One super sunny afternoon. I decided to break from my usual work routines. I called my father and scheduled an afternoon date with him…. Where? Just as the title goes… in Bonifacio Global City, High Street.
My dad is not much of a traveler. In his most mature age, he prefers to stay at home and enjoy house chores on weekends. If we ask him of a family day out, he would rant of the lonely house, the lonely dog and the heavy weekend traffic. God’s been good to me because I found a chance to bring him to Global City.
We met at Ayala Station, me coming from Cavite and he from Las Piñas. I asked for The Fort bus and gladly the bus driver directed me on the right place. Hindi talaga ako malilito. But he was in Shell after the train station. So I called him. (Ah nga pala, he is not much of a techy dad, so answering his cellphone will take you 15 rings pa).
So he blamed me of our meet up. And pala this is my second time commuting to Global City, so medyo shu-shunga shunga pa ako. The first time were years ago. So he is starting ranting. What more when I don’t know where the best bus stop going to the place where I will claim my bag. And what building nga ba? Well, asking for directions is not a sin. Just know who to ask. So magpapaka psych ako pansamantala. But it seems to me, the rantings of my dad was waived by the new sights and ambiance that he felt.
After claiming the bag. We decided to drop by at Nike look and buy. We ate at Brother’s Burger. Tapos, stroll stroll lang. Kaya lang since malapit na ang rush hour. We decided to go home na. Its not much of a get away but it is something worth spending with your dad.
