It’s been a while since I talked about myself. Sure, I’ve talked about my wrath against Fucker’s stalkers, my fear of becoming Lord Vader, and my views on the tragedy of Cris Mendez, but I haven’t talked about the minute details of my currently monotonous life. Outside Twitter, that is. So what I’m going to do now is to bore you talk about what’s really going on with Baddie. But let me ask you first: Do you want it?!

Last week, I went on a vacation in Ilocos with my brothers and sisters in UPLB MASS. We like to call ourselves The MASStig Ilocos Adventure Team, but I also like to call us Ilocos Locos. *teehee* It was the best out-of-town trip I’ve had with MASS since our Laiya Trip. Four days of merriment and mayhem. I can bore you with all the details, but I’m just too nice to do that. So what I’m going to do, since I took a whole bunch of pictures, is I’m going to let the photos do most of the storytelling. So ladies and gentlefreaks, this is Baddie & UPLB MASS’ Invasion of The North - Day 1:

This is me pretending that I own that sweet piece of land in the background.

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.

Before I explain that X-Week isn’t what you think it is (you perv), let me just bore you with the recent developments within the confines of this blog (you know Baddie doesn’t have a life when all developments he can report are about his blog).

While I was starting development on the new UPLB MASS Online this past week, I discovered a few new cool stuff in K2 (my WordPress theme, not the company I work for) in its latest release, version 0.9.5. I decided to upgrade my K2 0.9.1 installation with this mother. I won’t go into details, but I fucked up my blog big time. Good thing I managed to backup my database and my files right before I did the upgrade. Nevertheless, things are back to normal. Well, actually I’d like to think things are better now with my new links page, which I dubbed “Black Holes“, and my new and really neat archives page, which I dubbed… umm… “Archives“. Yeah, I ran out of clever space-related words.

Originally, my 25th birthday bash was set on the night of my birthday, September 29th. But Milenyo (that stupid typhoon) got in the way. After two weeks of waiting for Miramonte to be cleaned up and to have power again, I finally got to celebrate my birthday last night. And thanks to Jelai (a.k.a. Nacky/Mamshie), my official party coordinator, and her assistants (hehe.), it was the best bash I’ve had so far. It was, as the kids these days like to call it, rawkin’. It was worth the wait. It actually washed away the terrible memory of Milenyo. Stupid typhoon.

I just started in my new job last Wednesday, so I had to come from Ortigas and be late for my own party. And I’m thankful again for Jelai and my other brothers and sisters in UPLB MASS for holding the fort while I was still on the road. I met up with Van, Madz, and Jeno (MASS brods and sisses) in Ortigas so we can go to the party together. I made a stop in Alabang to make an ATM withdrawal. It was stupid of me not to do it before yesterday because I totally forgot that it was payday and all ATM machines were like big summer blockbuster movies. Long lines are so totally uncool. We also made a stop at our house in Sta. Rosa because I had to get my stuff and Fucker (my Rav 4). I can’t go to my party without bringing Fucker. It’s like going to your own birthday party without inviting your bestfriend.

The party was the biggest one I’ve thrown so far. And it’s very gratifying that I financed it all by myself. Thank God for jobs. Billiards, videoke, swimming, alcoholic beverages, food, and friends. It can’t get any better than that. But of course, it wasn’t perfect. I wasn’t feeling very well, but I managed. And also, not all of the people I invited were able to come. But I can’t stress how perfect it felt for me. Good times, good times.

I’d like to extend my sincere gratitude to the following:

• Jelai - I can’t thank you enough, dude. Thank you for being my daughter (”nacky”), my younger/older sister, my mother (”mamshie”), my moni buddy, and sometimes even my jealous pseudo girlfriend. Hindi ako makapangchicks ng maayos pag kasama kita. Badtrip. Haha! Alabshu!
• Sui Generis - Van, Jelai, Madz, Mau, Bryan, and the now “lost” Jean. Dudes, thank you for making me happy especially when you’re all drunk. Hehe. It’s no secret that you’re my favorite batch in UPLB MASS. And it will always stay that way. Mehel ko keyong lehet! Hehe.
• E1 Dudes - Marcel, Oboy, and Dom. You guys rule! Thank you for all the moni sessions and all the serious, enlightening, hardcore, bastusan, kulitan, alaskahan, and weird conversations. Drinking buddies for life, yo! Dahan-dahan lang sa pangchichicks. Hehe. Rakenrol!
• Rosch - Dude, thank you for helping out with the party coordination. And also for taking care of Sui Generis in their whimsical drunk mode. Hirap mag-alaga ng mga lasing noh? Hehe.
• Jeno - Pardz (haha!), thank you for assisting me in keeping the party in order. We were comfortable because we knew that there was an adult around. Haha! Thanks also for introducing me and the E1 Dudes to the wonderful world of Tres Cepas and that delicious “wood”. Kitakits na lang sa Ortigas. Hehe.
• MASStig Brods & Sisses - Although I’m not really close to most of you resident members, I always enjoy the little moments that I get the chance to talk to you. Corny, but true. Good luck with all the upcoming activities! If you need help (preferably not financial. hehe. joke lang.), I’m just a text/call away.
• The eLBizen Core - Dina, Van, Mike, April, and Basil. Thanks for coming! I know you felt a little bit OP (except for Van. hehe.) because most of the people at the party were MASStigs, but I know you also had a good time. Well, I hope so. Hehe. For those Core members who weren’t able to make it, wish you were there. Hehe. Thank you all for the greetings and for helping me maintain yUPieLBi.com.
• Team Deck - Chel, James, Roselle, and those who weren’t able to come to the party, thank you for keeping me sane during the times when I was ready to pull out my hair (well, hindi na ngayon kase kalbo na ‘ko ulet. hehe.) because of our job. I’ll miss you guys and I hope to keep in touch with you.
• Those who were too busy to join the party - Losers. Haha! Joke lang. Thanks for the greetings. I understand why most of your were not there. But it would have been better if you were. Oh well, there’s always a next year. Hehe.

I’ve always wanted my 25th birthday to be more special than my other birthdays. And thanks to the people I mentioned above, it was. You all made me happy. So happy, in fact, that I almost forgot that I’m single. Haha! Alabshududes!
