After 5 loooong years!

After maybe a hundred of 'See you soons and miss yous', a couple of 'maybe next times' and dozens of failed attempt to meet.... finally, we were able to see each other!

happy birthday Laurie-ah!!!

Since I was out of town and a bit busy with myself these past weeks, it's only now that we get to celebrate Laurie's birthday. And because I was a bit spoiled with Laurie, I get to pick which food we eat! I want some sushi and maki!!! And he suggested Yakimix, the one newly opened in Robinson's Manila or Ermita or wherever that is.. so far from home.. Indeed, a little sacrifice for friends.

And because it is me, who's the very reason why we're eating there.. I can't back out even if I was stuck at work for hours and already wanting sleep at home. Going there..well.. going there.. forget about it. I was a little lost but props for me.. I find my way on my own! Just in time! I made it just in time. The weather was really warm and I really don't like it. ugh! Another little sacrifice for friends.. 

"the birthday boy"
he'll kill me because of these candid shots! hahaha

We ate our hearts out, chatting and laughing. And as much as I don't want to admit it... I really missed their company. Somehow, no matter how different I was to them, we missed each other and also, because it is only recently that Laurie and Tiffanie is shying away from complications. I am happy they've come to be friends again. Feels like forever since we shared time together without awkwardness. I miss how close they were and it's good that they're catching up again. I am really happy and I can't keep it to myself! 

Having no sleep.. and a little exhausted from work.. er.. I forgot their birthday gifts! I swear I propped it up in my bed ready to pick it up before leaving the house. I just don't know why it slipped my mind. Me and my scattered brain! toink! 

As much as I wanted to stay regardless of how exhausted I am, I can't because my nagging sister (replacing my Mother) was so persistent in bugging me to go home. *sigh* I understand why and I had no choice but to give in. One more round to the department store to by a baking pan then I'm out of there bidding farewells and see you soon.. 

Happy birthday Laurie!!! thank you for the generous meal! ♥♥

Tepie day!

We went out and play in Mall of Asia.. er.. another sleepless day, straight from work I dropped my things home then head to Mall of Asia, for Tepie's birthday treat in Lugang Cafe. It was crowded at lunch and I was late. hehe.. sorry! Mall of Asia is really far from home.. er.. plus the traffic.. I'm meant to be late.

We had a happy lunch and a happy tummy! Thank you Tepie!!!

Remaking the scene back from when I was in Korea and my sisters and cousins are having fun back home..
Dynamite, booze and wine.. hmmm.. sounds nice and taste even better! took candid shots of them while doing the dynamite.. cutie people!! I may not miss the place at all, but surely, I miss my loves.. ^_^ dead tired from work and then date without sleep.. but still keeping up with them for an awesome family night. cheers!! ♥

typhoon and noraebang (08272011)

Finally, the meeting pushed through!!! ahahaha... after a month long of my fickleness.. =P
The initial plan was an overnight out of town similar to last year...

Then it was reduced to an overnight escapade in the city.. hotel and all plus drinks! and then it was reduced again to just a whole day affair. Almost came close to cancelling it too just because I wasn't in the mood for it.. lol. Good thing it was not cancelled..

Now, the plan for the day was...... to meet in Eastwood City at 2pm!! what happened?? I was late, they were late and everybody's late but Shobe! haha.. ^_^ (some wasn't able to come by the way, and some had second thoughts on coming.. no name drops nalang.. hehe)..

I'm really sorry for Shobe, he waited yet again, for an hour for me.. I didn't mean it though, I fell asleep what can I do? (me again being defensive?! lol.) Good thing he called! woot! or else he might be waiting there for more than an hour or so! So we met and then headed to Cubao.. (it was rainy 'cause of the typhoon) Eilan and Ayesa were already headed to Eastwood City (another late peeps.. who requested it to be early again?? tell me?? who?? =P) as everybody knew it was the meeting place.. But I think I unconsciously diverted it?? (is there such a thing?) because we, Shobe and I, have not eaten yet we thought of having a meal first.. then texted Ivan and Irish on the way and learned that they will be meeting in Cubao too... so we thought of meeting Irish and Ivan in Gateway, waiting for them while we eat our food.. Lots of laugh.. super! I was a full time laugh-er! (or maybe I'm just shallow. lol. yes I am! or I think I am! haha) I missed seeing them and laughing with them.. Plus the bullying part on Irish's account.. (sorry Irish, but it's really funny.. don't take it personally though.. ^_^) Catch up was the first thing to do, intrigues came next and what to do was the last thing we thought about..

We hadn't left Teriyaki Boy because Ayesa asked Eva to meet us up in Gateway and come together instead of Eva going to Eastwood alone. If I was late, Irish is later, Ivan is latest, Eva is.. hmmm.. what's next to latest? jk! ahaha..

with Irish and Ivan

reminiscing a shot from a long ago pic.. hahaha (see below)

Paskuhan '07

So we took a cab just then. (as the heavy rain falls.. woot! hello typhoon on a long weekends???? I die! Now, I expect myself to be stucked at home!) Irish and I together, then Ivan, Shobe and Eva together.. Oh well.. Irish is not feeling well, so as we arrived in Eastwood, off he goes to the lounge and off I go to Watson's to buy him meds.. too bad I left my med kit he should have saved 14pesos for that..

Back to the date, I met Ayesa and Eilan in front of Eastwood Mall, then we went together to meet Ivan, Shobe and Eva.. Waited Irish for a while and then off for a milk tea at Happy Lemon's.. (I'm not a fan of milk teas.. so I didn't bother to order myself...plus, I'm still full from my Maki roll and mango shake..)

Eilan, Shobe, Eva, Ayesa

with.. Eilan, Irish, Ivan, Edrick, Eva, Ayesa

We spent just an hour there because of Ayesa, Eilan and Eva. huge BOOO! It's like pass 5pm when we saw each other and they need to leave at 6pm?? oh well, what can I do.. =P So they left and off we went to Metrowalk for some serious business.. hahaha.. They like to do videoke and I don't sing!! heeelppp!! =P Can't describe it but it was really fun.. I laughed most of the time and kept on texting and updating Ate Heidz where to meet.. She's my only hope to keep me from singing..  My last hope to save me! haha.. We had drinks and lots of food! Nice! ^_^

one of the Boys

'BigBoss'

'Shobe'

so called 'Master-Idol'

i forgot to set the flash to automatic--my bad! (blurry)

Irish caught in the act!

Shobe singing Moffats's If Life Is So Short

Ate Heidz arrived a bit too late? past 8:30pm so we extended for another hour.. and we sang together! My goodness!! I sang!?!! Thought I would be saved, but I was not! lol. we sang, they sang ----with their favorite background with the note 'This should not be viewed under 19 age' (look at the grammar people of the bar)---- What was really funny was, when one of the waiter came in to adjust the aircon's temperature as requested, he did intentionally change the background video! hahaha... can't help but laugh! c'mon! Even we can't believe it! We're like 'pinalitan nya?' 'pinindot nya ba?' 'Bakit naiba?'...lol. It was not me asking though.. hahah.. It was awkward reading lyrics with such background, but funny hearing comments.. hahaha.. Even Ate Heidz and I have a fair share of 'THE' comments too! omo!! We still prefer MEN we just know how to appreciate the beauty of the same species! hahaha..

Happy snaps!

Finally Eonni arrived!

hmmm... excess shot? lol.

wacky?

can't get the perfect shot! er

one more try..

another....

work it Irish!

hopelessly wasted! hahaha

At the end, it was a not so gloomy day as the weather was.. Laughing, singing, drinking.. FUN!
(we went home before 11pm... Ate Heidz and I felt oldddd?!!!! ---too early to retire the night with just that! haha.. but we're both tired, I have 1 hour to no sleep and she on the other hand, came from work super early that morning, so we just sucked it up! plus we need more (돈)! lol.)
