Last night, Ari had said he would stop by my house before he goes off to work. And yep, he did. We hung around outside my house, just talking.

It was pretty surreal seeing him there in my turf, but I actually enjoyed the company. My week has been pretty crappy, and before last night, the only stuff that made me happy was playing at Timezone and watching Narnia.

So we were just there, sitting on the trunk of Ari's car, just talking. Told him about how my week had sucked, and he told me about his experiences about dating Jenny for a week now. After my brother had arrived from Ate Maui's house and parked the car in the garage, my mom even offered Ari a drink from the store.

Now that was even more surreal, my mom hated Ari for the longest time until after I had made her realize they were sitting next to each other during the opening night of Greenstage's Beauty and the Beast.

Of course, when I first introduced him to Terie, the pup just stared then barked at him, which he hardly does to most strangers. Since I didn't want to make too much noise, I put Terie back in the kitchen, but he licked Ari's hand before I took him, hahaha. So maybe the next time he drops by, they'll be friends.

Once again, my week's been saved by one of life's simple joys of just hanging around and talking with a good friend. Thanks, dearie.
