Baguio, Again

* Reyna ng sablay strikes again. Long story, but the gist is 1) I was almost late, and 2) I forgot my jacket at home.

* Slept all the way until we got to Sison, Pangasinan. Only went down for a hotdog, then back up the bus to sleep.

* Woke up to find that we were already at Tuba, Benguet. Arrived in Baguio at around 10:30 a.m.

* Checked into BBCCC, lounged for a bit before going to Cathy’s for Lechon Rice! Yummy! Then cream puffs at Dane’s! Takaw! haha

* Walked back to BBCCC for siesta, then went to Minesview Park for inihaw na pusit, banana cue and corn. Got myself a poncho in lieu of a jacket, got mama her pasalubong and Ching, her magnet. My favorite find is this really cool concealed weapon though haha I’ve always wanted to buy a kamagong but I keep forgetting. But this time, I got myself one. Also, Jette got me something really nice :)

* Back to the hotel so I can pretend I’m working but all I did was answer emails, and check Twitter and Facebook.

Plans tonight: McDonald’s, a walk around and back to the hotel, then work (either on oDesk or Gage). Then tomorrow, we’re meeting Mari Calingayan, Saturday is PMA Day, and on Sunday, Jessica Sison :)

Kat and I talked about Baguio being like an ex-boyfriend with whom you’re still on friendly terms, and Bohol is a new guy Kat would like to know, and me being drawn to Dumaguete. But the moment I stepped off the bus, my soul sighed. I think, no matter the place that I fall in love with, Baguio will always be my soulmate.

I love you, Baguio!

New Release for My Special Valentine: September 27, 2010

Woohoo! New release for MSV for this month. Kinda disappointed that my boys aren’t here yet, but I also feel relieved, which is weird. I can’t wait to see them, but I’m scared as all heck of seeing them on print haha

Anyhow, congratulations to the writers with new books out!

Word Count Tracker

I work better with a list of goals and a tracker.

My WIPs

At least, this shows me that I’m still ahead. If I strictly follow this sched, I’d be able to finish my 6 manuscripts before December 1st, my self-imposed deadline.

Looking good!

Starstruck Moment

Bihira ako ma-starstruck. ‘Yong unang beses ako natulala ay nang makita ko si Carla Giopaolo/Angel Bautista. I swear parang nalunok ko ang dila ko nung lumapit siya sa ‘kin at nagpakilala.

Then, kanina, nag-text si Maan Beltran about something sa Twitter. Alam na ni H ‘yon. Siya na ang mag-kuwento. Late ko natanggap text niya kasi walang batt ang phone ko. Nag-online ako ulit kasi kailangan kong mag-research kung may wolves sa Denali. Tapos nag-check ako ng Echofon, saw that Carla has a Tweet, tapos nag-reply ako.

Then I saw sa email na finofollow na pala ako ni Lola Camilla as in Lola Camilla ng PHR sa Twitter. Nakatulala lang ako… sandali lang naman, pero gusto ko maglulundag. OMG! Finofollow ako ng isa sa mga idol ko!

Nakuwento ko na na after ko matapos bunuin si Mac Herrera, nangailangan ako ng matinding military romance fix. At ang nababalitaan ko lang no’n na magaling sa mga gusto kong kuwento ay si Lola Camilla. So nagpunta ako sa Precious Store sa SM Taytay. Nagtanong ako sa mabait na saleslady doon at itinuro niya ang estante na naglalaman sa mga nobela ni Lola. Ang una kong nakita ay si Macario Dalupang.

Una, kapangalan ng hero ko. Pangalawa, part siya ng TFK series. Nagulat ako na medyo may hawig pala ang over-all idea ng TFK sa Sentinels ko kaya binili ko na siya kaagad. Sabi ko saka ko na kukumpletuhin. Binasa ko siya sa Food Court ng SM habang hinihintay ang nanay at tatay ko. Binasa ko siya sa van habang pauwi kami. Itinuloy ko siya sa kama at doon tinapos. After ko ibaba ang libro, sabi ko na lang, ayan… fan na ako ni Camilla.

Wala pa akong Facebook noon kaya sinabi ko kay H na sabihin sa kanya na fan niya ako. Ngayon, may Facebook na ako kaya nasabi ko na sa kanya na fan niya ako. At alam niyo kung ano ang masaya sa pagiging fan niya? Hindi lang siya talented at hindi lang entertaining ang mga kuwento niya, mabait pa siya. Hindi mayabang, walang ere.

So yes, proud fan ako ni Lola Camilla… :)

First Tweet Sa'Kin ni Lola Camilla

P.S. May sinabi pa sa DM si H na ikinatulala ko rin. Hindi ko alam kung totoo or nasabi lang niya pero kahit joke lang ‘yon, H, natuwa ang heart ko hahaha kaya ‘wag mo na uliting sabihin kasi baka maniwala ako sa ‘yo.
