My friend and I were actually planning things to break off our boredom during weekends or is it me that is so insistent (?) because she can kill time by watching old Filipino movies that my aunt’s borrowed from her relatives. And I am not.

She said she usually went out with friends, whenever she feels liked it back in the Philippines and so did I. One time we really want to go out and rush to a bar or a dance as they called it, but my uncle who was supposed to drive us, had to change his mind. We both need a time off and be merry even for a night, but that’s the glitch of being new to one country and positioned to a town that has no buses, cab to another town is so expensive. The people who we assume can go with us and have a free drive prefer to sit in front of playing cards instead of joining us. In the end, my friend will go to play with them, and I am left out in front of my computer…my ever loving laptop that have no choice but to embrace me every time a situation has to isolate me.

This weekend, she has decided not to stay with me in my uncle’s place due to financial constraint and the idea maybe add up to her boredom or, to say it all, lonesomeness, that she asked me to have a coffee with her when my employer dropped me off.

There is this cafe in downtown Alliston features arts and gourmet eats and treats and live entertainment. We don’t need to ask somebody to drive us both as it is just a walking distance away.

We always see what’s happening in the cafe every Thursday where they are having an “Open mic” in our weekly paper, and this is the nearest “refuge” for the “dead-beat” soul like the two of us, and so off we went to there.

The cakes were pretty good, the coffee was splendid (any kind of coffee is very good for me), the staff were so friendly that you would like to hang-out there every day and to top it all, there was this lady who plays wonderful jazz music with her guitar. I find her impressive especially when she performs The Rolling Stones Goodbye Ruby Tuesday which we thought was Rod Stewart’s Stairway to Heaven when we heard the intro of her guitar.

It was the first time that I heard that song actually, and I thought it was a very nice song. Too bad we need to leave the lady still performing for I don’t want to walk on home on the dark street.

So I guess I had an interesting weekend…..that is sweet!
