SATURDAY

My hon had lunch at my house, I went to the office while he took a nap in our couch. We then had dinner at my house after my dad bought us halo-halo at Razon’s.

After dinner, Bong and Ria, our doubledatemates invited us for some videoke at their house in Pateros. We’re all in a cheap budget.

t was my hon’s first day to practice his driving skills legally! Yes, at night time. He just got his student driver’s license and we’re not inside the cemetery! He drove from my house to his house.

At around 9pm, Bong and Ria were looking for us. Since we were at my hon’s house, we decided to just meet up at Station 168 in Morato. Jinggs had more time to practice Cubao, P. Tuazon, part of Katipunan, and Santolan.

It was such an experience. He was confident, not nervous. I was scared as hell. My left hand was glued to the handbrake, my right hand to the handle above my door. We almost being sandwiched between a barrier and a van. There were times he got too close at the right side to a parked van. What’s with vans anyway?

He is actually a fast learner and I was so proud of him when we got to Starbucks Morato to park at 168. The street was closed so we had to squeeze our way to their improvised road which fits almost exactly the width of a car which turns abruptly to the left then right. Whew! He’s good!

We safely got to Station 168 where we met up with Bong and Ria then we went to Music Match along Tomas Morato. I drove my car that time.

It was a cool (temperature-wise) place so we just lounged. We were in the wait list, so we just read some mags while the aircon and the fans cool us down. We were actually quite hesitant to spend money for videoke. Fortunately, after around 30 minutes, there’s still no room and we got hungry, so we decided to leave. Hahaha, we just hung out there for the aircon!!! We then headed to Mister Kabab along West Ave, had cheap but good food and stayed there until probably 1:30am.

My hon drove from Mister Kabab back to 168 while Bong and Ria hitched with us. I’m not sure if they were as nervous as I was, but we all just had fun. Jinggs probably got confused with Bong and I telling him instructions. There were still a few points he forgot but I was glad we got to 168 safely.

For the whole evening’s drive, I gave him a B+.
