More than just coffee…


After dinner the other night, a girlfriend and I decided to transfer to a coffee shop to continue playing catch-up with each other – we actually work in the same company and see each other at least once a week but it’s been a long time since we last had a non-stop, no-holds barred repartee. We were joined by another girlfriend after a while.


Within four hours and 30 minutes…

Someone had to resort to eating out instead of having dinner at home because she couldn’t eat at home because… Basta! Basta di sya makakain sa bahay nila hehe..

Someone introduced her suitor (without the guy knowing he's the suitor) to her friends. That someone is now wondering if she should encourage the suitor to suit her (ansabe???). 

Someone was jealous of a girlfriend for no valid reason at all.


Someone was caught in the politics between an old friend and a new “friend”. 

Buildings were bought and sold.

My salary increased to Php100,000/month.

We went to Australia and our salaries were charged with 40% tax.

New employees were hired and, to someone’s surprise, one of them will be her new boss who will be on board next week (di pa ako ready!!!).

The population grew exponentially and someone had a nosebleed.

A tarsier got stressed, jumped off a tree and bashed its head on the ground.

Someone missed Jollibee and another missed Dakota.

We went to Puerto Galera and cried over a lost friend.

Someone said goodbye and came back after four years to complicate someone else’s life.

Someone got married and someone else cried.

We fell in love, dreamt of settling down, then got our hearts broken. Only to fall back in love again.

It’s amazing how a cup of coffee could go a long way…

And then I saw Starbucks’ logo and saw myself and my girlfriends’ reflections… three sirens coming out at night to sing (chat) their lungs out and live the mysteries of life and love. Easily done over a good cup of coffee J
