It's Friday again (not the 13th but the 20th)! Last night our Life Group's (LG) meeting was at Queensbay's The Coffee Bean at 7:30 p.m. Rommel dropped me off at Myla’s place on their way to Permata Sports Complex for Ari’s regular swimming training at 7pm. Joule and his missionary guests, husband and wife team, Arnold and Vicky were having early dinner. I browsed through some of the Pinoy magazines that Joule brought for Myla from his Philippine trip. Shaynne sent me a text that she and Chloe were in KFC having their dinner. The phone rang but I didn’t get it on time. I was wondering who called since the local number looked unfamiliar. After a couple of texts later, I found out that it was from Ellen. I returned the call and learned that she couldn’t join us because she was not feeling well.☹
Soon, it was time to go. Joule drove Arnold, Vicky, Myla, Eirene and me to Queensbay Mall. Myla and I proceeded to The Coffee Bean, the rest went malling. Shaynne and Chloe were waiting for us there. Chloe gave me a drawing she did earlier at KFC! Shaynne set up her computer for Chloe who couldn't wait to use it. Myla and I stood up to order our fresh orange drink (Myla was trying her best to ignore the muffins and the cakes). Shaynne said that Anne was waiting for her taxi. Mylene showed up next looking fresh (she lives near the mall). We were exchanging stories about how our week went by when Anne came. She ordered her favorite gourmet sandwich. Anne was obviously hungry. Mylene had fruit juice as well.

I brought a camera last night (Mylene did too) and was wondering who will take our photo (no one was waiting on tables). When suddenly, Anne’s officemate showed up. She gamely took our group photo. After that, we got down to "business”. It was another fun night of sharing our life and hearts with one another and sharing God’s word. We ended the meeting by praying and committing to pray for one another about our prayer requests. Myla’s question, “How many minutes more?” reminded me that it was time to go…it was 9:45 p.m.!

Willie (Mylene’s husband) and kids who were just in the vicinity joined us. Willie took another picture of ours with the kids. We lingered while waiting for Willie and Joule who was talking near by. We soon stepped out of the store and I had to call out to Shaynne, Mylene and kids since the coffee shop’s “metal blinds” were already being lowered (there were still many customer ‘tho).

Outside, we’re still having fun. We made Shaynne posed with MNG mannequins. She looked like one of them with the dress she was wearing.☺
Again, I rode with Myla and her family and guests while Shaynne and Anne shared a ride with Mylene's family. Thank you Lord, we had a wonderful time!
