no war weekend

Due to the recent SONA by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo I unsurprisingly had a very long weekend. And I mean a long one... 5 days of doing nothing. Well not actually, here's a recap of what I did for the last 5 days.

Thursday - Had a meeting with the SBC boys in Megamall. After, Benny had some "diego" things to attend to while Verchie went to another meeting. Then JM and I proceeded to ACE hardware to buy some silicone spray for gun maintenance purposes. They had none though, but at least I ended up buying a pair of long nose pliers.

Then we went on to Airsoft Warehouse to check some items out. I bought the under grip rail, vertical foregrip and fan for my constantly fogging goggles.

JM and I proceeded to go to Shopwise in Libis to see if they had anymore silicone spray left (JM bought his there). Unfortunately it seems that they were out of stock. So JM decided to just lend his can to me for the day, so we went off to this place to get it and grab some grub. Verchie dropped by with more war stuff. To say the least there where 3 war guys with war stuff in the war house... you do the math.

We ended the day with a couple of hours of Battlefield 2 in Blueskies.

Friday - Checked my office email at home to get a whole bunch of SPAM mail from my officemates. Proceeded to Katipunan to meet the war boys for another round of Battlefield 2. Wanted to go out to a party but had to pack for the trip to the beach the next day.

Got home at around 10, packed my bag and went to bed.

Saturday - Woke up at 5:30 am to head off to Fort Bonifacio to meet up with the troops heading to Batangas. We were supposed to meet up at Starbucks at the Fort, however it was closed 'til 7:30 am. So I waited for them to arrive at the nearby gasoline station. I should have stayed in bed a bit longer as they where all late, considering either they had a car or lived nearby.

Anyway, off we went to the beach. We stopped by Petron SLEX to grab breakfast at McDo and buy the necessary essentials. Unfortunately they don't sell alcoholic beverages since it was along the highway (safety and all that shit), so we just bought some foodstuff for pulutan. Luckily we chanced upon a sari-sari store somewhere in Batangas and got hold of some Tanduay rhum and some softdrinks for our mixed drinks.

We arrived at the beach resort with no hassle and proceeded to our hut, and our first though was to get the booze out and get things flowing. Then we found out 2 things we forgot, actually 3.
1. We did not have ice.
2. We did not have platic cups.
3. We did not bring playing cards.

Funny thing is, all the time we were planning this outing we were only concerned with what to drink and our pulutan. Nobody bothered with the "little" things. The joke was "basta may alak masaya na".

the booze


In any case, we were pretty much "happy" at around 5pm. We were so wasted we had a hard time keeping the score on our poker game. The solution was to use Nagaraya nuts as "chips" and to keep on "checking" when someone goes "all-in".

poker "chips"... more like nuts


Sunday - I basically slept through the morning, had breakfast and massage. Then the trip back to Manila. Did some shopping for items in a hardware shop (of course, related to gunsmithing).

Monday - Went out for a movie with my officemates. Also had sisig at Aysee's, which was a long time since the first and last time I ate there. One of the best sisig ever!
