Hello, dear hivers!! Welcome back to MIYA’s blog!! 💕
We had planned to celebrate our friend’s birthday at Bogo Plaza, but since her actual birthday fell on a school day, we decided to move it to our Christmas break. Our meeting place was at 7/11 in San Remigio at 9:30 AM because we wanted to ride a bus instead of a tricycle to save money. The bus fare was only 15 pesos, while the tricycle fare was around 50 pesos or more, so choosing the bus was a smart decision.
When we arrived in Bogo, our first stop was at DIY Store, which was near the plaza. We had to wait for our friend there since she lived close by. While waiting, we walked around the store, looking at random things. My friends bought a few items, but I didn’t buy anything because I didn’t need anything at the moment. When our friend finally arrived, we went down to pay for their things. While waiting at the counter, we saw some toys near the cashier and started playing with them, just having fun like kids.
Our second stop was at J&L Store, where my friends bought more stuff, including school supplies, hair accessories, and gifts. I only bought a 9-pesos hairpin set because there wasn’t really anything I wanted. I would rather spend money on food than on random things.
One of my friends bought a purple umbrella for our birthday celebrant since purple is her favorite color. While looking around, we ran into our science teacher and an old classmate, which was unexpected but fun. After finishing our shopping, we decided to eat lunch since it was almost 12 PM.
We went to Jollibee for lunch. Four of my friends ordered chicken with rice, while two of us ordered spaghetti with chicken. I chose spaghetti because I don’t like eating rice when I’m at Jollibee. One of my friends brought her own rice, which was a great idea. While waiting for our food, we talked and took lots of pictures to remember the moment.
After lunch, we headed to Bogo Plaza for our picnic, but as soon as we arrived, it started raining heavily. We got worried because the grass was wet, and all the tables were occupied. There were also people stranded at the plaza because of the rain. We stayed at the entrance for a while, hoping the rain would stop, but when it didn’t, we looked for another place. Since there was no available space, we ended up having our picnic on the stage beside the plaza, even though people were practicing there. It was so embarrassing, but we had no choice.
We set up our blankets and snacks, and my friend bought drinks for everyone. We started eating while talking and laughing. We also filmed TikTok trends, took pictures, and just enjoyed our time together. It was such a simple yet fun moment.
That day made me realize how important friendship is. We don’t always get to spend time together because of school and other responsibilities (we only got to spend our time after class), but when we do, it reminds me how lucky I am to have them. It’s not about how fancy the place is or how much we spend, it’s about the memories we create together.
Before heading home, we did a TikTok trend called "The Outfit Thingy" because we all wore matching colors based on our favorites. Kresha and I wore green, Kai and Shray wore purple, and Eli and MJ wore pink. It was a small thing, but it made the day even more special and memorable. We took more pictures, had a quick roam around the plaza before catching the bus home.
That day was one of the best days of my life. It reminded me how grateful I am to have such amazing friends. My Six Winx Babies, you guys are like family to me. I hope our friendship lasts forever, like a circle that never ends. No matter what happens in life, I know we will always have memories like this to look back on and cherish.
