Girl's night out with Claire. Finally.

I SMS'd Jinky yesterday about a friends gig in Saguijo. Unfortunately, people backed out last minute and we decided to just have dinner in Greenbelt instead.

When we got there, we thought of calling Claire in the hopes that she's in one of the 2 events in the area. True enough, she was at the "Bravo!" event with her boss. We ended up convincing Claire (sort of against her will) to hang out with us that night at Kitchen.

It was a way of catching up with each other. Three girls sharing a cozy table in greenbelt talking, making "ka-ka" over dinner. The always-going-home-early-Claire kept on rushing us to finish our dinner later so I could already take her home. But she also kept on talking.

Yup. The girl couldn't stop talking. This was the first time after a while that she just hung out with her girlfriends. No husband. No baby. She poured her stories of married life and... well, mostly about being married. And that no matter how clingy or how kid-like your husband can be, the best thing about it is having the baby; how Sophia's first word was actually "mamamamamamama" and how she'd always stop crying when she's placed right beside her mommy. Claire would tell us how Sophia likes to squeeze herself beside her in bed... like a dog. (Yeah, that's how you best describe it.) It was a sweet and inspiring story on motherhood... but somewhat a disheartening and uninspiring story of married life... (i'm not sharing that discussion here)

She repeated her advise to me though, this time with Jinky around. "Savor being single." she said. "Dont' rush." Being 26 and single doesn't mean anything. It just means your 26 and the world is your oyster.

- Live like there's no tomorrow. Love like it's your last.
