The Many Names of Gino Carteciano

I’ve been staying away from memes since I can’t say NO to them. It’s like a sickness, really. Whenever people tag me, I’m like “GODDAMMIT!!!” and then I’m like “YAY HEEHEE!” I even dedicated a category on this blog for quizzes and memes. Don’t judge me!

Coming Home to the Grass and the Stars

Last Friday, I suffered from LBM very early in the morning. It happens to me quite a lot and I often always go to work, hoping for the day to zip by like the Flash on a caffeine high. But my gums were swollen, thanks to these stupid braces. That, the LBM, plus the idea of going through 2 hours worth of traffic forced me to call in sick for the first time during my 4-month tenure in my job. The silver lining? I got to rest all day and fantasize about going home. At around 9 pm, I was feeling OK already, so I took off and flew to UPLB for the last night of the UPLB Fair 2007. Home.

I was smiling while driving all the way from Sta. Rosa to UPLB. Yes, I’m a nutjob, but one more reason for the crazy smile en route to a mountain was the fact that I was going to see faces I haven’t seen for several years already. Once I arrived, I went straight to the booth of my infamous academic organization, UPLB MASS. Seeing new faces in that booth and greeting old friends just made the rest of the world go away. I totally forgot that there was a stage right in front of us with Datu’s Tribe and other bands performing. I also missed the yUPieLBi.com AVP that they showed on the projector.

That’s one of the two AVPs. Here’s the other one. Good thing we have them on YouTube.
