 After 7 months of quarantine, I did it - went out for my first "non-essential labas".  To celebrate all occasions of 2020, from my birthday, to Doe's, to Minz', and our 10th year in the company, we had breakfast in Tagaytay. There was more to it really, the main reason we HAD to come and see each other in person, but that's not my story to tell.  It was pouring the night before; iniisip ko na baka di rin matuloy and maybe, that's okay. I was hesitant for obvious reasons, but have to admit there was excitement at the same time. It almost felt like I was going out on a first date. I even exclaimed "excited na ko magsapatos ulet". Almost all of my shoes are already too maalikabok!    

I also had to "air" my pullover and paligo it with perfume dahil galing sa "box of clothes I won't be using anytime soon" - there was a faint but noticeable smell of plastic.   

As soon as we stepped out of the car, I felt the familiar piercing breeze on my face and thought to myself - Oh I've missed this.   

A woman had her photo taken with the lake in the background, and immediately said, almost yelling "syempre 'di ko ipopost!"   

Ganon na talaga 'no? Disclaimer is a must (protocol was followed, we wore mask, did this, did that). Well maybe, to ease the worry na rin of our loved ones. I sent a photo to our family groupchat, and of course noted that we were cautious.   

Something has changed though, while going over the menu, ang naiisip ko lang sa bawat napipili ko "oh boss can cook this", or "we can easily make this at home, mura pa". Ang ending, nadisappoint ako sa napili ko. But I enjoyed having breakfast al fresco. The coffee was good and the restaurant is also pretty.  It's nice makakita ng labas while eating. The Binintiang Malaki seemed closer and I feel like I was the only one who noticed it.  Malungkot lang 'coz a lot of establishments in Tagayay, just like elsewhere nagsara na rin. Tatay mentioned it, and nakakalungkot rin makita talaga.

Doe dropped us off at Festival Mall. And yes, it's been 7 months na rin since I last set foot Alabang. Nablanko pa ko when thinking saan ang mga Japanese restaurants coz yun ang request ni boss na pasalubong. Well, Yabu kasi una kong naisip, walang Yabu sa Festival, and wala na ko balak lipat pa Town Center.    

Less uneventful weekend 'til  we all go back to our normal, hopefully soon. For now e-numan muna and maybe, another social distancing coffee date.

"Don't you think maybe they are the same thing? Love and attention?"

I wish on occasions that I have time to write, I am at better state of mind. 

Maybe not after watching a sad film. 

You know what, Lady Bird isn't a sad film. It's a beautiful film, but it made me feel things. 

I can't seem to meet my own expectations and struggle at changing my ways.

I'm glad my life isn't a movie. It's far from entertaining, there is zero character development, the female lead is starting to get annoying, and she's not even that pretty.

There is exquisite music though, that I can guarantee.

Now playing
