Chili's the word.

[feelmypain]

I must really love Chili's to have eaten there twice today. Lunch with my pseudo grandparents Joe & Nikki... and dinner w/my good friends Mae, Reyn, and Giselle. Lunch was nice. Joe & Nikki are spoiling me though! I guess it's okay to be pampered once and a while. lol. They're awesome people. I'm just waiting for the day when they finally decide to adopt me! Haha. As for my good friends, well, I've got nothing but love and praises for them. We hardly see each other but when we do, we tend to make the best of it. AND, we totally did tonight! Mae brought along Sophie, her friend from school. She was really nice. I thought she was Filipina at first that I told her, "Wow, you're one of the few tall Filipinas I've met." Then she's like, "Oh. I'm not Filipina." Oops! lol. Turned out she's mixed. She's like half Cambodian, half Thai. Although she assured me that it wasn't the first time she's mistaken as a Filipina. Phew! Hehe. Anyway, Mae and I were so excited to see and chill w/ Reyn and Giselle (both gay). Giselle (originally named Louie) looks so hot and pretty now. She makes me look bad. Seriously. Mae and I are still getting used to calling him G and refer to him as "she/her." Haha. It just doesn't help when we don't see her often enough. Practice makes perfect, I guess. Haha. Reyn and G are like partners-in-crime. There's never a dull moment with them around. It's guaranteed that you'll have lots of laughs. Giselle was checkin' out practically every guy in sight, especially the waiters. Our waitress noticed it and kinda got in w/the fun eventually. She was telling us that her coworkers are really cute. She sure got big points from Reyn & G when she greeted us saying, "How are you ladies doin' tonight?" Heh. I must say Giselle has a tendency to make you open up about certain things though. She should be a psychologist! We were talking about guys, dating, relationships, stuff like that. I happened to mention Dominic. I wasn't gonna say anything more, but she insisted if anything happened between us. I was like, "Oh, no. We were just flirting w/each other. Like a mutual thing." I did tell her that I miss him. He got promoted and got transferred to the Brea store several months ago :( Then everyone was like, "Auwwweee..." Then she goes, "You like him. Why don't you visit him sometime?" I told her that's not a good idea. Since he left, he's only been back to our store to visit once. But we shared a moment. We hugged and we never hugged before that. I can't help to think that it was like a "goodbye" hug... a "nice to know you" hug. *sighs* Well, enough about that. We took lots of pics tonight! We were on a frenzy, I tell ya. We took pics both in and outside of the restaurant. I guess we just really missed each other THAT much. Hehe. Who knows when we'll se each other again, but seeing some of my good friends tonight really made my day. I love 'em!

I'm just disappointed with my friend Katrina though. We were supposed to see Pirates 2 together today... but she didn't wanna make it to the showtime I wanted. It was around after I had lunch w/Joe & Nikki. That was the best time to go! I was trying my hardest to make time since I had so much things to do today... errands to run. But I swear, I was making time... and all she had to do was give me some consideration, but she chose not to. I clearly told her why I couldn't see it @ a lot later time. I mean, we didn't even have to see the movie. I just wanted to chill w/her for a bit and catch up since I haven't seen her in months! Her excuses were: She was studying... and her boyfriend wanted to come also but he wouldn't be available until around 6pm. Then, she said her boyfriend wanted to see me too. Pffft! Really now! I don't buy it one bit. Why would her bf wanna see me?! Seriously. AND, gosh, does her bf have to go w/her everywhere she goes?! I'm sure she's aware that I don't like the whole third-wheel thing. AND, it's friggin' Friday! She can always study in the weekend! I don't know maybe I'm the one being selfish about everything... Or maybe I'm just trying so hard? If so, why do I even bother trying at all? *sighs*
