Today, I was humbled by the presence of the great potentate. She was scanning books on sale in Powerbooks when Leidy nudged me by the elbow and whispered, Si Jessica Zafra ba yan? (Is that Jessica Zafra?)”

I leaned closer to check this woman in a light denim jacket out. The first thing I noticed was her dangling earring. And I assured myself that it is Ms. Zafra. All of a sudden, I’m reduced to a babbling idiot.

I begged to my friends if we could stay for a while and enjoy her presence. Maybe if I breathe the same air she does for a few minutes, some of her talents will transfer to me…

I loved window-shopping with my friends. What made it fun was Leidy’s presence. She was a mother, a fashion consultant and a friend rolled into one. We couldn’t choose a dress without her seal of approval.

The highlight of my day, however, was when we were trying maximizers on sale. It was my first time to try one of those, so the first time I saw myself, my jaw dropped.

My, they grow up so fast when nobody’s looking.

I called to my friends to check my bra and me out, and they were shocked.

Shayn said they resemble water balloons. Which led to several prodding and inspection.

Then when Kathy tried one herself, this led to comparisons on who had a bigger…

Heart.

It was a crazy day. We were like college girls with a camera on the loose in the mall. We took pictures like we were tourists. People were staring when we took our pictures with Hello Kitty and Jollibee, but we couldn’t care less. We were on a rampage.

I’ll upload some of those pictures as soon as I find the cable. My father will kill me if he discovers that I lost it.

I’m crossing my fingers.

See, I’m not the only one with wrong send deficiency.

Pam sent a wrong message to her crush, who doesn’t even know her.

Hehe. I wonder what’s going on with his mind? I mean, weird girls suddenly texts him about try-outs and then inviting him to a party. Is he used to this? Or he still freaks out.

It’s amazing how two grown women can be reduced to giggling schoolgirls by fine specimen of a man.

Now I know why Shayn is so fixated with the stars. She has a very good view from the rooftop of their house. Her pets all had weird names. And their doors are connected in a very extraordinary way.

Look out, Antipolo, there’s another Hogwarts in Sta. Mesa.

I am going to wear that slacks in our graduation. COme hell or high water, nobody's stopping me...
