A New Experience
Well, today is actually a normal Saturday with a few twists. Last night, I had my mind set to staying here in Manila for the weekend. Suddenly, this morning my aunt said she had to go home to Pampanga. I really didn't want to go because I had so many things to do and I need the internet in doing most of them. I told my aunt I'd be staying here while she and Nina went home. So there. Well, I was about to print something for my report in Social Studies when I found out that we're out of ink so I had to go to Rob to have the ink refilled. I called Vanir to go with me since I knew she was going to buy her bag today but then she said she'd be busy doing the laundry with her mom so I had no choice but to go out alone. When I was about to go out, I did notice the dark clouds. I wasn't bothered since I always bring my umbrella with me whether it be sunny or whatnot. Anyhoo, it was still really hot when I rode the LRT at Gil Puyat Station. Upon arriving at the UN Station, the droplets of rain started to fall. I was still dry when I passed by MaSci. But, when I was already passing UP the wind did its job. The moment I stepped in Rob I looked at myself and I saw myself soaked with rain. I was all alone soaked from head to toe with rain. But, the thing is I still felt cheerful. So, my adventure began. I went to do what I was set to do, get the ink refilled. After that, I went to PowerBooks. I was shocked to see some books on sale. I really took my time there searching for good bargains. At last, I was able to buy four books. The Mediator by Meg Cabot was only 49 pesos, a new book from a new series only costs 39 pesos, A Barbie Mystery book that costs 15 pesos. I was going to buy a book entitled Confessions of a Heartless Girl which is priced at 49 pesos but I decided not to. Anyway, the Barbie mystery book is not for me. It's for my lil sister because I wasn't able to give her a gift last Sat. for her birthday so it will be a late birthday present. After that I went to Gene Gozun where they sell those cool, colorful belts that only cost 99 pesos which are actually only cloths that you place on your hips or waist. I had my eyes set on those since summer but since I was bankrupt then I wasn't able to buy one until now. I also wanted to buy a blouse and they were also on sale for 99 pesos but then none fit me. Their smallest size is medium and they're a bit big on the shoulders so I decided I'll have to settle for the belt. I was so amazed with shopping when it's sale on the mall. It's the first out I went shopping alone much more on a sale looking for bargains. You know me, I don't care about prices, as long as I like something I don't care bout the price. I'll buy it one way or another. I went to some other shops looking at the items. They were really cheap but I didn't find anything that really caught my eye. After all that window shopping and actual shopping I went to eat at KFC. It was weird eating alone. I can't believe I was able to go out alone, shop alone and eat alone. It brought out a different feeling. I didn't feel like I was alone at all. I didn't feel sad because I wasn't with anyone. I felt like I was independent for the first time. I never go out alone. Even if there's only two of us, I really make sure I have someone with me when I go to the mall or to any other place because I'm scared to go alone. Now, I found out it wasn't so bad after all. It wasn't even boring. But there's still one thing I don't think I'll ever do alone, watch a movie. I'll never watch a movie on my own. Never. But a while ago I wanted to try it. I felt like I want to do something that I never wanted to do before and be able to say that I've done that even just once in my life. Well, maybe I will do those things some other time, not today. The journey home was peaceful and nothing exciting or out of the ordinary happened and I'm now back here, sitting on my chair and typing on my beloved computer, sharing my new experience to the world. The stupid printer doesn't want to work after all the hell I've been to get the ink refilled but it'll work later. It has to. Anyhow, that's all I have to share now. I have to go back to doing my homeworks. I'm back on GC mode again. Tata for now.
you know you love me
