i crave!

my friend and i were killing time by burning our phone lines when our topics suddenly switched to food. together, we realized that our palates were in dire need of a stuffed crust pizza, a tall glass of iced tea and a healthy bowl of macaroni salad.

since the advent of feasibilty projects and such, my friends and i were denied the chance to have our almost weekly huddles. with this thought and a nagging desire to munch merrily, we called up all our other friends and organized a trip to the mall nearest us.

a few text messages and some phone calls later, we got news that only another friend was added to the food trip log book. it was just unfortunate that the others had toxic schedules. we were slightly saddened but we kept our mettle---we were going to pig out no matter what!

the triumvirate of us met around three in the afternoon at pizza hut. we were elated to see each other, knowing the fact that the situation was definitely a precursor to a yacking marathon. we sat there not bothering to look at the menu for a good hour---every dirty scheme unearthed, all shady activities given the leeway to stench profusely amongst ourselves. we didn't mind ordering until somebody took notice of our absence of orders. perusing through the menu, we laughed to ourselves. heck, we were so adrenaline-pumped that we slightly failed to consider bringing the apt amount of money!

nevertheless, we asked for a regular-sized pizza and three bottomless glasses. it was just enough to feed our appetite, our wallets not completely dessicated of monetary stuffings. as expected, we did a three-hour gab fest.

we headed off to the arcade because my friend wanted to satiate his first-person shooter game craze. i wasn't in a mood to play so my other friend and i just settled adjacent to our friend and continued to pry into each other's life, thank you. boy, was my friend obsessed! i think he took about five rounds on the thing. when finally he finished, we decided to stroll around the mall.

the place was littered with people. it was not until a small stage with a mammoth banner that read "jolina magdangal" that we knew what the pandemonium was about. our instincts told us to seek refuge inside the department store, quick!

we had peace inside the store. no giggly fans, no rowdy spectators. i bought cheap perfume. it was not a simple act of just buying it. in a way, i wanted to relive a bit of highschool. you see, the perfume was the same one that i used to bathe myself in during my adolescent years. but let's not get too sentimental about this. exhausted, we decided to find a place to exchange more stories. we decided to eat chocolate fudge sundaes at mcdonald's. another forum ensued until our saliva dried up. we capped off the day and headed happily home.

it was one of those days. it was a another good day of bonding.
