Day out with Rica

It's been a VERY long while since I last saw Rix. We also barely talked this past year. I think last I saw her was still last February. Lost in touch, I guess. She was busy with her work, and I was in my self-imposed "sabbatical" from society! Haha!

Anyhoo, she contacted me a night before and asked if I want to go shopping with her the next day. I had prior commitments before, but I thought: "Sayang naman, minsan nalang kami magkita ni Rix..."

And so I nag-confirm ako kay Rix! Haha!

Usapan namin is 11am at Trinoma. I panicked when I woke up late and its already 10:30am! So I rushed in the shower, and dressed up as fast as I can. When I started the car, it was Rix calling at the my phone! Panic ako! I thought she might already be in Trinoma na... and here I am, still starting my car and inching out the garage!

Shet.... yun pala kakagising palang ni rixbaby18! Hahahaha! Anak ng.. I still had all the time in the world! Haha! So I just drove around (hindi na ako nag stay sa house, baka mapahiya ako sa katulong... getting excited over nothing.. haha!).

After getting to Trinoma, I finally met up with Rix and her new china doll bangs hairstyle (wowowow wowowowow siiiing! lol jk). And to think, its been only the 2nd time we saw each other in the whole of 2008! ;p

We immediately went to our original destination: Greenhills. Kwentuhan galore on the way. I guess that's the greatest thing about Rix... you never run out of conversations. Haha.

And we opted to go to Greenhills since Rix is gonna buy presents for her family (wow, pwede bang magpa-ampon? haha). After buying a phone for her dad, clothes for her cousins, and searching for her brother's "sexy polo".. we went and had a late lunch in Mexicali (actually, my first meal for the day). Kwentuhan all those times, since we had a lot of catching up to do.

Afterward, we went straight back to shopping! This time, we are searching for things to buy for ourselves. At the least, I was able to buy a gift for her. And while browsing around, we saw a shirt with the print "Single ako!" and thought that it was funny. Haha. So I bought one for her, she bought one for me... and another for MYK! Hahaha! So pag lumabas daw kami, yun ang suot naming tatlo! Haha!

Another new thing I learned about Rica is that she now collects perfumes. We went around almost every fragrance stores in Shoppesville, naghahanap ng perfumes. I actually learned a lot. Nakakaaliw pa yung sales lady kasi lahat ng pinapaamoy namin sa kanya, alam niya kung anong scent... parang daga. Hahaha! ;p

After a while, we went to Starbucks. I thought it was still 7-8pm palang, 10pm na pala. Rix treated me a cup of frap and continued our ongoing kwentuhan. Eventually, we decided to stroll around one last time until all the stores are closing na. We decided to leave Greenhills.

On the way to Ortigas, out of the blue, nagkayayaan kami mag Tiendesitas! Haha! Pauwi na sana kami at mag-left na kami for Edsa Highway nang:

Me: Rix, gusto mo mag Tiendesitas? Okay din dun.
Rica: Tara!

Haha! Once we got there, ikot ikot kasi may Tiangge din. I was able to buy a Buddha printed box made in Thailand. And sorry sa tindera, barat ako! Haha.

Thinking that there was a live band and food stalls around, I thought why not eat na rin. I was a bit hungry that time narin since almost close to 12am na. Mali rin pala ung akala ko... actually, pasara na rin pala ang Tiendesitas ng 12am... dati kasi, akala ko mga 12am nagsisimula ang party dun. Haha. So we just sat at one table there and ordered a few pica-pica before the store closed.. at least something to tide us over during our kwentuhan.

After some time, we eventually decided to go home.

It was nice being with Rica's company again. I really enjoyed the kwentuhans just like old times. I guess I really miss my friends' company after all. :)

Here's hoping for more gimiks in the future! :)
