Sick

I met up with Harold and other high school batchmates trying to promote indie releases of their songs. We walked around Session Road and finally ended up at an ice cream parlor at the corner of Assumption Road. There we met up with Vince for ice cream and laughs. When I got home (Campo Sioco), I spent my time playing with the dogs before hitting the sack.

The next morning, I got up and I walked over to Ma and found Scottie really sick. Apparently, he had gotten a weird virus which was weakening his immune system and caused him to rapidly rot from within. A few minutes later, he was gone, the virus had eaten him from inside. And, when I asked Ma where he had gotten it, she answered "...from you.."!

What? Where'd I get it? was I infected? Who else was?

Ten and I were both infected, we just stayed home and rested, hoping to make it through the day. The virus also had the effect of speeding up the development of pests. And with my weak immune system, my skin became a playground for bugs and worms.

It was already late in the afternoon, I was feeling so weak. I looked at myself in the mirror for the first time today, and saw that boils had taken over my face. I could hear the flies buzzing in my skin. There was a whole lot of activity under there.

Then I woke up.

That was one friggin' bad dream. Did it mean anything?

Long Weekend

October 7-10 was a long weekend for the company. They schedule PM activities for this particular weekend, so we decided to drive up home to Baguio. We left Cavite around 11:30pm and were inhaling Baguio's cold morning air by4:30am.

Lined up for Saturday was Dani's (a godchild) birthday:

The Kids with the McDonald's Mascot

The big kids playing around with their party hats

Meeting up with Sonny:

"One a bimmer, two a bimmer, three a bimmer, not!"
The mustang hangs out with his European cousins

Sunday was surf day, or so we thought. All the other spots we checked on the way to The Backyard were flat. The Backyard showed potential, which eventually did not push through.

The only sign of movement during a flat day

Hanging out waiting, wishing, watching...

Finally giving up, we rinse the boards and drive back up

2006 Sport Truck and Custom Car Show

With water and electricity finally restored last Saturday night, I was able to sched a quick trip to Megamall for the car show. The show had a little for everybody, rice racers, american vintage, euro racers, 4x4's, a couple of big bikes and a lot of things in between. The few entries that caught my eye were:

A GT500E replica (All "Eleanor's" from the remake of Gone in 60 seconds were Shelby GT500 replicas, until he signed them in as GT500E's. The kit used for this particular one is the same as the one used in the movie, from Unique Performance):
