More Like "Singles' Awareness Day":)

Alright. Let's have a current blog insert first. So Valentine's Day was over...finally! haha! But let me share some stuff I did with my single friends on that day.

We met up at Eastwood City Mall on the night of February 14. People come in any of these groupings: 

• group of "singles" (either all girls, all boys, or mixed) 
• families
• co-workers (who I assume were also singles or have long distance partners)
• COUPLES (of all ages and of all genders lol)

Obviously, we belonged to the first bullet. So we had dinner at Momo. Beside our table was also a group of single girls. haha! We're happy, but some of our conversations actually sounded a bit bitter.:))

 while waiting for our seats at Momo

 time to order food:)

 complimentary bread

 Darlene and I

 vanity while waiting for our food LOL

 Four Cheese w/ Mushrooms Pizza

 Salmon, my fave!:)

 Lychee-Melon Shake

 Chocolate Shake

 Dianne and Step (yeah she refuses to add "h" LOL)

 with people taking photos w/ the LOVE thing at the background

 define LOVE...less???:))

 this kinda looked cool. haha

I was ready to go home at 10pm. But just when I though the night's over, my bestfriend insisted that we grab a few drinks before going home. Step and Darlene already left 'coz they got some other things to do. So Dianne and I proceeded to Distillery to have some white wine. Unfortunately, the wine that i wanted wasn't available. So we ordered Tequila Rose instead. Just the right drink for singles on a Vday night. haha!

The place was filled with groups of single people. I bumped into a high school batchmate there. Plus we also spotted Ms. Jean Garcia in the house. The place was perfect for singles. They played good music and the crowd was really fun. My friend Josh also came and joined us. His fiance was actually in Australia.

 this was posted on all the tables haha

 Like!:)

 and so we answered the question LOL

 bestfriends

But our Vday celebration didn't end there. On Feb.16, we satisfied our craving for chocolate in a place we've been wanting to try. We went to Chocolate Fire in Salcedo Village for some sinful dose of chocs.

 after this shot, the waiter told me that nobody's allowed to take photos haha

 Soup of the Day (tasted like Asparagus)

 Ham & Cheese sandwich

 Firedogs! (super hot & spicy)

 Fondue!!!

happy!:)

*sorry some photos kinda looked dark 'coz I avoided using flash and the auto-adjustment feature of my camera didn't work well and I didn't know why.*

Just a proof that Valentine's is not only for couples.:) Singles rock! LOL

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 girls

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!=))

Spontaneous Saturday

March 13 - It's one of the most spontaneous days I ever had. haha! We we're able to go to a lot of places without having any plans at all.

We woke up late and had lunch at Cainta, then off to Rockwell to return the clothes we used at our photoshoot. Then we went home to get changed.

At 3:30pm, we were at Starbucks Katipunan for a meeting with our client.

i didn't look busy haha

Before 6pm, we left Katips to have some food trip in UP: isaw, kwek2x, tapsilog at Rodics, and cakes at Chocolate Kiss.

 we almost missed their last few pieces

please excuse my party attire. this outfit was meant to last 'til night haha

 tapsilog at Rodic's...w/ extra egg for Maze

 w/ our newly found friend, Sarah

 it took us 15mins to finally get a table inside

 woah...i missed their iced tea!

 blueberry cheesecake!!!

 devil's food cake

Then we got a text message inviting us to drink at Hang Over in Ortigas Home Depot.

Then I realized that my friend was waiting for us at Club Circa in Eastwood. Some of our DJ friends will be playing there that night also so we decided to go there as well.

But I was craving for pizza and pasta so we had some at Pasto. Then Angelia and I went up to Circa to party for a bit. haha.

 Margherita

 Frutti de Mare (seafood)

 they didn't want to party so they were left there haha

 another VIP night at the DJs booth! partyyy!!! 

Oh yeah...Saturday! =P

Brothers and Sisters

It's been a couple of weeks that I've been staying at my friends' house. They were three siblings (Jian, Dos, Kim) and it felt like I was the fourth and Mark was the fifth. haha! But that didn't stop there 'coz we keep growing in number. Maze became officially a sister....while Angelia was just a part time sister haha ('coz she's not really based here in Manila but in Iloilo).

March 3 - It was supposedly Maze' flight to Boracay but she chose to stay so we all went to Timberland to swim!=) Wow, we're all livin' a bum's life while our Kuya Mark's busy at work in his office in Eastwood. haha!=))

in the car

 Timberland!

 power rangers!=))

 yummy milkshakes!

go go power rangers! haha! (locker keys)

what a good life! haha

We spent the night at Eastwood City where we had dinner (Dencio's) and watched a movie (don't ask what it was 'coz it bored me haha). Kuya Mark's work was done so he was able to join us.

 haha random craziness

 my brothers and sisters =P

 hey look up!=)

dinner (too little servings at Dencio's)

It was such a fun day with my pseudo-siblings!=) I am looking forward to more moments like these. I love my brothers and sisters! Truly awesome treasures.=)
