Happy Surprises
Last Thursday, December 3, was my birthday. Heartfelt thanks to Jie and Tin who remembered and reminded Joey to greet me. I did notice the lack of Joey’s traditional birthday tributes where she reminisces how she fell in love with Volks SD13 Shiro Tachibana – but got me instead, as if I forced myself into her life. Thank you, Joey. Know that if not for me, you won’t have as many friends, you ingrate.
She did take me to Italianni’s to chaperone Lobo who’s meeting Ichigo after her fabulous makeover in Singapore. The only thing I had to look forward to was Lobo turning werewolf and devouring more than pasta. People from the next table did come over to gape at us, but that’s normal; it always happens whenever we’re in a public place. It was just another ordinary Thursday.
Or so I thought.
Hats off to the Winner!

Braving the Storm
Something tells me this isn’t going to be a restful weekend.
Last Saturday, Joey and Rey woke up to muddy water rushing into the Shelf. Powered by panic, they were able to lift and save most of the furniture from being soaked with newly discovered super-strength. Outside, streets became rivers and cars floated past. The neighbors shoveled water from second-floor balconies. Phones rang incessantly with worried messages from families and warnings from friends. All of this happened as we sat warm and cozy at the Mistula Complex, unmindful that the Philippines has been declared under a state of calamity.
Fragile Life
Last Saturday, a crestfallen Gabie called to tell us that Slash has passed away.
He was Manx’s pet and much-loved snake. When we moved to the Shelf, Slash moved in with Gabie’s boyfriend, Leo, who is also a musician (he plays the keyboard for the band Corporate Lo-Fi). Leo cared for the little green snake well; he bred fish so he will not run out of food, and even caught tiny frogs for Slash after Joey told him that an all-fish diet will cause thiamine deficiency. Slash lived with him for two years until he decided it was time to go to Paradise City, where the grass is green and the girls are pretty.
