Island-Hopping

I went to Bacolod last week for my VOY District Competition. I left Iloilo Friday afternoon, had VOY Saturday a.m. and returned home at noon for Saturday afternoon’s PMO Area.

The Voyage


- I sat beside Mr. Jeffron-Saffron, the Ateneo guy. He was sooo weird. This is how he introduced himself: Yo… you know, Nina always talks about you… she’s says you’re weird, but I’m used to it… I’M WEIRD TOO.

- Tropic Thunder was the inflight enernaiment. When Mr. Saffron figured out that it was the one being shown, he was like, “Oh yeah, oh yeah!!!” like a child finally realizing that Mommy’s got ice cream for him. All the while, he was laughing out loud – ALONE.

- The sea started getting grumpy. The boat tossed and turned like a nightmare, and I saw Mr. Saffron waving and twirling his right hand and fingers to the rhythm of the waves.

The Afternoon

- Arrived at the O Hotel after a sordid ride with Lagon and Saffron beside me. We got our rooms, went to our rooms, and Mr. Pistachio stayed in ours for a few minutes because his was still being cleaned. He sat on our sofaee like a princess while czhit-czhattin with ma mommah.

- We went to Virgie’s first. Walked from the hotel since it’s only as far as Yangkee to Alan’s. People were secretly laughing at the dyosa’s wiggling butt.

- We went to Robinsons. We ate at Calea. Sip and I unknowingly exchanged cakes. When paying time came, he even asked, “Miss, pwede credit card?” Big time talaga!

- We went grocery-ing. Sip talked about how he would even come to Bacolod if there’s a sale since it’s all sooo good. Man, daming pera kaya! He bought all his toiletries (Ax, a sossy toothpaste, a sossy toothbrush, etc). We went back to the hotel.


Twilight

- Kano sugatted us. We rode a car. They talked about Huasiong. Then about Tiongsan. Then about gayhood. I thought Sipsy cringed a bit there.

- We went to SM. We libotted the stupid SM. Nothing eventful much.


The Horrid Dinner

- We went to Kansei (?) for a Japanese dinner. Upon arriving, Herman said to me, “Oh Vincen, we were just talking about you.” Damn him. And I replied, “Oh it’s okay sir, I didn’t trip.” Slow brain of his. And a funnily stupid mouth he’s got.

- The doctor guy, the Roxas people, and the rest of the gang started toasting me and asking me all sorts of stupid questions like “Oh so what was you’re question in the nationals?” Duh.

- The doctor guy and mamita chatted the night away. No one bothered to have a one-on-one tete-a-tete with sipsy. Poor her.

- When San Mig Light rounds came, salvation also came. We left with the first batch (Dipolog guys) and upon exiting the resto, Sipsy cried, “Free at last, free! Thank God Almighty, we are free!”


The Night

- We heard a gunshot.

- Sipsy staged a concert in his room, singing “Family” from
Dreamgirls.

Contest Day

- The USLS duo was like our meet-and-greet staff. Nice people.

- Hated the topic: No one really knows what he can do until he tries. Managed to pull off a third place with much ek-ek.

- St. John’s is a beautiful school. Huasiong is envious.


PMO

- Zhuan Gi was like so frantic. He called me when I was on the boat, upon arriving in Iloilo, and on the car to siguradofy that I was actually on my way to UP.

- Upon arriving, he was waiting for me at the main bldg with Sir Roge. He told me, “Ikaw na lang pag-asa namun ha.” Duh, then why bother with the rest. Stupid!

- PMO was deadly.


Eli’s birthday

- Fun.

- The Julie Gang bought Eli a shirt that's the exact style as my Ateneo shirt. Oh well…

- Walked to Shakey’s to meet my ginhikanan.
