just got home a few minutes ago. hayy. don't think i've ever felt so tired in my entire life. i've been out the whole day since 8 am, attending to a million and one things at a time. i could really use some efficient time management here. anyway, went out with my cousin (whom i've just met a few months back lol) and a friend. we just ate out in italliani's (they have the best cheesecake!) in makati and hung out in greenbelt's uhm... plaza? some sort of park there with a fountain that has colorful changing lights ;p i'm such a dunce when it comes to makati landmarks. around 930, some of my cousin's friends joined us for coffee. it was really great hanging out with them since they had so many crazy ideas and told so many stories about growing up in the states and everything :) after a while, they decided to drop by bay walk in roxas boulevard to check out the lova palooza (or something) kissing marathon. hmmm. the event was sponsored by colgate and it aims to break chile's record of having 5,000 couples kiss simultaneously by 12 mn when all the kissing's gonna happen ;p... when we got there a little past 11, the official registered count of couples was way past 10,000 already! whoa. there were literally thousands of people lol.

it was hard to find a parking spot anywhere near the area so we had to park in the westin philippine plaza lot (where my cousin's friends were checked in) and had to walk the (very long) distance to the bay walk. my cousin and his friends then had the crazy idea to go register and "join the fun" as they put it. it was easy for them to say since they were already in pairs: my cousin sancho and his girlfriend yvette, and their friends mike and kim who were also a couple. hmmm, so that leaves me and their friend ryan (who prefers to be called josh though). nyerks. no thank you. they were totally persuading me and when i totally (lol ;p) refused, they couldn't understand why. uhmm... duh? i barely knew the guy (though i do know him just about as long as i do my cousin) and i'm not very much into "kissing friendships". they wouldn't give the issue a rest and i've never been so thankful for the dark so as not to let them see my burning face (*embarassing*). haha. i'm such a maria clara lola as they put it. ( should i be offended? hmm. ehehe)

they couldn't understand what the big deal was since it was just for "ten seconds anyway" (the required duration of the kiss). hrrmmm. nuh-uh. i'm an old, conservative fuddy-duddy... so what? in the end, they gave in (or probably got tired and decided there was no chance i'd give in ;p) so they let me off the hook, and i half-ran half-skipped to the nearest coffee shop to seek solace in a cup of coffee. haha. i was accompanied by ryan/josh since he very well couldn't stay and be a third wheel with all the couples in the bay walk. when i was a bit calmer, i found the whole issue hilarious. never in a million years would i have imagined myself in such. i was even expecting josh/ryan to gloss over it again, but he didn't :) thank god. going home, i got a ride with their driver and josh.. nice guy. from san jose, california :) born and raised there but is a cebuano at heart. ANYWAY. moving on. all in all, the night was fun, a pre-valentine treat even. right now, i can't sleep which is probably from all the coffee or something. hope i'll get up in time for my 9am class tom :D, me being the eternal latecomer. eheh. wish me luck.

happy hearts day, everyone!
