Woke up at four in the morning. An hour later me and Isnit were ready to drive Yen to school. With a minor problems concerning Yen's untimely bowel movement we were forced to drive faster than usual.
After picking one of her tardy friend, almost ran a chicken over, got lost on Trinity's grounds, and screaching to a complete stop at the front gate, we dropped them both with two minutes to spare.
Then we got home, in a much slower pace, Nana was already eating breakfast. Joining her, we ate some insignifant food. Later Alain came down too and said his goodlucks.
With only an hour to ready ourselves we move with haste. Nana, who was game, was decked in pink. From head to toe. And wearing a skirt that stops mid-thigh. I was in casual with boots. Isnit was wearing a black polo, which he consistenly check for flints, and his chains. And to our surprise, quarter before seven, Roy came and wearing his what we call "roy-outfit". Seven on the dot came Raymund. Then a minute later we went off.On the way to WTC we passed some of Roy's detours. By 8:10 we were at the WTC and was a bit surprise by the horde of people standing in line. We also found out later that some of them were waiting in line since five in the morning.
Fanatics.
After parking the car we just stood out front and waited for the doors to open. We stood there for more than an hour. To help pass the time we talked of all types of topic. From the game Utopia to Shera to her noble steed Spirit... which was a cracker. We are cracking up like loons.
Later due to our boredom and complaining feet, we decided to go in line. After passing all through registrations and passports [for leaving the sane planet and going to another dimension] we found ourselves inside the convention center.
Welcome to the geek community!
And then we saw the chairs. We could have wept for joy.
The program was fast-paced except for the long speech of the vice-whatever lady. Then without further ado, the championship began. The Renegades where all decked in a pink shirt. And I do think that that factor help them loose the game.
Actually I think they never won a single match. The only highlight or memorable moment was on their second match when the only player left was their knight who surprisingly survived six Asura Strike and has the gall to giggle about it. But then he too was wiped out.
Our disappointment was huge. It was so huge that we became hungry.
After match four we thought of going home. But first we need to find Ginox for his Chips Ahoy cookies that I brought for him. While waiting for him to find us we went to the Shadow Maiden booth, where Khaloy bought a mug.
And I saw some of my neighbors there too.
When Ginox came, I gave him his cookies and said that we are heading on home. But of course we were curious on how the F8 guild people looks like. So we went back and waited for Ginox to find his shopmates.
While waiting for Ginox to find them we saw Ran/Trishan. I run off and told Roy [who has a major crush on him]. And of course Roy went to Ran and had some chitchat time.
Career! That's what we were screaming in our minds during those moments while I was ogling the acolyte-jesus-rocker-christ and Raymund his assassin guy.
The first person that was introduced to me was Arnis and Genoscythe but all I saw was Arnis. Then later I had to pee so I dragged Nana to the ladies room. When we came back Gino left telling that he'll be back in a moment. He'll just look for our guildmates. His "in a moment" was about three matches long. During that time Nana was telling us about the episode a while ago when Ginox was calling her "Lana" how many times and she was just staring at the wall before it cut through her mind that she was the Lana Ginox was calling. Later we watching the match we noticed this random guys wearing Renegades shirts passing us by. Then sitting in front of us and reading our nametags. Khaloy and Nana noticed it. I, as usual was oblivious. Both of them noticed the group pointing and whispering, "Aeons".
Yeah. Obviously, Ginox found the guild and told them our location and he let them swarm around us like flies around a carcass. We, were unknowingly, were the carcass.
He left us there to be stared at. Like freaks.
The bastard.
After the third match when I think they already had their fill in staring at us, they came over and introduced themselves.
F8_player/ Kuya Rey was a tone whiter than the rest and of meduim height. Elephunk/ Darrel was thin, talkative and gay. JV/ Kusanagi was small, fat, shy and dark. Shin Kyo/Kusanagi was taller than JV, shy, dark and nondescript. Ryan/Burzum doesn't look like Richard Guttierez at all, he was tall, not fat, and dark. We even shared a low-five. Rap is tall indeed and very thin and have a very narrow shoulder. JR was medium height, lean, dark and again nondescript. Micheal/Michael was a total kid. Small and thin. Rome/Michael/Bulaklak was hiding behind his cap and paper fan. Rex/ F8_Rian-blood was tall and big and nondescript. Idoy was of medium height and dark. And my hubby RO-wise is short and dark.
I could see a genetic resemblance here. Maybe they breed people like that in Valenzuela. Who knows.
During one of the short breaks we decided to roam around. I was supposed to buy a Deviruchi cap for Nana and Khaloy was to see if Chip and Cheese [sounds like a chips with dip] were there. But our quest was in vain. They ran out of Devi cap and the guys weren't able to come.
After round eight we decided to head on home and have a decent meal. Waving a hasty goodbye to our guildmates standing at our back, we scram for the exit. But we were waylaid when someone grabbed my arm. It was Kuya Abe.
What a nice surprise. After some chitchat. We headed towards the exit with more determination than before. Oh glory be. We are out.
Then after eating at KFC, Roy made a dash for glory too.
Much later, back at our house we decided that we are tired and it's much better if we just watch My Wife is a Gangster 1 & 2. Unfortunately our DVD was stubborn on playing just Constantine.
Blast it.
So when boredom came, hunger strikes. We, out of the blue, decided to go to Eastwood to eat supper. So we drove that far just to eat. OJ's is good. We were able to see Jericho Rosales [this is my second sighting of him. All in Libis.] and his co-star for his upcoming movie, Heart Evangelista. I think nobody was in awe when they saw them.
Later we drove Isnit and Raymund to their drop zone and head for home. Again.
