It wasn't like any other Fridays I've spent.
A typical Friday for me was spending the morning at home, checking my email, watching television and eating lunch. The afternoon was usually spent in Starbucks, studying a chapter or two of Bernas' Public International Law for Saturday's class with Sir Bugaoan. I would be there until 6:00 in the evening, sometimes with my friends, Marvi and Tracy, but usually I'd be alone. By 6:00PM, I would immediately go home, cook dinner, set the table, eat with my parents.
That's my typical Friday.
However, today was a peculiar day. More than peculiar, I should say.
I haven't had class since Wednesday due to the storm. I've been bored at home, doing nothing, so I thought I'd go to school and study up for next week's classes. I got to school around 11:30 in the morning and I immediately proceeded to The Scholastican Office. Fortunately, Peachy was there so we got to talking about the design for the jacket and the graphics for the first issue. A few minutes after 12:00 noon, I got hungry -- again -- so I decided to eat...again. I went to the canteen and bought myself Green Mango Shake and Bacon and Egg Sandwich.
Damn! It was then that I remembered that I just went through my monthly appointment with my ortho. The second I bit on that sandwich, I instantly felt the pain I should have gotten used to, considering I've had these braces since I was in second year high school. Oh the pain!
Anyway, I went back to the office and talked to Peachy about the graphics we needed in the first issue. After 15 minutes, I had to meet my friend at the Pergola to give her something. As soon as that was done, I went back to the office. On my way there, I met up with...who else, but Sir Bugaoan. We had a little chitchat about...my blog, as usual. My gosh, this was the time that I realized he just wouldn't let it go. Hahaha! He's very curious about what I write in my blog...which is fine with me. I can't say that it's invasion of privacy. It's on the internet. I'm practically putting myself out there. Fortunately for me, a certain someone is still oblivious to the existence of this blog.
After having the conversation with my professor (quotable quote: "OK ka pala magblush, no? Pati arms mo namumula.), I again went back to the office and waited for my classmate, Easter. We had to talk about some things...academics, extra-curricular. Those kinds of stuff.
Around 1:30, I decided to go to Starbucks. I was meeting my best friend, Chi. I had to go there as soon as possible. It was hard to get a decent seat in the afternoon.
Chi and I met up around 2:40. We hung out, talked about what's happening with our lives, all that Best Friends stuff we usually do when we meet up. She was actually keeping me company. I was studying while she was being her usual happy twenty-year-old. Yes, Chi...you're 20! Hahaha!
Chi had to leave me alone for a while. So once again, I was on my own in Starbucks. Oh my! Once again, someone went up to me and introduced himself. What was it? First, Gab...now, this guy?!? What the hell was up? The first thing he said was, "Hi! May kasama ka ba?" I looked at him with "the look" I usually give to total strangers, especially to guy strangers. "Pwedeng makiupo?" He said next. Immediately, I looked down and told him I wasn't interested. He stood there a while. I looked at him yet again and said, "Not interested." The guy wouldn't give up. I had to go to the next level. I said, "Taken." The moment he realized he had no chance, he walked away with that somewhat defeated posture.
Luckily, my best friend was back. No one dared to come near our table again. Yahoo! We were once again back in our own little world. A couple of minutes later, Chi's sister, Claudia came and joined us. So there we were...Tres Mujeres. Hahaha!
Around 6:30 in the evening, I was joined by my two professors, Sir Bugaoan and Sir Peter. Hehehe...this was the first time my friends saw my professors. Introductions were simply necessary. After introductions, Chi and Claudia were off to eat dinner and I was left with my two professors.
So there I was with Sir Bugaoan and Sir Peter. Hmmm...you'd think that it was a very dull moment. Not at all! No way! Not even close. Quite frankly, every minute was a blast. The presence of my two professors there was simply a funny thought. I never thought I'd spend time with them. Again, they were asking me about my blog. Tsk tsk tsk.
Time passed by and Sir Peter said that he had to go home. I was itching to go home, myself. Sir Bugaoan still had other plans. So, I went home by jeep as my two professors walked back to school.
That was my peculiar Friday.
Hmmm...this is quite an entry. I just realized. Haha!
Oh well...at least I could say that I've recorded it in my history before I forgot about this day. Although...what was to forget?
Bottom line...I had fun today.
*Yawn* I'm getting sleepy. My bed is already "screaming" for me to go to sleep.
Good night, dear readers!
Until my next entry...
