polyhedral

On Saturday, Jaykie and I went to My Girlfriend is a DM‘s first-ever gaming event, Polyhedral!

Ahoy, d20 stamps!

The event was held at Ludos Bar and Restaurant in Quezon City. An entrance fee of P250 gives you two consumable drinks, a chance to play, a chance to win in the raffles (given away were dice sets, minis, and a Player’s Handbook) and free dice!

I GOT A D20 OMG. I played the boardgames so I didn’t really roll, but that made me feel lucky, hee. :)

More d20’s! Care of Jme:

Metal diiiice:

Jaykie’s loot:

I took Jaykie’s dice, traded with Phil and Juabe, and now I have a complete set!

Featured at the event are pen and paper role-playing games, and boardgames! I love boardgames!

We played Shadow Hunters while waiting for the organizers to arrive and for the registration to start:

Then registration started and the tables were set up for the games:

Beej ran a D&D Buan campaign. Here players dealt with tikbalang, manananggal, and tiyanak. A fantastic concept.

Shadowrun.

Star Wars

Downstairs, I played Shadows over Camelot:

The beauty of boardgames: you can learn the game, no matter how complicated, as you play. I love et! :D

After the RPG’s and the games folded up, the tables were set for a gladiator-style combat. Players fight to the death!

Jaykie played in the first round:

And won! With Patrick (also from HGC).

Photo-op!

Loving the shirts:

The faces behind My Girlfriend is a DM – Jammi and Matthew:

Can’t wait for the next event. ;)

Then I (fell asleep, woke up, washed my hair, dried it using the electric fan) was like

The details: I’ve had my hair straightened thrice before (2007, 2008 and 2009), which left my hair really really dry, and now I want to try something new. I’ve always longed for them big, sexy curls (not the teeny-tiny curls, which tend to be frizzy), since my hair’s naturally wavy and some days it’s just impossible to tame the waves.

Last week, after months of putting it off, I finally set an appointment with Tony and Jackey (SM North Edsa Annex branch, 441-1374), and sat down for a digital perm on Thursday. I think (LOL I wasn’t even sure, I just paid) I was given the L’Oreal treatment at a discounted price (they still have a promo), inclusive of haircut, hair treatment, and hair manicure. The entire process took three hours. My stylist’s name is Jackey (not the Jackey in Tony and Jackey, though, heh), and he cuts hair really well. No shampoo for two days, though he said I could wash my hair the next day (Friday), but only with conditioner. (I have an office mate who was told not to wash her hair for three days! I don’t know, maybe the rules depend on the stylist or something.)

He gave tips on the proper way to dry curls, but me? I just sit down in front of a fan and read a book. Haha! (I do apply hair polish though – I’m not that barbaric.)

Happy perming! :)
