Getting together with old friends...

Got a message from my friend Nique yesterday afternoon informing me that Alvin, another friend whose current work is based in Cebu, is here in Manila for a few days. Called Alvin up and he said he wanted (more like demanded... :p) to have a get-together with the tropa. All of us could only indulge him (you spoiled brat, you! - and on a weekday at that! ) :p

Plans were settled, and at 9pm (the scheduled time), miss excitement (yep, that's meeh) was all over the place, tidying up the venue and bugging Jon to set up the DVD downstairs coz we planned on watching our wedding video... We last saw each other New Year's Day (when we had our annual get-together) and i was really thrilled to see them all again and talk about the goings-on in our lives.

I've never learned... in all the years that we've been friends, all our planned gimiks never started on time...

I was upstairs, waiting for them, and everytime i would hear our dog bark, or even when i hear a trike or a car pass by, i would frantically go down the stairs and open the front door to welcome whoever come first... just to be disappointed a number of times. Oh well...

Nina and Tsa were the first ones to arrive... at about 10pm. Typical.

..but my impatience with them disappeared the minute i got to see them. By 11 pm, we were almost complete. Nique was still stranded sumwhere doing God knows what... it was just as i predicted - another all-nighter!

Alvin brought Yellow Cab pizza and beer just as promised. I popped a bag of popcorn, and after a few minutes of chit-chats, we were all set to watch the wedding video. =)

A few minutes before the video ended, Nique arrived somewhat drunk... =D Kwentuhan and kulitan, plus a few pics, of course... and then she offered to buy us all a cup of coffee. Yipee!!! Never mind that it was midnight and it's a weekday... we were all going out to enjoy a cup of nice, warm, and FREE coffee!!! =D

Unfortunately for us, the nearby Starbucks was closed already, same goes for Figaro and Mocha Blends. Since neither of us wanted to give up just yet, we tried ATC, but with no such luck either. The coffeehouses we went to were all closed for the night. So, guess where we went to to have our coffee fix??? At Mcdonalds! Hahah! For a couple of hours more, we enjoyed talking, and joking around over a cup of coffee (or chocolate, for some) and hot fudge sundae. great combo, yes? Nyahahah! See that pic of me with the singkit eyes and hot fudge over my pearly whites? That's the crazy meeh all fired-up at past 2am with my crazy gang. Yep. I missed my friends and it felt oh so good to be with them again... even though there are still issues unresolved and unexpressed feelings on my part. But hey, that's another story... ;)
