The plenary session was interesting though we weren't able to attend the whole thing with that overlapping time something like one started late and the other started on time and it was a mess coming from one session and jumping to another one in the next room being the latter was in the middle of the discussion while the former ended late. That sort of thing if you get what I mean.
And among the sea of strangers, academe, professionals, and government officials, we met some of our former professors. And I don't want to talk about it at all. *defensive*
It ended pretty much early with the cocktails being hold off for it's budget to be donated to the Yolanda victims. It's pretty nice a thought and would've loved to be able to help more myself given the chance. Well I tried but maybe not hard enough and I'm feeling guilty about it.
We checked in at Prince Plaza II Condotel this morning and we can't wait to spend more time with ourselves giggling and talking about the day's event. It is nearby the shopping center and pretty much accessible to all modes of transportation. We checked in before the conference and just returned afterwards. We had so much plan before like partying all night but it all burst into nothing when the day ended drained with the information overload we had and tired from endless walking. The room was compact. It's neat and not so spacious somewhat like a studio type where you can find everything in one place and there's not so many space to move from. Nonetheless, it is comfortable, clean and the interiors fills in pretty nicely.
Once settled in, as promised, I went on to Facetime Pagz to plan our Boracay trip next summer. Wiii! I can't wait and it's what? 5 more months of waiting!

| why so serious Pagz when we're making faces back at ya! lol |
It was a lengthy conversation and we're feeling comfortable with the bed while starving. Well, we gotta move it's not like the food and drinks will crawl over to us. So we said our goodbyes for now and promised to call back later once we've done some shopping. We went back to the mall to hunt for food and ended up buying Shakey's chicken and mojos set, then off to the grocery for snacks and beers. That's when my phone pinged that I received an email....And that! Pagz booked us the flight going home from Boracay at his expense! Yay! I can't believe he's spoiling us like that! LOL Thanks though. haha
Back at the hotel, we ate our supper, referring those chicken and mojos, then went straight to the roof deck to check out the pool and to have some drinks. And this nailed my obsession for roof decks, at least for the time being.
The pool closes at 11pm and ideally we can't stay up there after the pool closes for usage but luckily, thanks to Ate Heidi's charms, we were able to stay out for a longer while. We tried to call back Pagz up there but failed with bad reception in the area. Oh well, we'll talk soon and truth was, we're also chatting through facebook so what's the difference?
This is how life on a Friday night is supposed to be. Carefree, stress-relieving sesh with friends/family or whatever, a good company over drinks. It's a plus that we have privacy and a good spot to lounge.
All in all, it was a draining day with the seminar, exciting that we're on to the beach next summer, and amusing that we ended up skipping on the party scene tonight different from our initial plan.
Now, tomorrow is another day.. can't wait! xxoo
