Around the World in Two Weeks

Lazy git, I is. Lots happened from when I scribbled them letters below. Hah! Can even blabber correct English, not!

Translation: Ako ay si Juan Tamad. Madami nang nangyari mula nang mailathala ko ang aking huling salaysay sa tala-arawang ito. Susmaryosep! Hindi man lamang ako makapag salita ng tamang Ingles!

Lakas trip. Hehe.

Been literally all over the metro during the past two weeks:

Rob Galleria
The Rolling Hills Gaming Club hosted a Warhammer 40,000 miniature gaming tournament and I, with the help of some trusted buddies in the group, organized the said event. Eleven players participated and several more visited the tourney to support the hobby as Neutral Grounds sponsored the gaming area on their adjacent hallway near David's Salon.

It was a whole day of fun and good-natured heckling as curious passers-by ogled at the purty-painted miniatures and dioramic long tables. Some as old as our typical grannies politely asked stuffs regarding the game and how it was played.

You really just can't take no notice of seeing big guys pushing toy soldiers, y'know. Hehe.

It's nice to be back!

And even without Manong Fishball, I've had my share of grub attack as the Great Maw - Jake Pookiemonster - brought a pack of Frenchy herb-smelling bread rolls and cans of meat spreads. The boys of IPMS (International Plastic Modellers Society - Bert Anido Chapter) was in full force as the great hangar of CFA was jampacked with miniature afficionados for a weekend workshop session.

I just painted one of my Space Marine miniature dude with a missile launcher. I'm slowly creeping of on my schedule of finishing my whole army before the next big Warhammer 40,000 tournament.


Molo's Restaurant (Sikatuna Village)
"Sa Molo's para maiba!"

Araguy! Yan ang hirit pag may nagtanong sa tropa kung san kakain. In that short a span since my last entry, we've eaten at Molo's twice already! Yumayaman na sila dahil sa amin at kahit panay kagaguhan isulat namin sa "survey" nila, we're still welcomed with smiles and politeness. Yub yub!

From pork sisig to Garr's salad(?!?), the menu's well worth the try!

Ano to plugging?


Lotsa Pizza - Teacher's Village (Quezon City)
Four extra large pizzas gorged to the last tomato sauce by six ravenous gits! Ganyan kami kumain ng pizza dun. Parang walang tomorrow (*insert konyo accent*). And special customer treatment for us dahil pag dumadating kami, binibitbit namin yung mga lamesa at upuan sa labas! Gusto namin under the moon kami mag pizza. Walang angal. Kustomers is all ways rightful! The more the many-erer!

Last encounter was last Saturday after our UP-CFA session.


Starbucks-Adriatico (Malate)
I was with Pinsan Idol and Pouty, reminscin the latter's highschool bouts in Saint Jo. Tambay magdamag (literally) na parang wala akong pasok kinaumagahan. Actually, umaga na nun. Hehe. Totoo yun eh noh? When you're with someone special even time itself flitters in a slow-mo. Parang wala nang katapusan. Ayun, kamusta naman ako. Sa pag-iinarte, pag dating ng tanghali para akong sinapak ng limang Pacquiao sa antok. Hee hee. Oks lang, sulit yan. Walang pakelaman.

Lytot Sungit, Renz Verano, Bubay

Ang kyut ng "kutilya" nya. Pramis.

Convergys Commonwealth
Hours before our regular Sunday gunbang games, I asked Garrkid to make a sidetrip to Convergys so we could have our breakfast at Starbucks AND syempre, meet up with the Batgurl. She was about to leave then (that was way past her regular work hours) when we arrived. Swerte ko, inabot ko pa. She's so cute in her aviator. I was half-distracted to what I was talking about. Funny how my lips seemed to lock in "speak" mode while the heart simply gazed at her and cherished the short time we would be together. Who knows when will be the next time again, that's why. Sayang, di ko tuloy nabigay yung stuffed toy na antagal nang nakatengga sakin. Hehe. Nawala sa isip ko na dala ko pala sa bilis ng pangyayari. Haha. Ang tae talaga.


Camp Masada (San Mateo, Rizal)
Two Sundays without airsoft could be "withdrawal syndrome"-inducing so last Sunday we braved the EDSA traffic despite preparations for the People Power anniversary celebration and hit it to Team Apocalypse's battlefield - Camp Masada!

Teams present were RTAC and BATAS which, I have to admit, were not that bad players themselves. I've seen worse! Frankly, though, I've had my fair shares of habitual unattentiveness during the games since Miss Haley's thoughts still lingered on my poor mushy mind. Haha. Taeng tae.

Kuwari alerto sa kalaban... pero tulog ako sa likod ng maskara.

Da Shak (Kamias)
But of course! That measly shack of shacks... hallowed to us truest henchmen of the Ork gods, imbued with the One True Beverage - da COX (Coke... hehe)!!

In short, tambayan namin.

Have to remind myself to draw more art on our logbook. The more the merrierer! Nuff said.


Fortress Hobby Store (Virramall, Greenhills)
It was nice to hangout here since c'mon, it's Greenhills, man. You can't go wrong with a place that's half-filled with sassy places to relax and the other half teeming with bargain stuffs to shop! Para akong laging dukha pag nasa Greenhills ako sa dami ng gusto ko bilhin!

Arvin, a fella Shak buddy, manages a friend's business here and most of the guys drop by from time to time so it's a good place to chill. Bought me this vintage cap that I got for cheaps! Ho ho... peborit cap ko na sya ngayon.

Andami pa dumadaan na artista dun. Inabutan ko na minsan si Jennilyn Mercado, pero walang effect sa akin e. Pero baka iwan ko yung FHM ko dun na Katrina cover kasi minsan dumaan na daw siya dun e. Sabi ko papirmahan pag napadaan ulit. Hehe.


Alpha Grandview Condo (Malate)
Tita 9's place. Lagi naman talaga ko tambay dito pag ayoko pa umuwi sa amin. The last time I was there was when I have to wait for my bro who attended his JS Prom. Around the area lang kasi siya nag-aaral. There's this nice view of Manila Bay and the Baywalk strip from their unit. Galing.


The Residencia Condo (Greenbelt)
Romydoo's office. Here's where we do our regular weekday geek games. We usually held it on Tuesdays but last week we met on a Wednesday. It was a nice break from all the weekday's worth of work stress, I say.
