just the two of us

Just the two of us and missing our partner in crime we still pushed through with our annual Christmas night out.

Reserved a table at Straight Up Bar - another roofdeck resto and bar around BGC in Seda hotel. We are roofdeck obsessed at the moment or maybe, since forever! We just love the view.

Unfortunately, it was a rainy night. In between the time we had dinner and drinks we kept on moving in and out of the view deck area which is quite a hassle. We weren't able to settle down but we were able to talk a looooot! Drinks weren't that impressive and the food is just so-so. So yes, as much as we loved the view, we won't be coming back for more!

We didn't stay for long and just decided to spent the rest of the night at Starbucks near my former workplace in our favorite corner.

This is how we roll... work hard.. PLAY HARDER!

A midst all the stress on the coming year end at work.... 

who says we cannot party and enjoy a night together...

**sorry for the blurry photos.. somewhere along the night... my camera lens were clearly not clear.. LOL**

Together with our cool boss, the night was really a blast. And after our 3rd and a half bottles of Jack Daniels we're ready to call it a night. Skye is a nice place, pretty pricey but service-wise, food quality and drinks.. totally worth the penny! Ambiance and music is another thing though. Maybe it's just not my crowd but since I am with a bunch of happy people, who'll say I didn't had a great time? It's a plus that I am recently obsessing over some roof decks! 

We head out after some goodbyes and I ended up with Eloi, Ayen and Jong in search for some happy food or I might say, hangover food. So I wonder, why does it feels good to binge after a long night of drinking? Or is it just me? XD and just after we ate, we head on our own ways while I still need to keep my eyes open and attend the 6am mass. *filial duties* Some daughter I am! 

Ciao bello y bella!

This year was different. Instead of attending it with Ayesa I was able to coax the girls to attend with me. It was every bit a thrill. And guess what? This year was prettily distracting I wasn't able to catch much on anything discussed since we can't help but talk. This year's was conducted in InterContinental Hotel. Nice! But I still like it better in BSP. I just don't know, maybe it had grown into me.

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.

 We ended the night taking turns in the shower and as always calling over for some food delivery. And this never fails, hangover food in our books spelled "Yellow cab's chicken bbq pizza, chicken buffalo wings and pumpkin soup". It seemed weird that our supper only consisted of chicken and mojos while we cap our night with pizza, chicken and some soup. =D

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
