It's a small world after all

It was a long weekend last Aug18-21, but before going out of town, I spent my Friday night first in Prive. My flight the next day was at 5:30am so I decided not to sleep anymore and just spend the night in Prive. A guy friend of mine invited me a couple of days before that because he said he's gonna hang there with his friends.

So that Friday night, I went to his condo and met his guy friend (he met in college days in Davao) who's a doctor. The three of us went to Prive and while in the car I was asking who else was coming. My friend was kinda teasing his friend about the girl whom he invited because the girl has not replied yet whether she's on her way or not. Then I was like, "You know, girls need a followup. Ask her now if she's coming 'coz we're already here." So there I kinda coached him on what to do.

Then while the three of us were getting drinks in the club, my guy friend told his friend, "It's okay if you'll have to drive the girl home after the party 'cause we can just take a cab." Then the guy said, "No, _(insert girl's first name here)_ got a car 'coz she's a med rep." And I was like, "Excuse me, what's the last name of the girl? I think I know her." Well I only know 2 people with that first name and one was them was a med rep. Then the guy answered, "No, I don't think you know her." But I said, "I think I know her. What's her last name?" Then the guy said her last name and I was like, "WTF! Are u serious? She's my friend! I was just with her last night! So funny because I was the one coaching you earlier on what to do or say to her to make her come here." 

So my friend arrived and was surprised that I was with those guys. But we ended up so happy because it's actually the first time we got to party together. I really had a great time, without getting over that funny discovery throughout the night. Yeah, it was indeed a small world! Or maybe, I just have a lot of friends too haha!

Btw, I just like Prive because it's not as crowded as other clubs plus it plays good music. I also love their Amaretto Sour!:) Well, drinks may be a bit pricey but that actually filters the crowd. I enjoy their Incognito Fridays, but I think you gotta try Stiletto Wednesdays too. Open bar 'til midnight!:)

Reminiscing Republiq Moments...

Didn't actually notice that it has already been a year since Republiq Club in Resorts World opened. And I would say that I've had a lot of fun memories in that place. It's where I met a lot of new people, as well as old friends I haven't seen for the longest time. It's one of the places where I had priceless moments with my friends, most especially my closest girl friends. 

Celebrated a couple of birthdays, victories, even farewells. Been also there for PLDT and Vans events to support my friends at work. Republiq is indeed a kickin' place!:) Now, let me have a rundown of those events I've been talking about...

Another Alcoholic Friday =P

March 20 - Another night which I never expected would give me so many glasses/shots of liquor. Haha! I left the house at 9pm...quite a late start for a Friday night huh?

First stop: Margarita at Cantina, Katipunan

It was a little bonding with my good friend Paula since I'll be leaving soon. So she treated me to dinner (Beef Fajitas) and a glass of Margarita. We really love Cantina's Margarita!=)

wonderin' why they're not of the same size. hmmm...

Second Stop: A Friend's Birthday Celebration

We sort of crashed because we kinda invited ourselves haha! I knew my friend wouldn't get mad if I'll go because it's also the last time I'll be seeing them before I leave the country. It was just a small party, actually, it was unplanned 'coz they only bought food and drinks when we got there haha! Besides a birthday party, I also claimed this night to be my despedida with my Friday Club friends.=) Had lots of shots of the blue and red drinks.=P

mixed drinks!

 happy birthday Jof...and farewell to me!=P

Third Stop: DJ Eric Kupper at Encore Main Room

I didn't know that it was DJ Eric Kupper who's spinning that night. I was there to meet up with my friends who were at Fly Room. But the line's too long going there so I settled with my other friend and his friends who were at the Main Room. Good thing we got seats! Oh they were already done with a bottle of Black Label when I got there, but they're still kind to have saved me a glass of it haha! But they weren't happy with a bottle of Black so they still ordered a bottle of Jack! Oh no, Jack Black? haha!=)) Sorry, but 4 glasses of Jack-Coke and a glass of Black failed to knock me down.=p

 w/ my friends Zeus, Paula, and Jack!=P

 the effect of their Tequila shots at Fly's VIP haha

who's drunk and who's not? hahaha

  

Fourth Stop: Chill at Fiama

Party ended quite early at Encore so we headed to Fiama to chill. It was a bit boring there, but I did appreciate the free glass of Vodka-Sprite with a lot of cherries haha!=))
 

still completely sane. wow!

Last stop: Food Trip at Mister Kabab

It was down to my bestfriend and I. The guys went to a private party, while the other two girls were too sleepy to survive 'til sunrise. haha! But just like how we end every party night, we had breakfast at Mister Kabab. Keema w/ Eggplant and Chicken Chelo Kebab filled my tummy! I was super full! haha!

Then we're home by 7am...which means that I was out of the house for 10 straight hours! Haha it was a crazy Friday night!=P

A Despedida

March 17 - It was Angelia's last night in Manila for she'll be flying the next day back to Iloilo, her hometown. We will really miss her and her very bubbly personality.  Her a month and two week-long stay here in Manila has been a rollercoaster ride. But all of those memories shared will always be in our hearts and minds forever. Friendship doesn't end when one leaves 'coz friendship bridges even the longest distance.

By this time, she's in Iloilo already. But even if she left us here already, we're all happy for her 'coz she's finally back with her family and friends there, plus she's back to her work in GMA Iloilo. She can always go back for vacation here in Manila anyway. Plus we could always meet in Boracay haha! Well, probably not this summer for me 'coz I'll be out of the country for three months. That's why I'll be the only one in the barkada who won't make it to Boracay during our planned barkada trip on April 29 to May 4. huhu.

To make the most of her last night here in Manila, we all had dinner at Jack's Loft in Eastwood.

all set for Boracay haha!=))

Then Lalie and Angelia both tried the Bungee Fun. Angelia drew the attention of the whole crowd as she somersaulted in the air for a couple of times. haha!

the boys

flying Lalie =P

somersaulting Angelia

huge crowd watching haha

After dinner, we went to Central in Pioneer for some drinks. Good thing they're on Promo! Buy 2 pitchers and get a free pitcher of your choice! So we ordered 2 pitchers of Bad Boy for a free pitcher of Bad Girl. I wish we have tried the Bad Trip. haha!=)) Each pitcher costs P180...and our total amounted to P2000 plus. Imagine how many pitchers we finished. I even lost count of it.=))

 take a look at their Drink Menu

 6 guys and 6 girls...everybody had to sit as a pair (even if they're not a couple haha)

Last stop was at Mister Kabab. It was a crazy night! Haha! I didn't get drunk, not even an amats. The drinks were quite weak actually, but I dunno why some of my friends went crazy towards the end of the night. haha!=))

Party Thursday & Steady Friday

March 11 - Ladies' night at Guilly's. Angelia and I got invited by DJ Ace Ramos, and so we were VIP the whole night. Lots of free drinks and definitely cool music. It was the night I fell in love with Bacardi apple!=)

Actually, I didn't wanna go out anymore but my friend has really strong convincing powers so I stepped out of the house around 10:40pm. We grabbed some food at Pier One first 'coz it's only by midnight that our DJ friends will be at the club to spin.

ladies' night out =)

 nilasing na hipon which costs P5 more than the California Maki

 still waiting for the Djs...

 ...and now we're in! :P

March 12 - We stayed home the whole day and left my house around 9:30pm to meet up with our friends at Gram's Rockwell. We were too tired and sleepy that we didn't last long that night. We left past midnight for a sleepover at Maze' place in Cainta.

we parked in the mall when we're actually supposed to be out haha
