Busy Bee
February 25, 2007Ever since I got back, I've been terribly busy meeting people and preparing documents. I guess it kinda helps with the jet lag but I've been functioning like a zombie the past few days.
Here's a recap:
Wednesday. Met up with my mom and my sister at Gateway in Cubao. For the record, I don't hate Cubao anymore because Gateway is there now. XD Anyway, we had lunch. I had my first sisig meal! Joy! After that we watched The Holiday, starring Jude Law, Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz, and Jack Black. Nice feel-good movie.
Thursday. Met up with KC at Ever Gotesco in Pasig. He bought an adapter first before we went to his place, which was about 5 minutes away on foot. I got to see him, his mom, brother, and sister again after how many years. It was really nice. I can't believe Bea's that big now. I was pleasantly surprised. Uhm, I also had some documents scanned while I was there. KC was kind enough to do the scanning for me. Then we watched Heroes, tried to install a wireless router (no luck), and they leeched music off my iPod. Had pizza, nachos, and soda, too. Couple of hours later, they let me stay for dinner. KC and his brother then gave me a ride back home. At about 9pm, I asked the driver to take me somewhere in Sta. Mesa Heights to drop something off to our travel agent. It took quite a while to find the place because the house numbers along that street were all jacked up.
Friday. Had lunch with Boker at Kitchen in Greenbelt 3. He had this fish thingy because he followed the whole no-meat rule for Lent. I had seafood as well, but not for religious reasons. I just missed On Barbie's Cue.
After lunch I went to Enterprise, my old office. The people there were pretty much surprised to see me. I got to talk to my old boss, who was basically offering me a job. I told her that I wanted to settle in first, which was half of the truth. I said that I might be ready to come back in about two weeks, so that gives me 'til mid-March to decide. I stayed there the entire afternoon. They even ordered halo-halo for merienda and I got to have some myself. Yummy! That same night I participated in their bowling tournament. They were short one player for the third game so I played 10 frames, but of course, they didn't count my score. I even had a bowling uniform on. Pretty neat.
Saturday. Picked up stuff from the travel agent in the morning. Had a technical phone interview about an hour later, which I basically screwed up. The interviewer was asking me Java questions when I was clearly a Cobol programmer, as stated in my resume. What a waste of time. Submitted documents for a job in New Jersey. Had lunch with Marcelle at Taco Bell, Gateway. He performed magic tricks for me and I was impressed, especially with the coin thing and the bending forks. He also performed for two girls plus their mom, who were seated next to our table. After that I met Mei-chan at McDonald's Katipunan. KC was supposed to be there as well but he dorked out. So it was just Mei and myself. We had a couple of sundaes and just talked about stuff. She had to go about a couple of hours later to meet her boyfriend. I went to Let's Face It to get a facial.
Sunday. Sarah and I met at Ken Afford. She ordered lunch to-go. She drove us from Katipunan to Mich's place in Makati. We ate lunch there. Then we rode a jeep to Glorietta and we were giggling at Sarah because she's so conyo she doesn't commute at all. We watched Bridge to Terabithia. It made me cry, dammit. Simple movie, but nice. Rode a taxi back to Mich's condo, because Sarah got scared. She even paid for the trip. Heheh.
Then Sarah and I went back to her house in QC, where my new phone was waiting. SE K750i, yeba! Dinner there and then Sarah took me home.
Ok, that was a lot. I got tired just writing about it. XD
