Ok, here’s the deal: the last pair of shoes I own are old school Adidas campus sneakers that have long since given up the ghost, their soles (get it?) rotting in shoe hell. Ever since my ingrown nails flared up some ten odd years ago, I’ve been a tsinelas-or-bust guy. And because of mom’s ingenius idea to coordinate with all of my known relatives when it comes to giving me gifts, I have become a walking, talking, true-blue Lee Pipes endorser. On the upside, every shirt they now give me for Christmas or my birthday fit perfectly, and outside of kinky underwear (oops) I’ve never had to buy a single article of clothing in three years. The downside? Well, they’re all Lee Pipes, and outside of kinky underwear (oops again) I’ve never had to buy a single article of clothing in three years.
I also don’t have a single pair of slacks to my name. That still fit, anyway.
Unfortunately, the upcoming Philippine Blog Awards ceremony has a dress code (the fascists! — kidding, get off my back :P), and rightfully so, as I hear it’s a pretty prestigious event (ooh, ooh). Whatever. Their event, their rules, right? And since there is no way in Gloria’s regime (read: hell) I’m shelling out the dough for new threads, it is with a sad heart (the pain, the pain!) that I’m taking a pass at the event This just in: a friend is offering to loan me shoes and a shirt, I just hope my black jeans pass, but then again maybe not. Well, that plus I have a gig tomorrow night with FMD at StirCrazy bar somewhere in Ortigas. But it’d be a darn shame to let these three two invites go to waste, so I’m having a mini contest to see who gets it: Best Caption wins. Or hell, just ask for them I suppose, I just wanted the chance to re-post these photos.
First up, Iggy “Pop” Bunye.
Emo Chiz Escudero
Emo GMA, Mike Defensor and Tito Soto
Raul Gonzales
Fire :D
EDIT: A friend has offered to either help me bargain-hunt for cheap clothes and shoes that I probably need anyway (or lend me some), I just might go after all. Right. There’s a 10% chance of that happening. But still, I’m keeping one extra just in case I can score a hot date. Paging Amanda Griffin?
So yeah, 2 tickets.

You already got the tickets for the event? Wow. I have yet to recieve mine. What’s up with that? Lol.
Well good luck with the band. Nice blog. Great posts. Keep it up!
hi JJ, yeah got them yesterday. kulitin mo na lang ang organizers siguro. thanks for droppin by :)
Ang kyut ni emo Chiz. I crush him haha!
Now that makes me think…I don’t have anything to wear too. I’m a tsinelas/rubber shoes person coz I always fall flat on my face whenever I wear sandals, and the most horrible kind of footwear ever made, stilettos or anything with at least half an inch of heels.
Punta ka na!
Let’s go naked lololol. :p
nyahaha, css naked day lang
I was half-surprised about the dress code thing. I mean, net geeks are supposed to be informal people, right? I’d understand the semi-formal thing pero “to formal”? As in prom and grad ball galore? Eep.
Good luck! And I wish I could think of a good set of captions for those pics but I’m pretty blank. They’re hilarious (albeit scary) though! ^_^
@ia: yun nga eh, parang andaming pomp and circumstance. which is i guess the point, pero still. good luck din!
Dude, I was thinking of asking you again if you would be able to go to the awards night. I would have willingly taken the pleasure of getting your trophy AND your printer! Hehe!
Congratulations! :D
