Yesterday was a very special day for me. After cleaning up in English thesis biz with my groupmates I instantly headed off to DLSU to meet up with Bechan. I was hoping to see them all, as it was a monday, but then Pau and Bequa had gone home, and Jonreph's not answering my text, so whatever. But Bechan needed me there. And so I came.
Lunchtime at Taco Maker. Alloi was there, but she had to go later on. I was not counting on something hilarious for that visit, as Bech and I were talking about some very very serious matter.
But then I was wrong. Alloi left us with these kisses (you know, those new multicolored sugar-coated ones), which later on became the source of a new joke which we laughed on for about an hour until she had to leave me for her swimming PE at two.
For two hours she practiced and took her finals with Chammy. Chammy was even nice enough to come out and talk with me outside the gate. I had to sit there and wait for them to finish so that me and Bechan could go out. For the duration of my waiting I had to the chance to chit chat the guard, who at one point let me in because I had to go to the john. And we also ate corn at the last few minutes of our bonding time (as if...hahahaha).
Bechan came out and apologized, which I didn't need to hear anymore. I waited for her because I had wanted to. The guard said it so- that I did love my friends very very much, to wait for that long despite the fact that I am a person on the go who hates to wait for things to come.
So! We went to SM San Lazaro first. She bought me a wonderful book, which I have been wanting for the longest time. But that's only because I wasn't up to wasting my money on it (I'm very kuripot when it comes to my wants most of the time). And the funny thing is, she even borrowed my cash to pay for it for that time (later she paid for it naman- man...). I was feeling silly then, but I later on realized it was truly very very sweet of her.
After contacting my ma, we went to her place. But not before buying a bunch of pirated DVDs, and I must say I now understand why piracy has become such a booming industry in our country now, hehehe...
And because of all those kisses we ate during lunch, I had to use their CR, hahahaha...(later she followed after me, wehehehe)
We ate fried chicken for dinner and watched Just Friends. I had been wanting to watch that for a while. I really felt like that guy, the loser thang...and sometimes I want to run off somewhere where no one knows me, you know that feeling? It's mostly these people who do that to people who can't fight- or won't fight at all...condemning them because of skin-deep 'imperfections' when all they want to have is love and acceptance and true friendship all around...
OK! After the movie I had to go, but not before hanging on for a little more while to check mails, friendster accounts of other people...and borrow some of Bechan's books, which I hope might keep me busy (and sane) for a while.
And she took the liberty of taking me home. We walked all the way from escolta to quiapo, rode the taxi back to my neighborhood, Mendiola. It was funny when I realized Bern had the white SJ shirt on, and we're in front of SJ, hahaha!
As I had suspected earlier, ma wasn't home. So I went along with her, took her to Tiff's place to watch a bit of PBB and Desperate Housewives, which we all loved at once...depressing after some time of exposure, but cool comedy, too. (It's just a series with one big message to the girls: In order to be happy, make sure you're getting married to the right guy- or don't get married at all because they're all the same!)
I went off at twelve midnight, thought of what special day we had, reflected...and slept like a baby, hehehehe. I was touched with them being concerned with me walking at that time of the night- alone. Yes, I know I always maintained the deal that I am strong and I can handle myself, but it really touches me deeply whenever someone gives me the protective care instead. (But they wouldn't know of it now until they read this- right, Tiff, Bern, Therese? :) Love you, guys..)
I am very very happy and grateful for Bern giving me a share of her precious hours to help me fulfill my desire to lagalag for my last day. I felt happy that she was there for me, talked with me, sang for me...laughed out senseless things with me. As I always say, there are some things in this world more important that studying chemistry or pursuing a career...and one of them is having your friends around you to assure you you can do it!)
