We were pretty strapped for time because we had planned to go out to SM Aura today and just chill at the Korean market nearby. I booked her a ride there in the afternoon and I woke up pretty late, which I kind of regret. She got picked up first and spent a lot of time in traffic, so I had to come up with a contingency plan to just have her be dropped off at SM Bicutan and we'd watch Obsession (2026) there. It was a hassle to communicate with the driver but they were essentially able to drop her off and I booked a ride to SM Bicutan. I walked and we got to Marugame Udon where they bought food with their own money, even though I planned to treat them out, which was interesting. We talked a bit and we overheard the girl next to us talk about her time in Paris and about Obsession, and thankfully she didn't really spoil us. I noticed that Ella was wearing something pretty stylish today, so that was pretty cool and interesting. We then went to the cinema and I got us some slushy-things and then we got our snacks. We waited quite a while in line, but it was fine and I had forgotten to claim our other snacks, but I essentially just skipped the line and got our snacks quickly. We watched the movie and Ella seemed to like it. I'm glad that she liked the film and we went to the food court afterward. We still had some time left in the day so we decided to go to BGC. I booked us a ride there from SM Bicutan and we met up with the driver. We talked for a while during the trip and then eventually ended up at Starbucks BGC, my 3rd place. We had some drinks and I got her that bacon flatbread, and we took a few photos together. We then walked all the way to that Korean market, just talking and we got some drinks. There were quite a lot of people here and we got some soju that we shared with each other. It was pretty fun and we made comments about the other people there with us. After a while, she decided that it was time for us to head back to our houses and then I booked us a Grab ride back. We just talked again while we were on the way back and I got dropped off at my place first, then Ella got home fine. We talked after that on Discord and that's where our day continued.
