- April 2, 2011, Saturday.
- Finally, my high school friends and I were able to "formally" see each other again after the "emergency dinner" with Bless and a few around a month ago. We decided to have another Rockband session near UST, and have dinner around there afterwards.
- Bless and I met up with Erlyn and Karel in CKSC, and left there around 3pm. We stopped by at McDonald's Masangkay to have some food taken out, rode a trike to UST, and waited for Berna at the nearby Jollibee.
- After Berna arrived, we walked to the new Rockband place at P. Noval Street, where we played for three hours. During that three hours, other friends came one by one. We ended up having nine people in the group - a really good number of people!!
- We left the Rockband place at around 7pm - funny when we went in the sun was still up - and decided to have dinner at SR Thai. The SR Thai in P. Noval did not suit Marvinson's taste, because all he wanted to order were out of stock. We felt a bit suspicious about the place too, because the name of the restaurant, as claimed by the menu, was "Rouz Thai Restaurant" (or something like that.) The waitress told us that the SR Thai there was "still" SR Thai, but that specific branch was converted to "Rouz." Errrrr, maybe that explained why the menu still had items from SR Thai, but many other items were Filipino/Chinese-like food.
- We decided to leave that branch, and go to the original branch in Dapitan. I guess the slightly long walk inside UST and around UST were all worth the effort. All nine of us were welcomed by the distinct Thai pictures that hung on the walls, as well as the owners of the restaurant. The owners were having dinner with a few other people at the back table, and they were speaking in Thai.
- It was funny how we joined two tables together so we could sit as a big group, but the group ended up with the guys talking amongst themselves, and the girls had their own conversation. We also had an authentic-but-light-on-the-pocket Thai dinner. That's what I like about SR Thai. (I have only tasted the branch in Katipunan, until today.) By the way, I was able to say some Thai phrases to the owner. Hahahaha. Yay for Thai. ( I really want to learn the language seriously in the future, after learning all the languages I'm learning right now.)
- As we were preparing to leave the restuarant, we thought of going to a dessert place, where we can extend our night. While Marvinson and Bernadette were discussing where it would be nice to have an inexpensive dessert (sorry California Berry, you ain't cheap,) Jessica and Oliver announced that they needed to go home.
- Marvinson directed us to Cerealicious, but we later found out that it was close. Coincidentally, Berna lived in the building where Cerealicious was, and invided us to hang out in her house, until we wanted to go home.
- Most of us were first-timers in Berna's home-during-schooldays (it's not really Berna's "house," she just stays there when she has school, or school-related stuff.) We found her small unit cute, simple, colorful, and unique. We had much excitement in having small photo sessions with my new camera. We also played simple card games, simple enough for me to understand. (I don't pick up card games well, so I'm one of the rare post-modern teenagers who can't play cards, except for the insanely simple ones.) I guess what made the "simple" games exciting was adding slight variations to them. We played until around 11pm, when Erlyn's dad came to fetch us, and drove us home.
- I am really thankful that today's events happened. There were a lot of us today, which meant more fun, but what I treasured most about this day was the privacy we had in all three places we settled in (especially in Berna's house.) I hope that we would have more chances to go out this summer, despite some of us reviewing for board exams, having trips abroad, or even work. Also, I hope that we'd get to go farther next time, so we can discover - and conquer - more places. :D:D:D:D
