10:26pm: Was it a productive weekend ?
Saturday:Showed up at SM Marikina to be Fed's LOL wingman to attend a Tabletop Gamers' Meet
Met Mike, Miyaw, Krimi, Antony, Mark and other familiar faces. I did my best not to look like the clueless guy that i usually am in geek meets.
i wish i could remember the name of the organizing groups,
ah, the PUGS - Philippine Underground Gamers Society
and the other one's name really escapes me right now
anyway, it's been years since ive actually sat down and played anything like a
throw a die make a move read the rules and think your tactics true blue tabletop game.
but im sure i had fun.
Mike introduced me to James, a slight gal in glasses,
we had a few moments of wide eyed staredown immediately after being introduced
but nothing really transpired. after a few games in different tables, we'd catch each other looking at each other's direction.
i guess we both were just trying to decipher what the heck the other was thinking.
We superficially caught up with whatever most everyone else was up to -
jobs, houses, TV shows, our collective japanophillia, futbol - general fandom things.
after dinner we all left for the North of EDSA
got lucky and hitched a ride to Trinoma for my job....
we had a pre-event set-up for my office's
All About Scrapbooking Fair for Sunday.
Sunday:Showed up at the Pasig Ortigas office to fix a music CD to be played during the event.
ive gotta put the playlist in my multiply site sometime.
and then flew to the other end of EDSA to deliver the CD to Trinoma.
after that i loitered around, mostly at National Book Store.
bought a 9 peso sketchpad (thank god for Best Buy!) and went back to the Trinoma's Activity Center
to idly draw the Scrapbooking participants.
a thin girl, her fey buddy, and a mom and daughter
a MILF rushing across the activity center
but i wasnt able to draw enough as we got busy clearing up after the event.
it was a well-attended event, finished on timeand so i had enough energy to wander around.
went back home to the Katipunan area via UP.
i wish i knew how to contact the dorm kids in my friends list
so i can YO! disturb them when i come visiting the Unibersidad.
i wish i could have had dinner with any of them,
i can bring hot cocoa or coffee - pampalubag ng loob,
consuelo de bobo for tolerating my LOL presence....
anyway...
i eventually rolled on to Katipunan and had a microwave sandwich and cold M'Dew at Mini-Stop.
Pulled out the sketch pad and began doodling the scene outside the glass walls.
The rider didnt look older than sixteen yet there's the yosi in his fingers.
A girl in cargo shorts went in the Mini-Stop,
looked into the ice cream section and then walked out
towards the opposite street. Jiggly thighs.
Eventually my small busy corner got noticed by a pair of little girls
who at first stared at me but couldnt help but chat me up.
I guess they were barely five and seven years young, asking me about my drawing skills and lamenting that they sucked at drawing
Of course i had to ask if they went to school and if they knew how to write.
after all anyone who can write can draw,
so i had to encourage them by any familiar thing to them. In this case it was school and handwriting.
they were very earnest to strike a pose for me - and soon the tricycle drivers from the other side of the glass wall was looking at my table. Couldnt hear what their conversation was,
but i guess they knew the girls coz they were pointing and admiring them and the artist-freak theyve stumbled upon.
soon the Mini-Stop crew was rubbernecking too just to see my progress with the pair of girls.
Oh well. Its very rarely someone like me comes visiting them and
doing odd things like doodling while eating.
I gotta do this immersion thing more often again.
Went home much later than i planned coz of the doodling activity, but hey, i wasnt in a rush anyway. I had no office work on Monday.
Monday:Woke up late around 1oam and found the sungit little girl working on the living room pc.
still had some drawing energy left over from the previous evening,
and so expended the last of it on her.
and here we come to another crashland ending
to a TLDR livejournal entry.
forgive me, haha!
