Tuesday started with me and Kai still eating out at Pancake House and we eventually finish our food. She tells me of a few organic encounters that she has in her trip to Elyu and I just listen to her stories. We also took a few pics on the 3DS that she has. After that, Kai decieds that we should walk for a bit more and I accompany her for a bit. We walk through several places in BGC, pass through this road that looks a bit liminal at night, but we essentially just circle back to Burgos Circle. Kai decides to book a ride at this point and that's where she and I part ways. I book a ride home, too, but I also get this weird feeling that I still can't explain to this sad. I got really sad and worked up about changing my life and I think the ride home helped me feel better. I also opened up about this to someone but they literally didn't reply afterward so I never got help from them, not like I was expecting them to, though.

For the morning, I had on-site work and it was pretty okay. I had coffee out with my coworkers and we tried this new place. The coffee there wasn't that good, though, but it wasn't that bad either to me. But for my other coworkers, it was pretty bad. I also bought a new charger and cable for myself, which was pretty cool. I also got the tempered glass on my iPhone 16 Pro Max replaced, and I was shocked at how yellow it had gotten. I broke the tempered glass for the first time in almost 2 years after I had mistakenly dropped it face-first while eating KFC with my coworkers. I had to get the screen replaced twice because the first installation was a dud and had this weird bubble on the screen. I just had work for the rest of the day after that.

In the evening, I had dinner out with my coworkers and we ate at Kawa Ramen. I had a meeting later in the evening so we had to make it quick. It was kind of a hassle as my coworkers had other things to do, so we planned to have dinner somewhere else, but we decided to push through eating at Dela Rosa. We initially wanted to eat at Señor Pollo, but it was temporarily closed when we got there, so we just settled for Kawa Ramen since it was nearby. I mistakenly told them that the skin on the edamame was edible, but I was wrong and we tossed the skin in a proper, separate bowl. We went back to the office after eating in a car that I booked and paid for. I had my meeting and I surprisingly got off work super late at around 11:30 p.m., which surprised me.

I still had to go out with Jaze after this so he eventually went to a place near my office and I timed out for the day and then met him. We drove to this pares food stall right by the road, somewhere near NAIA. It made me miss NAIA because I last went there for my trip to Korea. We took a while to find it, but we eventually found it just before midnight. My day continued from there.
