Dec 9, 2023

My plan for today was to hang out, play mini golf with Max and Meryll today. We had this day planned as our only outing/trip for December, since all of our other plans fell through. When I woke up, I was late for a bit since the call time was around 11 a.m. and it was already around 10:30, so I rushed in getting ready and booked a ride sometime later because the booking process took so long. When we got there, Max told us that she wasn't okay and that she should get a check-up at a hospital nearby. Meryll and I tag along as we both get there and, as Max gets checked in and tested, Meryll and I separate from her to talk and hang around the hospital. We got Starbucks and then I proceeded to tell her about how my last Monday went. She was surprised, but honestly supported me, and even encouraged me to an extent. It was a pretty fun conversation with her and Max showed up sometime later to tell us that she's not feeling okay and that she won't be able to push through. We all talk about going to SM Megamall instead and I try to persuade Max into not pushing through as she might get weak and pass out, or something else horrible will happen. She decides to just go home instead to prioritize her health as she'll get more tests done tomorrow. So it was just Meryll and I left. We both were unsure if we were going to book a ride to the mall or commute, but I ask her if we can just walk by foot instead since the mall is around 20 minutes away. While walking, we talk about various things in life: our current careers, the romantic situations we are in now and the ones before, our friends' relationships, and so on. There was a time where we had stumbled a small place on a bridge that had a fountain and some seats, and we talked about the romantic lives of others and other things. I just looked up at the buildings and found the situation nice. When we got to the mall, both of us just had a fun time walking together. We got to Timezone and I taught her how to play Wangan Midnight and how to manuever my manual transmission car. We then bought boba tea and I gossiped to her about my new crush at the company and we both laughed at it. We also got dinner and ate together, then watched The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. She remarked about how much I react when watching a movie but it was fun. By the time the movie was over, my phone's battery had died and we both had problems trying to book a ride home. But we both booked and left at relatively the same time and we both had fun all day.
