Since last year, Mom Violy and Carmina had been wanting to try the much-talked-about Bebang's Halo-Halo , but even when we passed by, the timing was never right. Mom Violy kept saying she’d wait until a branch opened closer to us. Then Becky told Carmina there was one along her commute route to work. The best part was that the Tomas Morato branch in Quezon City had just opened. When we arrived at CTTM Square , we found plenty of restaurants on the second floor. While checking the menu, we let the customers behind us order first. Mom Violy asked them for recommendations, and they suggested the Presidential for first timers. Unlike other places, Bebang’s Halo-Halo doesn’t have size options—everything comes in a standard size, making ordering easier. Seniors and PWDs get a discount per order, and you’re given something that lights up when your halo-halo is ready for pickup. Service was quick, so the wait wasn’t long at all. Each order comes in its own green plastic bag with a table...
So many people have their phone
with them at the table when they are about to eat or starting. No matter what
the reason is someone next to you question who you're messaging as you keep
smiling at your phone or laughing?
There some people who are next to
careless to ask who you are messaging it doesn't seem any of your business.
At that moment I was talking to one
of my childhood friend who we have known each other since we're kids. Our
parents knew it each other and as his mom passed away many years ago. We've
always try to keep in touch.
His dad was at the dating stage and
my mom was already single by then. We tried to match up our parents together.
His father was already dating someone who was even my step mother's best
friend.
My guy friend Bert always treated
me as his sister no matter if we have been friends for a long time.
There was a point in our life when
we're in our 20's he was dating one of my close friends. It turned around them
not marrying each other due it wasn't fate. He had met his wife in the
Philippines during the time he was traveling.
As years past on we didn't see each
other anymore because we had our separate married life.
Facebook came around and we started
connecting to each other. I was close to his siblings who are his entire
sister.
I added his entire sister in my
Facebook.
Many years later he was diagnosed
an illness that is not cure able. He never wants to see me in person feeling
pity among his appearance. We always find time to chat in Facebook messenger.
Every time I chat with him we just
pass each other our pictures.
Today, at the breakfast table my
husband was asking who I was laughing too as I am sending Bert a message. He
was probably thinking I had a boyfriend of some sort. But our names has been
changed to Brother for Bert and my name as Sister.
Anyway life becomes a challenge
when someone you are married too question who your talking too and no doubt you
are not doing anything foolish to hurt your marriage.
I didn't mind him and still kept
messaging my friend.
