The Cogitation Egress: A NEVER-ALONE WEEKEND

March 25, 26, and 27, 2011

Friday

My friends from my work place, which also happened to be my students, set a sort of a closing party in Pau’s place. Kat and the rest of the gang went first in the location to set-up the place, while I and Ma’am Chris followed. On our way, we taught of playing a prank on Kat and company.

We told them that Ma’am Chris had an accident in Balibago. They believe us in an instant and got worried for us. Hahaha

When we arrived at Pau’s place, we immediately dealt the cards and start playing Russian Poker. Damn, how I missed playing this game with these guys. We took a break for a while to take a sumptuous dinner prepared by Pau’s mom.

Then after, we headed back in the veranda to continue playing and drinking as well. As usual, we tripped on Choi because he wanted to go home early. We bargained with him until we reached 1:00am. Gladly, no one got really wasted.

Good thing there’s a 24-hour bakery near Pau’s home, that’s why we decided to spend our remaining budget for our drinks to buy a midnight snack. The tripping and fun continued while we’re eating our midnight snack and waiting for a jeepney to pass by.

Fortunately, all of us reached home safely.

Saturday

My cousin Mimi decided to sleepover in our house because my parents are out of town for a conference. We first met at a mall near by for her to help me shop for my personal things and eat cali maki as well.

In the supermarket, we bought our favorite childhood treats. When we’re about to go home, in the foot bridge of the mall, we decided to eat those treats that we bought. While eating the biscuits and chocolates, we randomly thought of our childhood memories together.

When we arrived home, we watch two good movies in a local cable channel. Then after, we scanned my year book and make fun of my batch mates. Mean? No, we’re just having fun.

Sunday

A week before this day, I and Sid, set up a coffee date for our group. At last, this day came to reality.

We were supposed to meet up at 2pm, but as far as I know, my good friends don’t follow the meet-up time often. That’s why I took my time bathing, and I even dropped-by a book store to buy Sarah’s birthday card.

As usual, we were late, and only less than half of our group is just present. But then again, a late start and a failed attendance are not reasons for us not to have fun.

We started updating each other in the changes that we went through in the passed months, and we also looked back our best and worst college days together. We spent almost 2 hours in the coffee shop for updates alone. It only means that I’m with the people whom I shared a lot of memories in my college days.

After the coffee date, we went to a nearby mall to maximize our time together; we even canvassed a gift for our dear God daughter Hailey.

As much as we want to spend more time together, but we still work for tomorrow and got no more money left. That’s why we decided to go home.
