dry run

Tonight was the dry run for Luis' first formal date. The suit fit perfectly - it went so well with the new tie and the new shirt and the old, refurbished-by-Mr.Quickie shoes. The girl Tanya had emailed him a map earlier since he had never been to her house...so, since the driver this Thursday is very new to Manila and only knows the san juan - makati route along EDSA, the three of us actually drove to her area (Marikina!!) this evening! Just whizzed by her subdivision, so Luis knows exactly where it is. Noted all the landmarks and studied the route so well he can actually go there blindfolded. And so here I am so excited, with happy-sad emotions. Dear sweet Jackie actually lent his car and driver for Luis to use. And Nikki said she won't allow him to get out of the house till he looks his very best. But he doesn't want me to take the half day off, I don't think he wants me to see him all spruced up while I coo and fuss ... I must stop this and realize he's 16 and not 6!! Tonight was also an excuse for the kids to get out of the house (where they've been cooped up the whole day!) and enjoy the traffic-less ride (we went at about 10pm!). Passed by krispy kremes on the way..yummy.

There's no need to lie
Without me half trying, I could love you
It shows in your eyes
That you feel the same way I do
But wherever I go, my conscience goes
What more can I say
It's only desire, not yet a fire
Let's keep it that way

Let's finish this wine
'Cause I'm not thinking too clearly tonight
And the touch of your hand
Makes it so hard for me to tell wrong from right
He waits at home and he's there alone
And though I'd like to stay
Before I give in
Let's call it just friends
And keep it that way
