My Day at the Greenbelt

Rachelle dropped by the office to make a demo CD to present to her client Wella. After getting all 2 minutes worth of voice icons (waste of good CD space) we had lunch at Jollibee. After that we headed for Greenbelt 3 to meet up with Wella. After going back and forth Music One and Tower Records/Powerbooks (where I browsed through the Batgirl and American Century tpbs) we finally met up at the former. Wella dresses like Rache has slightly wavy hair. When I said it had a Sarah Jessica Parker she shreiked (with joy) and said that's exactly what she was going for. See? You can be a straight man and notice these things. While (and after) using the restroom we spotted Miriam Quimbao and a GMA 7 camera crew, then headed down to Starbucks, where we spent a long time chatting away--when I was supposed to be back at the office an hour and a half ago. When we finally parted ways I ended walking Wella back to Tower Records/Powerbooks, and spent more time chatting about the tpbs and fantasy novels. It was hard to leave, since I liked this ongoing lively conversation and finding a girl who was into comics like she was was a rarity in itself. But leave I did, since I thought I had to explain my absence. Ironically, I was coming back to Greenbelt in an hour and a half for Lynette's birthday dinner.

When I got to the office (alibi set) everyone was gone. Ah, well. No internet connection. Nuts. Uh, oh, Mona was calling my cellphone (left it at the office). We chatted until her husband Melvin came home for dinner. Okay, back to Greenbelt, specifically Big Buddha. Before I found Lynette & Co. I ran into Rocelyn (arrived from the US last month), Cheryl Uy and Girlie, and Elaine Jane Chua. When I found Lynette the only other recognizable faces were Thelma and that other couple I met at Onstage for the True Faith concert. Anne and Claudette couldn't make it, it seemed. Thelms was snapping away with the camera, though I took a couple of pix, as well. After dinner at BB we had a nightcap at Chilis. Okay, they had a nightcap 'coz my ride was well on its way, leaving me with no time to order anything (I was full, anyway) but enough time to snap a few more pix.
