explore makati

thanks to my bestfriend’s officemates for introducing these places to me.

1. som’s thai restaurant

who would have thought there’s a restaurant at the outskirts of rockwell drive which may actually qualify to be inside the powerplant mall? well, i never really knew it was there. but i still love cebu’s lemongrass. that for me, is the best thai resto in the country still.

 

2. distillery

after dinner, we went to this chill out spot! i never enjoyed drinking until i went there. nice ambience, nice music, nice crowd and very accessible. its just that the place is too small.

yogurt friday

finally met up with my former housemate after a couple of months of not seeing each other. of course, we planned to just sit down and have a lot of chats. we had our dinner at recipes and then dessert at red mango near the greenbelt 3 cinemas…

 

i sooo love their yogurt! i never loved yogurt but when i tasted theirs, its another fave hang out to be.

you’ll enjoy a cup of yogurt with choice of fruit for as low as 80php. now that’s healthy eating!

noynoy’ ad

i wasn’t able to catch this on tv yet but my brother told me about this station id-ish campaign of noynoy so i searched for it on youtube. according to surveys, he has a 50-60% winnability, quite high. and if ever, among the highest in the Philippine electoral history. in all fairness to him, there were no bad news circulating about him, and indeed te honesty of kris aquino has been loved by many.

this ain’t a city of angels

why do i always look for the goodness in every person’s heart when all the time i just get frustrated and disappointed? i myself is not a saint, so why expect it from other people. not everyone would understand, and not everyone will care enough to even try.

things were getting a bit more complicated. i’m in denial of a lot of things. how can some people be mean and get away with it guilt-free? maybe i’m just too naive. or maybe i just have to live a life with less expectations to avoid getting hurt. bow.

500 days of summer

“This is a story of boy meets girl,” the narrator says. “But you should know upfront, this is not a love story.”

a chic flick one shouldn’t miss. it may not involve happy endings and the real meaning of commitment, but at the least it tells us not to give up believing in finding our true love one day. that person may just be there all along its just that we don’t bother to take notice.

sigh!

shopaholic chronicle

for the past three weeks, me and my sisses has been sooo addicted to shopping. its like a habit that when we see each other we have to buy something we’ll be fascinated about. since the bonuses has been given early this year, im doing a canvass already of what to give to family and friends this christmas.

it was such a tiring week for me. ive been trying to beat a lot of deadlines yet trying to keep myself socially alive by attending different events.  but its really making me feel so tired.

and the only thing that makes me feel better is buying new stuff. so i bought a new pair of shoes which my bestfriend chose for me and a pair of earrings. i was even surprised to find out that trinoma has fabulous stores now like aldo, trunk show, mango, promod, and more. its just that i prefer the makati crowd still. hahaha.

spotted: regine of bench at eastwood friday evening then at trinoma the next day. hahaha. (she’s really pretty)

glee boys vs girls

so the latest ep talks about how the glee club members are becoming so complacent so mr. schu made them battle each other by performing a medley. here are what they got.

im beginning to be sooo addicted to this show! swear!

gossip girl is not that exciting anymore

i have been watching the replay of gossip girl replay this morning because i wasn’t able to watch yesterday since i rendered overtime at work. and so hillary duff has already appeared in yesterday’s episode. tyra banks was also one of the guest starring for that specific episode.

its becoming really boring. sigh! and i hope blair would just be over high school! finally, i don’t get it, they all appear more fashionable back in high school than in college!

funny, fruitful lunch out

me and my officemates went out for lunch at rcbc plaza. one of them just decided to treat me and the other to lunch because we’re giving so much kindness daw. or maybe it was just so sweet of him to do so.

anyways, we chose piquant. i don’t really know what cuisine of food they are serving but they are good, and healthy. and they say, it is where the white people eat. true enough, literally, they do eat there.

surprisingly, the person beside me happened to be the former prime minister of the country during President Marcos’ time. hahaha…funny

we just talked about sooo many things, like seeing the world in a new light, building friendships and relationships with others, choosing one’s battles, and basically never ending looking for our daily happy pills.

for my crowning glory

after the community work with hands on manila at the nueve de pebrero school, i went to megamall to have my lg phone fixed. but  im so stupid because i left the receipt at my apartment in makati so i had to go back to makati. hay such a hassle.

when i’m already equipped with the receipt and warranty card, i went to lg. they checked my phone but  was told that they’ll need to monitor it for 3 hours first before they could figure out the problem. as if there’s something i could do so i said ok. i deposited my bulky bag with my full week laundry at the supermarket then wondered what i could do. i thought i would just do people watching since there are so many activities going on at mega. there’s a chess tournament, product launch of samsung, forever flawless photoshoot, etc. besides its a mallwide 3-day sale as well. but the people are not as many.

i decided to eat at the foodcourt. i knew it would kill time because i eat slowly. i dont want to try to watch a movie alone, and i decided not to ask people not to go with me afterall. so i went around again. i saw tony and guy but inda hesistated they might be too expensive. i tried to do my christmas gift shopping but im not equipped with so much cash. then i found vivere salon.

the haircut is kinda cheap at 330 (senior stylist rate) and the service comes with a complimentary drink (choice of coffee, iced tea or vodka). and i soooo love my new do. anyways, i just really have to learn to blowdry. hahaha.
