Met up with E2 for drinks (translation: to fill up my planner card with stickers). He brought me Chinese tea, a pop-up card featuring Japanese underworld creatures (I should have this framed), and a portable ashtray.

While at the coffee shop I suddenly realized that I'd subconsciously used E2 to pattern my character Paolo after, in my two novels _Cubao Ilalim_ (first and second books).

E2 accompanied me to buy stuff at Gateway, then we took a taxi to my house to hang out for two hours.
