Nah, it didn't push through. The planned swim at Loriland with my sis and bro and their families did not happen last October 29th. I opted to cancel it anyway as Grace is reluctant to go ahead with the plans.
Very interesting things happen though. An ex-girlfriend from New York came to visit Manila. Last October 28th, I organized a get together with some of our former officemates. We decided to have dinner at the Prince of Jaipur at The Fort. Ellen Alcantara, Sali Yamamoto with boyfriend Eric, Carole Ong with hubbie Ringo, Hazel Gutierrez with hubbie Rod, and Edgar Alforja all came. The resto put on a belly dancing show during the early parts of the evening. When the clock hits 10pm, it got turned into a R&B bar. They cleared the dine area of the tables and chairs and put on the loud music when the younger crowed starts to fill the place.
But that is not the close to the interesting thing that I am talking about. Of course, I got to chat and get updates on the lives of friends especially Sali whom I haven't seen for more than 10 years. She was even sexier this time around. Amazingly enough, no one has change a bit other the age marks on our faces. We talked of the same things, probably believed in the same principles that we have way back then. Me, Ellen and Sali were the singles in the batch, except for Manny and Malou who did not make it to the get together, both are in blessed singlehood too.
After dinner, everyone has to say good bye to each other. Sali has to run to another party with her boyfriend at the Temple Bar in Greenbelt, Makati. Carole has to be home to her kids with the hubbie. Gee, Carole did not even attempt anymore to dress up for the occassion. Hazel and hubbie have to disappear also. That left me, Edgar and Ellen, my ex with no commitments for the night.
Edgar begged off to stay with us for the rest of the evening, as he feels he needs to give us time to reconnect. So I asked Ellen if she wants to try the hip bar in town where the young and the not so young yuppies in the Metropolis crowd during the weekend. We checked-out the Embassy and it was classy indeed. Except for the dizzying music and the laser lights, I kinda liked the place for its simplicity and lay-out. Very classy in its design with two bars situated on both ends of the open area cum dance floor.
Me and Ellen, got the flavored vodka drinks that sponsored that night. It is an easy drink as it more sweet than vodkadish in taste. Besides, I was drinking vodka sprite all evening at the resto. To make the night even better, Ellen voluntered to try out vodka sprite too. She had a good drink vodka sprite aside from her usual cosmo drink which had probably set the general mood of the night.
I hold her hands while we talked in one corner at the Embassy. After a while, we decide to try the dance floor and I hold her close to me. She didn't resist at all. Hmmp, old feelings aren't always gone. While dancing, I begin to kiss her lips, and she responded back. Before I knew it, french kisses are traded without inhibitions at all.
