"Tomorrow"
Early this morning, I got a text message from Arcina asking me if I could meet her tomorrow. Of course at around 5 pm, while watching Crush Gear, I suddenly get a message from her asking me if I'm in Megamall already.
Apparently, Arcina sent me the message before she slept, hence the "tomorrow" instead of later.
Virra Mall
It's been so long since I've been to the place. Fad of the tiangges as of late is not Crush Gears, not Zoids, but Meteor Garden. And the occassional pirated version of Animatrix DVD. Aside from that, it's more of the same.
Virra Mall is still one of the most annoying place to hang around, mainly because if you stayed in one place, men would swarm over you asking if you want to buy porn.
On a side note, while browsing through a shop, a guy passed me by carrying an X-Box, which he suddenly dropped and the contents crashed on the floor.
Boo!
In keeping up with my stalker reputation, I did creep up on Arcina and friend when she finally arrived there. Ended up carrying her jacket, her purse, her CDs, her CD cases, her friend's Devil May Cry toys, the books I loaned her...
Did meet Kim from JAE's Toys, which will also be participating in the upcoming toy convention. The three of them were smoking (*cough* *cough*) in Starbucks and I just had my handkerchief to cover my nose.
The Famous People of the Anime Community
Well, Kim did mention Arcina's name is known in universities like UP, UST, and Holy Spirit. They haven't met her, but they know of her. Which isn't surprising really.
I mean the only other person who probably has better name recognition in the Philippine anime community is probably Tin Mandigma. I mean these two girls are known for their Internet presence, whether it's establishing anime groups/mailing lists, their fics, or their propensity to show up in events (this was before anime conventions).
Fed and Richie would follow suit, and then there's the cosplayers who are people known more for their appearance rather than just Internet aliases or web handles.
As for me, I'm not famous enough. Heck, people don't even ask me to write articles about anime or manga. They ask people like Elbert, who is knowledgeable when it comes to comics but dislikes anime/manga, especially since lately it's been overrated.
Dissolved Class
Well, it seems that one of my classes will get dissolved unless seven people tomorrow start enrolling. Writing for Children, under Ms. Bellen, has 35 slots free out of a possible 40. Well, I could always pray for a miracle.
Mom
*mom enters room*
Mom: Do you know how to connect the VCR to the *points to TV*?
Me: No.
Mom: You really don't know?
Me: No.
Mom: Then you're totally worthless! You don't know how to do stuff around here.
Me: Look who's talking. It's not me who's asking if I know how to connect the VCR to the TV.
On a side note, yes, I do have an inkling how to connect the VCR to the TV. But mom was blocking my TV set when she was asking the question, and I knew she'd blame me for one reason or another.
