To Heck With Beaches

The Bestfriend is going to Pagudpud in Ilocos this coming Thursday for a company team building. It’s so much that I gave up going there early last month just because he didn’t wanna go for the reason of being too far. I told Resty, a friend who’s based there and who’s supposed to be our host, that we’d just go visit some other time. I contemplated in going there alone, but I really haven’t travelled that far alone.

And now I’m kinda mad that The Bestfriend who didn’t wanna go there is now actually going there. Without me.

Bans, a nurse friend who I went to Nasugbu with last month, is also going out-of-town next week - to Zambales with her other group of friends. Ack! And I’m stuck here in Manila with the Domination IV and the Pulp Summer Slam to indulge in.

To my disappointment about the current state of my summer, I asked Gerald – who was online on Facebook and whom I went “alay lakad” with last Holy Week – if he wanted to go with me to Domination at the SMX. I originally planned on going alone. But with the realization that my friends are going to have fun with their other friends, I know I need company.

Gerald immediately said yes, and added that his cousin Kenneth and friend Dan plus another Kenneth who I also knew wanted to go to the event, too. His cousin Kenneth and Dan were also with us during the “alay lakad” and I must say his cousin was cute. Not the usual vain cute, though. He’s the good boy, clean cut type that your mother would love.

So I already have more than a company for Saturday. Now I need to find a shirt to wear.

To heck with beaches.
