08/22/2002 Entry: "Time with Friends"

Spent the whole afternoon with my best friend Shang and her baby, Gavin David. He's really cute. He has his mother's nose, and his dad's eyes. It feels weird that my best friend is so much a mother now. Seems like she doesn't have much time for herself, but she's enjoying it immensely. I tried to carry Gavin the other day, but after a few seconds, I handed him back because I was afraid he'd slip and fall to the ground.

Last night I also went out with my barkada. We ate at this new high-end mall called The Podium. Whenever I'm with them, I feel like we're playing out an episode from Sex And the City. We talk about relationships and heartaches... it's quite fun. I wish we could've stayed there all night talking, but I'm a little paranoid these days because there are a lot of kidnappings and robberies going on in Manila. My parents have advised me not to wander about too far... I can't even walk alone in the mall without feeling scared.

My friends and family have been waiting for me to start cooking. It always takes a few days, even weeks, for me to get used to the kitchen here... we'll see.
