twas her brother's natal day today. they went to a mxt @ megamall, such a haven for the famished and quenched.

the goddess met up with her knight and with a steel stallion for hire, they went to the pseudo-paradise of dvd collectors (pirated at that) in the makati district. after a hefty buy, off they went to a huge edifice called megamall - another paradise for wandering souls who love to window shop and splurge. they tried to entertain themselves by pretending to be kids, playing those gadgets that teaches you how to play a percussion. afterwhich, she bought a card and a boquet. she filled out the card addressed to the man who had been both a father and a mother for her since her mother left.

it is mother's day tomorrow, and yes she did give her father a card for mother's day. to thank him for raising her up alone. she handed the flowers and the card very nonchalantly, as if its something very mundane. yes she grew up in a home where expression of emotion is not always encouraged. but she is hoping to change that now.

after feasting on such a bounty, her knight decided to retire to his castle, while she and her kins (father, brother and cousin) decided to take a stroll. she wanted more of these times. but times are hard. they are the main reason she wanted to have a steel stallion but this is something she cannot have at the moment. nonetheless, she is grateful for the time she is able to provide for them and dine them out.

twas already 20 past 3 when they bade her goodbye. she looked at them, wanting to give them each a hug but hesitated and finally decided not to. she looked at them pensively as they walk away, thinking, wishing that she could be a little girl once again, so she could sleep comfortably at her dad's shoulder while he carries her home.
