The Weather Vortex and Teleportations: Kozui and Serendra

- October 27, 2010, Wednesday

- I started the day by wearing my Filipiniana-inspired outfit, meeting my neighbor, and going to Soler to wait for the ever-so-reliable Danicar. Charmaine and I met Zachary, which was a surprise, since we didn't know that he was going with us on our adventure today.

- The Danicar came later with Danica and Eric, and we were on our way to Kozui Green Tea for lunch. Kozui Green Tea is found somewhere in Tomas Morato, and serves really affordable Japanese dishes (around a hundred something to two hundred per dish,) drinks, and desserts. The restaurant, however, doesn't have credit card machines; all payments can only be made via cash. I think a lot of health buffs out there would also appreciate this restaurant since a lot of the items on the menu also use green tea as a primary, or secondary ingredient.

- After a really inexpensive, light but filling meal, we all headed to the Ateneo to pay out tuition fees. Since other year levels are enlisting today, or will enlist in the next two days, the school was almost empty. Paying was a breeze, and walking around school felt a bit awkward because of the lack of people. While waiting for Danica's driver, Mang Fernando, we sought shelter in the MVP Basement's Loyola Bookstore after the heavy heavy rain fell. We hoped that the rain would stop soon since we didn't want the rain to spoil our trip to Serendra.

- Danica told us that Katipunan had a rain magnet, or vortex of some sort, since storms and rains usually like to hang out around that area, while all the other areas, like Manila or Makati, are still dry. Weird enough, I had the same sentiments too. After Mang Fernando came, we all headed towards The Fort. The moment we got out of Quezon City, the rain became lighter, and ultimately stopped when we reached The Fort. It didn't seem to rain in The Fort earlier, since the roads in Taguig were dry. Well, only proves Danica's theory more.

- We first went to the newly-opened Muji store everyone's fussing about. The things in Muji were a bit expensive, although I think their clothes are more or less reasonably priced, given that it is a Japanese brand, and they're of high quality. I also found the PERFECT UGGS for me, but they (so far) only come in small and medium sizes. I have big feet (size 9.5~10,) so fail. :|:|:|:|

- After leaving Muji, we went to Fully Booked, looked around, saw nice (but expensive) things, and walked around Boni High and Serendra.

- We decided to have an early early dinner in Conti's, since we had nothing better to do, and Zach insisted on going home early, since he needed to meet up with "someone." *ehem ♥♥♥♥ ehem* Well I guess our big big dinner took away some time, as well as a few last minute shopping (food shopping that is) by some people.

- We all got home pretty early (six something to seven in the evening,) although the sky was already pitch-dark. I can feel the Christmas air starting to envelop the city; it also helps that Christmas songs are starting to be played more and more in stores everywhere. Still, for now, I hope for a great last semester, despite being "lucky" to have taken a supposedly terror prof in theology, a subjects I almost always have a hard time in. For everyone not involved in the academic world, advanced Merry Christmas!! Cheers to more (hopefully more exciting) adventures!! :D:D:D:D
