FridayMorningI took the day off to accomplish my NBI clearance. Very useful tip: Go to the Manila NBI office at around 7:30-8:00 am. You will get your copy of your NBI clearance after 50 minutes tops. The most interesting part of that morning was that I ran into "Bogart" again.
"Bogart" was me and my friend's favorite barista at Starbucks PSE. When we would buy coffee, he'd always be ready with a, "Hi Pao! Hi Tina!" Sadly, we didn't know his name, so we christened him with names such as "Roger" and "Robert" whenever we talked about him. Again, sadly, "Bogart" stuck. Anyway, he's not a barista anymore. I didn't expect to see him again, but I ran into him at Greenbelt 3, and for the second time, last Friday. Funny how I keep running into the guy.
My mother then took me to Quiapo Church. It was my first time to go there. Now, I'm not a prayerful person, and I'm not all too enthusiastic to go to Church at times, but it was a very nice experience.
NoonWe then went to SM Manila to pass time while waiting for my sister. We didn't know that it was the start of a 3-day sale, so our credit cards got into some action. I bought two ridiculously inexpensive shirts -- with an "S" afer "SIZE:" on the tag, by the way. Heh. Also, I bought a pair of ridiculously expensive
Oakley glasses -- Cobalt blue
Wiretap frame with multi-coated transition lenses. Actually, my parents bought them. They'll pay for it until I get the money from reimbursing the receipts from my Dad's maintenance drugs. [Insert
"Palamunin pa rin si Pao," comment here.] Hee.
NightVolleyball! We won! Yay! Afterwards, I met up with some friends from the office for some beers. Yay!
SaturdayVery Early in the MorningStill drinking! Waiting for a cab was a real pain in the ass, after.
NoonVolleyball, again. We won! Yay! Bittersweet victory, though. We went up against our Team B.
AfternoonAte lunch at Fazoli's in Eastwood. God, last time I ate there, I was back in college in one of those spur of the moment lunch outs.
NightVolleyball! Again! But we lost. Boo. It was a valiant fight, though. I'm proud of my team.
SundaySlept. Ate. Watched TV. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.
