Mismatched Shoes and the Breakfast Club

What is the probability of one coming to work with a pair of mismatched shoes? I don't know but I'm sure it is very very low and I happen to be one of the few careless ones who managed to just do that. Hmmm..

It has been more than a month since I last updated my blog and within that short period of time, a lot of things happened. This revolves around my family, badminton group and of course my Saturday group (also the Breakfast Club). The Saturday group consists of Ten Ten, Toni, Mabs, Abi, Jemai... Josa... and of course, yours truly. Having named them, I'd like to note that others are welcome to join as long as they enjoy our company, like to eat out and are adventurous like us. Also, it would be great if they would appreciate our sense of humor, indecisiveness and the tendency to splurge compulsively. ;)

July 16, 17 and 18 would mark the days when we first went to Baguio together. Although we were not able to stroll around like tourists do, (it was raining and we didn't have enough time) it was all worthwhile. One may find it strange that we spent a lot of time at SM Baguio when it is supposed to be the last thing that we should set our feet on. Of course we ate our hearts out with a lot of food but to me, what makes this trip most remarkable is my ukay-ukay experience, oh thanks to Jemai, I was able to bring home some good finds. :)

We wanted to repeat our Baguio experience and marked the dates August 13 and 14. But CNN forecasted bad weather on those days so we had to resort to Plan B. Plan B happens to be a sleepover at Toni's in Matabungkay. Plan B's objective, according to my friends, was TO GET STEFFY DRUNK. And I consider them friends. :p By the way, on those days, the sun was shinging so brightly.

But the fun must go on. Nighttime. We had some tequilla, vodka and Mudslide which tasted like coffee. The last 2 drinks, I was supposed to share with Ten Ten but she was having an upset stomach so I had to down them myself. Plan B's objective went flawlessly because they got me tipsy for the first time. The experience was new to me and I loved what I was feeling because I could laugh at the smallest of things. I called my special one to share that special moment, and when he answered, he said "Nasa gubat ako". I wasn't sure if I heard it right, but upon hearing that I laughed and laughed. He asked what was wrong, and I asked why in the world was he in the forest. I shared that we had a couple of drinks... Sadly, this didn't make him happy. To this day we still haven't talked... I'm sorry Baby but they are my trusted friends and I'm still the same Stef and I won't change... :(

Going back, how unfortunate that Josa could not go with us. She caught some lung infection that require many weeks of rest and on this day, her resignation has officially taken effect. Oh that girl, my friend who knows me, who always laughs at me, who makes all these sarcastic remarks, the one with whom I share my fondness for Afleet Alex and Lance Armstrong and the smallest of things because I know she's all ears and that she would appreciate them too... My friend who would gladly finish whatever scap of food is left on the table. On this day, I remember her and I hope I can see her sleeping beside me at this hour with her trademark native blanket wrapped all over her body. This is the time when our lunch hour would overlap.

I'm sorry that this has to end on a slightly sad note. But I find reason to smile. My mismatched shoes will no longer feel lost because they are with their rightful pairs now. :)
