Tuesday was Jessica's birthday, so a bunch of us decided to meet up in Makati to go to her place together.

Earlier that day, I got a text message from Ferson saying that he was in the Greenbelt area, and asked where I was. So I told him what time I could get out of the office, in hopes that he'd stay until I got out so we can meet.

Sure enough, Son was still in the area when I got out, so we decided to meet at Glorietta. When I had just stepped on the escalator leading to the 3rd floor of Glorietta 4, I noticed this one girl on the other escalator (going down) that looked like Nikki. Risking embarassment, I shouted Nikki's name and the girl looked up. Hahaha, sure enough, it was Nikki, so I went on shouting to tell her to go up the escalator again. Coolness, I managed to find her just when I was about to meet Son. So the 3 of us sat around in Starbucks just for a few moments for a breather, then we went to KFC so Son can have a bite to eat.

Cris had joined us after a while, and then we went to Goldcrest so Son can find a new housing for his cell phone. Nicco had already texted me while we were in KFC that he was already in Glorietta so we met up with him outside Goldcrest. Actually, while we were waiting for him there, he had suddenly crept up behind us, nyak.

After a quick trip to Timezone (for Bishi Bashi and Percussion Master) and after standing around in front of the cinemas ticketing area, Nikki had to leave. The rest of us then moved to Gloria Jeans so we can wait for Drei to pick us up. As it turned out, Wetzels' Pretzels was gone and in its place was an extension of GJ. So whee, we managed to nab this whole area of couches just for the four of us.

When Drei had called to say that he was already in his car outside GJ, we had to say goodbye to Son. Then Nicco, Cris and I hopped in the car and we were off to Bel-Air. Hahaha, when we reached Jessica's house, we were kinda shy to get out of the car and walk in, so we parked across the street from her house and waited for a while. Nicco even texted Bryce and pretended we were lost, asking him to come out into the street so we'll know where the place was. When he was outside, we started fooling around with him, shaking the entire car while we were still inside. Hahaha, we did that at least 3 times before we got out, with him spotting the car we were in with a funny look on his face, as if he was trying to figure out if it was us.

After saying hello and greeting the birthday girl, we went inside the house to find that Alvin and Mervin were already there. Nabbed the dinner table so we can eat, but I was already kind of full by that time, because I already had a white chocolate oreo chiller and a mushroom quiche at Gloria Jeans.

We hardly knew the other guests, because they were all from different crowds, so it was pretty awkward to mingle. Then when Cris had mentioned that there was this playground in the village, so we set off to find it. There was Cris, Drei, Nicco, Mervin, Alvin and me, walking up and down the streets in search of the playground, but we found nothing, so we went back to Jess' house. Quick bathroom break, and some took more cigarette breaks, and then we asked Jess where the playground was. Hahaha, we had actually walked farther than where the actual place is.

So Drei, Nicco, Cris and I set off again for the playground, hahaha. Naomi (who has been calling since we were at GJ) then called Nicco, asking where he was and how to get to Jessica's place, and he mentioned that we were already there and were actually walking to the playground. She decided to go join us as well, so she got the cab she was riding in to drop her off (along with friend Gracie) at the playground. Hahaha, we ended up playing with the see-saws, even though the seats were sort of wet (because it had rained earlier). We still managed to sit on them by wiping the wet parts with our jackets.

Then we found out that Miko was almost there, so we went back to the party to wait for him. After a while, the very same group, this time with Miko, returned to the playground, hahaha.

That's the thing I don't like about holding parties. I don't want those parties because knowing that you have friends in different circles, it sometimes gets pretty awkward for some groups to mingle and it gets pretty hard to keep track of each group of friends.

Anyway, so there we were at the playground. Back to the see-saws, hahaha, just talking about anything under the sun. There were only two see-saws that were next to each other, so Nicco and I occupied one, and Drei and Miko had the other. Cris had found a couple of her office mates that had passed by so she went off with them for a while, and Naomi and Gracie were pretty content just standing next to the see-saws, sort of checking Nicco out, nyahahahaha.

When we realized that we had spent quite a lot of time at the playground already, we then decided to go back to Jessica's house, and settled ourselves back at the dining room table with Merv and Alvin (on their nth plates) for some card games.

Lola na ko, hahaha. I keep hearing that from people, and I use it on myself as well. I was getting sleepy by the time we were in the middle of the card games, and just perked up a bit when Pio had arrived because he had quite a story to tell, ahehehehe. Rawr, I really wanted to go home and sleep right then and there, but I was too polite to say anything to be the limiting factor, so I waited until someone had decided to go home, and that was Miko and Merv, at around 1:30 in the morning.

Said goodbye to the birthday girl, and then after dropping Cris off at Starbucks 6750, Drei, Nicco and I went back to the south. At some points during the quick ride (because we were going pretty fast along the highway), I was kinda sleepy, and sometimes, I would get wide awake, depending on what topic Drei and I were talking about (Nicco had conked out in the backseat, as usual). When we were already in BF, we had this sudden urge to eat at Sinangag Express, so we decided to wake Nicco up and ask him if he was feeling up to it.

Drei: Nicco... [Nicco stirs.] SEx tayo.

WAHAHAHAHAHA! If someone else was listening in, what he had said would've sounded so weird.

Whee, another holiday on Friday.
