This one goes out to metaphand. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY SWEET. ♥

S-sob, I missed out on giving so many people gifts. Hit me up if you want something and I wasn't able to deliver. ;;

My weekend was pretty wild, because I kicked it off by hanging with my ADMU family over at Ayala Techno Park (AN EXTREMELY SHINY PLACE IS EXTREMELY SHINY) and THEN it was off to meet with the girls the next day.

Started off with me swinging by Medical City to see yukitsu, khursten and kye_kestrel - we ate lunch before heading up to help Rachel's family out with her dad's hospital room. Teng Papan is perfectly fine from the looks of it! *w*

After Rachel went off with her family, we took a road trip around to pick Khursten's mom up and drop Lyn off before we hit Khursten's hood. We rolled around until late evening before zooming over to 77ws's party thing WHICH DID NOT HAVE PRITCHON, FEEL MY DISAPPOINTMENT WAVES OVER THE INTERNET--!

People spotted:
- psychoshoujo, gzep (who is srsly amazing when he is tipsy/drunk) and seraph_dreams!
- Sammi and Justin, who holds the distinction of being her boyfriend for more than a year. Good job, Justin. T^Tb
- menismastah and the Antarctics folks! Adz, your hair! o_o

Night passed into morning in a haze of way too much laughing and a whole lot of booze. Khursten and I went home by 2, but we didn't sleep all that much due to Srs Talk, which I'll likely poke the other girls about at the soonest opportunity.

Running on minimal sleep at the moment and back at home, but I'm still hoping that the family will decide to eat out. It's been a while since we've done that~

EDIT, A FEW HOURS LATER: Yeah, we went out. It was amazing. |D

As some of you already know, I went out with my folks to the Canadian Embassy. Passport renewal is death serious business, so serious, in fact, that it entailed being stuck on the road for nearly two hours (CURSE YOU, WEATHER!) and another hour-long wait because the dudes ahead took forever and a day.

Was supposed to go and see khursten (and later meet up with the Koushien for dinner along Tomas Morato), but we had to take a rain check because lol, well. Rain. Anyway, ended up tagging along with my folks the whole day - first to Glorietta (mom wanted to get her watches fixed at the service center), then to Megamall (dad wanted to canvas the prices of shotguns at the gun convention).

In spite of the fact that I've only pretty much just gotten home, it was rather nice, spending time with the folks. One funny thing that happened today was my dad attempting to read what I was working on over my shoulder. I... sort of panicked because I was doing gay porn. Um. Yeah. /)_(\

Oh, I also saw yukitsu for a bit! We finally got our gelato! ♥

Because of all the waiting time I had today, I got to finish Misha McGlenny's McMafia, after nearly a year of picking it up and putting it down. It's a fascinating read exploring the relationship between organized crime and globalization, and I strongly recommend it to whoever's into those topics.

With that done, I can go on to crawling through the other selections on my book shelf, and the book that lonelybusiness lent me a long, long, LONG time ago. *sob* RL keeps me pretty much too busy to really go through books unless I'm in transition or transport, since I'm usually occupied with so many other things when I'm actually free.

This has to change, though. Gotta make reading for leisure a much more regular habit, the way it used to be.

Funky animu again this season. Bakemonogatari and Tokyo Magnitude 8 look exceptionally well-done, for one.
