Real Pabaon

Today supposedly, the seniors of the AdMU would be having some senior-type stuff instead of regular classes. "Pabaon" they called it. Not. Hahaha.

-Woke up. Tried calling Poca. No answer. Twice I called and he didn't answer. I found out later that he could've answered, he just didn't. Thanks Pat.

-As I was driving to school, Ian texted me about "Pabaon." According to him, I'd need a book to stay awake. Uh-oh.

-Got to school. Looks like Ian was right and "Pabaon" was hella boring and therefore it became, in my eyes, optional.

-Camille and Wissa arrive. Wissa automatically makes me happy by motioning the universal Left 4 Dead sign. I am so ready for some L4D.

-We debate on whether or not we are to go inside. This takes a while.

-Andrea shows up. We eventually decide to go inside but stay by the doors.

-We leave like 3 minutes later. Andrea follows suit as she can't understand Filipino :))

-The decision is made. CHILI WILLY'S!

-I see Poca in the parking lot hurrying towards Leong Hall. We stop him at the crosswalk and kidnap him, forcing him to come with us. He obliges rather quickly.

-My car's our transport. Heading to Katipunan and CHILI WILLY'S!

-Camille and I concoct a plan. Wissa renders it useless :))

-Wissa loves Tik Tok too. Good job Dub :))

-CHILI WILLY'S is open! But there is no parking available. So damn it.

-Wissa has a better idea: NEW BANAPPLE!

-NEW BANAPPLE's parking challenges me. The guard wants to see if I can put it over the sidewalk. Easy as banapple pie.

-However, the (non-)hassle could've been avoided altogether had Geeann not beat us there and taken the less obstacle-y parking slot.

-We go inside. This is my first time in a BANAPPLE, much less NEW BANAPPLE. I have to ask Camille how to order. :))

-Patrick is stumped. What do I order? Something with rice? What??

-Andrea has a discount card, announces this fact to me and doesn't offer to let me avail of it too. THANKS Moo. (Kidding! :p)

-Geeann got thinner or (taller.) Geeann: "Ganon talaga 'pag tumatanda ang babae." Patrick got creepier. Patrick: "Parang pumayat ka nga. Chine-check out kita."

-The strawberry cheesecake thing looked good. I will get some next time.

-Orders are made and we sit around our cramped little table. We were not in an episode of How I Met Your Mother and we weren't in McLaren's.

-Small talk. The table provides our topic. Was it a banapple in the sea, really? Wissa: "M&M's? M&M's."

-We move to another table. Less cramped. But the design is reminiscent of marbles so Patrick is happy. Patrick: "Jolen?"

-In a stroke of genius (or insanity) Wissa wants to go back and sign on the sign-out sheet. Andrea shockingly agrees. She, Dub and I head back to Ateneo.

-Wissa drives. I'm alive and typing this. That's all you have to know about her driving. And that she has road rage when there's no music.

-"Wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy," God I love that song.

-Shortcut! Wissa is an experienced driver.

-Andrea makes kuwento.

-A ride with Andrea, Wissa and me is not awkward. Not awkward at all.

-Hehe @ the line directly above.

-Suffice to say, we accomplish what we set out to do. I will not delve into the details for it involved morally questionable acts.

-(Will someone from OSCI read this?)

-Back to NEW BANAPPLE. Wissa doesn't kill us naman. The parking nearly killed me though.

-The three of us finally get to eat. My longganisa was okay. Geeann's order was great too.

-Andrea was the only girl who finished all of her food. Go Andrea!

-Wissa needs to use the bathroom. I accompany her in the waiting area. The person who walks out of the ladies room makes Wissa and I do a double-take. Strange.

-Camille finishes my water. Boo.

-Apparently, for some people, L4D > The Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist

-Geeann, Wissa and Andrea in one car. Camille, Poca and I in the other.

-Camille, why were you in front? Kala ko ba kapag may guy, yung guy sa harap? :))

-Though our attempt to catch the mass was met with failure since we got there when it ended. Nice.

-Separate ways. Bye guys.

We all thought Pabaon was going to be this really important lecture on graduating. Turned out it wasn't. Turned out Pabaon was really about taking the things College gives you out into the real world and cherishing it for the rest of your days. You know, things like friendship. After 4 years, but what really felt like no time at all, I was at a restaurant with the friends I began college with having fun and just enjoying the each other's company. What are the odds? :)
