Jam Packed Weekend

As the title states I had a very jam packed weekend. So jam packed that I am so exhausted to write all the stuff that I/we did.

FRIDAY night I met up with my MIS buddies, and it's really historical because it's the first time that we had more than 5 people gathered. We planned to meet up at Cappriciosa in Greenbelt 3 at 7 for dinner. But Sheina and I agreed to meet up at 4:30 to catch a movie at G4. Unfortunately, she didn't make it on time for the movie so we just skipped that part. She came from a jamming in QC, and when she was on her way to Makati she was caught up in the heaviest traffic jam in EDSA.(She arrived at past 7)

While waiting for everyone to arrived I stayed seated on the benches near the cinema in G4 for a couple of hours (imagine me seated for 2 hours and all alone), then before 7 I went to Powerbooks in G3 to find some books and do a little reading. After reading about 2 chapters of Like Water for Chocolate, Kuya Red arrived and we went to Capricciosa to score us a table since it's a Friday night the place can get a little crowded.

When we got there we started updating each other with our lives and after a few moments Kitty arrived, then Sheina, then K'Anne (with the boyfs) and lastly Sir Wilson. We had a roller coaster ride of emotions that night, we were excited, happy, shocked, saddened but all in all it was all clean fun! We just love being with each other, and we can make any moment turn into a very unforgettable one.

After dinner we waited for Shein to get a ride home, then we were off to K'Anne's house in Malabon, but we dropped Sir Wil to his workplace before going to K'Anne's place. After dropping K'Anne home we decided to have a quick stop at Metrowalk since the night is still young (1AM). We went to Seafoofd Grill, and talked over a bucket of booze, sisig and baked oysters. I tell you their oysters are superb! At par with the ones from Mr. Rockefeller, Oyster Boy and Murray's in High Street. And after some drunken talking we decided to walk to 'wash down' the booze. We've gone to the Banchetto day on Emerald Ave, and tried hard not to get tempted with the food and tried not to smell like food! The air was filled with seafood aroma. Then we walked a bit further to find a drugstore but all we've passed by are already closed so we end up walking from Metrowalk to Crossing! We let Kitty get into her cab and then kuya Red and I stayed at a fast food and had our drunken sleepy conversation over a hot fudge sundae. Then at 4:30AM we then went our separate ways and headed home.

SATURDAY

I woke up past noon and (oh god) I missed the 12NN mass. My officemates and I had a SMS conference. We were finalizing our night out together. At first it was like stop and go but we settled at go. And so our Saturday night out was set. They were going to pick me up along EDSA near Poveda at past 8. But before I went to our meeting place I stop by the shrine and said my prayers. I also asked for forgiveness for missing mass, and for everything that I was about to do (e.g. getting drunk). Then we headed to West Ave. to spend a comedic night. It was really fun, the acts are really funny hilarious! And good thing that I capped off the night with only 3 bottles of Coors, some nachos and no drunk-related episodes for me and for anyone in the group. And take note I got home earlier, like two-ish early.

SUNDAY

The the most productive of all days. Though I woke up past noon again, I was able to squeeze some "laundry business", and tidied up my place a little. Then I got a text message from Kuya Red inviting me to watch a movie with his officemates. And so I did go, but we heard mass first. Unfortunately, I only understood a phrase or three because the presiding priest had this really heavy Asian accent. It was like Indonesian-Vietnamese-Thai with a provincial Filipino accent. That heavy man! So we had a hard time deciphering the words that he said.

At 5PM, we were still in EDSA shrine and we need to get to Mega (where kuya Red's friends are waiting) before the movie starts at 5:15. We were almost running just to get to the cab lane which is at the far end of Galleria. Luckily we got to the cinema at 5:10 but the line at the ticket counters are effing long, as well as the snacks section! Good thing we got to the cinema not long after the movie started. So it was still well and good for us, the running was worth it. (we watched Wanted, I know I'm late again, ok?).

After the movie we ate at Dencio's. THEN. I headed to work. Yes, I had a shift at work that night. And the most productive part is... I've acquired all the factories in Chocolatier 2! Huh! I'm very good at it! And not only that I also have more than $20 mil! I'm so rich! I spent 8 hours playing Chocolatier (shhh don't tell my boss). But there was nothing else to do that night... I made sure that I've finished all the reports that I need to do and I wasn't like not monitoring our dialers. In fact I did, and there was a supervisor who's really annoying he kept on calling for every 5 minutes. So annoying, specially when I'm playing Chocolatier! Hahaha.

Anyway, that's how my weekend was. My body was dead tired but my spirit is glowing. And I went to bed this morning with a huge smile on my face.

Lipstick Jungle ad Dates

It's Saint Valentine's Day, but no I won't be posting about Valentine blues, I had enough of it. Today the world is overflowing with mushiness and cheesiness combined. Wait, is there any difference between the two?

Anyway, I'm making this entry not because I have all the time in this world, but because I noticed that I haven't updated my little blog for quite a while, also I'm waiting for Lipstick Jungle to buffer. It's not that I'm a fan of the show, but because of the writers' strike there's nothing left on internet TV that I haven't watch yet aside from this show. So I thought of giving it's pilot episode a shot. I'm not going to make some sort of review for this show because I have only watched the first 3 minutes of it. Our connection is unusually slow today.

By the way, I have a post-Valentine date. It isn't a romantic date though, it's a group date and I bet my life that it is way cooler! This date is comprise of 2 guys and 4 gals, the Crazy MIS Buddies! After a few group dates, Sir Wilson, our IS supervisor before is finally joining us and we are all so excited about it.

We're going to watch a movie, have dinner and maybe at the same time watch the pyro olympics. I am super excited about our date. I always look forward to our get-together coz as always it is so much fun and very spontaneous.

Anyway, need to get back to Lipstick Jungle, and maybe get some sleep after watching it. I haven't slept since last night because of work (as always).

Happy Valentine's everyone! And happy birthday to Kris, John and Heart. (feeling close, i remembered them 'coz I'm hearing Boy and Kris on the background)

MIS Reunion

We had our little reunion today, unlike the last time we have more attendees today (+Rhostle/Kitty). Master Wilson couldn't make it because of work (work sucks, it gets in the way of everything!) and Elza ... we don't really know about her, she's been out of reach.

We met up at Mega, as usual we didn't know where we're going all we knew is that we were starving! We had late lunch at Cavana a Singaporean resto. We lingered for about an hour there even after we finished our lunch, we had so many catching up to do. We were really loud, I swear! After we left Cavana we still didn't know where we're going after, we made our feet do the walking and thinking. After quite sometime we decided to have our dessert at Cold Rock at The Fort Strip.

When we got at Cold Rock, we changed our minds, because we don't feel like eating ice cream anymore, we want cake! So our feet went on and on till we got to the Bonifacio High Street. We had our pictures taken at their 'plaza', and we strolled along the high street. But after a few rounds there we still couldn't find a place where we could have our cake. We walked a little more again and we landed at Piazza Serendra, we had another series of photo shoot and finally we arrived at Chelsea! We had our dinner there which is consist of pizza, cheesecake, Pavlova and the teas with a twist. We weren't able to get the best seats in the resto because there was a private party, we only dined alfresco but it was still fine. The food there is really great only the service wasn't maybe because they were busy catering for the private party inside. After our sumptuous meal K'Anne and Kitty left. K'Anne is the Cinderella of our group, she has a curfew at the age of 23! And Kitty left earlier also because she's meeting her college friends, I think.

After the two of them left Shein, kuya Red and I decided to stay for a while since it's too early for us to go to work. Our shift does not start before 11PM and it was only half past 7 when we finished our dinner. We decided to go to Market Market and watch a movie, unluckily the LFS starts at 9PM, we can't wait for that. We dismissed the idea, then we thought about wall climbing. But since I was wearing skirt, I decided to buy myself a pair of pants but when I was fitting some pants kuya Red said that he can't wall climb anymore wala na daw syang energy, he's sleepless like me because we both had work the night before. Again our wall climbing session is called off and is scheduled to another day when we're all energized and had enough sleep unlike today. After some walking, more likely dragging ourselves we were really tired and exhausted.

Instead of going straight to work, Shein and I went to my place and took a nap before going to work. And now we are here working our little butts, monitoring the dialer, uploading pics, in my case blogging and troubleshooting some problems here in the office. I know I won't be able to have my little nap tonight... I know tonight will be a very tough night. Good luck to sleepless me. But no regrets! I had so much fun! I had more than one good laugh today!

Seriously Anticipating

Yey! MIS Day!

We've been planning to get together with my ex-IS officemates and finally it will be happening today! The last time we went out together was the 5th of May this year, so it's like 5 months ago and it was only I, Shein, K'Anne and kuya Red. And today I am hoping that we'll have more attendees if not complete attendance. I am soooo excited! Ironically, we've been planning this since the last week of August I think but until now we haven't decided yet on where we're going. We only agreed to meet up somewhere near and accessible to all of us.

But I know whatever happens and wherever we'll be today it will be so much fun. As far as I can remember there was never a dull moment with these people... even at work! We just simply click! When we're all together we can make even the gloomiest day fun!

I can't wait to get off from work! I'll post here later everything that will happen today.
