on tour guide assignment

admittedly, i made a lousy job of it.
the day did not follow through the sun that rose at dawn. not only was i late for the volleyball game, but the team lost to competition due having not reached the required number of players on the court.
lunch at l kaisie was a lonely affair. i had california maki (which wedge cut i didn't like) and coke. around that time cece and the broker were also eating; at imay's (wherever that is).
my phone battery has been threatening to die on me the whole morning that i used my mobile phone sparingly; mentioning right at the beginning that i will just kill time browsing around NBS. three hour, a dover thrift classic and a sticker paper later, i went of to take a seat at the lobby and read my smses. i learned that cece won't be available until after 5pm. i texted back that i could wait and wait i did stating that i have to leave for home after the appointed time. right after that, my mobile was no longer of use and was short of asking the woman beside me if i could use her phone to make a call (which i never did and opted to just scout for somebody i know to pass by my post). prompted by my growling stomach, i headed for mcdo at around
520pm before finally hailing a puj going to the terminal. at the terminal however, i had a change of luck. not only jarlene was there, she also volunteered that i use her phone, which i did. so i called up cece and we agreed to meet at chicken deli at lacson street but something told me to go to pepe's at sorrento instead. i suggested the house specialty, the salpicao. for dessert, we had a black sambo (the only gelatin based dessert that i have come to love).
our next stop was the mayfair tiangge to look up some stuff but the traders were already putting away their wares, so to showroom we next went where we picked up some local creations.
i have been promoting that mcdo at lacson has the most extensive collection of mcdo toys. surprise! surprise! the toys on display were no longer there; nor were the display windows where they have been strategically placed.
after a brief stay there, we moved on and went inside the capitol lagoon and watch for a bit the feeding of tilapia and the kids on skateboard strutting their stuff on the ramp.
our last stop was at the city plaza. getting off was unplanned but the road was fenced off from traffic to accommodate the night flea market. it was inconvenient but it allowed us to have a peek of the closed cathedral and meet some fellow trainees.
looking back now, i wished i get to get her around shopping area...maybe some other time.
