Wooing her Mother

Today, I went out with Kim and Paolo. At first, we were supposed to meet and watch a movie in Greenhills... but then I had money issues.

I went out without money! *gasp* Because at the back of my head, I knew there were a lot of ATM machines ready to puke money. And then suddenly, BPI thought it would be nice to put ALL of their ATM machines in Greenhills in offline mode.

Eh di siyempre wala akong pera! This crippled the group and we resorted to just hanging out in Makati.

One of the perks in Makati was that there are TONS of ATM machines. Thank God those corrupt Ayalas decided to keep their customers happy by giving them money first and then giving it to the Ayalas when they buy.

Another was that we were able to watch Fantastic Four~~ walang ganyan sa Greenhills!

But besides that, I reminisced with Kim about the 'good ol days'... I mean for godssakes, I've known her since GRADE 'freaking' ONE! And then I kept mentioning to her how her mother would always be anxious whenever I'd ask Kim to go out with me. And then sleepovers were murder. Hell, it was bloodshed!

Whenever I had convinced Kim's mom to let Kim sleep at our home, I would give myself a nice pat in the back~~ ok, so this only happened once. But give me credit!

I spent the entire two weeks asking her mom on the phone, in school, everywhere to let Kim stay at our place and assure her that it's not a hassle for us.

While eating early dinner, I asked Kim if I had successfully wooed her mom into believing that I can be trusted and not a bad influence to her daughter. Kim had said that it would probably be around high school to college.

Man! Her mom is tough to court! I spent almost a decade doing that! But now I'm glad that the mom of my best friend believes that I can be trusted! Grabe talaga, kakaiba!

But you know, I really love my best friend and would do anything for her.

Ok, now I'm sounding weird,,, which brings me back to those days when I'd hang out at her place during summer and borrow notes for Japanese classes.

Her maid once mentioned that if I were a guy, Kim and I would probably be together or something.

Now what kind of **** is that?! Must've hit her head one too many times on the cupboards, eh?

Isn't that what best friends are supposed to be? Hanging out all the time? Especially now that we're not school mates anymore and we don't have enough opportunities to meet and have fun.
