perfect for a date

so let me just start this with me saying yesterday was perfect~

j and i went out for a date and even though i was a bit sick, i still managed to enjoy it. and i would be damned if i didnt write it down here--cause if there's a memory that's needed to be preserved in writing, yesterday would be it.

even though i was burning 39 celsius the other night, i was pretty determined to go out the next day and its a good thing my fever gave me a break--though not after i forced several paracetamols down my poor throat. anyway--moving on.

i dropped by j's place first because we had an appointment in a hospital before we went on for the day. one of his relatives were confined so we decided to stop by for a visit. now im not generally fond of hospitals for several reasons--some understandable and some not, but eitherway, unfortunately since i wasnt feeling very well, all i could do was sit in the corner of the room beside the window to prevent myself from throwing up, which i very much almost did. i recovered though. an hour after, we left.

and then there was that elevator ride on the way down. heh. (..that sounded dirty. it's not.)

aaaanyway, since we were in manila anyway, we took a short walk to harrison plaza. it's a childhood thing. we both had childhood memories in that mall since back when we were kids, its practically the only mall where we can spend some time with our families. it's changed now but the fishpond which we both loved when we were kids was still there. happy happy~

after a nostalgic visit to the fishpond, we finally headed off to moa where we spent the rest of the day. originally we were planning for some sushi but since my body was just recovering from a fever and my sense of taste hadnt fully recovered yet, i decided raw food wouldnt do me much good that day. so instead we went to tokyo tokyo (unlimited rice~!) and had this instead~

the beef was a bit oily so i went and had a cup of dippin dots to remove the taste and we decided to walk around and keep the food down. now i usually dont go into gaming zones but ever since the last summer where my cousin and i found some amusement with playing some of these games, i actually decided to step in one and play until i decided im tired and hungry and ready for one of the main reasons i wanted to go to moa: swensen's ice cream. so let me just---

j's treat. it's so-- omfgdelicious. i want some again. but yeah it's a bit expensive but but but-- it's really worth it. i recommend it to people who have the money and want to indulge with ice cream. ice cream is never a waste of money!

so anyway--let's move on before i start craving for ice cream again. another thing i like about going to moa is their tradition of having a fireworks display every friday and saturday evening. it's at 7pm to anyone who wants to see it and even though it only takes a short while, it's quite lovely to watch. but then again, that's coming from someone who's easily amazed by lights and fireworks.

if anyone's gone to moa, you would know about the huge ferris wheel at the back (yeah, by the sea), they call it moa's eye. im not generally a fan of ferris wheels especially huge ones--not after what happened in enchanted kingdom several years ago, but i decided it's not a bad thing to try again since the cars for the eye are enclosed. it's a bit expensive for a single round but hey, stack it up to experience. it's air conditioned inside! here have a view from the top:

anyway, after the food, fireworks, and the eye, we had nothing else left to do so j and i decided to head back to the back of the mall at the sea wall. every time we go to moa, it's been a habit to end the day just sitting by the wall and looking out at the sea just to talk and spend time together. it's a good practice and a relaxing way to end the day. we usually end up going home late because of this and last night is our latest yet. we left around midnight maybe? or maybe it was almost one in the morning but anyway--

there was almost no ride home left at that time of the night. the one we had left was heading for the general direction of home but it was a new way of going home for us. we were quite tired and fell asleep along the way--and we woke up just in time to miss our drop off. and we found ourselves lost. ahaha~ what we did was get off near a gas station and ask our way back home which we did--eventually. again, stack it up to experience! i got home around 3am and since j had to see me home, he got home later after that. while we were very tired, like, come-home-get-to-bed-and-pass-out tired, it's one of those experiences that i'll keep with me you know?
