| soak up the sun. |
Recently i've been surrounding myself with happy and uplifting songs...like Sheryl Crow's. I especially like listening to this song while driving down the wide streets of the Fort, either to meet up with some friends at Jill's or Market Market.
Yesterday evening i got to have an enjoyable drink with some friends, exchanging stories and encounters of the hilarious kind. But since they are married and/or have work the next day, it ended early - say 10pm at about the same time the caboodle started sending me messages to get my ass to capones already. So it's the regular tuesday night - give or take about 30 more people because of some party that wasn't so private since everyone wanted to enjoy the live music of overtone downstairs.
Had two highlights of the evening...one was bumping and spending quality time with Karl. See, he is the only guy who never fails to call me on my birthday at 12 midnight to greet me - since college days. imagine that. and we hardly see each other anymore so it was so wonderful to have the chance to catch up. Second highlight - after the gig, we all got our Burger Machine! woop woop! isn't amazing how you don't need some fancy shmancy dinner or breakfast with wine or basically something that costs a lot of money to be satisfied. So we welcomed the sunrise while sitting on a corner of Pasong Tamo just savoring it all up.
And we knew it would be so difficult to wake up for what we had planned this afternoon - and yet we did. I'm surprised the boys all got up earlier than me and to think I was supposed to be the one to trek to the "southside". So we spent the afternoon shopping like madmen in the aisles of Festival and Ruins Night Market with the pause for batchoy and then suman at Frank's for a makeshift dessert. And i got to meet his sweetie mom and sister! it's amazing when you meet someone for the first time and yet feel utterly comfortable as if you've known each other for years. No conscious effort to be anyone but yourself.
Detoxing as i was this day, it reminds me that i actually have the most fun with my friends when we spend it lolling around the mall, pigging out or just watching Jack TV together. haha. And all with the ever-embracing sun looking out at us.
