Why you shouldn't miss Spotlight Saturdays...

Every Saturday, DQ Acoustic performs at Archipelago 7107, Il Terrazzo in Tomas Morato, Quezon City. They play good music and interacts well with the crowd. The band starts to play at around 10pm, while the guests enjoy "Buy 1 Take 1" cocktails and "Free Salpicao" for every bottle of hard liquor. Plus there's a pretty bartender every Saturday who's ready to serve you!:)

The band performs in 3 sets. But before the band plays, pieces of paper are distributed so people can put on their requests. Guests may opt to jam with the band starting on their 2nd set through the 3rd. Everyone is welcome to join the fun!

The band usually ends playing at around 3am but some people stay 'til 4am, most especially when they're celebrating special occasions, just like last Saturday (June 23) when we were celebrating a friend's birthday. Let me share some photos from last Saturday...

Take a break from your usual Saturday night party. Sometimes, it is also nice to just sit back and relax with your friends with some acoustic music at the background. Or if you're too tired dancing at the club, you may choose to sing the night away.

We got you a perfect "chillax" spot. Come and join us in Spotlight Saturdays!:)

June 13 - Flight back to Manila from Narita Airport

my last authentic Udon

I never go back to the PI without buying Royce chocolates

Then some of my friends came over at my place that night. We had a bottle of Jack and had a fun bonding like we always do.

June 14 - I went to Azta Eastwood for a hair color change. Thanks to Jarmon my stylist for giving me a nice hair color (shade of Copper) and a healthier hair (via Power Dose treatment). Then I had a couple of drinks with my girl friends at Distillery.

June 15 - It's our first day in class. Right after class, my classmates and I had dinner in Wicked Kitchen. Then I got kidnapped by a friend. We swung by Distillery Fort and met up with some friends in Republiq.

June 16 - It's my second day of class and I have barely slept. My classmates and I had lunch at Ken Afford and I bumped into my high school friend at the first resto we entered. After class, I headed home to have an early Father's Day celebration. I finally got to see again my little brother. Later that night, Farah picked me up and we proceeded to Archipelago 7107 at Il Terrazzo for Spotlight Saturdays with DQ Acoustic. I enjoyed the company of friends whom I haven't seen for months.

June 18 - I had lunch with my brother and grandmother in Max's, SM Marikina then I headed to Greenhills to have my Blackberry fixed. After there, I visited my friends in PLDT and my BFF and I had snacks at Coffee Bean, Greenbelt. We also had dinner with our sorority sisters in Kanin Club, Ayala Triangle; then we proceeded to Dillinger's Greenbelt for some drinks with our friend who's about go leave for Davao the next day.

Since I've been out since the day I arrived, I took a break and stayed home last Tuesday (June 19). Instead of going out, I just cooked Baked Macaroni for the family.:)

After a day of rest, here came another spontaneous night. I watched a movie with Farah then we decided to go to Opus and Republiq since they got a better crowd on Wednesday nights. And since we got hungry, we had breakfast at Sinangag Express in Makati.

 Patron XO shots!!!

a hearty meal :)

And that's how my first week back in Manila happened to be. All of those photos just proved that i truly missed Manila and my friends here. There's really no place like home! I felt so good to be back!:)
