I went out tonight. The first time this week. I picked up with Adi, Adji, and his friend Bobby at Megamall then we went to Chilis in Greenhills for dinner. Jenny followed us there 30 minutes later and I made the introductions. It was okay. I miss hanging out with the guys but it’s not the same without Sherwin. We miss the damn fool so Adji called him and we got to talk to him for a minutes. He said he misses Manila so I told him to come back so we can do our goddamn podcast. He said he wants to come back but he needs to find a replacement first. Jenny found out she has common friends with Adi and Adji so that’s nice. It really is a small world.
Jenny and Adi had to leave earlier so the rest headed to Promenade. We browsed for books at Fully Booked but could only drool because they were so expensive. We just ended up having coffee at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf (where else? I hate Starbucks) and that’s where we spent most of the night talking about art mostly. Adji mentioned that The Crucible Gallery offers free nude drawing lessons. I’m thinking about trying it out when I come back but I don’t want to try it alone. It would be more fun trying it with a friend.
We (well mostly me) reminisced about good old Big Sky Mind days and going to gigs. I really miss being out and about until the wee hours of the morning. What I don’t miss are the pretentious better-than-thou people. I wonder if those days will ever come back. Hmm. No that’s not right. Days like that still exists but it was me who turned my back on them. Sometimes I get the urge to come back but I’m not so sure if I can. I’m slowly doing it by going to the occasional gigs but it’s just not the same as before. When I do go, I don’t feel like I’m one with the crowd. I’m just a spectator. A phantom.
I almost forgot, when I got home I suddenly became nauseaus so I had to throw up everything I ate. What a waste of money!
