welcoming 2008 with D
i'm not a big fan of chinese new year although i do have fond memories of this occasion. ever since chawi and i became friends, she always gives me tikoy during this time of the year. when i was still with the agency and had a chinese boss, we'd get tikoy and ampao with money.this year though, i nearly missed it. chawi is all the way in london studying. no more chinese boss to give me gifts. and then lunch time while i was at ash wednesday mass D texts "tal, kung hei fat choi ba today?" so i showed the text to mark and he said "oo, parang new year's eve" so that's when i knew. dinner time i was still working in the office and BF was online, he asked if i have some plans, by the end of the conversation D and i are set to celebrate in eastwood because supposedly it'll be fun there.
what false advertising by D! there wasn't any sign of festive activities in the area save for an unknown band playing in the plaza. oh well, we decided to have our own fun a.k.a. food fest! it was a friday so no meat for me instead i savored on shrimps, fish and lots of rice at dencio's in between lots of laughs and chatting. adri and edsel followed right about the same time we were about to finish dessert in jack's loft. i was so full by then i had to pass on the eat all you can breakfast at something fishy.
that's how i cheered the new year - with D, lots of food, more friends - and i wouldn't have it any other way (considering it was on a weekday).
