with Monday/Friday girl
chowking/unit p02
i was debating whether to stay home or to join fashion friend and adri when i got a text from my dear chelle. we ended up spending the night eating halo halo at chowking and watching sports while drinking beer at my place. you might say that is such a guy thing to do but i guess that's one reason why we both get along so well, we both love sports that's why it's a great bodning experience for us too. oh and is it also a guy thing to exchange texts with someone who has the same family name as one of your best friends? (inside joke! hehe)

classic cuisine/unit p02
the sunday club special edition: kara's send off was a good one. i was so happy to see dych with sister in tow! (it's been quite a while) the food at classic cuisine was also delish with special mention of the pandan rice, the quite oily pancit molo and of course the all time favorite (snicket being one of its loyal fans) leche flan. after dinner we were off to my place for some drinks and junk food fest and again some sports on tv - the disappointing F1 european leg and the very long beijing olympics closing ceremonies.
it's been nice to have been with the company of friends at times when you know you need to be around people. work's fine but i have to be more focused and sometimes the only way to do that is to take a break, step back and re-charge. my lola (youngest sister of my lola) passed away and i'm not about to rush home because it won't really change anything. she'll be more proud of me if i can keep myself together even during times like these. my lolo's farm is affected by the milf conflict so it's hard to be detached when i watch new these days. i'm not sad. there is really just so much going on that sometimes i just want to not think about these things. so i'm fine, really, with some drinks and as long as i keep the faith. rock on!

a very special sunday...
“with my very special friends”
August 4
Power Plant Cinema/Zaifu/ Press Café/Starbucks
i told myself though that the sunday club will not be cancelled, rain or shine! and by 230 pm it was confirmed, we're still on. gem and val were already in the mall. as soon as i finished mass i checked the cinema and i frantically texted everyone to get here as fast as they can because apparently a lot of people in rockwell wanted a piece of john lloyd too. the group date was composed of me, rich, ma nelia, cile and chris (and dych who never made it! sayang the seat beside me, haha). in case you're wondering gem and val refused to watch the movie and they missed quite a lot of laughs and some kilig moments, makes me wnat to sing kailan of smokey mountain. hay, i'm so cheese but what can i do? john lloyd looks gorgeous in his close-ups. anyway after the movie we decided to meet in zaifu where adri, who already watched the movie, didy, B and my college best friend grace joined us. the rain was still pouring outside but it wasn't going to stop me and eveyone else from cherishing this long table moment. those who can stay had dessert at press cafe and then B had coffee at starbucks where we shared even more laughs and stories.
a very special love was a lot of cheese and i realized how when i have posts about the people i love, i get so cheesy too. i guess that's just the way it is, when you're full of love then you've got lot of cheese too ;)
at zaifu
with the very special people in my life :)

still a happy birthday to me
mood for the week: my birthday has passed but i'm still happy:)here are some of the extended celebratory activities...
my officemates surprised me with a decorated corner, a personalized cake and ice cream which equates to an impromptu snack party, card and best of all ferreros! it was really something unexpected in fact they almost caught me dozing off, haha. later in the evening i had a last minute meet-up with D. it was fun eating home cooked dinner at home and just talking about goings-on in our lives. i also am proud to report that i think my fashion sense is improving because she loved all the clothes i bought her!
my achi marls dropped me off truffles and that made my tuesday. i had to text her that the chocolates i received means that there will be so much sweetness in my life;) so it was too good to be true when i really, really enjoyed the daughtry concert later that evening. again it was courtesy of sunshine girl and to repay her we ate the roasted chicken i bought from rustan's on our way to C5, how jologs, haha. but FUN!
i was ready to go home early when my dear B gives me a call to say we can spend the evening together and so we did, and of course because it involves me, over good food. dinner was at sumo sam where B got a good laugh when i said "i said eat properly i didn't say eat right, i meant we can eat all what we want" and to prove i meant it i ordered my fave in ucc to cap the night - chocolate xanadu and B loved it too.
it was a rainy thursday, a perfect time to be trapped in apartment 1b with my constant companions in the office for my birthday treat to them. jessica zafra also gave a talk about writing for yourself and it turned out to be a good one. if you see me blogging more often, you know who to blame;)
now i'm still in my first ever studio shoot and i'm actually enjoying it. it's been a while. times like these i do think to myself if i really want to tbe in the middle of all this chaos and then the adrenaline rush kicks in and the answer, so far, is still yes. i'm still getting my groove back and it might take time knowing that i have been used to the laid back lifestyle that i have gotten used to but i'm getting there, to getting the hang of things again;) ask me again early next year and i think i'll be pretty sure by then but then again as JZ said sometimes you just have to make the decision. she's right, if you're right then great if not there's always that challenge to make it right again:)
july was good to me but a clean slate for august will be great too ;) stay happy dears!
