April 5, 2006 - Moments of Love...

I went out today to fetch my girlfriend Vanessa from her office in RCBC Plaza in Ayala... and I was a few minutes late. I made a mistake in riding the bus from our place to Ayala Avenue, so I had to take another bus to get to their building. There she was, smiling at me... and she gave me her cup of coffee. She wanted me to taste the coffee that she drinks in their office. It tasted a combination of hot chocolate and the normal coffee. It was still hot when she gave it to me. Neat thing my girlfriend does for me, huh.. ^_^

We went to Glorietta to eat lunch and just spend time together. We ate at KFC, where I tried their Chicken Teriyaki and she had her two pieces of chicken. Well, those Chicken Teriyaki pieces are VERY small. It's not something that you'd really want to order if you want to get full. It was there wherein I told her the details of my dreams. Well, she told me not to worry too much and to be calm at all times. Well, I guess she's right. I may have blown this dream connection out of proportion. I even jeopardized our harmonious relationship because of it. Oh well... at least that's worked out now.

We roamed around, she was looking for a leather wallet. At first, we couldn't find what she likes from the stores we happened to visit. It was around 2PM then when we decided to catch a movie. We picked "Moments of Love". Since the next showing would still be at 3PM, we roamed around some more, this time, she looked at some cross stitch patterns for a while, and still trying to find a store that sells all leather goods. We were chatting while walking, thinking about the scores that she needs to get to pass her training. She really gets disturbed about the thought that she might not make it. I tried to reassure her that everything would be fine, that she can still make it through. Well, for one, I think that it didn't really get to her. Oh well... that's how she is sometimes... cute. ^_^

We went back a few minutes before 3PM, what's annoying though was that the movie still wasn't finished when we went in, so the ending was showing there... we were able to watch the ending... before the start of the movie. It's a bit of a spoiler to the whole scheme of things... especially with GMA showing tiny bits of spoilers as to what would happen to the movie. You could like, uhm... connect it together by then. But of course, we still watched the movie from the start. While the trailers were showing, she showed me a new game in her cellphone... I don't remember the actual title... it was something like Hunting Tycoon? It was about hunting game animals (like rabbits and deers) and gaining cash for upgrading weaponry and buying extra ammunition. I watched her play until the movie started.

As to the movie itself, it was good to be honest. I don't really expect too much out of a romantic movie, but this one managed to pull off a few tricks off its sleeve. If I have to rate it though, it's like an 8.5/10. Could've been a 9 if they got Karylle's character's last name right. Oh yeah, and her mom's last name was wrong too. Watch the movie and see if you catch the mistake too.

After the movie, we bought a pack of large fries and coke float from McDonald's and we finished it off along the way. We went to AstroVision to check out some movie titles and see if there are some good flicks worth buying. While there may be some nice movies there, we didn't get anything... maybe next time, methinks. Our last stop before heading home was LandMark, where she checked out some clothes for her. No such luck for her too in that department.

We went home by means of commuting. It's not everyday that we commute our way home from Glorietta. For the first time ever, we got to ride an Air-conditioned Jeepney. Of course, the fair was a bit higher (10.00php per person), but it's worth it. I didn't take her home to their place since her mom knows that she was still in the office. So, after we went down from the aircon jeep, we just waited for her to catch her ride home, and I walked over a block for my own ride home.

The traffic was heavy in Edsa when I got there (it was almost 7PM then), so I opted to ride an MRT. It's been a while too... I got home faster, but unfortunately I left my keys to the rooms, so I was stuck hanging around my grandmother's place for a while until my dad arrived at around a little past 9PM.

Vanessa and I were still able to talk, mostly about how she would be faring on her training. I try to tell her that she could still make it and that she is doing well. I am really hoping that she does make it and be successful. She's gone through so much and she deserves to get a little slack cut for her.

I love you baby! Good luck! I'm just here if you need me.

Then do us all a favor and post what you claim is the "correct" information, "Anonymous". Communication abhors a vacuum.

Well, if it's not a case of school rivalry, then I'm sorry. But that's what I've seen. I wouldn't alter what I read now, would I?

And my source is fairly credible so I linked him here.

Then, it must've been a freak accident wherein an honor student drinks from a poisoned jug of water or something.
