I thought I was gonna die Saturday night. I was sent home for nausea and vomiting. That's what happens to you when you push your body too much with little or no sleep. I felt like my head was about to explode. The new nurse at the clinic knew I was in no condition to work so she sent me home. Driving home took forever even though it was only a 1.5 mile trip. I crashed as soon as I got home and woke up 10 hours later feeling better but not 100%.

It was weird being up at 6am on a Sunday morning. Weird to me at least. I had nothing planned for the day so I sent a spam text to my Globe contacts (Smart FTL) to see who wanted to hang out. I wasn't expecting people to reply since it was a family day but I knew I could count on one person to do so.

My homey PCRIZZZY.

I drove south to Makati after lunch. Paolo wanted wine. I wanted beer. The meeting place? Grappa's!

Now excuse me while I blog like HERE'S A TOWEL WIPE YOUR FACE

The Pen


Makati Shangri-la


Heyyy...


Mr. Suave di ba? Paolo's select bottle of wine


Me looking outside


To watch this bird murder a moth


Wowowowow. 2 liters of good beer. I didn't even know they had a 2 liter pitcher. I was surprised coz last time they only had a 2.5 pint pitcher.


Paolo wanted some fries


I wanted calamari


Paolo's bottle


LV Evidence


Paolo and I chatted for a few hours about the most random shit out there from RJ's (Diether's brother) blog and CJ's lack of updates to relationships and him getting a job which can never afford to pay him. Uknown to most, Paolo has a serious side. He's not all about spending $ and working out.

Lasheng


Bye Grappa's!


Posing di ba?




He wanted some yogurt so we stopped by Hobbes and Landes




Melamine FTL


Stopped by this store


Shoe Salon's other store





Aga Mulach lang, di ba? We were faded at this point.



Valet parking FTW/L


Matching shorts. Word to PCRIZZY and waLTer PeeZY. Bakling lang, di ba? Don't even ask why I'm rocking my phat lows again. I love them. Nike can send me 10 pairs of the same shoe and I wouldn't mind. Di ba Miss Mae? Ha ha. I'm down to my last dozen of fresh AAA Ts. CJ, you thurrr?


Bye homo!


After Paolo went home, I realized I was in no condition to drive so I went around the mall to kill some time. My next appointment wasn't until after dinner and I had around 3 hours to burn. I did something which I haven't done in 17 years. I watched a movie by myself. Certified loser status I tell you. Ha ha. I didn't care though. I just wanted to nap. Bought two tickets (to avoid SBS) to Fast and the Furious 4 and got some good rest.

After the movie, I walked some more...

Look at how big this Adidas store is in Greenbelt next to Nike Park






Salumpuwet




Then I bought something from this store.






Got hungry so I went to Cafe Bola for a quick meal








I always order chicken bola on parmesan cream and ham pasta. It's a simple meal but I get full whenever I order it. Not this time though. It was so salty it felt like drinking beach water. I didn't even finish half.


I was so upset I left them a shiny one peso coin (I'm usually a big tipper)


My last stop was Bugsy's for a very important meeting. All I can say is WE have finally reached a deal.

WOO HOO!!!

Things are looking good. VERY GOOD.


Want to know what I bought? Here's a teaser.

Word to DJ AM. Yes, DJ AM.

I was looking at another busy night after getting a last minute approval on my leave application.

First on my plate was the Air Yeezy Launch at Embassy Cuisine.

I was expecting to see a huge crowd because of the hype surrounding the shoe but to my surprise, only around 50 heads showed up. I guess people conserved their energy for today's camp out. If you missed my last update, scroll down for details on the Air Yeezy release.

I overslept and woke up 2 hours before the event. It usually takes me 2-3 hours to get ready and there was no way that I would arrive in time if I did my usual routine (meal, read and reply to emails, surf, bath). I got up, had my clothes ironed, drank a glass of water and took a quick shower. I was out of the house with the quickness. On my way to The Fort, I drove thru Mickey D's for another unhealthy meal of burger, fries and soda.

As always, photos for your enjoyment.

Hellapads (if you don't get it then shut up)




No more "Where are you Yeezy?"


And it's official


Yesss!



With the help of a light on my cellphone, I shot this vid in the dark. Click to play







Bay Area-bred DJ SKRATCHMARK. I always enjoy the dude's set. I saw him at Poleng Lounge SF (for Marky Massive) and at a Nike event in 2007 at The Fort. He knows good music, unlike most of the DJs out there.


Looking like a manequin FTL


Rockin' a pair of Wovens FTW


OMG! OMG! OMG!


There you are Yeezy!










Gotta get the glow for the phot-oh


I love Nike peeps



Hopped to a long-time acquaintance's party at Circa, Eastwood. I promised I would check out one of her events soon to see how really fab her events are. After only 31 seconds of witnessing her work, I can say that FabTrix is one of my favorite local promoters. It's ridiculous how this girl works 24/7. Click on her site HERE for more details on how to get fab! Hindi FOB. lol. Good job tonight girl. Thanks for the warm treatment even though this was the first time I saw you in over 10 years.

kingcrux31 x FabTrix


DJ's booth


Dancefloor






I specifically told FabTrix that I am allergic to VIP areas (something I got from Sneaker Pimps' Peter Fahey) but she still insisted that I chill with her friends. I didn't want to be rude so I obliged. Good thing they weren't snotty because most of the VIPS I meet are. Learn from DJ AM. Fuckers.


FrabTrix x Jacq Yu


The crew






Jacq Yu: "You know JP?"
Me: "lol"


I don't care who you fine ladies are. I'm still kingcrux31. Ha ha. I kid times 31.


You already know, I love laser lights


Pew pew pew


Pew pew pew


Pew!



Drove to Bugsy's after to meet up with Mong and the rest of Chicosci. Got to chill a bit and chat with some good peeps. Click on their myspace page HERE to get a sample of their music. Mong emailed me some of their soon to be released tracks and all I can tell you is they are off the heezy.


No Vanessa Hudgens


"It was this long!" I kid I kid :)


Miggy is a rockstar


I am not


Sippin' on Mojito


Niche's hardware




Straight reppin' LA. Watch for this girl to blow up soon. I already see a Raver Cruz and Justine love team. EL OH FUCKING EL.


I had to make a final stop before heading home. I was staaarving. Mister Kabab, yeah?


Shikko the Sheep and Jacket Girl


I know it looks nasty but if you haven't tried one yet, you are missing out. Falafel sammich FTMFW!!! Thanks to my favorite cousin, JR for the tip. See you on August homey!



Shout out to Raoul, Miss Mae (I missed you!), Ryan and Airstab (Ms. Clavel), Bunker Fam, Miko, Toots, Arvin, Tony (good to see you again man) and the rest of the NT'ers who showed their support (good luck in getting your pairs!), FabTrix, Jacq, Krista and her friends (thanks for the company!), Chicosci (Mong, keep your cool mayn), Justine and Niche (nice cam!). My bad if I missed anyone.

The next person who asks "What's with the hair, dude?" will get a serious beating. Ha.

I leave you with this quote before the start of Holy Week.

"Forget a groupie, you'll never get past blowing a roadie."

Reporting from The Fort

I swear Globe and Smart needs to develop and release Twitter apps

The updates:

Bunker 04.04.09
YEAH BOY!!!

7pm
Booo.

First-come, first-served
Too easy. If I was still in my heyday, I'd end up with every pair that they'll release tomorrow.

Retail is 9,500 pesos
Not bad.

One per pair person
Good job.

Must purchase your size
I can go minus .5 to up to plus 1!

Remaining pairs will be raffled off
I highly doubt it if there'll be leftovers.

Less than 31 pairs will be released
Or am I just saying that because it's my favorite number?

CAMP OUT NOW!!!
Before it's too late.


Scroll up and read again.

Nothing different?
