I'm here at the restaurant. Misty also is already here.
"Hey, Misty."
"Hiiiii!"
We hug each other.
"I already ordered. I was too hungry to wait for you. Madami akong ginawa sa salon kaninang umaga. All girls are into curly hair right now, so all I did was to curl, curl and curl. Nakakapagod."
"Oh, okay lang yan. Ano inorder mo?"
"Season salad with peanuts."
"Starving yourself, again?"
"Not everyone can burn calories."
"Haha! Fair enough!"
"The waiter's here. You should order."
'What will I have for lunch?'
Aha, my favorite thing! Pasta Bolognese.
"Yung waiter ay napakacute, diba?"
"Misty, please! Not again!"
"Not what again?"
"Setting me up with random guys."
"Oh, di ko naman siya iseset up sayo."
"Wala ka bang boyfriend?"
"Not any more! I broke up with that nerd once and for all. Nobody's gonna get jealous at me for no apparent reason. So, we are now single together, bestie! Dapat tayong maghanap!"
"Hahaha! That's sounds fun."
"Oh, trust me, it's gonna be! How about sa Sabado ng gabi?"
"Hey, di ko alam..."
"We dress up, and go out! Hit the town! Dance! Meet people!"
"Oh, I keep meeting people, but..."
"Criminals?"
"Haha, criminals, suspects, attorneys...."
"Maybe it's a karma -- you spend so much time chasing bad guys, now they are the only ones chasing you. Maybe you should chase after a good guy for once."
"There's actually some logic there..."
"So, I can be a detective too?"
"Sure you can!"
"No, seriously, let's party on Saturday!"
'What do I answer?'
"Yes! I like that. I miss hanging out with you! Plus, I have this Sunday off."
"Bestie, I have one more demand."
"Ano?"
"I get to do your hair for the night. I don't get to work with hair like yours often!"
"Wow, thanks you always make me feel better."
"You know what else will make you feel better?"
"Ano?"
"Cake!"
"All right, let's get cake. Paano ako makaka-hindi diyan haha."
'What cake do I like?'
Chocolate cake.
"Let's have chocolate, we only live once!"
"I'm having the same, thanks. Now this is a perfect moment for a selfie!"
"If you insist."
We use her cellphone and do selfies.
"Saan mo gusto kong ipost ito? Sa f*******: o i********:?"
'Saan kaya maganda?'
"Hmm, sa i********: nalang."
"All right, so, #bbfs, #lunchbreak, #eatingcake, #singletogether!"
"Well, Misty thank you for the awesome lunch break. I should go back now."
"Babalik na din ako sa salon. Get ready for an unforgettable night out with the queen of salsa! That would be me of course! See ya on Saturday!"
"Haha, I love it when you act all crazy! See you! Bye!"
