Book Club

It was a normal Sunday, the sun fell within the sky’s level just to give out a modest shine, not so humid nor chilly.  Just right. A perfect weather to stay in bed and relax, but knowing I have friends that have toes that itch whenever they tend to rest, I know that thought is rather impossible than typical.

I got a call from Joy asking us to wake up. No, scratch that. DEMANDED us to wake up. And so we did. Tin didn’t have anything important to do either, so we agreed to meet up and spend have the day (at least) in a mall in Alabang.

Everything felt so cozy even while we are straddling the streets of Alabang Town Center that used to be a tiring thing to do but that day it felt way normal, it was like a doing-this-every-week-would-not-hurt-kind-of-thing. We had our late lunch at Johnny Rockets and we helped ourselves order each of us mediocre-sized burgers and sandwiches (of course I didn’t get to finish mine and ended up having it to-go instead)And oh, This cute luggage iphone cases caught our eyes as we were making our way to the book store. 

 We went to Power Books and I swear I could not contain myself from laying my hands on every book I see that I wished I could purchase everything I laid my eyes on. I ended up buying only two of them though, Everyday by David Levithan (which I super looooveee by the way and probably my favourite book as of the moment) and Rainbow Rowell’s Eleanor and Park (which I plan on reading as soon as I can get the plastic wrapper out of the book). Tin went with Gayle Forman's If I Stay which will soon be a movie hit this August.

Being our usual selves, the day would not surely be complete without a serving of coffee at the side. I do not know how we came up to this ritual, we did not start as coffee-holics in the first place but here we are, consuming each of our dose of caffeine that seemed to kick in as we made that first sip. We talked about our friends, our HIGH SCHOOL friends, how we think where they are and how they do now and if ever they did stick together after all the years that have passed like the three of us. It made us laugh and realize how much our friendship had actually gone through and surviving those years we have surpassed. Surely, there were obstacles and difficulties we went through but still we managed to keep in touch and keep our bolts secured (not being sure of those within our heads though) But still, the three of us are here, having our little conversation over three oddly-looking beverages that have caffeine in them and cracking each other up with a laugh every time. We could not entirely survive this with one of us missing though, maybe that is how and why we managed to be this strong, because we bring out the best in each other and no one could ever do the same thing we do to each of us as we do. :)

#HyveNation

The long-awaited night-clubbing had finally taken place! Our high school friends and I have been planning this night since forever. We chose the club Hyve, which seemed to be a spacious and hip bar where we can enjoy the night taking shots and dancing around the place. :)

All in all, we were 12. I made Carlo, one of my colleagues back in SPi, tag along. We met around 9pm at The Fort, but before that we took care of clothing and make up back at Joy’s condo. We had ourselves signed up for guest list so there will be no fuss on our entrance.

We had the lounge area considering we are twelve, and I was the one who picked the drinks for us which I thought were lame because we find some of them seemed very lightly mixed with alcohol. The night was young as we danced along with each other and taking our shots generously as the DJ fires out club music.

We made acquaintances with some of the people there; they were nice to get along with our group’s craziness and all.

My only concern about the club is their choice of music. Well, not being judgmental and all but I think they have to consider that being a Saturday night especially, people are looking forward to songs that just came out from UK’s top 40. Sad to say their set list is more of a back track playlist for me. :(

We left Hyve at around 5am and we went straight to Kanto Breakfast to have our well, yeah – breakfast. I really would like to talk about Kanto Breakfast but I would first like to try more of their meals before doing so. We had the usual: Tapsilog and all the silog meals you can think of plus with a serving of either hot chocolate or coffee. I can’t stop thinking about their blueberry pancakes! I wish I did order them then. :(
