birthdays, bloopers & unplanned spendings

heidi celebrated her birthday with an invitation to dinner at their house in pasig last friday. heidi and i go way back in college and we were groupmates in almost all subjects and thesis mates. it was good to see my college friends again specially now that our number is thinning out with some following the others who have moved out of the country a few years back. i expected the food to be a culinary delight since heidi's family are into the catering business and having dined numerous times at their house during overnights back in college, i was all set for some uber yum food. and i wasn't disappointed.

i found out just how small the world really is back during one of our group overnights when it heidi turned out to be the first cousin of someone i was crushing on back in high school. i wasn't surprised then when L came to the party, after all, heidi & her cousins are close. its ironic though that of all the people i would see fifteen years after high school turns out to be L ('course not counting my friends and those who work at intel). L and i moved in different circles back in high school, each enjoying different popularities. i was pleasantly surprised then as we were leaving and i flashed him a smile when he smiled back and extended his hand. as i shook it i thought how funny that this was the first time i think that i really met him.

nothing really, just nice to see someone from way back.

still groggy from sleeping late last night, i still managed to beat my alarm clock morning to get ready for school. i made sure i had a hearty breakfast (which was more like a super early lunch) of rice, nilagang ribs and lumpiang shanghai - yeah, i'm stupidly pigging out on rice lately. i got to school 20 minutes past nine and was frantically searching for my classroom on the board when i realized "shit, i think this elective if differently scheduled." i managed to scan through the bulletin boards to finally confirm that my saturday classes starts september 30. stupid.

i sat down in one of the benches to figure out what to do since i was in makati already when my celfone rang. jap, turns out to be my saving grace - she missed out the schedule too. hahaha double whammy. we spent the next thirty minutes laughing at our hilariously stupid mistake.

i spent the better part of the day hanging out, and finally meeting the last of the lawyer "barkada" - jing, who coincidentally were friends with jim, dino and ramil.

i was deadset on staying home sunday to read 130 pages of my information technology textbook when bree called up and invited me to go malling and watch "john tucker must die." bree needed to do some shopping since he was going to paris on tuesday. and since i was in the mall already, i decided to tag along - wrong decision. after two stores, i had on hand 6 shirts and 2 belts - and here i was telling myself that i should hold off buying any more shirts because there's literally no more space in my closet. oh well, the stuff i bought weren't that expensive and besides, i need some new clothes for school and for my upcoming US trip.

a very productive weekend if i may say so ....
