"This city is unfamiliar to me."
That's the first thing that came to mind when I was given a direction to meet up in this urban place I rarely go to. Normally, where elites go. Which I don't really belong......
Unfortunately, t'was a dark gloomy day and I'm expecting a heavy rainfall. Every time that's the kind of weather I always make sure I put on boy clothes, I just can't wear a dress. That'd be silly. Anyway, the agenda of the day was to meet up an old college friend who's asking to do a project/else somehow hiring for somebody else to do a creative job for a company she's currently employed in.
Luckily, I got to team up with this guy I've known several years back. We never really hangout much but I remember we met at our juvenile and awkward-self period, then one time we got into doing collabs with his art, recalled bumping into him on a random unusual time & place and by then the most recent was talking abt heartaches of life what nots, getting perfectly nonchalant the same way.
There were a lot of spaces in between, it took longer years to encounter this person again.
Anyway, it's good to see people from the earlier days doing what they really love, getting consumed by it and they turn out amazing. He was kind of that, probably one of the ones I could point out that would definitely inspire the start-up dreamers. A by-product of passion, yup. I really find it worthy hanging out with the doers.
After the meeting we roamed around, took several maarte pictures and got ourselves peach mango pies, cheapest best treat you can get and it'll make you happy. He reached out to give me two just because.
While waiting for uber, we got a little bored so we sang. Huh, funny I always sing along with people and it's not awkward at all.
It took the uber driver a while to fetch us due to the weather and traffic, he was super apologetic that it touched us both in a way. I'm about to tell you a story of how was this the nicest part of the day.
I felt a bit full and I haven't eaten the other pie so I shared it with the uber driver and we kind of booked the wrong place so we had to reset the meter and gave him the fair fare.
The driver literally teared up!!!!!!!!1!!! :(
And said, "Hindi pa ko nakakakuha ng pasaherong katulad niyo, halos lahat mababa lang tingin ng mga tao saken lalo na dito sa BGC."
I was crushed in a way. I had to hold my emotions there I don't want to have a dramatic convo with a stranger but it did hit me. Ugh. Sucks that people have to go through the hierarchy shit. Finally, the uber driver was super into us that he was playing Cupid. T'was cute.
Anyway, the day went well.
We got back to Cavite and end up having dinner at Jollibee again.
Basically, t'was a Jollibee kind of day.
....it felt okay. :)
