bithday kick-off
it wasn't such a great f1 weekend for ferrari and by default for me but nelson piquet jr.'s win was such a pleasant but sort of prayed for surpise that i can't concentrate on the tour de france because i still keep thinking about it. hehe. and personal plans to go for a round of karting didn't push through either but enough of my sports weekend.i spent most of my weekend in alabang but before we headed south. i had the chance to laze around while reading mags and listening to my ipod. we - that's me, D and ma - also wasted some hours in power plant while waiting for each other and resto hopping because we had early dinners at different places. we bought some movies from the ruins in still goddamn bf. i took care of dinner courtesy of north park, D the ice cream and neil the wine. it was a fun sleepover peppered with a lot of comments from tipsy and sleepy kids, haha.
the next day we woke up to the sound of laughter and a lot of splahing by the neighbors. not to be outdone we went swimming too and as an added treat ate kc and baby caloy joined in. brunch followed. then the next thing i know i'm back in rockwell to meet up with steph for our sunday date. i can't believe she convinced me to buy 2 pairs of shoes in one day! the other one is her birthday gift to me but still two pairs and both high heels?! happy birthday to me indeed, haha. it was a pretty fruitful shopping though. i bought a pretty pearl necklace at sale price that i discovered, when i got home, would go well with quite a lot of the stuff i already have. steph also sort of forced me into watching the dark knight with her and stephen. i'm always like a kid when i'm the third wheel and it was quite reminiscent of an earlier experience with my college best friend grasche. the point is as usual i sit one row below, where i would be visible to my parents for two hours or in this case three hours, with junk food at hand. i look at the back before the movie starts just to make sure when joker appears and i get really scared i know that they are just right there. the movie was not as depressing as i imagined it to be so i was still in a happy mood come dinner time. if i love the food and your resto, rest assured i will come back. chinese it is and for the second time in two weeks i was at solihiya again.
so that's how i kicked off my birthday week - with my friends (thank you D, ma, teppy & stephen), lots of chinese food and doing things that i love i.e. reading, listening to music, eating, watching movies, "shopping" and just having a steady good time:)
