Big Hamster In Manila...
September 26, 2007...
Met up with Big Hamster today. He happened to be in Manila to meet up with his C.I.C. Silver-Tongued Lady (that's acronym for Commander-In-Chief) who just finished her bar exams a couple of days back. S.I.C. Hamster (that's acronym for Second-In-Command :P) was allowed a couple of hours of R&R with the boyz. It was a race against time, so off we went. First up was a trip to Hobby Haven to play some Warmachine and some WOWCCG. Midnight was there, sadly there wasn't enough time to get another WM game in. No need to remind everyone that Big Hamster (same goes for Kyuzo and Midnight) was on Cinderella time. The ensuing game length was fair enough, considering that Big Hamster had to learn the ropes on the game rules as well as the dynamics of his army. I'm glad I was able to introduce him to his first ever Warmachine game. Some lessons learned, which was both educational and fun for the both of us. Too bad Shink1m and Salubri were indisposed to come over to hang around with us.
Next we had dinner over at Shakey's. Midnight had this observation that it's usually three of us with the third guy always changing. Basta yun. With the usual pizza/chicken/beer on the side, tried to catch up on a lot of stuff. Diverse topics from old gaming stories, the next GT, some of the finer points of Warmachine/Hordes, other miniature games we play, the LaSalle/Ateneo rivalry (though none of us studied in those colleges), to the intricacies of the bird's nest soup business (Don't ask how it got there. Basta it got there :P). Conversation sobered up a bit, ending in a toast to Mark Lim, a fellow gamer and friend who recently passed on early in life. May he rest in peace.
Time flies, and S.I.C. had to get going. Dropped them off to their respective drop-off points and headed on home. We were so in a hurry we even forgot to take picture for posterity! Doh!
Too bad I wasn't able to see Big Hamster and Silver-Tongued Lady before they left Sunday for home. Well, who knows? The next opportunity will not be that far away... ;)
