36: Touch Base

Gong Cha

Project: Food and Thoughts No. 36

Gong Cha recently opened their new branch in Forum Robinsons. Gong Cha offers milk tea beverages. Phil, a good friend of mine, is a fan. Who could be a better person to invite for this trip but someone who loves it?!

We decided to meet in the afternoon just before our evening work shifts. We got ourselves the following:

Gong Cha Watermelon Milk Tea with Pearls @ P95-
Gong Cha Milk Choco @ P90-

Phil and I have been friends for a long time. We have gone through hell and back, as she always puts it. For the last couple of months, we have become so busy with work, Project Tenfold and our own lives. We have not touched base on a lot of things. It's funny how something like that happens to any relationship. You see each other almost everyday but you know you also miss each other's presence.

We took this chance to catch up and make sure we are both doing well. We talked about a lot of things which we tried to squeeze in an hour or so.

This is how friends (and sisters) should be. We can be separated by distance (or not, as the case may be) but you make a conscious effort not to create the same distance between your hearts. It doesn't have to be a year-long trip or a sleepover to touch base. It can just be a small talk over a cup of coffee or milk tea. 

We didn't bother to take a photo of ourselves because there's too many to talk about. But I took some old photos of two of our best travels together.

There's a special kind of freedom sisters enjoy. Freedom to share innermost thoughts, to ask a favor, to show their true feelings. The freedom to simply be themselves. - Unknown
