party and since it was Summer, it was a great time to use the pool (but usually if we have parties there, we swim :P) Anyways, we had a great time, but we went home a little late than we were supposed to.
The video is about us, singing the happy birthday song to Kila and failing. *laughs* It was hilarious. Enjoy... :P
Actually, I was disappointed at my Ninang's daughter, Niña. I was her 'Ate' since I was the there to guide her and usually tutor her in her math subjects. As much as I'm disappointed at her, I am not surprised that she was not there. There was something going on in the family and I would prolly postponed the posting of it to another day.
Back to the original story -- I missed my mother's 'barkada'. I was out of the house for more more than 3 years and I wasn't able to attend the summer outings. When I attended the birthdya party in Kamay Kainan in West Ave, I remembered the green jokes Tito Oca always states to the group, and the laughter ensues.
Good thing, they didn't really asked me a lot of questions about my hair. maybe because they see that it's not THAT dead like they thought it would be. But when we talked about fashion, I can't help but say that I'm not a fashionista. I prefer to dress up my own style and not join the mainstream chaos. My mother is a fashionista and would always asks me what is the latest trend today -- unfortunately, I wouldn't know and wouldn't care.
I prefer to be different, not the same as everyone else. I guess that's why I like to dye my hair, buy clothes at Ukay-Ukay, or very picky at things I buy. I'm my grandfather's child I guess, prefer to be different rather than plain. But I prefer to be called weird though.
Ehem, back to the party. It was a buffet type. I was with Mechiavillian Mecha Monster that day but since he needs to get home early, he declined my mother's invitation to go have dinner with us in the party,
Mostly of the invited people are from the village, while other's, I don't know them. Even the choir where my sister was a part of before, was there. I remember their faces but I don't remember their names -- but they remembered me, the noisy girl in the church.
Too bad my favorite priest didn't come. Father Manny has a mass that night and I guess he was too tired to join in the fun. Father Manny still boasts what I did when I was 5 years old and uses that experience as homily in mass. Arg.
We ate in our hearts content, althought my mother warned me to stop eating the Tahong since we don't know we have red tide or not. I didn't eat much since I ate when I went out with Mechiavillian Mecha Monster. We talked about everything under the sun, since they don't treat me like a kid anymore, I can relate to what they are saying. We talked from Koreanovelas and Dubbing vs Subtitle to beauty products. I didn't participate much on the latter.
Went home at about 11 pm, tired but happy.
Yesterday, the family (which consists of my sister, my neice, my cousin, my mother and my aunt) went to Robinson's Metro East to celebrate my Julienne's (my neice) 9th birthday. Time does fly by and now I'm looking at my neice all grown up and in a few years will be a teenager as well.
Although she's as hyper-active as usual but since I lack the sleep that I need, I kept nodding off. I need to pass time so I decided to go to the 5th floor to play Timezone but was disappointed that the snare has some problems and the sit is too low (geez!).
Since my sister has a digital camera, she took most of the pictures of the celebration but I took a few pics in my trusty SE K750i. Speaking of pictures, here are some:
After the celebration, we went to my cousin's house to visit her newborn baby. Her name is Samantha -- er I forgot her last name since I don't know her father's last name. My aunts and mother say that she looks like her father. Well, let's see in about 2-3 years time. She's the most demure and silent baby that I've encountered so far. She doesn't wail when she wants to be fed and sleeps all the time.
