Tidbits of What Was Life In College

My mom got sick. I think it has been twice that she got sick and collasped.
She took a rest for two days now. She didn't go to a doctor for the mere reason she claims she only needs rest.
I couldn't bug her since she'll challenge me: May pera ka ba? (Do you have money?)
-sigh-
I wish thru my hardwork and perseverance I will get a salary either in my current office or a better opportunity
wherein my mom wouldn't be concerned if I still have money if I had plans for our family eg. medical check-ups.

I also went to my former school last Friday.
I can't helped but smile. In one day, I manage to experience some tidbits of what was life in college.
Here they are.

1st- Travel.
I used to ride a jeep and it requires a lengthy trip. So say hello to air-dry hair.

2nd- Sunny Day and Trees.
DLSU-D has a nice environment. When the sun shines brightly, you can't help but fell in love with the campus.
To the yaoi fangirls: If you're familiar with Gravitation's opening in the anime-before the song will be played,
you'll see that view in DLSU-D.
Also, our 'Rotonda' reminds me of Meteor Garden's F4 School.

3rd- Amazing Race.
I still need to go from one building to another just so I can find and get some papers signed.
One even suggested I come back after lunch.
"Hanapin nyo na lang po si Sir Manny kung makukuha mo yun letter today or bibigyan ka na lang ng date."
Ano ba yan. I'm an alumna. I need to be prioritized. -peace, laughs-
Hm..I don't know who Sir Manny is. >.< It seems there have been a lot of changes already at my dear Alma Mater. Somehow, it occur to me that my professors can't recall my name. Ouch! I think only one prof in La Salle who will remember to call me Nagi. The rest would call me by my last name or would act and pray they will not need Shinigami's eyes to know me. I was roaming around when I met a pair (two girls) cosplaying at school. I know one of them so I greeted them "Hello Cosplayers!" They were glad I greeted them then they offered me a flyer and started introducing the org they are part of. From the alumni hall, everyone were busy. I manage to see the booth of the org of the two girls whom I talked to earlier. Very Genki promotion. Some of the members were in cosplay. One girl cosplaying in Misa Amane fashion said to me: Ate, gusto mo sulat ko name mo? I only manage to say: "Paunahan tayo." XD Tell me if I did make a good punchline. Just then, someone from Honor's Society shouted: "Ate Nagi!" I went to her immediately. We had a small talk and exchanged email adds for Friendster. She saw me at the Genshiken booth and asked, "Under po ba yan sa KamuiGroup?" I told her, "Hindi. Tho kilala ko yun iba diyan." She then commented, "Astig ka nung naka-black coat ka." She pertains to the time I cosplayed Akabane at school. I thanked her and before it rained, I bade goodbye to everyone I knew and knew me as well. Finally, 4th RAIN
Due to the trees in DLSU-D, they aggravate the rainpour. If you're in a badluck,
some branches would fall at you. Thankfully, in my 4 years in La Salle,
I didn't experience that.
Even though my pants got wet, I loved the feeling that it reminds me how it was when it rains in DLSU-D.
Sometimes people would argue "Naulan na." The other would say "Naambon lang kaya."
It's because of those Gravitation-inspired trees. -lol-

Anyway, I hope in my next visit at DLSU-D. It will be sunny day all throughout.
I didn't ask for my yearbook yet since it might get wet.

A Saturday at Mall of Asia: Marthy Angue of Mangaholix and Jamie Bautista of CAST

We went to MangaHolix last Saturday.
BFF Mikki and I met up near my place then rode a taxi going to MoA.
Gyah~ So many human at the con!
And it was nice I saw a lot of familiar faces from DLSU-D.
I was wearing a sporty get-up and my! I sweat a lot!
I bought some cards that costs around 3pcs/10php.
I bought Sanji of One Piece cards. ^_^ Why does he resembles Yuki Eiri of Gravitation?
We met with Marthy and I was bugging him to give me a free copy of Mangaholix. ^.^;
But I ended buying one in support for Marthy.
-kung di lang kita kaibigan, peace!-

Anyway, Mikki and I left Mangaholix
By lunch time, I met with my bro, Rob.
He texted me: Meet me at the ~Graphic Novel section.
Sosyal.
And so Mikki and I did.
On our way to NBS, we met her anaks.
Hehe.. it has been a tradition they'll bring this illustration board and they'll
scribble some funny stuff.
Rob's board says, "I want to be your Princess 2x"

Then we met up with my bro and had lunch.
We all ate at HAPPY LUCKY.
It's near Tokyo Tokyo and Chef D' Angelo.
I hope you guys will try eating there too. ^.^
It's cheap and the food are great!
We liked HAPPY LUCKY that we asked for their calling card.
After lunch, we went back to the Music Hall.
We saw a guy who was cosplaying Mido Ban.
When we confirmed he is indeed a cosplayer and not a costripper.
Ban was wearing his BLACK SANDO SHIRT. No white shirt yet.
Mikki and her kids gathered up for a photo.
We teased Ban by holding the board: "I want to be your Princess 2x"
But everybody loved his charm so we spared the board.

We stayed at Mangaholix til 4pm.
Then we shifted to PowerBooks to attend a Comics Seminar.
The speaker was Jamie Bautista of CAST.
Rob was active when Sir Jamie asked some stuff.
Talo nya ako sa recitation. -sad-
Through that seminar, it made me realize more the status of the Comic Industry here.
I salute Sir Jamie and his crew for the works and activities they do.
I see them as catalysts for tapping the potentials of Pinoy comic artists.

After the seminar, Rob wanted a pic with Sir Jamie.
Then we stood up, he backed out. He felt shy all of a sudden.
While I was waiting for the right time.
Mikki demanded to us, "Tayo na!"
She was pissed off and I got scared by Mami Kyouya~~~
And so we did.
My brother got his pic taken with Sir Jamie and left Powerbooks
as a proud fan.
Too bad, he didn't know Sir Jamie would be the speaker.
If he did, he would surely brought Cast.
FYI, Rob's bday is today.
We also approached Sir Jamie for his contact info, along with Greg of Genshiken.

After the seminar, we went back to Mangaholix.
I met up with Marthy and Lee. I still haven't meet Julie/July. -.-

Mangaholix's group cosplayers were cool in doing skits.
Esp the Street Fighter Alpha group (basta I call them that. >.< Not sure what SF line tho)
They won 1st,right ne? yay!

For our dinner, we ate at CRAZY ROLL.
It's a competitive priced Japanese restaurant.
I'd love to eat there again! ^_^
They serve big servings.
And hopefully, leave a signature at their table.

So there. Saturday at Mall of Asia was tiring.
Lots of leg work yet FUN. ^_^

Sugod Chiz Escudero

-sweat- Okay, I was busy at work and forgot to update my siomai.
(redirect: www.siomai.tk)
Hm.. there was another reshuffling again at our company.
I have a new boss. He's YAOI!
Strict yet he's the type that you wouldn't cringe just as long as you work your ass off.
He is patient. I wish the two of us wouldn't be in conflict. ^^
I'm so lucky to have nice bosses even if they are strict.
It was MOTHER'S DAY! ^^ My mom's bday is on May8.
I didn't buy her a gift on her bday since I was sick then.
I only manage to make a banner that says HAPPY BDAY MAMA.
Though for Mother's Day, I bought her a perfume at Body Shop.
When I gave it to her she was jokingly said,"Ano kaya kapalit nito?"
-panned- How did she know?! -laughs- I guess for 22 years, my actions are already predictable to her.
~Mga nanay talaga.

I managed to attend Mami Kyouya/Mikki's church.
I had fun. Ika nga ni Mikki: ASAPmania.
True. The songs were genki. May choreo and all.
I was also touched with the sermon.
It's about blessing.
They mentioned the greater the blessing, the greater the responsibility.
I totally agree.
We bought some buko pie nearby the church and it was TASTY!

Yesterday, ELECTION DAY!
My indelible ink was so thick. Augh!
Sayang lang manicure ko. -laughs-
People (relatives, neighbors) were bugging me who I voted for the Mayor post and below.
I was dodging the topic. Why should you guys know?
Anyway, I was surprised my mom voted for Chiz.
I was like, "Oh cool! We like the same candidate." ^.^
And he's leading at the count this morning.
Yay! You go Chiz.
I wonder if Lolo Rai/Lolo Pepe did vote him too.
Chiz used his song,right?
Unbelievably, Trillanes and Honasan got into the top12 as of this morning.
While Lim leads in numbers in the mayor race for Manila.
Anjo Yllana was second in the vice-mayor race for Paranaque.
The incoming candidates would determine somehow what type of President and VP we might have in the
next election.

Going back with work, it's so busy here that I can't work on getting my masterals.
I plan to take it this year. Target: June 2007.
I wish I can get use my leaves to check my requirements.
However I got deadlines to beat. Hm..

The Voice From the Past

I was having a tough time since Friday. I got colds and coughs too much.
Right now, I don't have my voice.
The doctor advised me not to drink cold water (which I've been doing since I got this cold) and avoid any sweets (which sadly I have not taken any even before my colds).
We had an event last Saturday and that requires me to work. I still went on with it.
It was hard to interact with people. Yet I enjoyed meeting the organizers. It just sucks that I don't have my voice. waah~
I didn't go to work today. I've been trying to rest since yesterday.
This is the 2nd time I got sick since I started working.
However, my mind goes off to the deadlines I should meet, the clients I need to serve and all those stuff. Making it really hard to just lie down and relax since I'm thinking what am I going to do.
Somehow, there's this wishful thinking that I don't want to recover yet.
I want to rest. A complete peaceful rest.
No, not death. XD

Just the freedom that you don't have any responsibility to answer your ass to.
But we all know that doesn't happen everyday!
ahaha.. and so I just need to keep my sunny disposition that all bad things will end.
Good things will come soon and I will learn something from all of this.
