It's almost 3 pm and I'm still hella full from lunch. To be fair we got back fairly late but still, I still feel like bursting from all that we ate.
Saturday is lunch out day. This time we went to Greenhills. Supposedly we were going to eat at Teriyaki Boy but we walked around and saw Little Asia. Kudos to their atmosphere it drew us in. I've never eaten there but RC has so he and Isko ordered for all of us. We had spring rolls, beef tenderloin with cheese, lamb stew, ribs and i forgot that other thing. Loved the rolls. Loved the beef. Loved everything. Haha. Isko paid for half the meal. Thanks boss! We wabshu!
Even if i was so full I was still looking for dessert. So we drove through Krispy Kreme and got half a dozen glazed doughnuts and ate it at the office.
So now I'm staring at food still in front of me that I can't eat or I might burst.
Do I abuse my friends? Coz they get me food. And drop me off at home.
The doughnut box came with a flyer for these special UAAP Final Four doughnuts. So basically it had UE, DLSU, ADMU and UST doughnuts. Want those. Will get those. Somehow. :D

Octoberfest was last night
And i wasn't there. Haha. What would I do there? I don't drink beer, I hate pushing through crowds and I have work the next day. Still we got our salary yesterday so we just had to go out to eat and drink a bit. So we headed to Pioneer and found a place to just sit back and eat. It was Memphis steak place (I'm really not sure what its real name was, suffice to say it had the word Memphis in it).
For a place that has steak as its specialty, well.. Didn't really like it. Tried the T-bone steak with rice. I don't know. It was sweet which is weird for me. The rice was crunchy and the veggies cold. Good thing I had my rootbeer to wash it down. Also tried a sip of Carlsberg chill, since K told me it was good. It tasted like beer. So there.
I am definitely not a gimik girl, but I do feel like dancing. For some reason. I can't dance for my life, but I want to go dancing.
Who was the last person I slow danced with? :P
I got denied by Happy Turtle again. Well, I got denied by RC and Isko and Ren who didn't want to go there anymore after we went to Pioneer. I tried since we were gonna take a cab to Cubao anyway.
No I am not engaged. Mom found my childhood birthstone ring and by the grace of God (and an adjustable band) it still fits. This has been with me since I was like 4 i think. Sure it's bright yellow gold but I love it.

Jumble-y thoughts
Never stop thinking about them, coz that's the moment they'll appear. When you finally thought you could be happy. Just when you start laughing again. One glimpse and your life promptly falls to pieces. It just goes to show you that you can't YM stealth settings appear permanently invisible to this contact your way to healing.
I'm ok I just want to send this thought out to a friend who just had their heart broken.
Reality is the leading cause of stress. that's my YM status and one that's taken to heart. Yes I live in my own parallel universe where I am blissfully happy and there is no hunger, no poverty, no war, no murder, no heartbreak, no betrayal. This parallel universe sustains me and I like it here. I may never leave. Reality is just too bleak to live in, to see. Why stress myself out?
The team is going to Boracay soon. So much for trying to lose weight. At this point it's too late to do anything and at this point I don't really care. Scratch your eyes out when you see me wahahaha. Love me love my rolls.
I've been told by my dear parents that I've been going out a lot lately. Really? You call two times a week a lot? Haha. I know. But I've been going home early doesn't that get me points? And i always have a ride home. I'm a spoiled friend.
Have you ever thought how much you've changed since you were a kid? I was confonted with that thought yesterday talking to one of my friends since forever. She told me about her shock about how some people have changed since we were kids and i had to agree. A lot of us have changed a lot. Some for the better, some, not good at all. I wonder what category I fall under.
Someday I may have the guts to show my pictures from elementary, but now, they're still under lock and key. Showed one to some of my officemates a couple of weeks ago and got a lot of laughter. So for now, I'm still keeping those under wraps. Just a hint, i was told I looked like a coconut back then. Now? I don't know.

Volaaaaree
A little clarification on my previous post, those are the same bunch of people, with just different characteristics specified.. John told me I dated so many people i got alarmed that he thought that. Haha.
Went to eat at Volare at Cubao yesterday. Was supposed to go out somewhere to drink but Isko was dizzy so him RC and me just went to eat.
Of course we went to Volare. We were talking about that place for days. Isko made it famous by mentioning that it played the song Volare over and over again, with different versions for variety. At first we didn't hear since there were a lot of people, but once the crowd thinned out, we heard like 4 versions. One fast one, one slow by a man, one slow by a woman and something else.
Had pizza and pasta. They had big servings so we just split. I liked it there. Seafood pasta and Parmesan and prosciutto pizza. Simple. Nice. I'm a big fan of prosciutto.
Didn't like the fact that it was so bright though. I felt like i was in an aquarium and the people who passed by the restaurant could see all that i was doing.
Maybe I'm just partial to Bellini's. :D
Tried to get them to go with me to Happy Turtle for dessert, but since it was a long walk they wouldn't go. This is the third time this place has eluded me. I will get to try their food. (Unless they've already closed in that case I will not be a happy bunny).
Now the song is still in my head. Volare.. wohohoho..

Bellini's twice in a week? How lucky am i? :D
I am a lucky girl. I started out the week at Bellini's on Monday and ended with it still on Sunday.. How does a girl get so lucky? By cajoling and engineering it that way. I was at Cubao twice this week, both times for the cheering competition. The first time to get tickets, the next to watch it.
With Jj we didn't get tickets but we were happy bunnies still. We finally got to go out after a loooong time of talking about it. After more than an hour of being in line and getting nothing to show for it, we headed to Marikina Shoe Expo to drown our sorrows in food. We were supposed to eat at Happy Turtle but it was closed. It was like 10 in the morning haha. So we tried our luck at Bellini's and thankfully they were open. Well technically, they weren't but they let us in anyway. Even if they weren't even in their uniforms yet. Even if nothing was cooked yet. Haha. Being so hungry we ordered as fast as we could, one pasta for each of us even if they had large servings. We even contemplated getting a pizza to split but decided to order if we were still hungry after the pasta. I got pesto mare and jj got scoglio. I love them both coz they were seafood. I felt so grown up then coz i ordered my favorite sweet wine for lunch with pasta.
It was a good thing we didn't order that pizza coz we couldn't even finish our pasta. We took half of it home and proceeded to go to three malls, Gateway, The Block and Trinoma. I helped pick Jj's new scent. It was like grass so he's all clean smelling. I miss his Aspen though.
Went to Trinoma next. Just walked around. Dropped by All Flip flops coz i wanted to look at something, but ended up going to Adidas and buying something else.
I told myself months ago that i wouldn't buy havaianas coz they're overpriced strips of rubber, but since i got a pair as a gift i've warmed up to them.. But since that thought popped into my head when i was in the store, i asked Jj to go with me to Adidas to try and look for the sandals i loved but didn't have the size at The block. I got the size and boy was i happy. Turns out i was the smallest size in adidas. I left with a grin. Went to the Block to get Mom caramel apples and by then we were exhausted from all the venting and walking around, so we headed home after.
This sunday we went to Araneta to watch the cheering competition with ate. Thanks to JJ for the tickets and the non interest of DLSU to watch it that we got tickets. General Admission so it was the nosebleed section but we went anyways. There were a lot of people outside when we got there still hoping for tickets.. deym.
Was disappointed at the UST routine. I know i could never do any of those moves in a million years though. The UP routine was flawless and impressive. They deserved the win. And to no doubt of all the schools they wanted this the most. You could almost smell it in the air. And since I was with ate, so we were at the UP crowd for the first part of the competition, then moved to the UST crowd for our performance. (what the, our performance?! feeling?)
UST got first place, UP won. And deservedly so. (Pardon my english my brain is fried)
Headed to national bookstore to get sugarfree tickets. Got the 100 tickets since the 300 tickets were sold out. Anyone who has 300 tickets and wanna scalp them I'm willing. Haha!
Went to Bellini's after for dinner. Was supposed to go to Happy Turtle but it was again closed (Do they not want me to eat there?) Ordered a bottle of wine proceeded to talk about Ate Ana's lovelife. Fun!

We stormed the gates..
We went to mass at Sto. Domingo this afternoon. What can I say, it was like coming home. My heart was just like, I"m back home. I love this church. I practically grew up there. I remember all the crooks and corners of it, i felt suddenly a kid again sitting there. I was picturing myself in my elementary school uniform waiting for the Our Father hoping that my crush would hold my hand. There were also images of all my friends walking up the aisle, ready to take our First Communion, going to the back of the altar to get ready to be collectors.
We even saw that the gate to Angelicum was open, right near SDB. I could see the tree I spent whole days in not going to class.. It was a shame we couldn't go in, as we were sneaking in the gate ate daw this guard getting up to ask why we were particularly going in.
Memories flooded my half awake brain and i felt strangely back to where i used to be, a naive kid with all the hope in the world.
This was a refreshing change from my week. I have been battling my conscience, thinking of all this grownup morality things that geve me stress and is making me lose my mind. This weekend thoroughly made up for it. Even if i was only half awake to enjoy it.
Thoroughly embarassing moment happened last Thursday. Got scared/surprised and burst into tears. I really don't know what came over me. I just went to pieces. Went to clear my head a floor down and found a couple of people who helped me breathe. Thnaks guys. Sorry if i overreacted.
Couldn't sleep that night (what a loon) and ended up sleeping at my station twice that day. Model employee weee!
Took officemates to Rodic's last night, went pretty well. They didn't rave about the place, but they didn't complain either so I'm happy. Also went to Drew's after. With a lot of trepidation on my and Karen's part after the last time we went there, but we had our fun. Escaped to Mcdonald's for a while. Then K arrived and the while turned to a long while, and before we knew it everyone was leaving and we were heading home. Early for saturday, but since we came from work, we were all pretty tired.
Rodic's is famous for their tapsilog. It's been at the UPD shopping center for years and it's been an institution for decades. It's not the usual strips but kind of like adobo flakes, and my brother loves it there. He says out of all the places he's eaten, that's his favorites. Out of everywhere. Me, i like it a lot. But then again i like UP. It's my food haven. I'd go there to exercise (like jog or walk) but i'd end up just going to my favorite places and eat.
And now i want ice cream. Green tea ice cream in fact. From Fruits in Ice Cream. I can get that from UP too. Wah..

New Beginnings
I guess I just feel like starting over today. New work month, theoretically my slate is wiped clean and i can start anew.
I love that idea right now. Being a whole new person. Not letting the past muddle with the present, and definitely not interfering with the future. I just feel bogged down with the past right now probably. I want to be brand spankin' new again.
Went to Batangas to Tito Jo's one year death anniversary last Sunday. Got up waaay early and sped up the highways to get to Sanpaga in time. We made it in record time, I think less than 3 hours even if we stopped off and got coffee and chips at Petron Laguna.
Oh God coffee. I missed it. I definitely made an effort these past few months to stay away from the stuff, but now I am wanting my addiction back. Got a simple decaf mocha frap with a hazelnut shot. Got that coz my usual raspberry tazo wasn't on the menu anymore and i wanted a bit of a coffee taste in my mouth. As usual I hoarded my snackable brown sugar packets and sipped blissfully at my sin.
Then when we got to Balayan we ate breakfast at home. I ate little breakfast but ate a lot of puto. Went to Mom's favorite manicurist and got french tipped. Then sped off to Sanpago to Tito Jo's house.
It was a smorgasbord. I ate and ate till I was full, and then I ate some more. It didn't help that everyone was plying us with food anywhere we went. They even gave us a lot of food to take home. We got huge bags of chicharon, packs of leche flan, and rolls of embutido to last us the week.
After we got home we headed to Kuya Pak and Ate Myla's since it was their first daughter's baptism too. Andee. Such an adorable baby. Also with such a sweet disposition. She was even smiling as she was sleeping. I wanted to pick her up so bad but she was sleeping, the tired thing.
