Carlo’s 28th Birthday @ Warehouse 135

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

July 26.  Right after the Lifehouse concert, we headed straight to Warehouse 135 for Carlo’s birthday bash.  Carlo made my Sabiclub stint so much brighter and memorable.  What started as a simple relationship went from a working relationship to great friendship.  We used to have a lot of breakfasts together at work because we’re usually the first ones in the office.  Either that or he lets me have all of his breakfast.  Long has it’s been since the first time I met him and he turned me off with his smoking.  He was turned off with the weird blush application on my face.  Haha.  Long were the days I’d get caught in the middle of crossfire between him and his ex, who’s also a good friend of mine.  I love them both though.

Carlo’s girlfriend has pretty much won my heart too.  Shiela is really a sweet girl.  Don’t be fooled with her small frame because she is one tough cookie, having to travel all the time for her previous work.

The last time Chris and I bonded with Carlo and Shiela as a couple was during our trip almost a year ago to Subic.  We stayed there for one night and went on a Zoobic Safari adventure the next day.  I had so much fun bonding with another couple, which we can very much relate with.  The next trip boiling with this couple might be an out-of-the-country thing, which will be very exciting!

When we arrived at Yakal Street by 1130pm, I was surprised to see the extra long line reminiscent of Embassy lines, or maybe longer, and apparently, there was only ONE line.  No separate line for VIP/Guest as how Embassy does it.  While Bubba parked the car, I sent an SMS to Carlo to check if we have to fall in line even if we’re on the guest list.  To my relief, he said we didn’t have to any more.  He met us at the door and the rain just poured.

The downpour and the busy Warehouse135 almost rained on Carlo’s parade, but it didn’t stop his friends from making it all better.  By past midnight, the guests on the list are complete and the party heated up.  Martin did his signature lights dance to everybody’s entertainment.

Gosh, how I miss the Sabiclub peeps!!!  Camille is right.  It is not friendship that we have created.  We are already in fact, a family.

URCC Bar Tour @ Warehouse 135

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

At the advent of the 12th installment of URCC, Supremacy, a pre-event was held at Warehouse 135 June 28, 2008.  What a long day it has been starting at 7am with a Sky Cable event at Mall of Asia.  11pm, I was right in front of a very intense fight at Warehouse, which CW was refereeing.

Standing there watching the match up close is really something else.  You can feel the intensity from the barely clad bodies on the mats.  I cannot wait to watch the upcoming URCC event.

After collecting a win over Frank The Crank Camacho, Caloy Baduria will be back in the ring waging his middleweight belt against Lakay Wushu’s Edward Folayang.  It’s going to be an exciting match this coming Saturday since these two fighters’ previous matches are correlated to each other.  Caloy has defeated all his opponents by technical knockouts but former URCC champion Allan Co handed his solitary loss.  On the other corner, Edward wreaked Allan’s clean record and gave him his first ever defeat.
