Play day

I woke up today with the ranting of my brother about how "haggard" and tired he is with his acads. It is the start of his hell week again. But before he immerse himself with a truckload of paper works and exam reviews, he asked (actually he plead to) my parents if he could have a "play and relaxation" day. And his wish was granted. My dad drove us to Ortigas. But I guess we underestimated Quiel. The weather was fine in LB, but we never knew how hard the rain was from SLEX onwards. Actually, the pressure was on my dad since he was in charge of driving. Thank God for our safe trip today.

As for our "play day", my brother and I indulged on a shopping spree with an extra challenge--- we only have an hour to decide and choose what to buy. And there it was, Megamall became our hideaway playground. Oh how I love my parents. They always know what we need when we are stressed. And now, my brother is truly energized-- he's on the mood to review for his exams and face his hell week with ease. Go go go future chemical engineer! :)

But what really caught my attention today was a huge billboard outside Megamall which says:

"Nicholas Sparks live in Manila"

I became frantic. As you know, I am a self-proclaimed romantic and I just adore his works. Who did not shed a tear with A walk to remember and The Notebook? I am really a fan. I hope I could get to his autograph signing (but before that, you need to buy his latest book first). Since this is my birth month, my wish of meeting the great man behind the sublime love stories would certainly make my birthday truly memorable.
