My date didn't go well. It was actually great.o^_^o
He turned out to be one of the most interesting people I've agreed to meet up with a.k.a. Eyeball. To start off, his name is Nikolaos Dritsopolous. Or something. His dad is Greek and has never set foot on the Philippines. He moved to the Philippines in 1991 when his parents separated and he went to live with his mom who is a native of Mindoro. Anyway, that's enough for his bio.
I first saw him at the sisses' gig at Xaymaca. He's the bassist of Hemp Republic. I was chatting with Bunny and Al when Niko overheard me ask some stuff from Al. Niko handed me a folded bond paper. I didn't even get his name that time. Then, he messaged me on Friendster asking for my number and coffee. I obliged. It's always nice to be around UPLB peeps.
I did a background check with Myla who's my blocmate who's the roommate of Lia who's a member of UP Jammers which Niko is also a member of. She couldn't believe I'm meeting up with him coz he just got stabbed last Saturday in the wee hours of the morning. I had no idea `bout it so I figured he's well now.
We decided to meet at Starbucks GB3. Well, there's a reason why it's always nice to be with UPLB peeps. It's because there's that instant connection, like you've known each other for a long time. It's fun to discover common friends and wonder why you never took notice of each other on campus. There was no dull moment over our caramel frappes.
I went to the washroom and on my way back, I heard someone call out,"Floi! Floi!" WTF?! It's Joweinie! Last time I saw her was in 2000 before she graduated from SJA. I've been updated about her for the past year, though, coz I found her blog. Her blog's definitely one of my fave reads.
After our caffeine-fix, Niko and I decided to get our alcohol-fix. We ended up at Absinth coz the cowgirls appealed to him. Then, Syanta texted she and her cousin Mikee's going to CG. I told her it's about time we conquer Absinth. Niko got along well with the two, too. Ahhh... I was with an ideal crowd. Y'know, no one needed baby-sitting.
It turned out, Syanta and Brian broke up last weekend. Well, the complications of a real relationship got them. `Twas sad coz Syanta met John through Brian. We kinda became the CG couples.
When the DJ started to play old school, we transferred to Temple. WTF?! John was there! Needless to say, so was Brian. This is such a small world we're moving in. By the end of the night, Miss Match fixed Syanta and Brian. They're back together. Phew.
John, on the other hand, had some beef going. This girl, his neighbor in San Fran's cousin, tagged along that night and got drunk. The guy threatened he'd shoot John's ass if anything happened to the tag-along girl. John took it seriously and was talking about getting the guy murdered by some NPA relatives he has. That was scary. We decided it was time to call it a night.
Yeah, I know. I'm such a biatch for turning a date into a full-blown party. But, Niko and I both had fun and we're pretty certain there would be more of that in the future.
Tonight, I'm off to CG with TGIS. Niko wanted to go but, uh, I don't think he's prepared for what he might see yet.*wink*
Lovapalooza 2 will be held tonight too. I don't even want to think of it coz it reminds me of Astro. A year ago, I had the chance to watch BoyzIIMen live but I let it pass coz I was so much in love with him. I had to be with my boyfriend on Valentine's, of course.
This is the first Valentine season in four years Ima be celebrating without a Valentine... and I couldn't care less.^_^
