I went out again the next day, Friday. This time, I was with my girlfriends. We were supposed to have dinner only but plans always go awry. We ended up eating at the mall's foodcourt and out to a bar for drinks. I didn't drink beer this time, just good old Cali Ice. This is one of my favorite non-alcoholic drinks ever.
We had a good time at the bar, eating pica-pica and laughing out loud. We even chanced upon a college classmate and caught up with her too. One of girlfriends is a new mother and does not want to leave her baby for long. We broke up at around 9pm--yes, that early! But it was just in perfect timing because right before we went home, earthquake struck. It was mild, hardly even felt but it was long, about a minute or so. When I got in the house, I asked my mom but she didn't really feel it and so did my dad. My brother texted if I felt the earthquake and if I was home because he was out too. The earthquake was really miles from our city but still it scared some of the residents here.
It was nice being with my girlfriends again. We've sort of made a pact to meet at least once a month. In a couple of week's they'll be here in the house for the baby's birthday bash.

thursday night
After so long, I finally went on a night out. It was something unplanned but turned out to be one of the best nights ever.
Last Sunday, I chanced upon my ex-bf's nephew, E, at the supermarket. We have always been great friends ever since I was in a relationship with his uncle. Even after we broke up, we maintained our friendship. He was back in town for a quick vacation for work and we agreed to meet up later. I was still going to the wake of my friend's father and then we would go out afterwards. My folks just dropped me at the funeral parlor. I called up my brother to fetch so I could get my own wheels before going out. When I got home, the baby was sick with fever. He was so hot so I gave him medication and decided not to go out anymore. I texted E and asked for a rain check.
He had told me he was leaving on the 30th but before that date, I totally forgot to set up another outing. By 7.30 pm on Thursday, he called me up. He was inviting me to join him, his brother and his girlfriend and the ex-bf. I wasn't too keen on going out but he told me he was taking the 10pm boat. I agreed to follow them because I realized I wouldn't be out long anway.
It was awkward seeing the ex-bf but fine, I guess. He always wanted to remain friends with me but I didn't want anything to do with him anymore. He was there for about an hour only because his wife (yes, he's married already!) didn't want him to go apparently. She did go to the resto and saw me there. By that time also, he was gone so she just left.
We stayed there until midnight and it was the first time I drank since last October of last year. I have been living quite healthily this year but I also didn't want to be such a killjoy. Anyway we were only drinking light beer. I had such fun laughing and talking and drinking with the group. Their uncle and aunt swung by as well so it was nice. They always liked me from way back when because they thought I was nice and well-mannered. E often tells the ex-bf if you had to marry you should have married C (meaning me). I jokingly retorted I am so glad he didn't. To be honest, I have no regrets breaking up with him. He was not "the one" I was looking for and will never ever be.
I'm glad I went out last Thursday even if I only slept for five hours because I had to go biking in the morning. I didn't let the bf know I was going out so I had no excuse. What I did was to pop a multivitamin before I left to exercise in the morning and it helped. Hanging out with friends is always good for the soul.
