100% to Be Okay

I woke up today to no notifications, no one messaging me, nothing important going on. It's a quiet Saturday and I just feel like being in bed all day. I also don't feel okay, so, for the most part, I just slept in today.

That was until the afternoon when I randomly decided to go out so that my spirits could be lifted. I went to BGC High Street first and tried to get my Timezone card replaced. I gave away my old Timezone Gold card to someone and it's been a while since I've had a new card again, plus my account's tickets were all gone. Thankfully, the whole process of getting a new card was simple and I only had to pay 100 Pesos for a replacement. I also added 150 Pesos worth of extra Timezone credits to spend and I waited for a seat at the Wangan Midnight arcade cabinets.

Unfortunately, the people who were playing didn't really give up their seats and they took a long time. I had waited around 30 minutes or so at this point, and that was when I remembered Kai and her booth at UP Diliman. Since I had nothing better to do in BGC, I just decided to meet Kai at Gyud Food inside the UP Diliman campus. The commute there was pretty long and I was preparing a playlist for Belle to listen to, but all in all, it was an okay ride.

I eventually got there and met Kai along with her boyfriend. I bought a few cookies from her and I really liked the matcha cookies, although it didn't help me because I felt dehydrated by the time I arrived there. I just kept getting drinks for me and Kai and sat next to her for a bit. It was nice to visit Gyud Food, although there wasn't much left to do aside from talking to Kai and idly chatting with her boyfriend as well. The time passed by quickly. Kai read my palm and told me that I wouldn't be married in my life and that I would only get 2 long-term girlfriends in my life, which mildly shocked me but I appreciated her insight.

After a bit, I asked Kai when she would be packing up and then she started packing up soon after. I helped her a bit and also helped with carrying the oven + a few other things. It was surprisingly a lot but I was happy to have helped Kai and her boyfriend. They both got into a Grab car and I bid them farewell. I went back to BGC so I could finally eat and tried to look for Premier.

The trip back was kind of lonely, but it is what it is. Premier was already closed by the time I got there so I settled in at a Starbucks for a while to recharge my devices. I then took a ride to the next Premier restaurant, one that was open for 24 hours and my story continued until the next day.
