Met up with Mae Anne last night at Starbucks Morato and ended up in The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. This is what happened: She sent me an SMS inviting me for coffee, something that has become a habit for us when we're undergoing or have undergone a particularly low point in our lives. Since I've just picked up from a "I don't want to work anymore" and "I don't want to be with gay vocalists anymore" episodes, I excitedly said yes to her invite. As usual, prompt Hailie arrived before Mae Anne (oh, 'wag ka na umangal Marie Ann...kailan ka nauna sa'kin aber? Haha! Peace!). I waited in Starbucks for 15 minutes in all my tube dress glory. Then Mae Anne finally arrives, with a, "Ano ba hinid kape dito?" To which I answered, "Err, non-caffeine frappe?" And my best friend says that she still gets headaches from drinking such concoctions. Okay. So I suggested that we troop over to my favorite coffee place (Coffee Bean)...na nakakahiya kasi the guard at Starbucks pa nmana was smiling at me and struck a samll conversation pa...tapos hindi din pala kami 'dun magse-stay! Haha! ^^

And so Coffee Bean it was. Just like all of my rendezvous with this college best friend, there were a lot of talikng, and laughing, and clearing of my thoughts. Always, always, mae manages to keep blurry things in clear perspective. Sigh, thanks my dear! And the highlight of the night was...Alyssa Alano. You might ask, "Who the heck is Alyssa Alano?!" Okay, let me share...
