Alright, so. Borders is going out of business. Everyone know that by now, the stores have huge signs everywhere saying that everything is on sale. James wanted to look for D&D stuff he's missing, Bri wanted to look for random stuff ( we found lots of Inubaka volumes we're missing ;o; ), and I wanted to find that TF "Exodus" book I've been wanting to read since I saw it there a long time ago but couldn't afford it because (HURRR) I had bought too many Transformers.
So we all go down to Borders and stop at Toys R Us first, where I FINALLY found Generations Wheeljack! Every place I checked before TRU didn't have him, or many other Generations toys for that matter, so I'm really glad after all this searching that I finally have him! I probably shouldn't have spent the money on it, but I really really like him ;~;
So, afterwards we went to Borders, which was a lot less crazy than I expected. I was picturing like a line out the door and around the block, but it was pretty tame. For some reason, one of the stores had taken out all of the computers, so we couldn't really find anything and had to do it the long old fashioned way and actually look on the shelves. =~=;; But, in all, we did end up finding what we wanted. I found Exodus and James found his book, Bri bought a plush donut for reasons unknown, and we were walking around the store getting ready to leave when we ran into some people that my mom was talking about not too long ago.
Apparently, she emailed this lady Angela, on my aunt's friendlist on Facebook, asking if her kids had once going to EKA. Of course, they did, blah blah blah EKA family connection speech here. So they were talking about where we all are now and my mom mentioned something about seeing our aunt. My sister mentioned something about seeing them at Izzalette's baby shower. For a second we were all like 'wat' just standing in Borders, but it sort of dawned on us at the same time. We are totally related. My dad's sister (and my dad, obviously) is related to and close to her father. Or something like that. Bri said that that made us first cousins once removed (I think once removed, because of the generation gap). And we found out completely on a whim that we were related to these people, who had gone to our school back when I was in like 6th grade, in the middle of Borders. It was just so trippy and amazing. We constantly make jokes about how, as Filipinos, we can meet up with other Filipinos and be like "oh yeah, we're cousins!" and laugh about it. I can't believe that it actually happened though. Angela also told us that she had met our mom WAY back in the day, and that she used to do preformance dancing with my Uncle Angel! So we knew then even before EKA, and never knew that we were related until last night. It was freaking amazing. Go to buy books, end up meeting lost relatives.
That's two in the past year that I've met, with Manuel earlier in the year. Ahh relatives everywhere!! Anyway yes, that was my night of Wheeljack and books and first cousins. Now I will go back to reading and maybe I'll take pictures of Wheeljack tomorrow in the storm drain. :3
