It was December 13, 2008, when I met the girl who has been my text mate for the past 2 weeks. I already seen her in Friendster, so physically I have an idea how she looks like, but to see her personally makes me feel nervous.Actually, I didn't ask her to go out with me, it was just an agreement for our "Pustahan" - whoever win the match between Manny Pacquiao and Dela Hoya will treat the winner out..(which I suggested to her); and luckily, I won.
We agreed to eat out at Paborito Ihaw Ihaw located in Plaridel, Bulacan. I waited for her outside their office, around 5 in the afternoon. In fact, her working place is just near our house, a tricycle ride will do. While on the ride, I texted her, "Papunta na ko dyan" but she did not reply.
After 5 minutes, I reached her office and waited outside the company's gate.I texted her again, "Dito na ko sa labas" and at last she replied, "Tuloy?". I said, "Oo nman,ayaw mo na ba?" and "Ok", she answered.
It was around 5:15 pm when I saw her coming out of the gate. She was wearing dark green tops and skinny maong jeans. Since I already saw her pix on friendster, I didn't find it hard to recognize her. I then approached her and said, "Saan ba tayo sasakay?", where in fact tricycles are just by our side..huuuh I don't know what to say coz I am too nervous.
While we're on the ride, I talked to her, asked some info about herself and her work. Little by little I feel comfortable until we reach Pulilan Public Market. From there, we rode again but by this time in a jeepney to go to Paborito. But before we ride, she was looking around as if waiting for someone but afterwards we then ride on the jeep. Hmmm..I don't know who is she waiting for..hehehe.. Again, while on the ride, we talked some things regarding us, our work and hers, her family,what she always do and a lot more. I also told her it was my first time to eat in that place so I am quite curious.
It was around 6pm when we arrived. We immediately ordered as we entered. She said what I want and I said, "Heto chicken" but she refused and said, "Puro na lang chicken" so we changed and ordered "Isaw-isaw". She told me street foods are her favorites..heheh!
While eating, we continued talking about our work and hers, what I usually do and hers and other getting to know each other talks. I feel at ease now talking with her unlike the past minutes. But I was surprised when she dropped the "isaw-isaw" she was eating..hehe! She told me ganun lang sya kumain, very messy and I said it's ok. In fact, natuwa pa nga ako sa kanya because she is true of herself.
After eating, I sent video of Moymoy Palaboy to her cellphone because she said she haven't yet watch it. I saw a smile on her face while watching the video clip.
At around 7 pm she asked me to go. We left Paborito and rode back to Plaridel. Again, while on the ride, we talked again each personal stories. She told me as a nurse she had trained in different hospitals but the hardest was in the mental institution. I attentively listened to her other interesting stories until we reach Plaridel.
While waiting for jeepney going to Baliuag, I asked her if pede ko sya ihatid but she refused so I did not insist anymore. Afterwards, two street children came to us and begged for some money. One child said to her, "Ate ang ganda mo, boyfriend mo po?". She uttered nothing. I felt ashame to her because napagkamalan pa kong bf..heheh!
After a few minutes, a jeep going Baliuag High way came and we rode. When we reached Pulilan, I told her, "Pano bababa na ko, ingat!" and she said ok. I rode off the jeep and left her in the jeep. But if she let me na ihatid sya, I am willing to do but I think it's her decision so I should respect that.
