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.:))

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

 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!=))

A Perfect Saturday :)

This is indeed one of my happiest Saturdays ever! :)

Woke up at 7am and had breakfast and kulitan with the people at home.

I had my P&G exam in Makati; and fortunately, I passed!

sorry, it was harassed inside my bag haha =P

Then my bestfriend and I went to Trinoma for our tradition. What tradition? Well, we are obliged to treat each other out every time we get our first salary from our new job. Haha! It's her third time already since it's her third job. But since I'm about to leave my current job already, I think she's getting a treat from me again haha!=))

Late lunch at Holy Cow. Food was yummy!=)

 Grilled Beef Brochette

Watched "Paano na Kaya?" haha! We're not fans ok? We're just curious. hahaha! Well, the movie's nice anyway.=P

Had yogurts at Red Mango. Yummy!

   Blueberries!

We can't find nice flats, so we decided to  get clothes instead. Good thing Maldita was on sale!=) We both got dresses originally worth P1099 and P1200 but were already on 50% off haha!

On my way home I realized that one of my favorite local RNB bands will be playing at Taboo Room by night. So I texted some friends and invited them to come with me, and they agreed! yey!

So, while waiting for my cellphones' batteries to get charged up, my college friend texted me that they're in our college event somewhere in Kalayaan, QC. Then I realized that I promised my other college friends that I'll be attending that party too. So I hurriedly left the house to go to the party.

Outrage 2010. It's where I got ultimately drunk last year. And this time, even if unlimited booze were still available, I didn't drink much 'coz I've got some friends waiting for me in Ortigas. haha! But I enjoyed the party a lot after seeing a lot of people I missed.=)

orgmates and our applicants

Thursday Club reunited!=)

While I was tipsy, I took a cab to Ortigas Home Depot to watch K24/7 at Taboo Room.=) I texted the Magic 7, but only 6 of us were able to come. Well to think that it's unplanned, it's really great that we're closer to being complete haha. I think the first and only photo that we're all complete was that of our New Year Champagne Party haha!

K24/7!!!

 Magic 7 (minus 1) =p

 huge Red Horse at the Muziklaban

  

Then we went to Musicmatch, just right beside Taboo. They sang the karaoke while I slept. hahaha! =)) I was home by 4am.

Golden Water :))

I went to Krispy Kreme yesterday night to wait for my friend before we grab some dinner. If not of the free wifi and a little craving for honey glazed doghnuts, I won't be staying there while waiting.

So I ordered two honey glazed doughnuts, then the cashier asked me if I'm getting coffee but I said no 'coz I'm not really much of a coffee drinker. So I said I'll just have water. Well I was assuming service water, but the cashier pointed me the open fridge beside the counter wherein all the drinks were displayed. She told me to just get water from there. So my choices were a medium-sized Viva mineral water or a small Evian mineral water.

I chose the smaller one since I can't drink a lot of water. Then I was shocked that my total bill amounted to Php 117. When I was back to my seat, I checked the receipt and it stated that my water costed me Php 55. Yikes, exactly the same price of a small cup of coffee.

So it's expensive 'coz it's an imported one. Yikes, I think the local one is cheaper even if it's bigger in size. But it's weird, I wasn't even able to finish up the content of this little bottle so I didn't order a drink during dinner anymore 'coz I brought this water with me. haha!

Look at what Wikipedia shared about Evian mineral water:

"In popular culture, Evian is portrayed as a high-end and pricey bottled water, making it popular among Hollywood celebrities. David LaChapelle photographed an Evian campaign juxtaposing a supermodel next to an Evian fountain formed from a Greek statue, film actor Sebastian Siegel painted to look like stone by Joanne Gair."

Now I know...it's the celebrity feeling! hahaha! whatever!=))
