a long day that is February 7, 2009

[late post..]

February 7 was a very very long day for me.

I had to be at Edsa Shangrila Hotel at 8AM.. so we had to leave the house at around 5 o'clock in the morning. From 9AM till about noon I was having my listening, reading, and writing exams. I also discovered that my speaking exam was scheduled later that day. I almost went into panic because I promised to meet Pie, Vyel, and Roan for coffee that night. Anyway, since I really had no choice.. after the exams, I told my mom about my speaking exam.

We had lunch (my mom, dad, brother accompanied me) at Kamayan in Megamall (Saisaki is ♥). Spent the whole afternoon just walking around. Hell! From point A to B.. how many times did we traverse that path? And there's Uncle Dinand's request that we find accessories for his iphone. He wants to have the picture taken and sent to him first before giving us the go-signal to buy it (did I mention that he lives in the States?). Of course, Uncle Cesar wants a pair of shirt that has some sort of Philippines on them. Fortunately, we managed to get what they want and I had a new pair of aviator shades and a new laptop sleeve in the process. :)

4PM came and we had to go to the Richmonde Hotel for my speaking exam. The wait is nerve-wracking.. but I think I did alright.

Finished up the interview at around 6PM and we didn't waste any time in going home. Mom and Dad has a party to go to and I have a girls' night out to attend.

A quarter past 8PM we arrived home. After hitting the shower and changing into a set of fresh clothes, my dad took me to the 7/11 outside our village where I'll meet up with Vyel.

Vyel was already there when I arrived. She told me that Pie will meet us there as well. So we waited for her, when Pie arrived.. Vyel got a call from her mom saying that Vyel had with her the keys to their room. So, we got to go back to Vyel's house first [you see, we were supposed to go to SM Clark for the coffee] so that she can give the keys to her mom.

When we got to Vyel's house, I was a bit puzzled because both Pie and Vyel came out of the car, I mean.. isn't Vyel going to hand the keys back to her mom? why does Pie have to go out of the car as well? So even though I was talking to Pie's brother, I decided to come out of the car as well. As I'm walking towards Tita Beth (Vyel's mom) Roan with the guys just came out of nowhere... (no.. they were hiding behind the gate) and shouted SURPRISE!! with this big tarpaulin with my picture in it.

It was after all, a surprise send-off dinner.

Thank you my dear Stopovers. I couldn't ask for better friends. :)
