Kim is driving to our the place that she recommended. While driving we laughed, talked, and shared stories from what happened when we're not contacting each other's social.

We arrived at the place after a couple of hours in the car, I guess the saying is true that when you have company minutes turns to seconds.

"Now where should we start?" Chloe asked "Let's eat first" Clarissa answered "Then to what?" i asked "The Bookstore" Kim also answered while smiling, "Alright" Chloe responded, we're off to find a good restaurant and we ended in a Korean restaurant.

Yes, it was a mall but it was bigger than the mall that i always go to.

"So? what do you guys want to order? Clarissa asked

"i want a Jjajangmyeon" i answered

"Mine's Gimbap, i'm not that hungry anyways"

"Then i'll order Japchae" sabi ni Chloe

"Hmm, what should i eat" Clarissa questioned herself

"Try Bibimbap" Kim suggested

"I tried it sa Korea and it was tasty" Kim added

"Then i'll order that" pagkatiwala ni Clarissa kay Kim

Tinawag na ni Clarissa ang waiter para mag order, mabilis lang naman dumating ang mga pagkain.

Nag kuwentuhan kami tungkol sa gusto naming gawin.

"Gusto ko pumalit ng apartment" I smiled "Then we'll help you out" Kim suggested "When ba?" Clarissa asked, "Wala pa naman specific date" sagot ko.

"Basta wag mo naman layuan ah" sabi ni Chloe, I laughed answering her "Syempre di naman ako lalayo, nandito ang trabaho ko eh haha".

After the chikas and eating, we went to the bookstore to find some interesting stories that maybe Kim would buy or even Chloe.
Kim found some books and bought it, she's rich, what can we do about it.

Afterwards we went to the electronics shop, "Should i buy this phone?" Clarissa asked "Well if your phone is broken you can buy that" Chloe answered, "My phone ks working just fine so i'll pass nalang" ang sabi ni Clarissa

it was already 4pm and we went to the arcade, "Let's try this one" Chloe suggested "Sure sure sure" i answered, Kim smiled while saying "Should we take a picture? just for a memory", "We can do that naman, sana hindi mahal" Clarissa said. We took 4photos so we have one for each other.

It was already 8pm when we went home. Today was fun.We bid our goodbyes at the Tanay Church.

Bago ako umuwi, dumaan ako sa park na malapit lang sa Pet Store.

Sa paglakad lakad ko sa park napansin ko na maraming magka relasyon ang nandito 'Ano kaya ang pakiramdam namay kasintahan' sinabi ko saaking isip.

I went home after a few minutes walk.

Pag pasok ko sa apartment, iniwan ko muna ang sapatos ko sa may pinto at pumunta sa kwarto para kumuha ng pam-bahay at iwan ang bag ko, pumunta na din ako ako banyo pagka kuwa ko ng damit, nag hilamos na din at mag totoothbrush san nang napansin ko na ubos na pala ang toothpaste kaya dalidali akong lumabas sa apartment at pumunta sa malapit na 12/7.

Pagka pasok ko sa 12/7 binati ako ng cashier, tumango naman ako in return, kumuha ako ng toothpaste at pati na din ng makakain ko. "Goodevening" bati ko sa cashier, "Goodevening po, ito lang po ba lahat?" bati at sabay tanong ng cashier "Yan lang lahat" i smiled answering their question, "118 po lahat" they said smiling back "Salamat" i thanked them and left. I grabbed a tube of toothpaste, crackers, Pocari, and sliced bread.

I got to my apartment and went to the dining room to place my foods and drink, then went to the bathroom.

After i went out the bathroom my phone rang, it was my mother.

Mother~Nak kailan ka makaka uwi?
