29 Candles for Louise
It’s Louise’s birthday today! My friends and I did not open up our barbeque stand today because Louise promised to treat us. I went to Lyndsay’s house because it’s our meeting place. Louise came 15 minutes after I arrived. I was surprised to see Elizabeth driving a Toyota Fortuner! I do not have a car and it was my first time to ride this one. We went to Serendra Bonifacio High Street (Bonifacio Global City in Taguig). Our other friend Josie was already there with her husband and her baby girl. We were so happy to see her again, it’s been a long time since we last saw each other. This was the first time Louise was able to treat us. We were arguing on where to dine, but at last, we settled with Italianni’s Restaurant. We were so hungry, I wasn’t even able to take pictures of what we ordered, hehehe! It’s so embarrassing because we immediately consumed everything on the table! After we finished our meal, a waiter suddenly came out of nowhere and started singing a “happy birthday” song (it was in Spanish), together with other 5 crew members. They have a maracas and a tambourine with them, making the entire “show” a very lively one. We were all shocked with what they did, and we were all laughing. Louise received a small slice of chocolate cake with a matching lighted candle. She blew the candle out and who knows what she wished for. We wanted to have coffee after our meal but we were so full and our stomachs can’t accommodate anything anymore. So we decided to call it a day. On our way home, Louise told us a story that happened to her a couple of months ago. She went to Serendra too, and unfortunately, she got lost going to Quezon City. She remembered driving to nowhere, until she saw a sign saying “South Luzon Expressway” (Quezon City is somewhere in the North). It’s definitely NOT the right way! So she got scared and panicked at the same time, she didn’t know what to do. Luckily, a vendor passed by and she bravely asked for directions. The vendor told her there was a small U-Turn at the end of the road before she could exit the Expressway. What a relief, she said. Elizabeth was quietly smiling and then told us she wasn’t familiar with Taguig either, therefore, we found ourselves lost along the way! The funny thing was we also saw a sign saying “South Luzon Expressway,” therefore, we were lost just like what happened to Louise! Oh my gas! We can’t believe it happened again! We stopped near a store and asked for directions. They said the same thing “there was a small U-Turn at the end of the road.” We were giggling so hard, this could have been the funniest thing that happened to us for a long time. Tonight has been definitely a fun night for all of us.
