Last night 'Like A Midnight Rendevous' came over. I was a little nervous about the setting since my mom and Abi will see me interact, but it actually turned out wayyyyy better than I expected. Although I still have to get use to his sarcastic humor, I found him funny. He was very relaxed the whole time and entertaing. The night was young so we played pool and talked. Halfway into the game he told me I sucked at introducing my mother, because he doesn't even know what to call her (hahaha). I didn't have an answer to his question and I told him we'd ask my mom later. I was surprised to hear that he wasn't comfortable calling my mom by her first name, because I always thought calling your friends' parents by their first name was acceptable (eventhough I never do) in the American culture. Then my mom made us have dinner together... it was nice, but still a little strange haha! It wasn't a big deal but of course awkwardness follows me like a tail if I were to have one. We asked my mom what he should call her, he told her why he was curious and immediately he earned ten points for that (HAHA). My mom liked him a lot and so did the little one, haha! My mom even told him he could call her 'tita'.
Tita:
Translated// means Aunt in the Filipino language; Tagalog. Used for close family and friends to address their elders.
I just remember my mouth opening in shock. Abi just started laughing...
Anyway we ate and I have to say he gets a lot of phone calls. Especially from his friends. Apparently they were waiting for him to come back to them. It was hilarious, I thought he sounded like he had his 'wives' on the other end of the phone. Afterwards Abi joined us for a couple of games of pool and foosball. It was all fun and games until Abi decided to beat us in every possible way. I swear it was 2 against 1 in foosball...and she still won, haha! Anyway it was a good night. he left around 8 pm and before he did my mother said:
"Come back anytime."
I really do wonder, is he really that charming and how did he get my mom's approval so quickly??
Tricky, tricky.
HAHA
