As you may know, Lovely is one of my best friends, and I haven't seen her in about two years since she returned to Dipolog, where she used to live. She only came to visit us on our birthdays and to take advantage of her vacation time.
I did not pick her up at the airport which I regret, but though I didn't we decided to meet somewhere else, we headed to Ayala Central Block to meet Jenny and Lou as well. We stopped for a quick snack since she was starving to have a little bit of energy before heading to Lapu-lapu again to look for shoes. The greatest thing is that Lapu-Lapu has a spot called The Outlet where you can get branded and cheaper shoes than at the mall. We weren't expecting the traffic, and we had no idea it was Friday and rush hour, but we nevertheless drove there. We were in the taxi for about an hour and a half and thought it was a bad decision, but we continued anyway.
We eventually made it to the location after navigating the traffic, and we immediately started looking around for a decent bargain and cheap sneakers. I was aware that this location is one I am familiar with, but I just lacked the time to explore it. We looked about and visited other places to look for an outfit after we found the store where she purchase the shoes. We chose to grab dinner since we were famished after spending two hours just looking at different stores and doing some little shopping. I spotted a Tuslob Buwa restaurant when we were looking for a place to eat, but Lovely isn't a fan, so we looked at another location.
She said she was craving for Sinigang and we knew just the place. We came to this establishment that she claims is near and dear to her heart. She stated that this location brings back wonderful memories of when her mother visited her in Cebu. Her mother would frequently request that she bring her to that restaurant since she like all of the dishes they made and the majority of her favorite foods were available there. The restaurant was due to close in an hour and a half when we arrived, yet they still welcomed us and took our orders. We obviously ordered her favorite Sinigang, but we also ordered the Buttered Chicken and two Calamansi juice.
We waited at least 15 minutes for our dinner to be served, and during that time, we talked about our plans for tomorrow with our friends. After finishing our dinner, we prepare to leave the restaurant, with our tummies full; it had been an exhausting day and we are eager to return to my apartment and relax and call it a night.
