Nostalgia in SBC

Kookie and I met up in Rockwell last night. After dinner, we decided to just walk around The Power Plant since we couldn't decide what to do. While walking along the stalls which were all closing down one by one, we saw some old college friends at the other side of the mall. After the usual hugs and beso-besos, we decided to settle down in Seattle's Best and chat away.

Funny stories of the night (names have been changed):

Ann: "Marie, saan tayo magmi-meet?"
Marie: "SBC nalang"
Ann: "Uh, ano yung 'SBC', 'StarBucks Coffee'?"

Mark (3 year old boy): "Mommy, ang sarap nitong Oreo!"
Ann: "Anak, Bingo yan."


On my way home, I kept smirking because of all the kwentos. Ann was notorious, especially back in college, for being clueless and sarcastic and funny all the time. It brought me back to our UPM days, when we would just hang out all afternoon at our tambayans, waiting for the sun to set and Malate to open. For a moment there, everything was back to what it used to be, only instead of our tambayan, we were in SBC, and instead of the usual faded jeans, t-shirts and sneakers, we were in suits, slacks, button-down shirts and high heels. So much has changed, and yet, so much hasn't, and it was completely nice.
