Week Ends
Saturday Morning, "Quiapo Raid"
Due to sudden turn of events, wala kaming oto ni Pork. So commute kami and from Kamias, we rode to Anonas then took the train to Recto. Hyper nostalgia everywhere!
Kahit san ako tumingin may natatandaan akong nakaraan!
Sa dating Bookmark-Legarda corner Mendiola (na "designated" tagpuan ng mga magkasintahan, na fastfood chain na ngayon)... sa San Miguel basketball court, kung san kami dati nakikipag-gigilan sa mga kalaro naming Muslim para lang sa isang litro ng Coke na ipinusta... sa bilyaran sa likod ng KFC! (na nasa kasuluksukan ng eskinita, pero kitang kita sa taas ng LRT2)... sa Isettan-Avenida... sa Rizal Avenue, na karugtong na ulit ng kalsada papuntang Sta. Cruz... sa Aranque Market, kung san ko binili si Spike (R.I.P.) - yung alaga kong iguana.
Inikot namin buong kaluluwa ng Quiapo... hanggang dun sa loob ng Muslim settlement.
Natatawa ako doon sa lungga ng mga pirata ng dibidi. Hanggang ngayon buhay pa din sila, samantalang may ilang taon na din pinag-iinitan yun ng mga MAY KAPANGYARIHAN!!! I mean, if you really meant to cut down piracy on this area, then it should not be that hard. Ang malupit nito yung mga MAY KAPANGYARIHAN!!! e mga ilang ulit na din bumalik sa area na ito para mang-raid... but it turns out, papiktyur lang lahat tsaka konting paalala sa publiko na may ginagawa sila... kuno. Hehe. When actually, yung labas lang pala ang tinataboy nila para makuhaan ng media. Nabawasan tuloy appeal ni Koya Duds sa akin... ang galing pa naman niya mag "Papaya".
Anyway, it was nice to be back walking along the stinky streets of Quiapo. Sabi ko nga ke Pol, mas safe ang feeling ko na naglalakad doon kesa sa Baclaran. Weird but true. Nung taga San Miguel pa ako, my time going home has never been different than now (at least, most of them)... 1AM to 3AM! Pero mas takot pa ako ngayon sa kalsada sa amin pag gabi kesa nung nasa Quiapo pa ako. Yung "gulo" ng mga tao niya sa paligid ang assurance ko... or maybe that was what made me immune to it.
Ang nabili ko that day...
* Moeler Power Grinder - power tool para sa mga geek na modellers
* shemagh - adik na ko sa shemagh, kulay brown at ORANGE! ang binili ko (oo, fashionista na din ang mga Arabo... may violet at blue pa, odiba!)
* documentary ng gyera sa Vietnam (warfreak ako)
* 3/0 German brushes - pang detalye ng miniatures
Saturday Evening, "Population Cap at Da Shak"
The boyz started trinkling in to make the day a record-holder of the year... at least, for now.
Most boyz at da Shak at 25 denizens in a single day! Parking lot outside, jampacked! Coke-meter was up into 6 or 7(?) 1.5 bottles. I contributed a page worth of new drawings in da Shak logbook.
Attendance: Pork, Phatboi, Jumping Johnny, Longx, Doc Komax, Fides, Kaptin Inferno, Riderman, Jeng, Ed, Mechanically Separated Chikken, Inggo, Lloyd, Omeng, Kaptin Klepto, Kuneho, Jan Liit, Topherboy, Hairy Critter, Mayor Tengco, Fluffy, Jubay Bomber, Kaptin Kantor, Fred Kalbo, Obi, Anito - Champion of Nurgle
The natives were restless! As a semi-quarantine talks ensued between Pol and his titas. Tuluyan na ba kaming sisipain palabas ng Shak? A-BA-NGAN!
Sunday Whole Day, "Battle of Masada"
Regular Sunday airsoft games at Camp Masada with our team - Screaming BB's.
It was nice to see some friends again from Team Apocalypse, and the actual games were not so bad either. The weather was drizzly and just perfect for the action. Sarap pa ng tindang ulam ni Mam Gina! Yub yub!
Attendance: Junbacca, Jinggoy, Omeng, Obi, Hervi, Garrdude, Val Sort-Of
Inggo surprised me with the spanky newly colored Lawnmower - my AK47. It's now in two-tone black and Olive Drab green! Layla - my HK51 - is next in line to get a repaint of the same color scheme. Magkaka-mukha na lahat ng AK47 namin!
I still haven't used the Beretta pistol that I got from Garrboy. But I'm thinking to have it painted with the same colors too. No hurries there though since I haven't thought of a name for it yet anyway. Ano ba magandang pangalan?
Dinner at Nato's in Kamuning afterwards. Wala munang Pulang Kabayo. Wala si Val eh.
