random dinner dates with friends

It was my friend, pinkmonster's birthday two Saturdays ago. I wasn't able to celebrate with her that day so as promised , we met up for a post birthday celebration five days after. I'm glad we did. Kaka-miss talaga! It's sad that Traffic Power didn't work out but nonetheless,we were able to start a personal friendship apart from our supposed professional relationship :)

We both love to eat so deciding where to have dinner became a little complicated because we had so & so choices in mind. We decided to eat dinner at Cyma, a greek resto in Shang. Sarap talaga ever! Opa!:)

We ordered my ever favorite roka salad. I can settle eating this alone. I love the caramelized walnuts on it. We also ordered beef steak kebabs, salmon with lemon zest and of course skolatina for dessert. We finished everything along with nearly four hours of catching up.

Happy happy birthday Aj! :)

I've read blogs about this quaint restaurant a couple of times already but never had to chance to try it. Our friend Hans was very eager to let us try Angel's Kitchen in Ghills. One of their clients and a family friend owns this restaurant. Pretty much, this is what my husband & I likes when trying out new places.

Ok, we noticed the people there were mostly chinitos! haha! Marielle & I could've left :D (kidding) The place is very relaxed and cozy. Food is reasonably priced (except for the dessert which I think - is very expensive at Php160/slice) & service is ok too :)

My husband ordered salpicao and tomato soup which were both very good. I ordered coffee and this chocolate dessert. My bestfriend Marielle had spicy spareribs which was really yummy & delicious!

Catching up on a Friday with college friends. Marielle, Hans with gf Rachel, Rodel, me & husband. Leejay (who btw, arrived 10,000 yrs after with his girl) :) Missing everyone!

Happy happy birthday to my super friendship Aj!!! :) I regret that I wouldn't be able to celebrate with you again this year [I owe you 2 yrs already! :( ] I'll make it up to you next week ok? Let's have dinner & celebrate! Enjoy your day sweetheart! :) I can't wait to see you after the makeover! :)

get CARRIEd away

I had my long awaited movie date with my bestfriend Marielle last night at Greenbelt 3. I know every chick in town is excited & giddy to see Sex And The City movie. I enjoyed the film so much and I can watch it over and over again! But on the other hand, I would agree why some people who saw it first were unhappy about the cuts. True, editing is kinda bad and yeah the film is R13 anyway so why have almost all of the adult scenes censored? :) Nevertheless, the movie is good as it is and yeah, I would love to see this film again! Can't wait when the dvd comes out! Mar,Tricia, Naomi... SATC night at my place?!

Singer/Actress Jennifer Hudson is really lucky to play the part of Carrie's Assistant in this film.

I love the dresses! I love the colors! I love the shoes! I love the bags! This ladies are so toned! And their at their what? 50's hahaha! Gosh, I better be serious with my diet now :D

Congratulations to my very good friend Tricia. She passed her NCLEX Exam. Yahoo! Don't forget me when your out in the US making money!!! :) Kidding! Let's celebrate when Naomi gets back from Paris :) I'm proud of you sweetheart! :) Big hug :)

cupcake craze

My friend Tricia ,who is currently based in Ilocos came to visit Manila last weekend. We watched Avenue Q play Sat afternoon then we went to Serendra @ The Fort for Tricia to see the place & try out Sonja's. She's been craving for it when she came across a number of blogs about these cupcake craze...

This tiny restaurant gets really packed.. the cupcakes are a bit expensive (around Php80/pc) actually but I read in one of Sonja's interviews that she uses imported French Brand ingredients and that is the reason why her cupcakes are a little pricey.. Hmmm, tasted it finally! And the verdict? good enough for a once in a while treat.:)

Months of ym messages and were finally here! :)

(7/22) with my high school friends, Tricia & Naomi outside Serendra.. :)

Must loved. Perfect for my afternoon tea. Tricia found the cupcakes too sweet but they were just perfect for my type of dessert :)

It was my first time to try Sonja's also. Too bad Jp & Kyle wasn't with me at that time :( I'm sure the boys will love the cupcakes also! I plan to go back with them soon :) This is one of the rare times that I went to try out a new restaurant or food without Jp. We go together most of the time because this is one hobby that we enjoy doing together.

Naomi & Tricia tried Chelsea for early dinner but I was a a bit unhappy about their service. Duo & Portico pa din talaga ang the best! :D Nevertheless, I am happy for this very quick but productive & memorable get together! :)

Sonja's is located at SERENDRA, Fort Global City.
