Sino si Ricky Lee?
According to my research, he's the multi awarded film scriptwriter whose scripts were used in classic Filipino films. This includes Dyesebel (1990), Bawal na Gamot (1994), Madrasta (co-writer, 1996), Curacha, ang babaeng walang pahinga (1998), Rizal (co-writer, 1998), Muro-Ami (co-writer, 1999), Deathrow (2000), Anak (2000), Aishite Imasu 1941 (2004) and Dubai (2005), among many other titles. These are just some of the movies I recognized from his long list of works, but saying I'm amazed is an understatement.
To be honest, I didn't know Ricky Lee before today.
Embarrassing truth, I know, but one has to be honest when it comes to things like this. I guess it was fate's doing that I met him today :p
So Jay and I went to SM North Edsa to meet with his seller from eBay, that's where they agreed to meet up so he can pay for his item. It's a small figurine of Konata Izumi from Lucky Star, his late Christmas gift to me. (it's this little baby!) While we were there, he decided to take me on a tour around "the mall he grew up in". Weh.

We passed by National Bookstore and found a stack of Millionaires game boxes. I had him check on the price, then I decided to go in to check if they had Monopoly. God knows I've been looking for a cheap version everywhere @_@ it's hard. I'm set on settling for the localized game.. =/ Anyway while we were there, an announcement caught my attention. Actually, I just remembered the new book I read about on the internet. Ricky Lee was having a book signing session in about 1 1/2 hour. (insert gasp of awe here) We decided to eat and walk around a bit before going back...
When we finally returned to the bookstore, the entrance was packed. I swore some teens
were actually swooning and squealing. Like, ugh..? Sabay tingin ako sa loob, may kasama palang artista. Later I learned those two used to be PDA scholars. I don't really feel too sorry to have a weak celebrity radar~ ^^;; Back to topic, I did what I came to do. I bought my copy of Para kay B for P225, had Jay pick up a raffle stub for us (we got Trip to Quiapo for free!!), lined up for book signing and got a picture taken with Ricky Lee.I walked away feeling beyond amazed. Dude, I was starstruck; not by the ex-PDA scholars, but by Ricky's presence. It doesn't matter to me that I spent 20+ years of my life going about watching movies and TV series which he had some kind of contribution in. Simply put, natuwa ako sa ginawa ko. I'm running on a low budget and am depending on Jay to provide for us for the rest of the week (XD), but I couldn't care less. It was at that time that I finally felt the weight of stardom around him. Wtf!
Actually part of the reason I was feeling giddy after all that was the fact that I though Ricky Lee and Ricky Lo were the same person. Yes, I LOL. XDDD And he wrote sweet notes on our dedications; maybe (partly?) because we were among the first five to ask for his autograph. Nyehehehe. I asked Jay to take pictures of the whle thing. Di ko dala yung Para kay B copy ko, Jay took it with him.

Kina Kristina at Jay,
Sana'y magustuhan ninyo ang trip na ito sa mundo ng pagsusulat!
- Ricky Lee
Jay said, "malalaman natin kung maganda to, tapos to sa loob ng isang araw". I have a feeling it's gonna be just like that. I can't wait to start reading. :3 For now, I guess I'll grab a few ZZZ's. 36 hours of sleep-deprived activity can affect your thinking capacity. Miao~
P.S.
I look ghastly in these pics because I haven't slept well yet. lol
P.S. #2

Playing golf with the big, badass politician boys with murderous intent?
It's incredible, really. Hard to believe such an inhumane act. Even if one guy got poked with an effin umbrella, it does not change the fact that THEY started the fight and they had stupid guns.
People nowadays are such pushovers to politicians. (I'm referring to the staff of the golf club)
PATHETIC!
I hope justice is served. GRRRR!!

Twilight Tagalog Version.
TAGALOG BERSYON.
Got it from Meggy. I say ROFL. :))
Curiousity does NOT kill kitteh. *smug*
Got this message from a Friendster friend about adding me on Multiply, but the link looked to suspicious so I Googled it first. Turns out my gut feeling was correct and the link had a bad (understatement) effect on your Multiply account.
Quoting the guy who owns solerasturias.multiply.com:

So there. If you got fooled by the link before, there's your solution. :p
KITTEH HATES BARKING! *cough cough cough COUGH*

Have you had your Miao Miao today?
*SPOILER: This song played during the Prom scene.
Saturday
We watched Twilight's last full show @ MoA which started at 10:15 PM. Loved the movie. I mean for someone who hasn't read the book, I appreciated the movie. Simple as that. There's apparently no need for me to dress up the words.
When we got in the theater, I thought we were pretty early because we're probably among the first 20 people in De Luxe. In 20 minutes, I realized the theater was freakin full. We were just on time. lol. Since he got enough sleep, I knew Jay wasn't gonna fall asleep on this one. Meh, he didn't sleep on me when we watched Madagascar 2 so I guess that's enough assurance to hold on to. XD
The beginning was, in my opinion, dark enough. o.O I heard a girl (who I thought was prolly the lead lady) say "I'd never given much thought to how I would die...", I later learned this was the book preface. Bella, the lead who tells the story, had dry humor. I mean, what's up with the line on her being pale despite living in sunny Arizona? She answered 'maybe that's why they kicked me out'? =_=" On a lighter note, Edward Cullen's role was played beautifully by everyone's beloved Diggory, Rob Pattinson. *swoons*
Oh, and there was this one scene they had in the café where Edward told Bella that he can read people's minds. He went "Money, sex, money. Sex.... Cat". The audience laughed. Then I looked at Jay and saw him smiling, he did that for about a full minute. Then I asked him, "So what are you thinking about right now?" He answered "lolcat". ROFL.
I thought the movie's really good for an adaptation, I'll find out soon enough if it lived up to the bestseller book. I just have one evident complaint with the movie, and that's with Kristen Stewart who played Bella. She sort of acted too flatly, rather emotionless if you ask me. If you watch(ed) the trailer you'd know what I mean. You're supposed to be really excited or awed and scared at the same time if you find yourself standing on top of a tree, looking at the vast forest, with or without a vampire. Argh.
When the movie ended, we got up along with the rest of the audience; I was personally feeling rather satisfied. Jay asked me something while we walked out, it went like this:
Jay: So, how would you rate the movie from a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest?
Me: *thinks* ... I'd say about 8.
Jay: *smiles* Ako rin. I'd give it a 7.5.
Me: (thinking I wanna read the books soon, crap~ now I need to save moolah for that)
Jay: I liked how the story revolved on forbidden love.
Me: *stares at Jay* Haha.. I like how you said 'forbidden love'.
Jay: *gives a 'huh' look* What?
Me: I said, I like how you said 'forbidden love'. Doesn't it kinda remind you of something?
Jay: *grins smugly* Did you mean something or someone? (he was referring to a past)
Me: I meant something, not someone.
Jay: Hmm, di e, baka someone. *laughs*
Me: Definitely something. An emotion is a thing, right?
By the time we got out of the cinema, it was dark and the hallways were packed with none other than the movie watchers. Bah. Way past curfew... How the hell am I supposed to go back to the boarding house?! ;__;

Dad's birthday. A few hours into our shift and I felt sick; symptoms of my hyperacidity started to really bother me while I was on bio break so I decided to look for my teammates, who consequently went out several minutes before me. Turns out it was worse than the usual and I ended up being rushed to the hospital. Arrr. So much for teh pirate kitteh not getting seasick, no?
Oh yeah, I was diagnosed with gastritis. w00t.

Jay and I went to Maxicare -> Makati Medical Center for my follow-up check up at the gastroenterologist. Here's the scene that welcomed us at Maxicare-Filomena:
Btw, their clerks were all dressed in black, there was a coffin with some weird baby's name on it in the reception area (left), and there also was a skeleton in a wheelchair (right). Did I mention their guard was dressed as Dracula? D:
