Truth is Vince and I were pretty stoked to go on a boat trip with Katrina, Felipe and Isabelle over the weekend. But on Friday, while skies were still clear, we got a NO GO from the Coast Guard.

This only meant I could stay until Wawi's event at Teatrino: Nokia Rock Playlist ended. Monique and I headed over together for this one. There were so many great things about the event:

1. The venue was done up to look and feel gothic.
2. The aircon was working absolutely fine.
3. The bands had great performances: Pedicab, Urbandub, The Dawn, Razorback (which killed it totally, we were on our feet the whole time) and Pepe Smith. Not to mention the backdrop lights and graphics show was pretty neat.
4. Saw lots of familiar faces in the audience.
5. UNLIMITED vodka, beer, iced tea and soda. Wawi, Monique and Lara all took advantage of the "Unlimited" and well, I just enjoyed watching them loosen up, unwind and get just a bit more crazy and lot more lovable (if that was still possible)
6. I was with girlfriends!
7. We met Matthew Fox (well his name is Jorge and he is from Barcelona and Wawi has his number which she now owes and me and Monique because we said we would "pirate" him.) And what's more, Foxy looks you in the eye when you toast. You know what that means.

The show wrapped up after Pepe Smith's set. Wawi had to go on the phone to attend to her next stop for the night (note the precious photo of her with her head in the blue shopping bag), Lara was up and about and ready to continue grooving and dancing at M Cafe (hardcore ka day!), not wanting to be outdone, Vannie and Russell invited Monique and I to do dancing too. So game kame.

After dancing, Monique and I drove off the Big Sky Mind where we found Hank hanging out after hours, post Dredd. Went over to Japoks where I got treated to a meal by a guy I just met and also got treated to a really loud and ESCALATING LQ (lovers quarrel) at the next table (walang music, walang A/C yung Japoks so dinig na dinig kung ano yung topic ng away) man, some things just make you happy to be single ha ha ha!

I blocked off the entire Saturday for Vince, we drove around, bought books, read the books, ate marshmallows and played Mad Libs. After my T-rex went to sleep, we decided to go MoA for whatever was left of Fete dela Musique, hung out a bit with Mondo and Jeng of the Pin ups and Sarah of Taken by Cars, walked around, got lost, we found a Hooters Bar, I could pretty much keep up with the Hooters girls while they were dancing. The mudslide was yummy and the wings were delicious. Our bartender, Erica was pretty chatty too.

The wind got stronger though and I had to chase Hank's hat which blew off and Patton had to chase the Hooters balloons which the wind blew away as well.

Next stop...Big Sky Mind. The last photo was taken about 30 minutes before the lights died and everything turned BLACK. Did the people leave? No, just huddled by the bar, listening to the sounds from someone's cellphone.

The sunrise was gray and rattled the windows.

Sunday sobered me up--hearing the news about the ferry and ultimately being grateful for the roof over my head and the canned goods on the shelf. And of course Vince spent another day of bonding, game playing and my personal favorite: LAMUTAK!!! Days like these make me want to hug him just a bit tighter.

P.S. Hank bought me a black Hooters shirt.
