japj

it's now certain that our pictorial won't happen this weekend coz jake needs to be fresh enough to be one of pops' models... you see, he'll be at chicane concert so he can't make it. this would be pushed back to end of october, i guess.

well anyway, i was really looking forward to spending some quality time with these guys... my college buddies, especially now that ate pops has turned into a photographer from being a mere "boldstar". and of course atee, jake and i just love being photographed! so this would really be a nice get-together.

we don't really see each other often nowadays, except on special days such as christmas or birthdays. the last time we were complete was in january, when we trooped to the newlyweds' (pops & cocoy) abode in valle verde to sing our hearts out! jake and pops weren't available last august, but atee and i had a hearty dinner at trinoma to celebrate my 28th birthday.

this JAPJ (jake-atee-pops-jub) pictorial just reminded me of the testimonials that i made for them back when friendster was not yet a byword (when was that?!!), or at least during the times when my nieces and nephew has yet to discover friendster. and of course, i need to paste it here!

jake

maligayang kaarawan, tito jake! masayahin, maaasahang kapatid at anak, mapagmahal kay pops, mahilig sa ispageti at kape, malakas ang boses, maabilidad, matulungin, maka-regine, mahilig kumanta, mapagkakatiwalaan, masarap magluto, maraming kaibigan (parang pulitiko), mapera, masipag mag-text, matapang sa laban ng buhay, medyo madaling mairita ngunit madali ring makapalagayan ng loob, maikli ang pasensya sa mga taong aanga-anga at pa-sweet, ma-pelikula, mabilis mag-type, magaling umingles, di mahilig manglibre, di kumakain ng pakwan, matibay sa puyatan, matalino, maalam, maputi (joke!)… mabuting kaibigan.

atee

ateeee! my ateee... jake's ateee, pops' ateee... our ateee! she's a big sister to us, why? during out first meeting (way back in june '96... spanish class) she was always telling everybody to tone down their voices! hehehe! she has tons of talent... she sang during freshmen orientation and welcome party for our block. though she was always in a hurry coz "she has to go to the market pa"... she's so enjoyable to be with. she loves wendy's... and would sing just about any song and even modeled for our music video! take care, ateee, esp. for that cutie inside you! i know that you'll be a good mom!

pops

my ate pops-y! my college life would have not been complete, if i haven't met this person. galing makisama! ganda pa... kaya naman dead na dead si jake! hehehe! only person that i knew who doesn't go to the moviehouse, except if the film stars kevin costner. 6 years ko nang friend si pops, pero once ko pa lang nakasama manood ng sine... paraiso ni efren pa ang movie, for our com res 165 quali paper! i won't forget the time when she sung "isang linggong pag-ibig" with new lyrics discussing marxism/socialism sa soc sci 2! ganun sya ka-talented! she's always ready to help, lalo na nung palpak na yung pc ko when i was doing my thesis... she was the one who outlined my framework! suwerte ko kasi friend ko si pops... pero higit na masuwerte ang lalaking makasisilo sa kanyang puso!

gulay... paso na ang karamihan sa mga punto sa taas! tanda ito na nagkakaedad na talaga kami! oh well...
