Feb 1, 2026

For Sunday, I actually didn't do much and I got some rest in the morning. But someone messaged me in the morning and then they replied to me a bit. After that, I watched them play some AC: Odyssey, but that was mostly it for a while. They eventually left to get some rest and I went on my day like normal.

After a while, Loy calls me and asks if I'm down to hang out and I immediately say yes. I got ready and he got his car here and we went off to BGC for the day. It's been a while since we hung out, but we mostly catch up in the car. He tells me the stuff he's been doing and, surprisingly, also asks what's up and opens a space for me to talk, too. Which was super nice because I haven't expressed myself to a person in a while and I just told him about recent events in my life. Real events, too, to which he listens and it was nice because I got to be the one explaining and sharing my story.

We eventually got to BGC and just keep talking, and then he talks to me about the benefits of having a dedicated girlfriend at this life stage, and such. I mostly agree and we walk upstairs to Datablitz to check out some stuff, and I also planned to buy a USB cable for someone. We didn't find any, but we talked while browsing Datablitz and then we went to the Gashapon store nearby. We got a few things, I initially got an aespa lightstick keychain for someone. Then Loy got his own things, but shortly after that I saw an Apex Legends capsule container and we both got that for the memories. It was nice, I got Octane and it kind of brought back some memories of me playing Apex with them in 2021.

After that, we stopped by Fully Booked and Loy was interested in this one specific book, so he had that on his mind for a while. We then passed by Card Central Cafe where I showed to Loy that it was a recently-opened place. We saw a guy in line with a really cute girlfriend and we just can't help but notice at how eccentric he was, and yet he has a girlfriend that looks so pretty. I just order for myself and it was this peanut butter coffee, which was admittedly pretty nice to drink, but it baffled me and Loy at how long it took to serve. It was just coffee. But then Loy asked me about what I do these days, and he even went further to ask about the nature of the company I work for and the team. He seemed really into knowing me and genuinely interested, so I was able to open up and it felt nice to just open up to a friend.

After that, we kept walking to Starbucks since that was our ultimate destination, and after a while of walking, we eventually got there. I got drinks for us and we just sat outside, talking about life and more on Loy's trips, experiences. After a while, some guy and his kid sit next to us which then just makes us go to our next stop, which was CoCo Ichibanya on Forbestown road. I told him about the places we could eat at, and he picked Japanese omurice and curry instead. We got seated and just talked more about random things, this time about Steam games and the other games we used to play, also handheld gaming devices we used to have. But after that, we then started wrapping up our little trip for the day.

We stopped by Market! Market! because I wanted to get a SIM card for someone and he passed by a few stores in SM Aura before we ultimately paid for the parking ticket and then went on back home. I got dropped off and did a few things to chill for the night.
