adventure weekend
the only plan for Saturday was supposed to be a shoot for Cha's Technika cosplay in Makati. after that, I was just supposed to go home. some time in the middle of the shoot, Bessi texted and invited us to join the Filcosplay party over at ATC. Cha couldn't go and since I didn't bring a car, it looked like I wouldn't be going, either. eventually, I decided to hell with it and asked Cha how to get to ATC via bus. after waiting around for the right bus to come along for much longer than it should have taken, I found myself on my way to Alabang.
by the time I got to Lazer Xtreme in ATC, the party was already winding down. there was still one round of laser tag left, which I was dead set on joining, and little else left. laser tag was exhausting but a hell of a lot of fun. couldn't believe a round was just for 15 minutes. closing words were said shortly after and freebies were given out to whoever was still left.
after most of the people had left, I assisted Erving in shooting Kero's Iron Man cosplay. while Don Robert's Iron Man suits look sleek and streamlined, Kero's looked tough and bulky. Erving managed to make him look like a toy.
when that was done, everyone else still there went to search for Pizza Hut. it proved futile since, apparently, there weren't any Pizza Huts in ATC. instead of sticking around, Erving and I just decided to go.
the day's final adventure took place right after getting in the car. Erving found the wheel to be oddly heavy so we got out to figure out what the problem was. the front driver's side tire was flat. we attempted to change the tire but were thwarted by the jack. it didn't seem to want to rise and, even worse, didn't fit under the car. fortunately, there was a guy that saw our predicament and offered to lend us his jack. with the wheel changed, we headed back to QC.
for Sunday, Alvin arranged a shoot for Quincel, Gwen's younger sister, at UP. the only other photog with us was fellow Power House regular Victor. it was a fun shoot, despite the crazy heat. people had been trying to talk Quincel into trying her hand at modeling since at least December, during Gwen's Christmas shoot. she's a cute girl, though I think she's a bit too skinny. given some more experience and meat on her bones, she might be able to match her big sister's appeal.
I'm still tired from these past two days.
