i never made it to Discovery. after having lunch with Tere, i headed to starbucks katipunan to wait for tina. it was a nice, traffic jam-free ride. i arrived early so i dropped by national bookstore first. i did my usual rounds of the bookstore, but the security guard kept following me, probably thinking i was a shoplifting Atenean. (one big fight! tadah!)

i got a handful of those fancy rubber erasers. i made sure to get really small stuff so they'd fit my hand---i wanted him to think i WAS really going to shoplift. when he still followed me stealthily to the New Age section, i put the erasers on the book rack, literally barked at him, smiled and sauntered out of the freaking bookstore.

then it was time for a frappuccino.

cool.
