Two of the many reasons why Brian and I get along REALLY well:
1. We’re both spontaneous. Friday nights are date nights and in our half a year together, I don’t recall us planning for any of those Fridays. Sometimes we’d get really lost and have waisted a good deal of time, energy and gas and decided on learning from it and would be planning for the next Friday date, but never have we really done it. It has always been, “where to?…. Bahala na!”
2. Sports. Yes, I am a sports lover and I am thankful that I am finally in a relationship with somene that likes it as much, in fact even more than I do.
Last Friday we got to do those 2 things. We drove to Araneta amidst the busy traffic of a Friday afternoon. We also know that we don’t have tickets and was just hoping that there would still be tickets available in the ticket booth. We’re also aware that we would already miss the first game as it starts at 515 when it’s already almost 7. We’re also not sure if the game would be in Araneta as there are days when they would play at the astrodome and yes, we only wondered about that part when we have already parked and is panting towards Araneta. Yes, yes, we’re not the “thinking” kind but that’s what we enjoy about each other.
For some stroke of luck we didn’t encounter too much traffic. When we reached Araneta we were also glad to learn that the game is playing there, whew! We were also excited as we still get to catch the first game on it’s fourth quarter. But our luck ended there. The only available tickets were the Upper box, standing room only section. The 60 pesos pang masa kind. And because we’re so sossy, he held my hand and led me and my disapponted face away from the ticket booth consoling me by offering to take me to a nice restaurant for our dinner date instead. Just when I finally obliged and gave in, he did a back turn and said “hindi pwedeng masayang ang punta natin dito, tara let’s get those standing room tickets!”
And so we did.
It was the cheapest, most heart-pumping, craziest and dumbest Friday night date ever!
