.:Appended To The One-Year Plan:.

Jason has a point. Sacha may get all the votes in the world to get into the 100 Sexiest Women for FHM, but if there is no mainstream coverage for her, FHM may very well just disregard these votes. With that in mind, we have a six-month plan to buffer that...

MAKE HER GIRLFRIEND OF THE MONTH.

This plan is difficult because it requires her to already have a pictorial, but we can work on it, I’m sure...

.:My Dog!:.

Our nice purebred beagle, Snoopy (So sue me.), almost got lost a while ago. Some guy was around the house, he left, and Snoopy followed, as he was untied. I promptly dashed out of the house, and luckily enough, I managed to find Snoopy just outside of the house, not so far off. That was a close call. It’s not just that I’d be in trouble, but more of the fact that this poor dog shouldn’t get lost like that... I love that dog. Extremely tame, and wouldn’t hurt a fly: just don’t let your leg get in striking range of his notorious Ocho-ocho dance steps, though...

.:Summit?:.

Competition for this job is extremely tough. There were at least twenty other resume’s in the folder when I submitted mine. Nonetheless, considering how I applied just for a simple part-time or freelance position, I think at the very least, I’d get a call of consideration from them. If not, no big deal. I can do without it. Grace was with me yesterday, mostly helping me out to get the resume where I wanted it to. I owe her big time for that...

The bus ride to Galleria was funny, though. Grace and I were talking about a lot of different topics, and we were laughing. I guess my brain is in too much of a haze right now, so I don’t really remember what we were talking about...

.:Jaws? Joss? Diyos?:.

Grace was looking at me intently during the bus ride, as I was joking that I’d bite her on her nose (Ooh. Kinky. Not really. Try “Penguin” from Batman Returns...)...

Grace: Marcelle, para kang “Jaws”.

Marcelle: Wow! So I’m godly? Para akong Diyos!

Grace: Hindi. Yung iniinom. Orange jos.

Marcelle: Yung energy drink? Extra Joss?

Ah, yes. Communication is the key...

.:Denied:.

So much for a job opportunity. I was waiting for Juss to text me all day long, but no word whatsoever, so I ended up hanging around the store instead... ah, well. That’s too bad.

The store was bustling as usual, and I wasn’t doing much there except talk to people and... err... sing. We were doing more mass songs, boy band songs with matching dance steps, Abba, Queen, and so forth. Lots of things have been happening there, as the conversation was simply fun.

I ended up playing quite a few different games during the time I was there. The most fun I had was with my first L5R game using Peppy’s Scorpion deck, against Peppy. I actually managed to Honor-Bomb him when I was about to lose since my provinces were down to two. I had two Imperial Messengers in play, I Shamed my own character after dishonoring her with Kachiko’s Promise, then used Kaukatsu to make Peppy lose the same amount of honor. He lost 23 honor, which brough him down to –19. I then used a card whose name I forgot to make me lose two honor, which I promptly used Rhetoric on to send it to Peppy’s direction instead, leading to –21 honor, which is already a loss condition for the game. Amusing.

We then had a game of “Bang”, another card game. I was facing off against one of my opponents, who happened to have a character that can discard two cards to gain one life. He simply kept himself alive every turn because during the turn, he can draw two cards, so he draws two, then gains back one life. I had to stack my hand with tons of Bangs before I managed to finish him off. It wasn’t so simple, because being the Sheriff in a four-player game meant I was the only guy helping me out... heh.

.:My Willpower Is Weak:.

We were at Starbucks again last night, except this time, Peppy joined in the fray because he didn’t feel like going home at all. With that being said, things were pretty fun. Mikko was still expressing his disdain over Jay-R (Mr. Gayface.) for the most part, and Jason was not up for any sensible conversation...

Jason: But if Peppy goes for RX, you know he’d get hired!

Marcelle: No, they’re not looking for another Kuya Cesar right now...

Touche.

Mog, Mikko, and Peppy were talking about Battletech or something like that. Jess was mostly quiet, and just reacting to all the comments (Mental note: Pronounce things well. She thought “Corn star” was “Porn star”. How could she misinterpret such a thing? ::winks::). She, however, was having what looked like a tempting drink of Iced White Chocolate...

Jess: It’s really good. Why don’t you try it?

Marcelle: I only have 1,000 for the next two weeks... and I have lots of willpower!

Around ten minutes later, I was holding my own Iced White Chocolate and a small bag of Cheetos...

Marcelle: Err... so much for willpower.

Ran into Bobby Benedicto last night there, all the same. I guess I’d really be watching his films on Saturday.
