I had lunch with my “kumare” yesterday and met my über-adorable goddaughter, who just turned a year old, for the first time. It was awesome catching up with her and I’m hoping to be able to hang out more often. I really missed her. You can say she was one of my best friends at my old workplace ^^
After lunch, I took the MRT to North Ave. to go to SM North. I haven’t been to SM North EDSA in about fifteen years so I was scared of being lost. Although only someone mentally challenged would get lost on the MRT with the mall in sight. I got off at Trinoma and was proud of myself when I found the easiest way to SM North in under ten minutes. And don’t snort at that. I once got lost for an hour going from the Ayala MRT station to Glorietta 5 which is right along frakking Ayala Avenue.

I found a guard within two minutes of entering the mall and asked for directions to National Bookstore where Jette and I agreed to meet. We went bookshopping before she had merienda at Barrio Fiesta. And since I was still stuffed with pizza and pasta from Sbarro, I declined. I was also too sleepy to consume any more food. I was sure that my body would pull all the energy reserves I have to digest the food so I didn’t get anything to eat. We went to Precious Pages at the 3rd floor to wait for Katrin, a reader that we agreed to meet so we could sign some of her books. She came with her parents which I thought was incredibly sweet. Then, Queng arrived and man, I really missed her. I miss Harrieth too but then she’s in Cebu so… :p
We hang out for a bit, talking, laughing, catching up, before we said good bye because they needed to go to the grocery and I needed to… well, crash. So I retraced my steps to the MRT to go back to SM Megamall. I had a quick dinner (President’s Tea House at the food court for sweet and spicy fish fillet) before I went home. I didn’t immediately crash. Not as soon as I got into the house, but I happily perused my new book haul
