as always, this post is late. i've been very tardy lately, and heck i ain't troubled about it.
So there, saturday. Went to Makati to work (yeap, I'm officially spending tuesdays and saturdays in Makati). When I was along Ayala Ave from Makati Ave I heard this stranged noise underneath me, like some gargoyle's playing with the nuts and bolts of my car. Soon enough I learned that I've overused my brake pads. The experience freak me out, imagining stuff like what if I lost the brakes altogether and I end up flying through the windshield due to some freak accident (I should stop watching Final Destination sort of flicks)?
But then again I was looking forward to this nice evening with my beloved ancients. So I said to myself, bahala na. Babagalan ko na lang mag-drive. Ha-ha! As if. Maybe God just got tired of reminding me to drive ever more careful so He just took my brake pads and said, Hah! Galingan mo ha?. Hehe...

Met with my Anne Rice family at Coffee Bean. Jomi, Emyr and Maya were the early birds. I was half an hour late (ahem, considering that i was just around the corner). New experience today: I parked on my own. Hah! Well to be totally honest, I dint see the usual valet parking guys at GB3. Mwehe...
Louis, as always, was stunning. He lost a lot of weight, and so did Jomi. Emyr, well, he don't have much to lose. Hehe... Mahal kita Emyr. (ahahahahaa...) Emyr looked preppy and cute ( oh yan ha, bawi na ko). Maya, she'll give you the impression that she's very shy, soft-spoken and all. Yeah right. Haha! Ces came afterwards and together we bought our coffees. She dint change much but I think she also lost weight. Ako lang yata nde naglose ng weight. Heehee... Paul came last, fresh from an accident. A motorcycle just smacked him down cold. He had three band-aids on his right elbow. No major stuff, thank God. Louis handed me the vampire journal that we used as sort of a registry during the first gathering. I was ecstatic! But you know deep in my heart I kinna felt sad, like paranoid-sad, like I'm losing my Louis little by little.
Then I noticed that Louis' unusually quiet. I asked if there's something wrong. He wouldn't talk about it at first, but then he couldn't resist Bianca. He followed us to the bar where he told me what had upset him. Oh how my heart broke. For a moment there I was speechless, only able to sigh and say oh, Louis over and over again. I asked him not to be like that, since I haven't seen him in the longest time. I dint wanna see him angry and disappointed.
Spent a good couple o' hours planning for the upcoming event. Can't help but fall inlove with this group over and over again. How their minds work still captivates me after all these months that I'm with them. And with this kind of enthusiasm I'm getting a strong vibe that the upcoming gathering is going to be a blast, maybe even better than the first. We all took responsibilities. I, for example, am going to decorate the place, together with Nii. And I'll also cook.
Alas came the time to go. I almost got sad looking at them leave one by one. But then again I thought of the upcoming gathering and how it would make us all busy for the days to come, especially me, who'd have to contact everyone. I don't mind the responsibility really, since I'm doing it for the ones I love.
And for those who dint make it, hehe... See you soon. ARNIItots, I HATE YOU. =P You better show up anytime soon. We have a lot to talk about, you crazyhead you!
^_^
Drove all the way home praying that I make it in one piece. And I did. I sent Louis a message telling him how I felt that night. He was quick to give me a call. It was a relief to know that the thing that made him angry has been dealt with, and that he does not plan to leave the group nor abandon his love for Anne Rice. He's merely starting on a new adventure, recollecting the books, starting from scrap. Maybe my Louis' starting to become a little like Lestat. ;)
