tears on my pillow - part 1 of 2

the literatis of team omerta
had a big surprise for papa rick
on his last day at infinit-o

- frozen solid -
rick: i didn't expect this...i was completely clueless...honest

- speechless -
oi oi oi save that for last

its christmas! wowoweee!

for the first time in my life,
i don't know what to say.
whew!

suddenly, i have this strange feeling stirring inside me

vigan postcard - a popular place in the philippines
that papa rick desperately wanted to visit
unfortunately, his tight schedule
prevented him from doing so

for those intimate moments in NY
filipino style

another box - another surprise

vigan it is

- a green barong tagalog -
definitely different - definitely cool

and for that very special day
(yup, the literatis always think and plan ahead)

slowly but surely

mind you, these are not pirated dvds, i swear
i'm an advocate of the "buy original dvd" movement
cough cough cough

a white pina barong tagalog
for that special client call back in NY
e.g., all of literatis visiting you there!

- a perfect fit -

- and we're not done yet -
we've saved the best for last
for
one of the coolest persons
to ever hit the streets of manila
who touched the literatis' hearts (and stomachs)
by spoiling us to the max

fighting back the tears
(it's hard isn't it)

surprise! surprise!

- this one, i'll keep forever -

and somehow, he successfully fought back the tears of joy

and everyone was touched
by what they just saw

- pati kami -
(including us)

- o -
