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!

Maven and the Owl

You really think it’s him?
Trust me, I’m an owl; I have stereoscopic vision. That’s him. Mistula’s frontman and bassist, ManikaManila’s first. I visit his blog every day, you know. It’s just hard to leave comments when you have talons.

Of course I know who he is. My eyes are as good as yours – 16mm Enchanted Doll Eyes No. 13 in High Dome, no less. It’s just weird to see him walking around the zoo without an entourage.
He’s a loner. The name says it all.
It’s a wrap!
Presenting lovely cast (or unsuspecting victims dragged into the limelight by Joey and Yapi) of the first Mistula/ManikaManila TV feature. They were all caught on film – and by surprise – by the dogged crew of GMA 7′s Lovely Day.
The Quicktime video may be viewed on the entry below, or at the Mistulavisions YouTube channel.

Joey and Yapi decided more fun will be had if more unsuspecting people were dragged into the spotlight. So they invited the GMA 7 crew to film ManikaManila‘s affair in Tagaytay, Mini Me February.
