August 16: Lem's pre-birthday - Cupcakes and geekery.
Yep! More delayed photo posts, coming right up! Hehe.
Anyway, I've mentioned in a previous post that the day before Lem's birthday, we met up with magiqa since I wanted to borrow a DVD rom her. In the end, and pretty much at the spur of the moment, we found ourselves at Bonifacio High Street and Serendra, in a sugar high, and giggling over toys. It being a snap decision and all... I didn't have my camera with me, so I had to work with just my phone cam. Erk. T_T
The main reason why we headed to that area in the first place, was because Lem decided that he wanted to treat us to some cupcakes at Sonja's. Apparently, after we tried it for the first time during James' birthday dinner last July, Lem has taken quite a liking to the pricey, pastel-colored desserts (though we still wouldn't dare go beyond the one-cupcake-a-month limit for fear of diabetic shock). It turned out to be a good thing, too, since it was Elea's first time to go to that area as well. ^_^
Being still full from the hefty lunches that we ate at Market! Market!, though, we decided to NOT head straight for Sonja's immediately aftewards. Instead, we headed for the local Hobbes & Landes branch to try to help Elea look for a mood ring, and there, we just simply went crazy. It's really a sight to behold when you place geeks inside a specialty store like H&L...
This photo was taken before she was carted away...
and maybe a swift bop to the head with a harisen.
The item of contention. Yes. I meant it, when I said, "a 2-foot-long model of a Star Destroyer made entirely of Lego blocks".
The Star Destroyer, though cool, still couldn't compare to the Lego Millennium Falcon, though.

Oh, and I was also serious about the Domo-kun AND Master Chief USB flash drives, by the way.

Another item of desire was the Steve Jackson game of Munchkin. Lem and I figured that it would have been the perfect break from our D&D selves. After all, behind every dice-chucking, number-crunching geek is a munchkin.

Oddly enough, when we went there last August 16, Elea ended up buying the Super Munchkin game. In hindsight, this seemed rather apt, since back then, our GM friend Luis often referred to her as "the munchkin". ^_^;;
Besides the games that we all wanted to buy, Lem also had to pry us girls away from such things like mechanical baby kitties and pandas which adorably mewled and wiggled in your arms...
By the time we left the shop, nobody's wallet was safe. I ended up taking home this thing called Kiwido (which is a lot of fun, by the way)...
... while Lem ended up taking home a new pouch for his MTG cards.
After H&L, we dropped by another hobby store in the vicinity where we got to hang out with one of our interstellar homies.
And finally, after all that running around the H&L store, the food we had for lunch was finally burned away, and we trooped to Sonja's for a bite to eat.
We ended up having the Very Berry, the PB&J, and the Choco Mousse cupcakes. We tried to convince Lem to get the staff to stick a birthday candle into one of the cupcakes so that we could celebrate properly, but he would have none of it. ^_^;;
After all that, we headed back to Makati where Elea boarded a jeep bound for her mom's place, and we went back home to enjoy and admire our purchases. Hehe.
And thus ended Lem's pre-birthday celebration for 2008. With cupcakes and geekery. XD
