Cate & Carl were in Manila for different reasons, so it was the job of their “localized” college classmates to give them a whirl about town last night. Rather than the usual Glorietta complex, we decided to show them the beautiful Bonifacio High Street. We had dinner at Abe, blended iced coffees at Coffee Bean […]
Minsok Garden (Korean Food Trip)
It was Caloi’s idea to have a weekly foodtrip-slash-bonding moment and try out a new restaurant every Friday night. Our first stop – MinSok Garden, a korean restaurant in Katipunan. Now I’ve been to Korea thrice and tried real Korean food in real Korean restaurants, but I think I had more fun here than there. […]
To Rome’s Next 30!
Rome turned 30 last May 30. We watched the movie Sex and the City on the 29th then had dinner at Rockefeller in GreenBelt 3. Then when she came back from VL on June 3, cluster 3 celebrated her birthday along with Odette’s return, Sharleen’s arrival and Jewel’s promotion with pizza, pasta and gelato from Amici […]
Exchange of Hearts
For this year’s hearts day, we decided to exchange gifts ala kris kringle. Rhea was the one who picked me and she gave me a really cute stuffed penguin with the message “When penguins find their mate, they stay together forever. This little guy will keep you company as you continue your quest for your […]
La Maison + Cafe Breton in Greenbelt 5
Kes was in Manila again, so we had a reunion dinner last Friday at La Maison, a restaurant in Greenbelt 5. It was my first time to Greenbelt 5 and boy, did I fall in love with the place. Such beautiful designs! I also loved the food in La Maison. The seafood platter we ordered […]
Cagayan de Oro and Camiguin Island {Deetour}
After my stint in Cagayan of the North, I visited the Cagayan in the South…Cagayan de Oro, the city of golden friendship. This trip was booked months in advance, and there were supposed to be eight of us, but two of our housemates, including the one who started this all, have gone off to other […]
From Swimming Pool to Kitchen to Bed
Cate and Roni, two of my best friends in College who are still in Zamboanga, are both here in Manila right now for a vacation, albeit with different companions. A dinner get together was set up for last Saturday, but before that, I invited Cate to be my guest in the Mandarin swimming pool. Maya […]
Rosalie and the Roses
After a long LONG time, the office gang finally had a chance to get together again last Friday night. Once again we booked a room at Millenium Plaza Hotels (one bedroom suite), checked in with food and drinks, and blabbed till dawn. There was just so much catching up to do! Keso had come to […]
Crustasia and Seattle’s Best
Maya and I went on our monthly dinner-slash-bonding date last night. We were supposed to try Captain’s Bar in Mandarin Hotel but there was a comedy show being held there and we were in no mood for comedy, so we decided to go elsewhere. We found ourselves in Rockwell and chose to eat in Crustasia […]
Singkit New York Chinese Takeout Food
A few months ago, Petron unveiled two floors of restaurants for the eating pleasure of Buendia-based employees. After trying Teriyaki Boy’s Japanese dishes, Ineng’s barbeques, and Pancake House’s breakfast meals, we set our sights on the newest addition, Singkit New York Chinese Takeout Food. We had some Hoisin chicken, sweet & sour fish, lechon kawali […]
