A few days ago Arne contracted Dengue fever, and was confined at Makati Medical Center. It was a good thing my mom had him checked right away when he came home from school with a high fever. Otherwise, it could have been fatal. He's safe now, and due to come back home this tuesday. I've been spending my nights at Makati Med, and during my first night there I was scared to death because it was the first time I stayed overnight at a hospital. I kept on thinking about the people who died there, and the baby screaming and crying in the pediatrics area didn't help. Visions of tiyanaks crawling on me while I slept swarmed in my mind. After tossing and turning for awhile, drowsiness finally overcame me and I dozed off at around 1 am.
On Saturday, I met up with Ate Tin and Tristan. We went to Providence and screamed our lungs out til Ate Tin's super possessive bf came and took her away. With 5 tokens left, me and Tristan sang our own horrible renditions of love song duets. Our voices didn't blend together and it was hard trying to keep a straight face while singing. After that we decided to go condo viewing. Since we were at Providence Tower already, we looked at their units first.
After signing our names, the woman in charge brought us to one of the rooms. I instantly liked it. It was far better than the one I initially wanted to rent, but 3000 pesos more expensive. I said i'd think about it, and got the owner' s business card. Next was Burgundy. I already inquired there before, but since I like condo hunting so much I decided I still wanted to go there. The office was closed though, since it was already 5pm. We postponed our condo hunting for next week.
Tristan and I decided to go to Mall of Asia next. I don't know why, since I hate that place. I swore I'd never go back there after my first horrible experience (going there during opening week was a BAD idea. Crowds, crowds and crowds. Need I say more?) But I guess I thought it would be ok, since I was with The Boy Who is Always Happy and Optimistic. And I have to admit. I actually enjoyed it. We went Window shopping, had dinner, watched the fireworks display, and had ice cream afterwards.
When we got bored, I decided to go to Makati Med and visit Arne. Tristan came with me and after irritating my brother, we went to the Mcdonald's 24 hour store nearby and had late night snacks while talking about everything under the sun. We were talking so animatedly that we lost track of time. It was past 12 when I finally went back to the hospital. He kissed me goodbye in front of Arne's door right there in the hospital corridor.
