After a month of planning, Clark (as in Clark, Pampanga) has finally met my best friend Monette. It was a post – birthday celebration for her, as she just turned 25 last July. So I took her to Clark last Sunday afternoon (3 August 2008) – believe it or not, Nosh and I prepared and itinerary just to make sure we have a back up plan and that we would know where to go.
We took her to Rumpa’s – they have the best barbecue steak there. Nosh and Monette ended up sharing the steak. The serving’s just always so…bloating. I ordered chicken cordon bleu and after about 45 minutes, swore to not eat anymore chicken for the entire month. After lunch, I finally divulged my biggest accomplishment (so far) – that I have stopped smoking. Monette was thrilled and said that she might also just do the same thing – she’s thinking when.
We were supposed to go to Razon’s for a good old glass of halo-halo, but deemed ourselves just too ‘full,’ so we went to Duty Free (Puregold) to do the groceries. And just like what we’d always expect from ourselves everytime we go there – we suffered from ‘option paralysis’ – there are just so many choices, we don’t know what to put our hands on.
At 6:30 pm, we were home. The rain started to get really mean, so we opted to rest at home for a few hours. It was great to know that two of the most important women in my life – my wife and my best friend – have so much more in common (aside from me) – they share the love for cooking (well, according to Monette, she tries to), they both love watching animé (Monette discovered this after seeing a book that I gave Nosh about a year ago (The Art of Full Metal Alchemist). It’s just comforting to know that there is another person on Earth who shares the same interest with Nosh.
When the rain subsided, we went to Subdelicious – this cozy bar and restaurant about 15 minutes away from Nosh’ house. We had a round of San Mig Light and nachos and videoke (of course). We then headed to Starbucks for a cuppa joe…after all, Monette still has work the next day and would need to look…normal.
Sunday was beyond amazing. Hope all Sundays will be just like it.
