STORY TIME: Meeting my Mobile Legend friends and My last day in Manila

After 2 years of long-distance friendship with the trio I met in mobile Legend, we finally saw each other in person when I was in Manila a month ago.

was I nervous? No, because I feel comfortable being with them since we've been doing calls a lot.

we decided to meet in bgc since it's the closest area where I'm staying at that time, @pencilkhen, Jirah's boyfriend was with me in meeting my friends who he also knows since they played together before.

while waiting for my friends, khen and I sat down in this area, This ride caught my attention, this is actually an unnecessary thought but I just wanna share it.

I got bored waiting, so I just observed the people passing by till this ride caught my attention, I saw people riding this which I thought they own the ride and just parked it, but turns out it was for all, khen said there was an app for it to work and showed me the instructions at the side, I didn't even notice it was there, I got intrigued but never had the urge to try it, so I just observed the people who were happily running to it, 2 groups of friends struggled to unlock it so they gave up and heard them say to find another, I got sad alongside them and I thought "is it that complicated to turn on?" another group tried it again, and finally unlocked it, they were delighted and I was happy for them too! hahaha, THE THINGS I DO WHEN BORED 😂

FINALLY MET THEM!

when they arrived at our location, me and Kath (in gray jacket) happily hugged each other saying we finally met! Hi hello happened with the other two men which is Joe (wearing a hat) and Eric (the brown shirt guy). Was there awkwardness, or shyness? Not at all! you can see how happy we are in the pictures,

Brief Story of How I met these wonderful people in the game

Mobile Legend has been one of the famous games played during the pandemic and I got addicted to it, I was playing with my best friend @spintwister grinding our account to achieve the highest rank in the game, we were a perfect duo, a 5 man is needed which the system picks random players to complete it.

During the drafting in the rank game, the trio was chatting with each other hoping that we, the duo aren't a burden in the game, and further said that maybe we were another stupid duo, as if we weren't there reading their chat. Instead of getting mad at their judgment of us, I understood their frustration since I experienced being arranged with stupid players in rank game, I just humbly said to them "TRY ME".

I showed them how good I am at playing Granger the marksman, and my best friend a mage user showed her skills too, we won that one game and they were amazed at how good we played our characters. They invited us to play one more game and it led to another which continued for a couple of years, we got so close that we exchanged our social media accounts.

During our long-distance friendship, we were planning on meeting in the year 2021, since I had plans to go to Manila at that time but due to personal reasons I canceled my plans, they said they might come to my hometown to meet me but the plans got blurry when we started to get busy from work, till a hiveph meet up happened in manila, I thought of meeting with them too since they live in the same area,

After dining at Starbucks, we just walked around bgc without destination, just looking around to see a good place to standby, while walking, Joe wanted to take a picture of himself for his IG, he did a sample to Kath, to teach her how to do it, khen has my phone so he took a picture of us,

me taking pictures of them and having the thought "Awww... my team" savoring my moments with them since It's my last day in Manila.

did I mention that there are a lot of cats in bgc? no? I love how these cats are everywhere, I feel bad for the cat, waiting outside mcdo to be fed, khen comforted me saying they feed the cats in the area so I shouldn't feel sad about it, which was a relief.

argh! cityscape ~ I love it.

we sat in this area for a short while, planning to buy drinks or something to eat and we went inside a Korean mart in the area, but we didn't understand the writing so we moved to a different location 😆

FUGA BAR

We wanted to drink a little and picked Fuga bar with Khen's guidance since he knows his way in bgc because he works in the area, We just ordered light drinks because Joe and Eric are driving

We talked a lot about life, work, and travels, we didn't notice the time that it's already 4am in the morning. Time passes by so fast when you are having fun with friends,

We paid for our drinks and I looked at the receipt and read, received from C 😂, my mind at that time thought of @cthings, I'm like I have a friend C, Is this a common username used in this area? or maybe C owns the bar! 😆 I can already hear her say "di mo sure"

the sun was almost rising, and I didn't feel tired or sleepy at all, I just admired the empty place and the beautiful cityscape again.

that street art is superb

I realized I didn't take pictures of myself that much so I took some since it's gonna be my last day in the place, and walking around bgc at this time was fun too~ the place looks clean and beautiful.

Overall, I'm so glad I meet all of my friends in Manila, some situations didn't turn out how I expect them to be, like getting sick, but a lesson for next time to arrive at either one or two days before a meet-up so there's still time to rest. Thankful for everyone who made my trip fun!

Thinking of coming back again, maybe next year ~ It was fun!
