The Playing Cupid Wildcard

Well, let's just say that this relationship is more on the not-so-close side. Not even more business-like.

So anyway, I got a call from Mom asking me to come and meet the father and son tandem of what was to be a near business relationship. See, one of my cousins is being set to meet up with this bachelor of a son, who happens to be the son of the landowner of the condominium I used to reside in before the transfer. She decided that there would be a fruitful outcome to this relationship.

So we went to the Starbucks Cafe and have a delightful round of coffee, all the while watching the young couple talk, discuss, and interact with each other from the window. I can see, as well, that things could quite turn out for the better.

Then we went to tour around his estate, which was expansive, to say the least. And to think that it all started with shells.

The day ended with a night at a huge restaurant that when seen from outside, would look like some Spanish villa. It's because the building looks to be made of rocks and cement, but we all know that it's just a cover-up. There's steel beams and wooden planks supporting the building from inside.

We were bored the entire night and I couldn't have asked for a better distraction than a walk outside.
