Must be Geeky! Not be Mushy!

This has been one of those weekends that I, for any reasons, did not have to venture on the Northernlands where I get wussy mushy inside. Buti naman.

Thus, it goes...

Friday
After work...
The company sponsored a night out at Dencio's - Jupiter with all the employees. It was a night of gluttonous proportions as the food (and alcohol) just kept on flowing regardless of the status of our overworked guts! Sabi nga nung isang waiter with a sarcastic smirk, "Goodluck, Sir. Sana mabusog kayo." Even a deathstick won't appease my grumbling stomach. Much heckling and goofing around ensued. Pictures to follow!

After that, the plan was to go to the Fortress in Virramall OR straight to da Shak for another tambay night session with whoever drops by. But it was Kuneho's birthday and he invited me for an extended night out. He was on Joel Torre's Manukan in Sgt. Esguerra to celebrate. Sabi ko ke Kuneho tatambay lang ako dahil sobrang sagad nako both in food and drinks, and so I rushed up north to meet them. He was with his gf, his gf's younger sis, his younger sister, and some cousins.

Hindi na rin kami nagtagal sa Manukan (syempre, nawala-wala pa muna ako sa paghahanap... ganun ako kagaling maglakwatsa sa QC e). Hinatid lang namin yung sis niya sa Project 8 (?) then we went to Tiendesitas for the Alchemy Bar. Ang kaso mo, yung sister ng gf niya hindi pinayagan makapasok dahil sa slippers. Hindi rin pala auto pass kahit Havaianas pa yan. So we basically just chilled around before hitting home. Next Friday na lang daw ulit.


Saturday
After a long sleep...
Walang sawang tulog until some minutes before noon. Got to play with the twins before prepping up to go to Virramall.

Hinintay lang namin ni Crispy si Marlou, then we headed to Hobby Haven in Katipunan to hang out for the day's miniature tournament. The place was, as usual, jampacked...

Attendance: Tiny, Kei, Dick, Kim, Arvs, Obi, Marlou, Raymund, Chris, Patrick, Clemence, Clarence, Fluffy, Jacob, Benito, Pork, Jake, Doc Lance, Gelo, Fuhrer, Kulyong, SJ, Chico, Jumping Johnny, Little John, parang may nakalimutan pa ko ah...

After the games ended by pass 8 in the evening, me, Mussolini, Crispy, John Liit, and Fluffy headed to In-and-Out Steaks Kamias for dinner. We rode back to Haven after the meal to pick up the guys and the night continued at da Shak... Mayor Tengco, Doc Marco, and Plim, awaiting our arrival. Torotot Boy once again on the background with his broken saxophone tunes on the neighboring room. Wootut! Wootut!

Class dismissed by some minutes past 12 midnight, only to find my cousin JC at home with Sponklong having DVD sessions. Slept at around 3am.


Sunday
After a long sleep...
Was able to goof around with the twins again before packing up for the day's adventure. No gunbang session this time as the boyz of Screaming BB's have domestic tasks to fullfil. Woke up late! And remembered that I was suppose to attend a mass in Malate with the bro and pinsan Idol. Texted her immediately that the plan will not push through. Awk!

Packed up my stuffs for Virramall. Assembled some of my miniature figs there amongst gawking passers by. Was able to finish a squad of Cygnaran Stormguards and they should be ready for basecoating soon.

Geek mode on.

After dinner at Yoshinoya, we headed back to da Shak to check on Pork who was busy working on an Armoured Core scale model which he was finishing in one effin day!!! This has to be in time for the International Plastic Modellers' Society - Bert Anido Chapter (IPMS-BAC) Armoured Core Competition which he should submit at around 10 that night in Robinson's Galleria.

The scale robot is preeeetty, despite being rushed in assembly and painting. Yes, the insanity is infectious that I should learn how to use an airbrush too. Soon.

Joma arrived at the Shak. No cox in tow. Himala! Buti na lang may Coke kami in reserve. Much tox ensued while Koya stayed in focus for his work. Anito Dog, still as smelly as hell. By around 9:30pm, binitbit na namin lahat ng miniature models for display and rushed to Galleria. It was ingress night for the IPMS's week-long exhibit.

Pag dating dun, tumulong kami mag ayos ng lugar. After the glass panels and tables were assembled, inumpisahan na namin ilatag yung mga miniature figs. As usual, pinagkaguluhan yung mga miniatures ng mga IPMS boys. Oo nga naman, isn't it insane to paint models as small as your thumb? Pero tama yung sinasabi ni Arvs na kung tutuusin mas madali yung ginagawa namin kesa sa kanila. Sa amin kapag nagkamali, madaling burahin or linisin yung errors. All we need is a steady hand and a good eye to work on small details. Sa kanilang modellers ng scale tanks and aircrafts, mas maliit ang room for error since kapag nagkamali sila, kitang kita yung diperensya. Still, they think we miniature painters are insane. Baka nga. Hehe.

IPMS's exhibit last 2005 in Megamall

Ed, Jumping Johnny, and Jason were there din pala with all the miniature model craziness in tow. All the setting up ended at around 2am tapos pumunta kami ng Ortigas to look for a place to chow. We ended up at this Japanese resto near the Call Center strip in Strata. It was downtime on that place last night, when on usual weekdays it was crowded up with spunky call center agents and death stick smog.

Class dismissed at some minutes past 3am kanina. And yep, may pasok ako ngayon. Ayun, I'm half Zombie now.

Geek mode off.

Eto na yung shameless plug:
International Plastic Modellers' Society - Bert Anido Chapter (IPMS-BAC) will have an exhibit of scale models and miniature figs from June 18-23 at the Robinsons Galleria. It will showcase plastic model kits from ships, armoured vehicles, to aircrafts. Mecha Pinoy also has their own sci-fi section for the Armoured Core competition, and to bolster their display, our tropa at da Shak, care of Ed, will exhibit sci-fi and fantasy miniature figs from different miniature gaming systems. The exhibit place is near the Galleria Food Court and McDonald on the ground floor of the building (the open space just across Pho Hoa). Our table is the only one table with lotsa cute little miniature armies (infantry, dragons, and cavalries) on display. You can't miss it.

Visit there if you have time. I might drop by this Thursday and Friday night and most likely the whole day of Saturday before going to the Fete dela Musique 2007. See you!
