A day in the life…

Manny Pacquiao beats Erik Morales with a knockout in Round 3.

If I were one of those people in Las Vegas, I would’ve felt shortchanged.

Imagine buying US$10,000 worth of tickets for a bout that lasted for about 10 minutes.

Tsk, tsk. Okay lang siguro kung hindi pera ng bayan ang pinambili...

SM North’s new wing called The Block was filled with geeks from all over Metro Manila.

They were competing for the Bandai Asia Kit Universal Cup. BAKUC for short.

When I arrived at the Activity Area, all the dorks were in front of the stage, watching intently at the very first Gundam series being played onscreen.

The said series was released in 1979. And these geeks are so into it. Still.

My SO, who joined the competition, didn’t win. As expected. I mean, the results were dubious… but what the hey, at least my SO has a life…

When I was young, I wanted to grow up already because you can do a lot of things when you’re an adult.

Now that I’m all grown up, I wanna be a kid again so I could not do the things I don’t want to do.

What a life.

In this light, I would like to say thanks a bunch to the people who have stuck, who have passed by and gone, and who would still come my way.

To my family and relatives, who have been with me literally and figuratively;

to high school friends whom I rarely see but always remember;

to college friends whom I also don’t get to see much but whose faces are in my mind and heart;

to colleagues, past and present, ‘ika nga ni Kerpal, "you bastard guy(s)";

and to my significant other, who’s made me happy…

Thanks a million gazillion bunch.
