T’was one hell of a ride.

February 10, 2008

excuse me for my lack of better words but i think the title would perfectly fit and describe my ohh so wonderful saturday.

to my disbelief, well not really, my saturday started very early. i had my mom drive me to CSA for props meeting. i was actually kinda late since we drove by mcdo for some much needed breakfast. tasting a sausage mcmuffin with egg after a day of abstinence was heaven! when i got there, Lisette, Iza, Guia were already starting with the windows. it was the same people all over again and one of them wasn’t even a part of our committee. sad ain’t it?! Lance and Kei arrived after a few minutes. we could of done a much better job with the windows if only we had properly working cutters(OC i know. hahaha), a team of old guys who coutldn’t find another place other than CSA to play some basketball, and lack of people. but i think, we did a fantastic job on the windows. accomplishment!? hahahaha.

while we were working, i noticed that there was a lack of cadets during COCC training and to add to that, Gela and Raf were heading the whole training. it was fun seeing them in charge. maybe it might be a glimpse of what could happen during 4th year or 3rd year even.

after we were done, Lisette provided a ride for us (me, Lance, Kei, Marc, Allan, including Lisette) to go to High Street. the ride there was kind hilarious. i couldn’t stop laughing with Marc’s and Kei’s usual comments. even Lisette’s mom and sister found us amusing. hahahaha. we decided to eat at Conti’s for lunch. one word..

funds! hahahahaha.

it was obvious that we had to wait for our tables with Contis’ being always jammed packed and all. we had fun while waiting for our tables outside. we had the usual discussions about everything under the sun. all the fun was ruined because of this lady-man being rude and all. we were sitting in the two rows outside Contis’ with our usual selves, mga malalaking harang at hambalang, with our feet all laid across what she/he calls a passagway. she actually goes up to us and said..

"excuse me, isn’t this a passageway."(notice the deep trying-to-be-a-guy voice with all sense of rudeness.) 

we quickly moved but when she got inside, it’s like all hell broke loose. we had all these manical thoughts running through our heads. it’s funnier than it seems. one of our plans was when she got out and passes the same way, we wouldn’t move but being brought up the right way and all(yes! hahahaha.), we politely shoved aside the whole situation. lesson learned, being rude will get you in a whole lot of trouble. buti nalang kami yun. kung hindi baka nasapak pa yun. hahahaha. after 10,000 years of waiting, we finally got our table.

and again, funds! hahahaha. nonetheless, we still had decent meals with minor drawbacks. we had a tiny, tiny table. we couldn’t move properly and the waiter was stubborn. they wouldn’t want to give in to Romano’s simple request with his prawns. all the while, we had a great time eating. we decided to eat off each other’s meals so we wouldn’t have to spend anymore money. hahahaha.

5 stars for their Fish and Chips. hahaha.

after lunch, we walked to Krispy Kreme for some needed sugar. i was disappointed with their Cookies and Cream donut. it didn’t taste right. coming from me that’s a huge surprise since i usually loved everything with Cookies and Cream. booooo. Allan had to say goodbye. he had some other stuff to take care of. the rest of us walked to this huge complex which i thought was Lisette’s mom’s office or something. i soon found out it was Lisette’s church. it was freaky in a good way. besides the escalators and elavators, canteens and bookstores, i found the people freaky as well, and again in a good way. they were very accommodating and friendy. we were a little out of place at first but we eventually got used to whole thing. i was jealous of Lisette for having all these friends outside school. i just realized about my lack of social life outside school. hahahaha. 

we hitched a ride with Sarah to the Philippine Army Field place. we got to meet a whole lot of other people who taught us the basics of frisbee. after a few throws, we eventually got to play our first actual(sort of) frisbee game. it was me, Romano, Kei, Lance and couple against Lisette and a whole bunch of people.

it was better than i expected it to be. the game was both tiring and fun. i noticed that we got the hang of it pretty quickly. Marc was the most enthusiastic about the whole thing. he was diving all over tha place. hahahaha. out team won 3-2. beginner’s luck. hahahaha. 

i was a bit hesitant about the whole frisbee thing but once we started to have fun, we thought about inviting other 2B people to try it out. (yes! member?! hahahaha.) i would love to see them running around a humongous field. hihi.

after a while, Kei and Marc had to go and the people started packing up. we hitched a ride going back to the complex thing. we freshened up and left for High Street. Romano, Lance, and i decided to get our coffee fix at Starbucks in Fully Booked, a.k.a Heaven on Earth. i enjoyed everything about the place. having a coffee shop in a bookstore is a genius idea. hahahaha. drinking your favorite latte while browsing through a bajillion books was delectable. hahaha. we stayed in the General History and Philosophy area for the longest time. after a while, Romano had to go. me and Lance stayed behind and looked through more books. one book caught my eye. it was the Tao of Pooh. something about it was very much intriguing. i shall save up and buy.

we went down to wait for Lance’s parents but when we got there, there were police squads everywhere. i wasn’t polite as i hoped to be when i asked them..

"bakit po kayo nandito?" hahahahaha. where’s my manner? hahaha. *wink*

they kindly replied that PGMA was in Serendra. ohhhhh.

Lance’s parents arrived soon after. we went to Burger King at Glorietta when Tita found out that we haven’t had our dinner yet. it was fun hanging out with the Garcias outside the confinement of their car. hahaha. they always had the funniest stories to tell.

after a very sleepy drive. i was home.

 

this was one of the best saturdays i’ve ever had.

i consider myself blessed to have spent it with the best people.

too bad only a few people came. maybe next time?

 

but now i have Valentines to worry about.
