When your birthday happens to be on the 13th of any month, I believe it'll always be a lucky day for you.
Case in point, today is the birthday of Jonbel, head of the O Boys and one of O Bar's in-house choreographers. In 2024, I wrote a full history of the O Boys to mark his birthday, and this year we did something more practical beyond just me writing a blog post.
Since his birthday aligned with an O Bar Thursday night (which technically mostly takes place on Friday), we figured it would be nice to do a bit of a birthday salubong activity. He always makes sure to work with the O Boys to arrange something for our birthdays, so it's only fair for us to try to return the favor. So, apart from preparing gifts, we also made the effort to secure a small cake and bring it to the bar. The trickier bit was figuring out how to bring the cake out, but thankfully a window opened up after the show and Tobie managed to get a candle lit before he realized what was going on. It was a nice little celebration for a really good friend. He works so hard and does so much, and he deserves way more than a cake, but it's still something.
Apart from that, we have a busy weekend ahead. There's Komiket tomorrow, although we may not spend the full day, as we still have an O Bar event later that night. Then we have The Play That Goes Wrong on Sunday. The main complication for the weekend is a higher likelihood of traffic because of all the special arrangements made for the ASEAN summit next week. This has us needing to prepare to book a budget hotel between Komiket and O Bar if things get too crazy and we need to leave extra early on Sunday so we don't miss our play.
I hope none of you run into ASEAN-related traffic nonsense this weekend.
