McDonald's Katipunan has suddenly become one of my favorite places on the planet.

Today, at the summons of "Prime Minister" Debbi Baybay, I drove to Katipunan with Christine to go to McDo. There was supposed to be an "LnK thing" that day. So fine. I dropped her off when we saw Big Pao, I drove back to Ateneo and parked there for free, then I walked back. Upon arrival, I note there were only 4 of them: Chimoms, Perry, Big Pao, RaPao... Yun lang! Waah.

So fine. We chill. At one point, I realize I left my phone in the car, and hike back across Katipunan to retrieve it. I did note Missy lounging at the Shakey's smoking area with friends, and exchanged greetings.

Carla, Kat, Honeypie and Chreesy catch up with us. The stories continue. Apparently, something happened the day before that Carla wasn't quite telling me. Must ask Sanndra. Okay, good that she's learning the finer points of being "secret-keeper". Yey.

As they left, it was down to me, RaPao and Chimoms, sharing stories over McDonald's French fries and apple pie. Sharing stories about high school memories. Wehehehe. It's something, considering that these two are now high school seniors and the "seniors' syndrome" has probably started kicking in.

More notable faces emerge: best friend James and his girlfriend Hannah pop themselves on the table nearby, and at this point, I start to dominate the discussions, in a sort of Jay Leno/David Letterman type way. And I must say, it's really fun! Especially since James had his own share of, erm, "ammunition" to play with when we were sort of exchanging funny anecdotes on each other.

Probably the main reason he's my best friend: we can chat so openly with each other, in front of everybody else, and not care what others think, and I mean, really not care. I was already cracking jokes in a voice loud enough for more than half the restaurant to hear, and we were just having a good laugh. And to top it off: it was me doing most of the "slinging"; he hardly ever brought up anything "damaging" to me, but I was the one who called up the old "James looks like Tarzan" joke again.

I'd go on rattle more people I saw there, but it'd be needless name-dropping. Haha.

The evening closed out with Chimoms and me playing FIFA, and then catching up with brother Roel at KFC with donuts. Wehehehe. A good day all in all.

Oh yeah, somebody remind me that my advisement is at September 17, 8:30.

And please pray for my brother. He wants to join MTV Supahstar. Wow.
