I never thought that a gloomy, actually a ‘typhoon’ infused Saturday would bring about meeting a lot of old friends and familiar faces. I woke up to a gloomy Saturday morning, my room still lingers of cold airconditioning even though I turned it off at about 5am.
I had a late lunch with my classmate in ICA – Karol. We met at Conti’s, I was an hour late because the driver brought me to Tita Conching’s – in Manila. Anyhoo, when I got inside Conti’s I searched for Karol – then I saw her unbelievably glowing face – I walked fast towards her and gave her a hug. This is the first time I saw Karol since High School! Yes – it was that long – I couldn’t beleive it! I knew that she was taking up medicine – but it was just recently (actually just last year) that she messaged me through friendster – I thought, wow! Considering the fact that is studying to become a neurologist – she still had time for friendster! Well, that’s Karol – she’s one of those people who’re determined as ever. If they set their mind on something – there’s no stopping them.
We were exchanging stories – stories that go far back as 7 years ago! Time does fly fast huh?! Who would have thought that 7 years after HS – we’d be having lunch. Oh well, but it was a blast meeting up with her. I swear, it brings back a lot of memories!! 🙂 My panget was with us to witness our stories.
After meeting up with Karol – my Panget and I went about walking in Greenhills – only to find out that the whole place had no electricity since 11am! Imagine walking inside the new V-Mall and seeing the stores – CLOSED! I guess the owners were thinking – since there’s no electricity – and no one coming and going to V-Mall – might as well, close shop right? Right – Greenhills was a ghost town – an eerie phase (I swear?! Imagine Greenhills with a few people – isn’t that scary??)
I wasn’t expecting to bump into old friends – but somehow – since I’ve already met up with Karol – I was on a roll!! I saw a DLSU buddy, my former DLSU blockmate – and I think 2 more friends – friends who I’ve last seen at least 3 years ago. I was in a jolly mood!
Anyhoo – it was a great Saturday – I was all smiley and stuff!! Hehe… 🙂 Sigh…
