TODAY IS THE DAY: SATURDAY!!!!!! My God, today is actually really packed, holy shit. I have these 2 major events going on today: - Hanging out with Rachel at the National Museum. - Setting up my things at the Airbnb later this evening. - Going to a bar/club with Maxine, Meryll, and Ate Cha. I had to wake up early and, even though my spirits still weren't okay from last night, I need to get through this day and make the most out of it. I woke up early and got a good amount of sleep in the morning. Then I commuted to Manila to meet with Rachel. It's been months since we've last met and have known each other for years, I'm glad to actually see them and spend a good chunk of the day with them. We got to meet at around the United Nations MRT station and walked around the National Museum of Natural History. They described some rocks and other geology stuff because they were taking BS Geology and we had fun at the first museum. After going there, we both agreed that we were feeling hungry so we went to SM City Manila to have some late lunch (it was around 2:00 p.m. by then). I'm surprised that they... treated me to lunch. I've been a giver for a long time and I've rarely been treated out/appreciated properly, so it was such a really nice gesture that they offered to buy me food. We both finished our meals and then went back museum-hopping. We stopped by the National Museum of Fine Arts because their outfit was themed for the Spoliarium exhibit. We took a lot more photos in there, which they really liked. Then Rachel started having really bad cramps on their leg and they almost passed out from the pain. I called a security guard and then they had to go home. Thankfully, they seemed okay and got home safe because they got a ride home using Grab. After they got home, that was my cue for my next event for the day: my Airbnb stay and partying with Max, Meryll, and Ate Cha. I tried to move as quick as I can: booking a ride home immediately, preparing my stuff, and getting freshed up once again for the evening. It was a really tight time for me, but I think I moved as fast as I could. I got to the Airbnb and there they were! I was so happy to meet them and was excited for the night. Before partying, we all had dinner at this Persian restaurant along Poblacion and I gotta say, it was really good. The beef kebab is something I'm definitely ordering again in the future. We all had some small talk and then a few conversations about each's love lifes and then we finished dinner. We all got dressed and prepared, then headed out of the Airbnb to The Fun Roof in Poblacion. It was really fun there. We got a lot of alcoholic drinks and our table was good enough. We danced a lot throughout the entire evening and had some time talking amongst ourselves wherever possible. It was too loud inside, though. The music was blasting and we really couldn't hear each other talk clearly. Still, it was fun. We played some card game, got to drink out of a weird achohol ferris wheel drink stand, and got to dance to some songs. Nothing else noteworthy happened, aside from me slipping and almost injuring my ankle. We all returned to the Airbnb for a good night's rest, even though it was 4 a.m. in the following day and that wrapped up my exciting Saturday.
