Zephyr, Oceanid, Ember, Gaea

We’ve talked and we’ve come to a compromise. This is going to happen regardless of all the obstacles blocking our way. By hook or by crook, it will.

We started out with sheer bliss and excitement expressed by the way our eyes shone as we entered the building’s huge lobby. We did not approach anybody in fear of them knowing this is our first time. We walked on straight oblivious to the people around us. “This is it.” we told ourselves. We were finally doing it. We finally came to the section where we need to check in…and we did..

We checked in our bags. For the first time in our lives, we were able to travel outside Cebu, together. We had small talks on the plane with irrelevant and unnecessary topics yet still memorable. Mona had a little problem on the plane (yan kasi, first time eh. hehe).

We got to Manila past 12 midnight, went straight to videoke (with Lippie taking the spotlight with her turn around..evry now and then lyrics and vocal foreplay as she likes to call it..hehehe) and played billiard. We finally went home around 5:30am, unpacked, went to bed around 6-6:30am, got up 7:00 am. Whoa! For real?! For real. The agenda for the 1st day was to go to divisoria for the ultimate shopping and in order for us to get a free ride we had to be ready that early. We slept on the way there, hard as it may be.

Ultimate is an understatement. Stalls after stalls after neverending stalls of shirts, jeans, bags, shoes and acccessories. Its amazing how you can still figure your way out. It’s even more amazing how we managed to buy the things we want and found our way out. We got back to Makati around 5pm but wasn’t contented yet. We went to my sister’s fave store. Mind you, we walked,our hands very very full with all the plastic shopping bags! She said it was just a block away. What block!? It seemed as though we walked the entire city!

By the time we got home, we were so tired our knees were shaking. We got home, changed and went to Tiananmen for a sumptuous dinner. This marks our 48-hour state of being awake.

My sister had to go somewhere which left us to ourselves, naive and lost in the big city. We were only able to say a few words from then on. “Manong, JP Rizal po sa may munisipyo” (lippie’s fave line) as we told the cab driver. And then there was silence. We got home and we slept. oh glorious sleep!

Did i mention one little thing? Whoever said you needed to take a bath every single day? We weren’t able to for that particular day but it worked just the same for us. Ha! Who are u kidding? hehehe The feeling was indeed weird and uncomfy but choice, that we did not have.
