Before I start: Pam - Ela says she misses you. =p
Just came back from visiting my alma matter to hand Tchan her Slam Dunk artbook. Apparently, I walk faster than I did three years ago as it only took me twenty minutes to get from my house to school whereas it used to take me half an hour.
So there I was, standing in the sun at 3:30 pm waiting for Tchan to arrive at Starbucks. Twenty minutes later, she finally appears with her boytoy...errrr, boyfriend...errrr, prom date. ^^ She then tells me to talk and not stare at her. People, I am NR - No Reaction. Contrary to popular belief, I am shy and timid. Even Daimira (whose blog exceeded her bandwidth... should we be happy or sad?) was surprised when she first met me. I am not a vocal person. ^^
Anyway, in the twenty minutes I spent waiting for Tchan, I saw two of my former Math teachers emerge out of Starbucks. Mr. Abcede and Mrs. San Andres. It's nice to know I can still remember the names of my teachers despite the fact that I haven't seen them for the past three years and I'm really bad with names. I waved at them and they did wave back. They probably didn't recognize me with my long hair and all. Too bad I wasn't wearing my contacts. ^^
And then Xaverians come out to head for Starbucks and I see Dice's ex boyfriend, Michael Ngo Dee. I say hi, say a few words, and he leaves.
Backing up to where I left off, Tchan introduced me to her *ahem* prom date and gave her the Slam Dunk artbook. Naturally, she's surprised at my long hair. They then drag me to Starbucks where I watch them sip their coffee and frap. Then Sheila (Tan) enters. She's cute as usual and I wave at her. It took her a moment to realize who I was. Naturally, reaction is how long my hair is and how thin I am.
Sheila: Charles! You're thinner than I last saw you.
Charles: That's impossible. I never gained/lost weight since grade seven. I'm not thinner.
Alas, it's been awhile since I last saw Sheila and Tchan. They're cuter than I remember them. =P Anyway, after some quick chitchat, Sheila left and Tchan was worried about the time during the entire conversation.
When we finally escorted Tchan to her campus, I'm left with her *cough* *cough* prom date. He asks me where my car was.
Guy: So where's your car parked?
Charles: I was serious when I told Tchan that I walked from my house...
Guy: Let them give you a ride.
Charles: No thanks. I want to browse through the malls shops here.
Yup, the Ortigas section has changed in three years. Back in my time, Starbucks wasn't directly outside Xavier. We had to walk all the way to the gas station near Wilson and the only fast food shop outside the school was Burger King. Anyway, there's a puzzle shop in Ortigas (Steph would surely love that) and I visited the gaming shop there. Nothing spectacular, same layout as Neutral Grounds. I guess I won't be finding Mindtrap games there.
I also discover that Zagu doesn't have the one flavor I crave: cherry. Oh well. And I didn't know Tchan had a working blog. >.<
