Last night's dream was so vivid, and yet for the better part of this morning, I couldn't remember what it was about. Thanks to a phrase that I read in someone's blog, the memories started flooding back to me, thankfully.
Apparently, I was attending a conference in California with my Diliman classmates. I distinctly remember being in an auditorium of sorts, and being in a circle for a session. After the conference, I called my mom, who, in this dream, was with my aunt in California. I wanted them to pick me up so that we could go out for lunch or dinner or something. For some reason, they couldn't pick us up, so Pipay, TJ, and me, took a cab and went to the mall to wait for them.
While we were at the mall, we saw tons of Filipinos, and the theater was showing movies from The Filipino Channel. I met a guy who wanted to show me around, but just when he was about to do that, my mom arrived. I had been calling her and my aunt, and I remember worrying about how much it would be costing me, since I was using Global Roaming. That's me, the eternal money worrywart.
Anyway, when they got there, the next question was about where we were going to eat. I wanted to eat at Thai BBQ, because I wanted to have my Thai Iced Tea, and have TJ and Pipay taste it. But my aunt wanted to eat at Border Grill, which I didn't have any objections over either. In fact, I was excited because of the fact that Border Grill is owned by Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger, whose show, Too Hot Tamales, I really enjoy.
When we got to Border Grill, we had to climb up these flights of fire exit type stairs only to find that Border Grill was closed. While we were waiting for it to open, I woke up.

I think I've been watching too much of The Amazing Race. The dream starts with me being in high school, and my friends and I were about to sit down to have lunch at the cafeteria.
Next scene: I'm at National Bookstore, looking at books and stuff which are piled on top of each other, seemingly on sale. I see an old classmate of mine (high school nickname: Derma), who tells me that these books are selling for two pesos each. Because I'm on a tight budget, I confirm and reconfirm that price with him. When he does, I get a bunch of books and head over to the cashier to pay for my purchases. When I get there, I find out that they actually cost twenty five pesos each. I'm not sure if I did indeed buy them or not.
Cut to: Myself, driving a car through BF Almanza aggresively. I head over to Alabang Town Center, apparently as part of The Amazing Race. I get out of my car hurriedly, and through a couple of shortcuts, find myself on the escalator faster than my opponent. I go to the third floor, to look for the clue, only to find it at a computer store, with my friend Wil-an, and my freshman classmate, Bea.
When I ask them for the clue, they tell me that I can't get it till 2:30 am. As my opponent shows up at the computer shop, I worry about how I will go to the computer shop, alone, at 2:30 am.
End.
