unexpected

i haven't been to cebu for so long already. the last time i was there was last year. i just arrived this morning. a lot of things happened while i was there.

saturday: i went to mayee's place and slept whole morning. by afternoon we had our lunch with our cousin, philander. then we had our nails done. lester arrived and brought me some boxes for my books (i have to get it from my old boarding house). mayee suggested that lester help me out.. hahaha.. that was a good decision. so lester helped me pack my books and carried it to my friend's place. agenda #1 done!

sunday: i visited my mandaue 1st family. i missed them so much. they invited me for lunch. i saw two old friends of mine. rio and jay - they are now together :) which is good but their relationship is against all odds.

i volunteered to encode the stake primary calendar of activities. i saw my x-bf's dad. i was caught off guard when i saw him and i can see that he too was surprised to see me. so we exchanged our hi-hellos. we had a lil chitchat. he congratulated me for passing the nursing board. and then i got back to encoding the calendar of activities. when i went out to visit the ladies room i spotted sister sy. we again had a lil chitchat. and then i saw a familiar silhouette. i can't see clearly coz i didn't have my glasses on. and then i heard her voice. she shouted my name in a soft excited manner.. 'kristelle!!!! kamusta ka na?' yes, it was my x-bf's mom. and then she came over me and gave me a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. she said she misses me at their home. because back then i visit their place every once in a while. either for lunch, dinner, fhe, or just hanging out. i missed her too.. sooo much.. again we had a short conversation because she's still attending a meeting.

so i get back to encoding. printed it. and went to mingle with the mandaue single adults. and then we heard a knock on the door. it was sis. heidi. she told me to go have a talk with her. and then just found out that she's going to the sacrament hall, which is full of relief society from pajo ward (again my x-bf's ward) and then i saw sister uy. she asked me to sit beside her. and then it begun. i was interrogated by everyone. they shared their opinions. i was surprised by how much they liked me. i thought they find me 'suplada' or something. i learned lots of new things because of sis. uy. here's our conversation...

sis. uy: ano ba kasi talaga nangyari sa inyo?
me: hmm.. di ko po alam e.. (ngiti kunwari.. para di obvious na nasasaktan)
sis. heidi: onga. ano ba nangyari? nagkaiba lang naman ung plans niyo. pwede naman pag-usapan un. ngayon may gf na siya. im sure wala sa plano niya un.
sis uy: ewan ko ba sa anak ko. pinagsabihan ko nga siya.
sis. heidi: (lookin at me) wala ka namang kasalanan sa kanya. hindi lang talaga kayo nagkasundo sa mga plano.
sis uy: oo, mabait yan si kristelle.
me: (trying to change the topic) sis. uy, gusto ko po magtanong bout sa macau. san po kayo nakakuha ng murang ticket?
sis. uy: ay punta ka sa philippineairlines.com...
sis. heidi: o di kaya try mo din ungcebu pacific..
sis. uy: sama ka na lang samin!
me: ai ok lang po. baka pupunta din kami ni mama dun e.
sis heidi: sige na!! sama ka na sa kanila!! bonding kayo! future mother-in-law mo na yan e. gustong gusto ka nila.
sis uy and everyone in the sacrament hall: hahahahaha.. (nag tawanan sila lahat. and then i realized na nakikinig pala lahat sa pinag uusapan namin.)
sis uy: pano mo nga pala nalaman na pupunta kami ng macau?
me: kasi sabi po sakin ni jared nung nag congratulate xa sakin nung pumasa ako. (sister uy tinignan c sis heidi at nakasmile)
sis heidi: so alam niya pala updates sayo. meaning interesado pa rin siya.
sis uy: (trying to hide a smile)
me: hmmm.. ewan ko po dun.. may gf naman siya..
sis uy: ikaw ung gusto namin eh..
sis uy: kristelle, binigay ba jared ung sitti na tickets sau?
me: hindi po.
sis uy: ganun? akala ko bibigay niya sau kasi alam ko gusto mo si sitti..
me: hmmm.. ok..
sis uy: (stood up and addressed everyone in the hall) diba gusto niyo magkabalikan sila ng anak ko?
everyone: OO! sabay ngiti
sis duero: oo. di natin alam ang panahon.. baka may 2nd chance pa kayo.. tignan mo si sis. heidi di niya inakala na sila pala ni pres. fajardo magkakatuluyan.. may chance pa yan.
sis heidi: oo nga naman. pero alam ko hurting ka pa ngayon.. (talking to sis uy) hurting pa rin siya ngayon noh?
sis uy: oo..
me: hmmm...

bro. uy entered the hall.. boy was i glad.. i can't stand it any longer.. i was teary eyed but i concealed it so that they won't notice. he waved at me and said hi..

sis uy: o kristelle sama ka sa bahay ngayon.. dun tayo dinner..
me: ok lang po sis uy.. sabay po kami ni mayee mag dinner ngayon e..
sis uy: ahh.. cge2.. una na muna kami sayo ha.. and then she gave me a comforting smile which reminded me of my past..
me: cge po..

after that gruesome interrogation i was not myself.. i kept on reminiscing the old times.. i wasn't focused with the fireside.. i can barely hear them.. i was lost in my thoughts.. flashbacks..


monday: i went to visit my alma matter, cdu, to get my oath certificate. then i went to sm. kuya roy introduced me to his friend. daniel perez. we went bowling, had dinner and visited top.. the view was great.. i have always love anything that is overlooking.. unexpextedly for me it sort of became a group date. i thought he was just going to introduce me and have a lil talk and then we're done. but no. they had a plan.. oh well.. i can't do anything about it anymore.. i had fun.. but the guy wasn't my type.. he was nice but im just not into him..

tuesday: i transferred to lor's place. im staying there for the night. we went to prc and processed our PNA papers.. went back to lor's place and watched 'silence of the lambs' it was a good watch.. we had dinner together and unexpectedly decided to go watch a tagalog movie.. i miss you like crazy.. after dinner we went directly to ayala. luckily for us. we got there just right on time.. the movie made me cry so hard.. it was like my story.. i was mia and he was allan.. and everything falls into place.. sigh....

wednesday: started my day early. went to prc. i was so happy to find out that it'll just be quick because we already started processing the previous day only to find out that they need a 2010 cedula.. dannggg!! so instead of me smiling i found myself frowning.. i have to get a new cedula at the city hall and back to prc.. so hot outside.. tsktsk.. anyway, i finished before lunch.. but i was pissed because i could've finished in less than an hour.. got a pretty decent rating during the board exam.. ^_^

in the afternoon we went to ayala and bought myself some beauty supplies.. loreal is my bff :) window shopping, dinner at mcdo and then back home.. i was running low on cash.. glad my charm worked with the ship's crew. i didnt have to pay for a porter.. hahaha... thank u kind young men.. i will forever be in debt.. :) sis. dela cruz sent me a txt msg telling me that she's on board and that its her first time to leyte. so i went to her cot and we had a lil chat. she asked me if i could help her with her travel going to tacloban. so i volunteered to be her guide even just for a few minutes. i always have a hard time falling asleep on anything that's moving.. so.. i called a friend of mine and we talked until the signal is almost out.. it helped me sleep..

and when i woke up im already in ormoc.. :) so many unexpected things happened while i was in cebu.. some good.. some bad..
