- May 27, 2011, Friday.
- Just before June starts to kick in, my high school friends and I decided to (try to) meet up, so Jessica and I could once and for all give away the presents from our trips abroad. We weren't complete today, but at least more than half of us came to Shakey's tonight.
- Bless, Jessica, and I were the first three ones to arrive, and waited for the others to come, before ordering our food. Most of the people came an hour later, so we started eating around 7-ish in the evening. We decided to be a little "different" tonight, so we ordered chicken and chips, a rootbeer tower, and a Friday special - just because today is a Friday.
- Although the food and drinks were supposed to be enough for all of us, the food seemed to be a bit limited. Instead of ordering more from Shakey's, we decided to tumble to Shakey's' neighbor, McDonald's. Erlyn surprised all of us when she told us that she'd pay the bill, since she just passed the CPA exam. (Thanks Erlyn!!)
- At McDonald's we quickly grabbed a spot, and I was the first one to order; the other's preferred to "settle down and chat." I saw my friend Herly behind the counter, so I got excited to have the chance to order stuff from her again. I never knew she worked until evening.
- While standing in line and waiting for my turn to order, my high school friend Erwin called me from behind. I was surprised and very glad to have seen him again, and I told him to look for our table once he finished ordering. I figured he'd know some of the people I was with. Erwin told me that he'll just sit somewhere near our table.
- After starting my (second) meal, Erwin came with his tray, and sat at the table behind us. He seemed so keen to talk to me, and all the other people he knew from our table, so I gladly cleared a spot for him, and asked him to sit with us. Erwin did, and that was the start of a rather lengthy night of nonstop talking. Of course, memories and "banats" are inevitable, and those made our table even livelier than ever.
- After having a busy week, and being more tired by the thought of having a hectic week next week, this short dinner seemed to have given me some air from the rather stressful pre-Korea preparations. Truly, a small gathering with friends can be a good way - sometimes the right way - to end the week. (Yes, I know Saturday's waiting for its turn to come, but I'll leave that for tomorrow. Haha.)
