The Dinner
October 28, 2009
Damn! its 5:00am, I have to open my eyes and drag myself to shower. I feel like I need 8 hours more sleep. It would be my first time to wake up again this early after more than a month of waking up a little after 6:00am. But I have to…I have an early dinner today with a close friend, that’s why I chose an early shift. After almost a month of planning for dinner, finally, today would be the day. She arranged it, she picked up the place (and she promised to pick up the tab also…..).
Anyways, 4:00pm, I have to log out. Luckily, I’m still on my enjoyable task so I don’t have any problem if I have to be out at exactly 4pm. Meeting place: Greenbelt 5. Of all the places to meet, my friend don’t know its convenience for me. As usual, she was late for an hour. I’m used to it, she will be coming from far North. While waiting, I attended first the mass at Greenbelt Church. I remember more than a week ago, after Sunday mass with my cousin, we were also at the same place and just browsing around when we heard a commotion then gunshots and found ourselves running with the others outside of the building. It was a robbery in broad daylight at Rolex store inside the mall.
Here comes my friend and she looks happy. We ate at the 2nd level of Greenbelt and ordered. I let her order, she has a very good appetite for her weight. We talked life in general, as if we were in a talk show. We must know each other very well so the conversation was just light and even laugh with our views and opinions. And debate some of the gossips that we shared.
After dinner, we strolled around the park. She always bring her camera so we had some picture taking (I wish I was not in my office uniform….wala lang, para lang kaming turista… but most of the time I was taking her pix).
We parted ways around 9pm with the promise that we will be having dinner again. She is adventurous when it comes to foods and wants to try every singe resto at Greenbelt. Wow! I can tell that she really had a great time but I still sense she wants to return back to that place for something. But, that remains to be seen and for me to find…I will wait for our next dinner. Maybe, she would spill it out.
