Dinner, Drinks, Blogs and Bob
The J Boys got together again last Friday to celebrate the return of Bob. Talk about short-lived celebrations. We're celebrating his despedida again on Wednesday.
We all met up initially at R-Jay's shop in Market! Market! After a few free eye exams and purchases we were ready to go for dinner. It was almost 9:30 so we were really raring to go for dinner.
Side note: One of R-Jay's salesladies said I looked like an "artista" but she couldn't place who. I didn't give it much thought but apparently she did and 30 minutes later, happily announced to the world that I looked like John Regala.
We went to Seafood Island where Mia and Joey had already started eating. At that point, it was Bob and Sara, TC and Elena, R-Jay and Ching and myself (Budoy) who joined the lovebirds. Rhochie and Micki arrived soon after.
The hot topic during dinner? Why, it was this blog! And how long its entries were getting!
(Jim, we love ya, but your entries are often too long (epic in nature) and the topics aren't really too well received by our audience (comics, movies, politics). We took a consensus and respectfully request that you could limit your entries to things that have to do with 4J history and folklore. The keyword here is limit. We appreciate the effort but it really is too much effort to read. We'll drop by your blog though. Promise.)
After sumptuous servings of seafood and verbal sparring (Sara to R-Jay: "Bakla! Bakla!"), we went for drinks at Belissima (despite TC's protestations). It was a feast for the senses as the drinks flowed freely and the eye candy was SWEET!.
Jigs, Miko, Dino and Conci (sans Tini) joined us there. Hopefully, Sara will have the picture up ASAP so you can check out the girl who jumped in and joined us for a group pic. Somehow, she was drawn to Miko Sales.
All, in all, a warm welcome for Bob. It's just too bad that John V. couldn't join us so we could do the same. Ah well, here's to Wednesday as we bid bon voyage to Bob!

I do hope RJay won't get to read this blog... or else I won't get eyeglasses discount anymore with the painful reminder of how I tease him.
"...check out the girl who jumped in and joined us for a group pic. Somehow, she was drawn to Miko Sales."
Jay, women are not "somehow" drawn to Miguel Angel Villacorta Sales. They just are. It is one of the big mysteries of life, just like the Egyptian pyramids, the existence of Atlantis or why women ever need more than 2 pairs of shoes. At one point, Joey thought she tried to cop a feel of Miko's butt. How DO you do it, Miko??
With regard to Jim's posts, I propose a new rule: can we keep the posts to the 4J blog limited to narrations and discussions about events, gimmicks, parties, outings and other get-togethers of 4J while any personal issues and narrations to your respective blog sites? Any surveys, questions (philosophical or otherwise), jokes, for-sale ads and other what-have-yous should be maintained in the 4J mailing list. Pictures, calendar of activities and other information will be maintained in the up-and-coming 4J web site (it WILL be resurrected, promise!) :D
ouch. in jim's defense i'll say that at least there's something to read after days on end with nothing new. creating a new blog would add to my already long favorites list of joey/bob/kong-chu (what does it mean?) /micki/rhochie/ and jay t's blog.
BTW, this might be my last post till march 3
There must have been something in the water in China. This is the very same Ryan who complained about Joey's and my entries being too long when this blog first started.
Besides, Jim has acquised to our request. His expositions on comic book artists and movies will now be found on his blog which you can conveniently access from the links on the side of the main blog page.
