Buddy J, with M and K fetched me from work, and good thing that dad was in a good mood to let me go THAT early, I mean that never happens, and it actually happened! (do I sense some abusive tendency there? hahaha! ) We ate an early dinner at California Pizza Kitchen ( I just ate there last week , and here I am eating the same thing again! I'm not complaining, the food there is extremely exquisite )
After our early dinner, we went to Rockwell to shop around before watching the movie and waited for Bestbud J and beau to arrive. Then, we giddily went in the cinema, grabbed our seats and watched one of our highly anticipated films of the year - Spiderman 3!
The film lasted more than two hours, that's for sure. While it was a very good movie - I loved all the scenes, it seemed that Spiderman and Peter Parker's character development is really interesting, and with his relationships with MJ, his grandmother ( dealing with love issues ), and his ex-bestfriend, Harry ( whom, I might mention, is drop dead gorgeous ), and how he dealt with the nasty goo that made his suit black, and made his inhibitions surface. Overall, I was very satisfied with the movie - the special effects were superb, but just one thing - I just got tired from sitting from 8pm to 10:30 pm. It wasn't tiring to watch per se, it was an interesting watch while you were getting tired sitting there. The movie left me reaally hungry. My tummy's appetite is too strong, with friends who loving eating great food too.
We then rushed to Serendra, this really cool new strip at The Fort area, to eat dinner. We had planned on eating at the posh Gaudi restaurant where it is said to have exquisite paella and steak - two of my favorite food! I have actually recommended friends to eat there and bring their dates there, and it didn't disappoint at all. :) Well, to our dismay, we arrived there sometime around 11 o'clock and it was closed already! *sob*, so we just ended up in Duo, an equally great new restaurant that is well reputed for having the best steaks in all Manila. Woohoo. Love steak! We ordered three kinds of steak - one wagyu with escargot , one pepper steak, and one with prawns. I must say I loved the way their marinaded the steak with the prawns. The wagyu for me is a little too "marbly". It sure melts in your mouth as you chew it, but if it's not warm enough it may feel lardy. Overall, I enjoyed the dining experience even if it was almost a midnight snack. I enjoyed the company of good friends, talked alot about stuff, joked around most of the time ( with me being the victim, hahaha! ) and just spending the weekend with each other. I truly appreciate the friends that I have right now - God, I'm so blessed. I have a barkada from HS, two from college , my clients whom I consider really good friends, and special friends whom I meet up individually ( D, my favorite pal ) , and this group is special to me - we were friends since highschool, and still going strong! What I cherish most in my life right now? My family and my friends. I just think they're my most prized possessions right now. They never fail to make me feel good, help me and love me for who I am. In return, I give all my love to them :)
Speaking of material possessions, K is a total sweetheart that she gave this lovely pair of Havaianas Slim as a belated birthday gift last year. The one she gave me is plain white, just as I requested. I so love Slims right now because the thin straps look dainty on the feet, and just feel great! My first pair's a plain brown, my second pair's a Slim Season in tomato ( red with gold stamp embellishments ) and this is currently my third pair. Lovely! I plan to get this color (shown below) soon. After that, I might just stop buying Havaianas and move on with buying real-world shoes. They're just so darn comfy that I want to wear them everyday!
Oh gosh, after this blog, I'm back to answering emails again, and wait til I pass out. I prefer spending the first few hours of Sunday awake, and the next few hours totally asleep ( sometimes, the whole day can just suffice!
Lights off, by now. :)
