It’s already August Mr. T! 8th month of the year. 8 very roller-coaster-y months. Hmmm… went out with him again Mr. T! But during half of the day I was with my thesis mates in the thesis room. The weather was devastating a while ago. Boats were needed for students to cross Taft. Of all those times I wore slippers, I wonder why I didn’t wear them a while ago. My socks and shoes got soaked from the flood. Good thing the thesis room had spare slippers. I hanged my wet cardigan, shoes, and socks in an empty thesis room cubicle. To those people who are using that cubicle, forgive me. Then Sheila installed our finished thesis on our laptops. I just so hope we pass this Saturday. Then someone from Fitness First kept calling me. I didn’t want a free pass! Please! Went to have merienda in Eric’s. I really feel that the employees in Eric’s love me because everytime I eat there these days, they keep giving me freebies and extras.Hahaha…

Then he went to fetch me in school again. The Bodyguard he is. I told him to not fetch me anymore since the weather was really terrible. But he insisted. He waited for me in Red Ribbon again, but this time, outside Red Ribbon. He wanted us to have dinner again. I said yes. The line in LRT1 was long. Long as in super long. I told him that we walk til Quirino station so we could get on the train easily. We took the street infront of Providence. It was flooded. So we walked to an eerie small street. Thank God we managed to get out of that street alive. The street we ended up was familiar. There were jeepneys going to Paco. We tried walking and tried to see if we’d end up in Quirino. But unfortunately, the streets beyond were also flooded. He wanted to ride the jeep. I didn’t. I wanted to ride a cab. After almost an hour of waiting for a cab, thank heavens a cab arrived. That was when we started walking and moved away from the place we were waiting for nothing to arrive. Every street was flooded. The taxi driver wanted to take the UN route. I suggested we take the Quirino route. But he insisted traffic was hell there. So there, we took UN. Goodness, it was traffic. Traffic as hell! Really! I fell asleep inside the cab. I don’t know if he fell asleep too. But before I fell asleep, Barry called me up and told me that his car was already floating in Makati. He didn’t come to class thanks to the flood. His parents sent a truck to pick him up in that place. Shushal! There, Barry was able to talk to him. I’ m really not fond of talking on the phone. So I pretended I had a choppy signal. Then I fell asleep.

Woke up when we were already in Mandaluyong. He had to go work by 8pm. He called his office and called for a half day. I told him to go to work instead though late. He insisted to have dinner. This time in Greenhills since we were already near the place. In Greenhills we were thinking of a place to eat. I wanted to have Chowking Congee. But Chowking was already closing. He asked me to try something I haven’t tried before. We passed by Tender Bobs in Promenade. We went inside. We ordered. We talked. We laughed. We ate steak.  We took pictures. We paid and cried. Hahaha… cried because of the bill. Barry kept calling me while we were eating. He kept on ranting about his car and that the truck still hasn’t arrived. Goodness. He’d do anything to spoil a date! But that’s Barry. Get a life Barry! So there, I already wanted to go home Mr. T! The rain had stopped. Again, he insisted to accompany me in the jeepney I was to ride on. He wasn’t so worried about going to work since his shift would start by 1am. So, I didn’t refuse. T’was safer to ride the jeep with someone who’s accompanying you and bigger than you that time. So there, got home safe. He texted he’s in the office too. Thanks for holding the umbrella again and carrying my heavy bag. And for paying for the bills too! And yeah about the absent and the late deal, I mean it ;-P

It was a night Mr. T! :-)

8 months. It has been 8 months…

While walking in Greenhills:

Jacob             : Uy, may Burgoo pala sa Promenade
Bodyguard     : Yikeee, may naaalala siya...
Jacob             : *said nothing. continued walking*
Bodyguard     : O sorry naman...
