WOOH BUSY WOOH

Sorry I haven't been blogging as much as I should. I've been preparing and gone through Philippine Model United Nations Week. Basically, it's a simulation of a real United Nations: we're all divided into different committess, each of us representing a country and all we do is talk, debate, talk, debate until we come up with resolution papers to be presented at the final assembly regarding current international concerns or issues.

So this is the second time I've attended the simulation and it still confirms that I'm really not cut out to be a diplomat in the future because I REALLY hate anything that requires a lot of talking and debating and sitting around trying not to get on each other's nerves. Yes, it's romantic that we're all for international peace but reality is diplomacy is just a graceful way of protecting your country's interest while trying to appear- I dunno- unhypocritical?

Also, I did the darndest thing last week.

Wapwap texted me: So are you game for Komikon (national Comic Convention usually held somewhere in Manila) tomorrow?
Me: Dunno yet. I'm kinda broke.
....
Me: Wait, is the author of the graphic novel "Elmer" gonna be there?
Wapwap: Of course!
Me: Hold a sec.

I text Hottie: Hey, can I borrow your copy of Elmer tomorrow?
Hottie: Sure! Just tell me what time.

To make a loooong story short, Hottie suspected nothing as he lent me his copy of Elmer the next day.  I went to Pasig, met up with Wapwap there at Komikon, looked for the author (who is also recognized abroad as well), and have him autograph it.

 When I gave Hottie back his newly-autographed copy of Elmer, he didn't want to believe me at first! It was a good thing my friend Wapwap took a picture of the author signing his copy. I uploaded it on his fb wall and he was like "WOW!"

I'm totally convinced I'd make a fabulous girlfriend for anyone.
