3:30 PM: Trippy arrives home from Divisoria. He immediately unpacks his stuff, labelled them for eventual gift wrapping. After things have been arranged according to his whims, he left once again to address his next objective.
4:30 PM: Trippy was waiting for a bus bound for Ayala. Against all odds, he was hoping that he could beat the deadline before Prudential Life's head office closing time.
5:00 PM: Buendia, near PNR Station, Trippy realizes that he couldn't make it due to the horrible traffic. Instead he got off from the bus he was riding, then he crossed the street to find a bus that will bring him back home.
Trippy was hoping that he could arrive on time for Yuyu Hakusho on Animax at 1800 GMT
6:10 PM: Trippy arrives home 5 minutes after Yuyu Hakusho's opening credits.
8:45 PM: Trippy leaves home to attend Andrea's annual birthday bash at Kitten's/Bat Cave Dapitan, UST.
9:05 PM: Trippy arrives at Kittens. Three of his former classmates were already there including the celebrant.
9:50 PM: Trippy assures Roy that even though he could not make it to the Ang Pagdadalaga Ni Maximo Oliveros contingent at Megamall, he would catch up with them after the movie.
10:15 PM: Hazel, the co-celebrant of Andrea arrives at Kittens.
10:30 PM: Papu announced that he could not make it at the drinking session after the movie contingent.
10:45 PM: Trippy has consumed two bottles of San Mig Light already... for free.
11:00 PM: Trippy had a long talk with Phanks, thus eventually diffusing the potential conflict between them.
11:15 PM: While drinking his third and last bottle of San Mig Light at Andrea's birthday party, he outed himself to two of his former classmates as well.
Quotable Quote from one of his former classmates who heard his revalation: "You're too straight acting to be gay."
11:25 PM: Trippy leaves for SM Megamall.
12:10 AM: Trippy arrives at St. Francis Square. He first went to his colleague's drinking spree at San Mig Bar to pay homage to Mami, before bringing her and Choirboy to Congo Grill to be introduced to Trippy's buddies.
The Odders were having a meeting to discuss their plans for the upcoming Christmas Party. Trippy arrives, introduced Mami and Choirboy to the group. Everyone's attention suddenly shifted to Choirboy, who instantly became an eyecandy to the "gerls"
It took another 30 minutes for everyone settled down to discuss once again their plans for the Christmas Party.
1:10 AM: Trippy, together with Roy went to San Mig Bar to have a chitchat with Mami and the rest of the group. Mami easily bonded with Roy. Roy, in a rare moment of straight actingness have successfully decieved everyone in the group.
The two boys left shortly after consuming their San Mig Light. By this time, Trippy was already under the influence of alcohol after taking 5 hits.
1:50 AM: The Odders have finally reached a consensus about the party. As they were about to pay the bill. Bes Goonie, who celebrated his birthday several weeks ago treated everyone that night.
At this point, Trippy had attended two different night outs in just one night. His biggest feat so far in several years.
2:10 AM: The Odders were walking along Julia Vargas Avenue when Trippy announced that he would drop by Government. Bench and Pao decided to join him.
2:25 AM: Trippy, Bench and Pao arrives at Government. They were greeted by a lone guy playing a violin ala Maksim at the ledge.
2:40 AM: The Party gains steam at Government. It was evident that Pao wasn't enjoying the scene. He complained at first that there are very few crowds that night. He then complained at the music the DJ played.
On the other hand, Trippy realizes for the first time that the reason why he got this sort of attachment at Government is because he was being reminded of his former nook Mint: The heavy bass, the Hard House songs being played, the green light darting everyone's sweaty bodies and the crowd itself which is rather composed of more straight acting men than effeminate crowds.
However, one thing Trippy observed that somehow made him think differently of the bar was that the crowd seems to disperse very early, compared to the Malate crowds that stays on the dance floor until morning. Pao also pointed out that the DJ last night plays a rather monotonous playlist. There seems to be no progress from one track to another.
4:10 AM: The three guys decides to leave Government and call it a night. Pao was dropped off at Shaw Boulevard, while Bench decided to stay and sleep over at Trippy's house.
4:30 AM: Bench and Trippy arrives home.
7:45 AM: Bench leaves Trippy's nook in order to catch up a Masterals Class in UP at 8
10:45 AM: Trippy was rudely awakened by a househelp. His mom was about to leave the house in order to meet a friend somewhere in Makati. Unfortunately, Trippy's mom doesn't know how to get to the place so she asked him for directions instead.
Unsure of his directions, Trippy decides to accompany her mom.
10:50 AM: Trippy leaves the house.
11:30 AM: Call it a miracle but Trippy easily found the place his mom was looking for thanks to his built-in GPS.
At the grounds were the meeting between Trippy's mom and her friend was held, there was a bazaar which sells stuffs from French Crepes to Antique Trinkets from the 1970's. Trippy was planning to buy some to give as gifts but unfortunately, there's wasn't an ATM around.
Trippy also discovers the headquarters of two Call Centers he heard before: Seattle Communications and Parlance. He wasn't impressed at their location at all.
1:05 PM: The meeting was concluded between Trippy's mother and her friend. In a show of gratitude, Trippy's mom volunteered their vehicle to be used for her friend's short "rounds"
2:05 PM: Trippy heads to Prudential Life Main Office somewhere near Rada St. Finally he was able to fill up the forms he would needed to close some business his father left with that company.
2:50 PM: Trippy leaves his last objective to watch the movie Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros at Robinson's Place alone.
3:30 PM: Trippy arrives at Robinson's Place Ermita only to find out that the movie he was planning to watch is not shown in that Mall.
Instead he decides to head off to his favorite Internet Cafe somewhere in Pedro Gil to write this entry in his blog. He intends to meet Phanks to settle some business before going home...
... that is, if there is no more objectives that will come up after they have finally met.
