Weekend Warlord

Friday - June 27 (Fishy Wishy)
Something Fishy, Eastwood

Off to "Something Fishy" for some very late night gluttonous spree - breakfast buffet! So gluttonous in fact that we need to saunter around the premise first to shake off the belly bulge before driving home (at 3 in the morning!).

1st Plate: longganisa, Chinese rice, tapa, hotdog, egg, lumpiang shanghai
2nd Plate: boneless bangus, pork adobo, garlic rice, egg, tapa
3rd Plate: minatamis na saging
Observations:
1. Nilalangaw na ang Eastwood. Gone were the days when you have to line up as far as "Bed Room" just to get inside "Blue Onion" on a payday Friday.

2. Thus, it's actually cool to roam around the strip these days and mind not a trampling crowd.

3. Wala na masyadong mga tambay na literal na "tambay". Hahaha.

4. Ang daming condo (at dumadami pa!) around the area pero wala namang masyadong laman yung mga units. They're just clogging up that part of the strip with senseless traffic.

5. I was thinking of working in Eastwood for a change. Now, I scratched it off my thought. The area feels melancholic. Perfect suicide scenario for emos at mga emo-emo-han. Not as lively as a Makati rush hour or the street party-ish atmosphere of Emerald Ave at night (pag nag sabay sabay ng yosi break ang mga call center peeps).

Saturday - June 28 (Lomo Gumbo)
Cubao Expo

Went with Pork to Cubao-X to hangout with other lomophyles. Haven't been around the area for a long time and although photography is not my thing, it's still one of my greatest frustrations. So off to Cubao, kalbo!

one of the vintage shops in Cubao Expo
What sets me on right away is the fact that the entire strip exudes an aura of old pop culture, things we consider vintage. I dig. And dig I did literally! There were vintage shops that sells stuffs from the Maria Leonara Teresa (kilala mo yan?) era up to 80's thingamajigs like old "Bagets" photos of Vice Mayor Bistek! Who would have thought it could still be marketable? Pero wala ako nabili. I like this vintage Volkswagen shirt. But I thought against buying it. Wala naman akong Volks.

And then there's Mogwai! It's a haven for film buffs and people who are on that "frequency". I did blogged about it HERE. Wasn't able to try the poop coffee though. It wasn't amongst the agenda that day.

Mogwai on the far left
The lomo peeps doesn't seem to have a good organization. It seemed most (members?) were there just to hangout and parade their cameras and nothing else. There were no conspicous org heads that stepped up and there were no interactions happening regarding the hobby. Tambay lang. Ganun lang. Ati Tins, dapat talaga andun ka!

My friend had a good time shooting places and people though. There were cosplayers that day but if I was the one behind the camera, I'd care less for them. Their J-culture looks were just too off with the Cubao-X surroundings.

After Cubao, tambay kami sa shop sa Virramall. And then after a quick dinner at Mien Sann, direcho na sa Shak.

Shak Attendance: Crispy Beef Ribs, Jep, Topher, F-Tits, Koya Ian, Jumping Johnny, Kapten Klepto, Kapten Kantor, Fritz, Fluffman, Obi Doobie Doo, Kuneho, Jan Liit, Hervi, Pork, Doc Komax

Boyz piled up on Plim's laptop for some Starcraft action. Praktis para sa nalalapit na Starcraft 2? Abangan!

Class dismissed at 2:30AM.

Sunday - June 29 (Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang)
Meycauayan, Bulacan

Our airsoft team (Screaming BB's) is back in full force as ol'time member Jorge rejoined the ranks after several years of absence from the battlefield because of his work in Middle East. Parang reunion ng grupo... wala na lang sila Sultan and the Bravo Team (Cua Kids).

SBB Attendance: Topher, Jan Liit, Jubay Bomber, Bozz Gelo, Garrkid, Obi Doo, Jorge, Jeng, Jinggoy, Rommel the Boss, Lloyd, Mechanically Separated Chicken, Gem's Private Army (GPA), Dy-Lim United

Labindalwang oto kaming lahat. At labindalwang oto yun na paikot-ikot ng Meycauayan dahil sabay sabay kaming nawala. May pa convoy convoy pa hahaha. SBB, GPA, and Dy-Lim's army... ni-register kami under one name - People's Park. I dunno where'd they got it but sounds aptly Chinese to me (since Intsik ang founders ng tatlong grupo) so ok na din. Kalaban namin combination ng Bulacan teams.

Gelo was there! Pinahiram ko sa kanya si Layla the HK51 (yes bozz, my guns have names). And of course, dahil andun siya - umulan! Truly a rain-child this ork iz. It was still a fun day. Lumaro kami nang umuulan pero hindi naman ganun buong araw. I, myself, had been missing-in-action for months now so rain or shine walang pipigil sa aking panggigigil hehe. I say, the games were above mediocre. I enjoyed. Ang ganda din ng pagka-jungle ng site.

this AK47 is just too Americanized... but I dig!
Too bad we had serious casualties that day. Si Jeng tinamaan sa upper lip and the BB pellet stucked that it has to be popped out of the upper dermis. It din't stop bleeding until that night on dinner. It has this nasty hole in his face. Si Lloyd naman tinamaan sa tenga. It bled too. They were ok by the end of the day. Part of the game yung injury risks. They were not clad in proper safety attire anyway. I myself was guilty of it since I was down to wearing just a tshirt as upper garment on our last game. Mas magaan kasi kumilos. But I do NOT tolerate it to newbies we bring in to play. Ilang taon na kami sa hobby to know what "hurtage" we deserve with such stupidity.

Dinner was at Jay-J's - Timog Ave.

Thanks God for everything!
