Visited a Friend

Today, as usual, I woke up super duper late. I finally made a scrambled egg out of my lonesome egg. Now the fridge is empty, except for water. I debated whether to go to SM to get groceries but I'm too lazy. I usually wait when I'm so hungry and start seeing stars...hehehe, kiddding. I just go when I feel like going. And in this case, my hunger wasn't enough to drive me out of the house.

So after a hearty breakfast of rice and scrambled egg, I had a shower and texted my friend Jenneth to ask how she was. She texted back saying that she was busy cleaning house since her husband was arriving from abroad and he's a stickler for cleanliness...see, that's something I can't do, clean house properly...hehehe. She asked if I could go over to her house and help her clean. I replied saying that I'm no good at cleaning and I will only disrupt her cleaning frenzy. She texted back late in the afternoon asking if I could still go. I thought about it and since I think I do owe it to her to visit her, after the numerous favors she has done for me, I dressed up and asked her how I could get there. I have been there twice but usually she would pick me up. I pretty much knew how to get home but not how to go there. So she told me to go to Moonwalk or SM and take either Paliparan or Molino. I decided to go to Moonwalk even though she said it could take sometime waiting for a jeep. Well, I figured that I might as well just walk to Moonwalk since the traffic going to SM was heavy. Plus I could use the exercise after all the food frenzy.

So there I was walking, and walking and walking some more. It wasn't that warm anymore since it was about past 4 PM. There were a lot of people there too. And she was right, it was quite sometime before I found the right jeep. But well worth it I think. At least I avoided the traffic.

There wasn't a lot of traffic going there, luckily. I arrived in one piece in Jollibee Molino. I knew it would be awhile before she arrived so I ordered one chocolate sundae and looked at the people around. There were mostly kids with their moms / families.

I finished my sundae and still no sign of her. But she did come, with Stef. As usual, Ms. Jenneth had a new do with highlights all over. Still looked the same. She ordered fries and sundae for the kids.

When we got to her house, we had the fries and of course, my favoriste soda, Coke. We talked about special ed, our favorite topic, reminisced about the good old days and our chat adventures....hehehe...its never boring with her.

Finally, I had to say good bye as it was getting late almost 9pm. As usual, she dropped me off at Molino and I boarded a jeep going to SM. It took awhile before the jeep left as manong driver had to make sure it was almost filled up with people. I was seriously nervous when I looked at the people there. Funny thing was, before, when we'd go home after shift around 11pm, I never felt nervous in Alabang or even when I'd go home in the wee hours of the morning with my batchmates. But today, I felt nervous. So I pocketed my mobile phone and my lone one thousand peso bill...I was going to use that for my grocery just in case someone there with dishonorable intentions would get my bag or something. There was basically nothing in my bag except for toilet paper, lipstick, my precious prayerbook, an umbrella and my coinpurse. So I won't feel too bad. Anyways, nothing untoward happened except for manong driver suddenly breaking. I don't know if he saw a creature cross the street or he thought he saw something. What's important is that I got home safe and sound.

And that's about my adventure in Marcos Alvarez Avenue. Tomorrow, its back to school. So I should be posting this and going to bed by 11 so I would up early and won't be late again...I'll write more next time.
