My Weekend in the South

I just got home from my trip to the South. Ahh...the South of the metropolis - Alabang, how I love the laid-back, relaxing atmosphere that makes you forget about all your worries, specially work-related ones. The place itself is a massage to my aching shoulders and worn out body. This weekend sure was a treat to me, as I met up with my college buddies, whom I haven't seen for a long time. It's been months since I have seen them, since they are quite busy with their lives in law school ( burning the midnight oil with books so many that they can put up a library already ), while I am drowning in work, and pushing my way to my first million as an entrepreneur. Oh, with my spending habits, I don't know :)


Mike and I somehow got lost on our way to Angel's. We were in total shock, and alarm when we saw that the Filinvest Exit was CLOSED, and we had to drive to the Susana Heights exit to turn around. We almost went for Calamba! Hahaha! Goodness. Imagine two people from Quezon City driving for hours ( well, it was he who drove ), to go further than Alabang. Quite frustrating, with the roads pretty dark and creepy. Good thing it only took us a good 15 minutes or I would have complained. Hahaha!

When we got to Angel's house, and picked her up, we immediately went for California Pizza Kitchen at Alabang Town Center to get our Italian food fix. God, that drive got me so hungry, that I ended up eating alot ( I am soooo insane for their tomato basil spaghettini and chicken bbq salad. their four cheese pizza was a total yumyum too! ), and I think I looked pregnant after eating that much. Such a pigout for moi. Hahaha! We went to Powerbooks to check out the books on sale, and I got books for my baby sisters Sugar ( Harry Potter - the Half Blood Prince, which she was pleading me to buy her months ago ) and Sunshine ( a Betty & Veronica double digest which she so loves reading ), while I got Negosyo, a business book for myself. Maybe I'd get inspired all over, to pursue all of my dreams. God, I need to be motivated! We were so pressed with time that I wasn't able to teach Angel on how to apply eye makeup, but I promised her that I would, given that I was free. Mike and Angel teased me mercilessly about being their princess. Well,it's fun to play along!

The serious talk, started when we settled at a spot in the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf shop. Angel started laying out her tarot cards and read about me. It further clarified my issues with that person, but I don't know if it was another case of false hope presented to me. I'm just so in denial right now. Mike, on the other hand, got some enlightenment and pushing from both of us to do, or not do something. I'm sure he's gonna find the girl of his dreams someday. Angel on the other hand, needed to realize her potential, well, not just potential but FULL potential according to my cards. The "emperor" will be in full view next time, I so hope.

The evening had to come to an end because I was needed home. Oh well, here's to more weekends in the south and soul-enriching conversations with my friends.

Smack That. :)
