Last Saturday I went to Ayala Alabang to visit my best friend, Sae Rom. I was ecstatic cause we haven't seen each other for months, and also because I could finally get my hands on the final installment of Harry Potter! It was weird going back to my old village, I missed it, but it seemed so different that I didn't feel a sense of longing anymore.
When we saw each other, we just started talking and laughing nonstop. My bes and I have a weird sense of humor that only both of us can get. It's a great feeling when she cracks up at my one liners while everyone else would just roll their eyes. Haha!
Anyway, I started watching Love Story in Harvard a few months ago, and ever since, I've had a weird craving for Kimchi Stew. So I was so happy when bes told me there was Kimchi stew waiting for me at home. And it was sooooooo yummy :) After eating I settled down to read the Deathly Hallows. And oh, for those who haven't read it yet, Harry Potter didn't die (hahaha!!!)
Next day, Tristan came to visit me. I told him I wanted to show him my old house in Ayala, and my old school, my hangouts, the Alabang Country club, where I hung around with friends (and where I tried to take tennis lessons but gave up). But the sun was too hot. I told him we'd do it next time, and we just ate in Alabang Town Center, and went window shopping. Well, we practically chased each other all over the mall trying to hit each other, laughing out loud. After awhile though, things got boring and I had a brilliant idea.
"Let's go home to Calamba" I said.
"Ayoko nga ang layo. Tsaka nahihiya ako pumunta sa bahay niyo." Tristan replied.
Well, nobody says no to me! I gave him my sweetest smile and said
"Sige na, ang tagal ko nang di nakakuwi eh. Kain tayo sa house and watch movies :)"
In the end, he relented. And we set off on our way to Calamba.
When we arrived, I was true to my word and I cooked and we ate bacon and chicken, my favorite foods. Then I let him watch basketball in my room while I showered, gathered my things, and prepared to leave in about two hours. My mom cooked sukiyaki for dinner, and when Tristan sat down with the rest of my family, he was cornered by my dad.
"Do you drink beer?" My dad asked.
"Yes, sir" Tristan replied.
And so my dad got beer, and they talked for 2 hours, while I slaved over the dishes. Hmp. (maid's day off) We were only able to leave at around 9:00 pm, then Tristan and I decided to sleep at home instead, and put off going back to manila till next day. I kept him company at the spare room till about 1 am, we just kept talking and laughing at all the silly things we do with each other. and then I got too sleepy and headed back to my own room.
Next day we had Nurnberger (a German sausage) for breakfast, and left at around 11:30 am. I didn't want to go back to Manila yet cause my classes start only at 8pm! But he wanted me to come with him so I gave in.
I loved that weekend :)
