After 5 months.. an update

Let me just tell you a story about how my day went.

I woke up really early this morning because I have a shift at 6 am, but I found out that my internet service provider deactivated my account for paying my bills late. I was thinking about connecting to my friend's WiFi, but I was hessitant because it's still too early to chat and I don't want to cause any inconvenience even though we're friends.

So I just went out and helped my parents prepare the foods they are going to bring to my grandma's place. I prepared the ingredients and I was assigned to cook 5 kilograms of spaghetti. It's my first time to cook that much and thankfully it turned out good. The day flew by so quickly, and when I was finally able to take a rest, I connected to a piso Wifi and hurriedly checked my Instagram and messenger accounts.

Messages from my High School classmates, many of whom I still keep in touch with, flooded my messenger. It's been 7 months since they've all seen my face, so they asked if I could join them for a get-together. They told me we'll be done and will go home by 10 pm but knowing them, I didn't believe it.

They were persistent to make me come though, so I told them that will go on the condition that there will be no alcoholic beverages and we could have coffee instead. I was adamant about not going so I was trying to make them agree to something I know they wouldn't. I even requested one of them to come over to my house and pick me up with his car. To my surprise, they all agreed about my 'no alcohol' request and one of them even agreed to come and pick me. So who am I to refuse right? Even though I didn't took it seriously, I still prepared myself just in case someone comes to fetch me.

I waited for almost half an hour and my friend really came. I told him I was just trying to test him whether he will really come or not, and simply answered "always keep in mind that when I said I'd come pick you up, I'd come even if it was late." That statement made me realize that it's one of the reasons behind our 15 years of friendship.

Fast forward and we arrived at the other friend's house. Here's a photo of them:

I'm not in this photo because I'm the one who took the picture.

I really appreciate that they always take my words seriously and respects my beliefs. When I arrived, there is no single bottle of liqour around and all we did is talk about our wholesome high school.life over some food and a bottle of coke. We all agreed that we can still have fun even without alcohol and looking back at our memories and mischivousness back then is part of the fun.

Since we all have work tomorrow (or later), we decided to call it a night at 10:30 pm. But we have to grab some cofee first, since they all know how much I love coffee.

We drove to the nearest coffee shop in town that is still open. Good thing, we found one and it's the coffee shop owned by one of our classmates.

Okay, since I'm the glue that holds this group of friends together so I got this large hazelnut macchiato for free (that's how nice they are to me).

We asked the server to take a photo of all of us together and decided to drink it in the car since it's their closing time already.

They all came to drop me off at home like a little kid but it's okay. And that's the end of my day.
