9th of January 2008, it was just an ordinary afternoon until Is aw a friend, jay-ann online and asked her if she was free for the night. She was and I decided to meet up with her in Trinoma. Maricel also went online but she can't make it that night so I decided to text mihai too. Coincidence, mihai is already set to meet myke and bitoi that night. I decided to persuade them to meet up in Trinoma instead and I texted bhilog and nalen to add more people to the meet-up. Bhilog was actually in Trinoma at that moment - what a suprise...

So I was so excited I couldn't hardly work that afternoon (lols). We saw each other for the first time this year -2008. The feeling was fresh and overwhelming. Meeting and seeing my old college friends again together. We rarely meet since our work demanded more now unlike before that we religiously meet every week.

I had my camera-phone's keypad replaced then when I got down I saw the five of them (Bitoi, mike, mihai, bhilog and jay-ann). We directly proceeded to aVeneto and had a late dinner around 7:30-8:00pm. It was jay-ann and Bhilog's treat since their birthdays are january 5 and 20 respectively. Bitoi also paid the remaining bill. All I did was to tell stories and make them feel great that night aheheh (Another wish come true - a pizza/pasta dinner for free)

After the endless picture taking, eating, posing and drinking of bottomless iced tea, we decided to take pictures outside. Yup, we all love taking pictures and being subjects of photography ourselves. I truly feel great whenever I am around these people -my artist friends that shares the same aspirations, goals, talents and topak...



Sudden stops and unlimited poses and smiles were released. I remembered I even had a mistake of going in the female comfort room (oops) heheheh. We decided to take a chance on some timezone games... Trivia quiz was fun. though I didn't win lols. The questions are too difficult for me- I'm always the second placer lols. Then I saw an arcade game, myke and me already had our cards swiped and the games begun. I had 2 loses and 4 wins that night. (I lost twice with myke and one to the -anonymous guy) Not bad for someone with no practice. Myke and I were even challenged in a game by a guy (na baka nagpapasikat sa kasamang girlfriend pero baligtad magswipe ng timezone card). Oh well he won nonetheless. I just made sure that I remembered his face - just in case we cross joysticks again I'll make sure he will perish bwahahha (evil laugh).



All things must come to an end... well as we depart we carried more memories of each other. Stress from work seems to diminish and was replaced with smiles and energy... we promised to see each other again... as always....

Twas a wonderful night!!! And until we meet again....
