A few days earlier, I was swinging by my own (as always), drifting through the sea of people inside Glorietta. I've just satisfied my craving for writing and posted on my blog, thanks to the wonders of wifi technology. It really comes in handy especially when you've got plenty lots of time to burn and think away.
I was about to go to Greenbelt to drift around some more, when an unlikely familiar face got my attention-- The Sunrise Shotgun, Rene Cruz jr. tapping it away with his laptop inside Burger King. Don't get me wrong... I bump into someone I'm formally (or informally) acquainted with on several instances, it's just that his kind is something you don't normally get to see and meet on any given monday. In an instant, it felt like college again (DLSU-D college. Will tell you more about it on my future posts).
Rene, in my perspective is a celebrant. The very person who keeps us sane when all of us are engulfed in newspaper layouts, videos and photography portfolios, and nasty time-killers aka "Thesis". His witty antics and his drive for savoring every moment of it never failed to make us smile amidst the overwhelming stress
Hanging out with him and the other people at the "office" (he named a hut inside the University grounds, facing our college building as our dedicated hang-out spot) everytime can be compared to the clouds in a summer sky-- each moment is a unique as it passes, but if's fun nonetheless. His otherwordly viewpoint to reality taught me to take it easy, amidst the pressure (I have to admit I was very much a drama king back then). And he always has a reason for alcohol. Come to think of it, there's always a reason why one should drink... ^^,
Aside from his celebrator of life that he is, he is a talented writer and a film critique to the core. I'm serious on this! He'll definitely see something that's wrong on a given flick. If he doesn't like what sees, he'll probably sleep it off. Yes, he's mean, but if you're see things in a different perspective, you'll might even agree with him (he had me with this several times, which never fails to impress me). He'll give you one beating of an opinion to straighten you up and get one's act together (I've had a couple of his sermons in that past haha ^_^')
That's the Sunrise Shotgun for you. He's one of my closest friends, otherworldly in my perspective but definitely someone you can depend on. View his posts at http://sunriseshotgun.wordpress.com/. You might even see this as an interesting find ^_^'
