update, update.

carlo and i spent most of yesterday afternoon trying not to get wet from the rain while going from one place to another in greenbelt. at one point, we went into greenbelt 1 and browsed around national bookstore. he saw a grade school notebook with astroboy on the cover; he said he'd like to buy it, and he did.

carlo told me how the number 23 is considered a mystical number. he said the maya indians believed that the world was created on the 23rd day, while the jews believe that it will end on the 23rd. he said that, coincidentally, a lot of things happen to him happened on the 23rd; just recently, he was given a job offer on the 23rd of last month.

"i think i'm becoming superstitious," he added. "i think something's going to happen whenever i see 23."

later i asked him when is his birthday again. he said it's on august 23.

cheri was texting me even while i was still in greenbelt, asking where i was. she was in ortigas with bench and they'll be having dinner with jason. i was undecided on whether i should go to ortigas or go home immediately. at the last minute, i decided i'll go to ortigas and join them.

it felt kind of strange. i'm in that mall in ortigas every week because of my other job, and it's rare that i'm there because of other reasons. it felt refreshing. and the dinner was fun with all the friendly banter and people watching.
