peeling paints and feeling faint

Yay for meeting up again with some of the Mafiagang! We met up at Time Zone Glorietta, had a little misadventure looking for Chester's car in 6750 and then piled up in said car (we were 7 people at that time) to have dinner and interesting conversation at Sango. We left Sango at around 10 PM then traipsed to the Fort to meet up with Titam for more conversation, alcohol and live Mafia :D Titam and I were the only girls, surrounded by nine Mafiagang boys (Ruben, Chester, Po, Edge, Jem, Juju, Nikki, Celsus, then later Arnold showed up with his friend Louie), but it was pretty cool. We stayed at Trio until they closed at 2 AM, then headed to the 24-hour Starbucks store in Valero St., Makati (which was really, really near my old office).

We played more Mafia there, after being revived a little by the coffee. The Mafiagang boys described the game mechanics to Arnold (who hasn't played even the online version even if he's on the mailing list) and Louie. I sat out of the last couple of games, since I was really tired from having practically no sleep the other day. When we finally decided to leave, it was 5 in the morning and it took almost 30 minutes for everyone to sort out who's riding with whom, who needs to get dropped off where and for everyone to say goodbye.

Anyway, Ruben didn't have a car so I had to bum a ride with Chester along with Po and Edge. I was kinda worried that my mom (who hasn't realized I'm an adult and can take care of myself) will get all pissy at her errant daughter for coming home very late. But thankfully she's not yet awake to yell at me. I'm expecting a full-out sermon later though so I better get some rest while I can.

PS: About Princess Globehead and the Mangaholix convention. One of the Mafiagang actually knows her and the inside scoop about the bodyguards thing during the recent con. He said it was the convention management who hired the guards, not her mom, as rumors went. So there.
