The Last Day of Bet

I actually greeted this year's last day with some friends. Except that I did not meet sunrise after the whole day's bonding. I was hoping I was awake 24 hours to greet the day with a visit at the church but I unconsciously lay asleep on the bed as soon as I got home early. I mean early in the morning.

The year has been good to me minus the recent incidents that quite affected me. Nonetheless, the year was great. After all it was the Year of the Rat, my year.

At two in the morning, I shyly smiled as I remembered I have a bet with a friend. And today's the last day that a fulfillment must be done. I thought I would be anxious but knowing that I cannot make a miracle in a day, I just smiled. My friends wondered why. I just gave no answer. I know that I must not cling on to something that I have no power of. Maybe this year was not a good bet for me, even last year, or maybe even the next year.. *sigh.. Yet I still did a bet this year. Starting tomorrow...

Same Species

We were at the coffeeshop that time waiting for an email from London which will be our soonest nest. While Thea and I were talking, a guy from the outside who belongs to the same species of the cat caught the attention of Thea. She then asked me how was the cat. I gave no reply except for 'I don't know'. Well, that was the best and the only answer I could give lol. We continued to discuss different topics when a local guy approached our table and asked for something which is mine. I was shocked receiving such an unexpected approach. I asked him why, replying that his friend was persistently asking for it. I told him to tell his friend to come over and talk to us straight. So he did.

He joined us in the table. He is of the same age as mine. Oh, and Thea identified him as the one who stood outside the shop just beside us. I was fairly impressed by his conversation skills. He was sociable and charming. The conversation was interesting, and so was he. Thea and I left the shop almost midnight.

He was different like all other his same species. That was I thought before we left. But it seems that their character stereotyped them all.

Thea and I laughed thinking how good he could have been if not for the manner he showed. Whew! Another character we must include in our list of do’s and don’t’s.

Chasing a Guy

Wooh! I never thought we will end up chasing a guy on Saturday night. Was it still night or early in the morning? Whenever that was, the feeling was very odd... but exciting too. lol. Oh well let me go into details.

The whole Saturday was an exhausting day. I did work and play. From Fagioli to Brueggers' to Promenade to the streets of Davao, we unrelentlessly toured the city.

Autoshop was not our place as we didn't fit the atmosphere of the youngs. It was just too loud for us. After my friend's meal and a burger at 11PM at Bruegger’s and Spaceburger, we went back to the car and planned for another hop. As we were planning, my friend spotted this cute guy at Shiatsu, so she parked her car infront of the parlor and waited for that guy to come out. He went out the parlor, entered his car and started the engine. Now the two cars faced each other. We moved backwards so he can go out the area. His car's front light was too glaring that we cannot have a glimpse of his face. We were all staring at his car until we finally got the position where we can see the driver's seat, and the driver of course. Yeh, he was really cute. He looked at his left side (our car parked on this side waiting for him to move out) so he can check if it's safe to turn. He sluggishly smiled. My friend was twitterpated with the responsive smile. We followed his car but he slowed down. We drove ahead and now the two cars are situated side to side, we looked at him and my friend loudly smiled. (what’s the term? Lol) Now we’re ahead. We turned left to Torres. My friend on the backseat chillingly told us that the car was following us. We were all electrified and shouted but driving ahead, a car overtook his position. The vehicle between us broke the excitement as he turned left and was misled. That excitement caused us to move around Torres Ave. and look for him but we couldn’t find him anymore. We went to Rizal Promenade to check if he would party there but found my dear friend Chet and his friends instead. We stopped awhile and had chitchats for few minutes and off we went back to the massage parlor where that guy just went. We got his name but not his number. We again went back to the Torres area hoping we could still find him but unfortunately, not. At least we got his name and the plate number before we end our day. Whew! That was something I did very odd but exciting. Lol. Well at least we took part on my friend's excitement. We did that for her. ;)

Short-term Amnesia?

Whew! Where have all those previous writings came from? I seemed to be a stranger to what I wrote in this site. lol. But really, I have difficulty remembering. Or maybe I was just too exhausted today to remember anything. hehe

The world last night put me into a stance that I woke up drained this morning. Whew! I could have slept in the office but I must not.

Memories

Memories flashing back… Well, this is what my friend texted me as soon as she woke up this morning. Memories… Hmmm.. they were flashing in me yesterday. There are those moments when I doubt its sincerity but they are more overshadowed by great happy memories (because my friends lift me up all the times). We always sit and talk over a cup of coffee. (We just had a stop last night at Tata Benito's)

My life’s getting ordinary each day but two things keep me holding each day. No, three. :D My November, December and January. *sigh! And everything will end and begin next year.

Friday Night Gaga

Oh was I able to share what happened last Friday night? Again, screwing up was screwed up! Why do I always have a planned night that screws up?

We were scheduled to watch EagleEye that night but went out frustrated as it was not showing yet. I was furious but I couldn't do anything, at all. The usual? Thea and I hibernated for a coffee at the mall until my friend and officemate came after two hours. We stood up to change place for dinner. He did not bring his car. I sighed. We took the taxi.

We chose dimsum for Thea to eat congee. No congee. Our eyes met and sighed. She ate rice instead. After dinner, we went to Blueposts for billiard and beer but the place was full so we were forced to stay outside for a bottle of beer. What could have happened that night? Everything just didn't go well with our plans. My officemate went home early as she was drowsy and tipsy after a hard day's work and the beer of course. The three of us went to my fave coffeeshop to stimulate us and stayed for an hour and a half. Then Thea and I send my friend home early as we were tired talking to him hehe. The two of us went back to the shop and met another friend of hers.

I better not plan for my nights as it always screw up. That night was not too fulfilling but at least we still beat the cinderella time. At least...

Over a cup of Coffee


One cup is what I needed. It has been a month I had not sipped coffee with some friends. Thank God I was temporarily drawn back from life’s boredom and constant grievances.
