After I humiliated myself at iBlog 4 by professing my eternal love fandom for MLQ3, he invited me and several other political bloggers for a night of tete-a-tete over heart-attack inducing food at Barrio Fiesta along Wilson Avenue in Greenhills. So there I was sitting, a few feet from MLQ3 and all I could think about was how I was going to ask him to have a photo taken with me. Juned, Butch and Noemi Dado, Arbet Bernardo, Schumey, and Marck were present. We had a discussion on politics (WHAT ELSE?!), the church, current issues such as the Meralco hoopla, GMA (everybody's person), Martial Law, and federalism. I rarely spoke unless directly spoken too. I had a nosebleed I tell you! I felt so uninformed, and un-opinionated. :( The things I spoke of were mostly about Davao City and Mindanao. The dinner was very intimidating and inspiring at the same time. After it, I vowed to spend more time and effort with my political blog. And I shall not be easily frustrated with it. I hope. Oh, and we did talk about blog and bloggers chismis. HULOLZ! And after dinner, I did have my photo taken with MLQ3 c/o Fritz.…

Manila Day 10 Mission: Krispy Kremes
Day 10, May 4, 2008... Last day in Manila... The day arrived and I had only one thing in my mind: Buy Krispy Kremes for Jeztah and the CORPO Boys. I woke up around lunch time. Kuya and I agreed that we will visit our nieces then go somewhere to abuse the gift certificates we got during the Serendra Food Tour. After some playtime, camwhoring, and video taking with our nieces, we hied off to Greenbelt. Some bloggers were meeting there on their way to Cavite to raid Coy's Graduation party. I dropped by McCafe to say good bye. Sniff! Sniff! But I ended up going with them to Cavite. LOL! Highlight of my afternoon: Gibbs Cadiz told me I won his contest. It's the first blog contest I "legitimately" won. Meaning, I didn't get the prize via random luck. So with Kuya Juned, Fritz, Gibbs, AJ, Jeffrey, and Poyt, off I went to Cavite to crash Coy's parteh. AJ was a damn good navigator, just had to say that. Coy had a grand party with plenty of food... yummy food! Coy's mom baked cakes. SARAP! It was fuuuun! We headed back to Metro Manila around 9 pm. Kuya Juned…
My Blog Stats Don't Lie
So it probably won't be the best day of my life ever for a long time. But for now... at this moment... April 28, 2008, was quite awesome. Fakest Birthday Smile Ever! Kuya Andrew's camera went crazy and the photo of my fake birthday smile at Cafe Breton in Podium is now somewhere in oblivion land, but that "surprise" was a crazy one. I cried real tears of anger and sadness. Kawawa naman yung wait staff ng Cafe Breton, nadamay sa bad mood ko. Thanks anyway to the attempt by Kuya, Migs, and Winston to make up for their kakulitan. Lesson: Great food can't cure pain, hurt, sadness, and loneliness, even if it's for free. Manila Ocean Park Had fantastic time with Ate Aileen, Kuya Jay, Miguel Apolo, Kuya Andrew, Migs, Blogie, and Winston at the Manila Ocean Park. They even gave me flowers. Nice! :) Lesson: Keeping in touch with nature is therapeutic. Grand Birthday Bash at Serendra and Bonifacio High Street for Bloggers sponsored by Spot NAKS! I'm like so big time! Kidding! Had a fun but stressful time at this food tour because there was just so much to be taken in a little span of time.…
Manila Day 9: Politics and a Rock Fest
Late start... Had sinigang and beef steak for lunch. Ate it when I woke up at 2 pm. LOL! Spent the afternoon online. Then prepared for a looong night! I was a bit early for the dinner with political bloggers so I went to Theatre Mall. Had a very delicious Iced Cafe Mocha at Starbucks, then bought a nice hair accessory. Naks naman... nagpapaka-girl. LOL! I had a hard time finding a cab from Theatre Mall, but lining up and waiting paid off. Hurrah! And the people beside me were nice so I didn't really have a bad time while waiting. Had a very interesting dinner at Barrio Fiesta along Wilson, with my idol, MLQ3, Juned, Butch and Noemi Dado, Arbet Bernardo, Schumey and Marck. We had discussions about GMA, federalism, Davao politics, the church, Martial Law, and blog chismis. LOL! I felt quite insecure but proud to be among them. ;) Had my picture with MLQ3. FINALLY! :P (To be posted later. Stupid me lost this file. :( ) Fritz happened to pass by when we were getting out of Barrio Fiesta so we walked to Bela Bar together where we met up with Kring and Poyt. The three…

Manila Day 3
I woke up at around 9:30 am, took a bath, ate breakfast, and prepared for a day of gallivanting around. At around 11 am, Kuya, Winston, and I met up with Juned. After a while, Ate Aileen also arrived. We went to Binondo. YEY! We ate at Estero where we had Yang Chow Fried Rice, Scallops with Mushrooms, Sweet and Sour Pork, and Oyster Cake. YUM YUM YUM! After lunch, we met up with Benj. We went on a search for Quickly. LOL! But failed miserably... we spent more time walking around more than anything else. Well, there were also lotsa camwhoring. After Binondo, they went to Intramuros while I hailed a cab to go to Taft. I visited Mineski Grounds. I was able to meet a lot of the DotA players I chat with or play with over G Arena. My ex was there and he was like... uhmmm.... hmmm.... ah, eh... he ignored me. LOL! I also met up with Davao player Yukz who is trying to move to Manila and needed professional and personal advice. Awww... bonding kami! The friendliest people there were Vini, Tony, Roro, Khen, and Papa Bong. :P By 6 pm, I left to…
