Like I really need this to top my ridiculously hellish week.

I've known this for the past few weeks but my mind and my body has not quite digested this piece of information. I have not had any panic attacks or bouts of hysteria yet. Somehow, I feel that it's just here somewhere in my room even if I've turned everything upside down looking for it. Rann has conducted multiple searches in his apartment, where I last saw the damn thing. I brought it over his place last July 4th. I got home that night realizing I didn't have it on me but I relaxed and figured I must have left it at his place along with a few other items I left on my drunken way out.

I feel I have to give up and succumb to the reality that all my files, more importantly, all the photos I took since July 2008, are gone. Irreplaceable, irrevocably, irretrievably GONE. Sure, I have low-resolution copies up on multiply but they will only serve as a reminder that I can never reproduce them, print or showcase them, EVER.

I felt like I had to post this announcement so that I can let it go and start the mourning process.

Let the bouts of hysteria begin.

Any minute now...you will hear screaming all the way from the east coast.

Tagged along as Jose and Kate brought Chasi home to her mom's at Carson today. Had dinner at (see video below) then went to Best Buy. Kate and Jose checked out ginormous plasma TVs and I bought a 250gb WD Passport portable HD. Whoo!

I guess I underestimated how much pinoy stuff I can get here. Enjoying a mug of taho as I type this. Mmmmm....

Off topic...

*sigh*

Last photos of me and my sisters taken during our last family dinner. Tin treated us to dinner at Kanin Club in Westgate (amazing food, btw) since I was leaving Manila in a few days.

*sigh*sigh*

Collective video of my last visit to Paul's house in Pilar and my last night in Manila. It features a short food show hosted by Alain (Sleyli Myerni) and Dex (Singh Pangh) called The Fooooood! I can never watch this video in one go. I keep taking breaks every few seconds since it makes me cry and laugh hysterically. I'm going to miss these boys so much. Both videos are by Poorfish.

Video of my departure. I had my entourage take me to the airport that day. If I had known what would greet me upon my arrival, I would have stayed in the car. Oh well...simply saying I miss these guys will not suffice.
