Coffees and Lunches: ArSy Spontaneity

0

It’s another one of those spontaneous lunch dates with ArSy (Arianne and Sy tandem hahaha) at nowhere else but where I and Sy work, BGC. Arianne has Kitchen’s Best as one of her must-try restaurants in her list so it’s where we lunched.

Coffees and Lunches

0

Meeting people and eating while catching up must be one of the good things this life has to offer. I feel delighted that all throughout this year, I was able to squeeze in such meet-ups despite the corporate-slave-busyness I have. Sometimes one just need to unwind through talking to different people and maybe gain new perspectives, insights, get encouragement, or allow someone to absorb whatever emotion you may emit. Tapos ikain mo lang in between! Life can simply be that amazing. There is this feeling of being blessed with great people; this is besides having a very supportive boyfriend.

Another impromptu cocol night with my lovelies. I just got back from Hong Kong so apart from the catching up, I took it as a chance to give them my pasalubong and our “friendship necklace”. Haha! And by the way, it’s been quite a long time since we last had our coffee session in this Starbucks branch we used to frequent years back.

 

Missed my lovelies!

This post is dedicated to Renee Victoria Nievera, who just turned 30 years old!!! Weeee!! This lady is so special to my heart. Who would have thought that we will be really close. She turned out to be my confidante, an older sister I never had, and my bulliness-absorber! Hahaha! Though I bully you always, you know the reason why.... It's because I love you! Haha! I pray for more blessings for you and your family and your blossoming love life. Yikeeee! You've been composed and demure in your own ways. Stay nice, bright and positive person that you are. Keep inspiring people. HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Thank you for the sumptuous SumoSam Legacy Eat-all-you-can! Yayyyy!

Sabo-TIN!!!

0

Yay!! Finally, though a quick one, an eat-out with Tin pushed through! It was one nippy lunch-out at Saboten. It was a first for the both of us and we actually liked it. Since I’m not really a fan of Japanese cuisine, it was a good experience having tried out their tenderloin Katsu. Tin compared it to Yabu but I never had a chance to experience Yabu yet so I have no basis of comparison. Pero kung sa Tokyo-Tokyo icocompare, naman, so much better hahaha! All I know is that I liked the Katsu and enjoyed the unlimited cabbage. Haha!

One Saturday On Me

RV and Chat with their "loot bags"

Meet RV and Chat – my greatest supporters in my Wear My Design endeavour! They were the ones whoepushed me to it and if not because of their insistence, I wouldn’t have won and maybe totally gave up that dream. I thank God for blessing me with these two.

The Heat Made Us Do It

Nothing special. We just thought of being "healthy" for a really short while on a hot Friday afternoon! It felt like summer on August! Ang inett!! So we were Jambafied! Haha! Btw, this is Edna, my partner-in-crime, my confidante, my kadaldalan and my boredom-mate and busy-mate altogether at work. God has really blessed me with nice people!!

Spa and Steak

Our second bonding session since the last time we ate at Red Kimono! I got to spend Saturday with my fellow BA ladies. We decided to try-out Ace Water Spa at Pioneer, Mandaluyong. We have no photos as it was prohibited. We had fun being played by the water. It was a tad tiring though but at the end of it, we felt relaxed.

256. A Night in PJs

0

It feels like we’re high school all over again!! Yes!! Just hosted a slumber party last Friday-Saturday with my girls, and some of the guys dropping by too! Apart from me, being the hostess was second to the last to arrive shame on me I know haha, everything was funnnn!!! We felt like teenagers again! The girls were cooking and the guys were watching the FIBA Asia Philippines-Kasakhstan game or maybe catching up or just plainly talking among themselves. Sorry guys, no booze if I’m the one to host hehe. And I cooked my just recent tried recipe creamy tuna pasta. I guess it’s enough to feed our tummies. Hahaha! Beng prepared her ever favourite wicked oreos! And Julie topped it off with vanilla ice cream! Yummm! We also played Kinect Xbox360 Dance Central! We enjoyed it!!! Ang saya lang talaga! But at 2AM, the guys have to go and we girls were left to ourselves.

I love these two people! It was super fun spending a few hours of catching up and talking about things over FOOD of course! Sa uulitin! And hopefully we could spend an out-of-town or out-of-the-country together!!

231. First eat-out with these ladies...

0

June teambuilding is a dine-out at Red Kimono! Japanese cuisine to satisfy our taste buds. It's actually my first time to join the teambuilding with these ladies as the previous one was the time I had surgery. It's always good to splurge on food at the company's expense! Hahaha!

171. Quick Catching-Up

It's always a good time catching up with people you share the same interests with, people you care for and people who care about you. Sy and Arianne are two of the people I am thanking God for blessing me with. They never forget aawwww (kiligin kayo!!! Haha)

It was just a quick lunch catching up. Hopefully we get all the time in the world, the next time around. :)

148. It Didn't End There

0

Each time I eat out with the people I used to see everyday, it gives me that inner happiness. It just lets me know that I’m not forgotten and there’s still that bond that ties us together even though we don’t get to see each other everyday or as often as we used to. The saddest part of leaving the previous job is being somehow “detached” to the people, to my teammates and colleagues. I lasted that long (well it’s already long for me) because of the people! I feel giddy each time I am reunited to anyone of them! And that’s exactly how I felt when I had brunch and dinner (separately) with three ladies close to my heart! (Naksss close to my heart pala kayong tatlo).

I got excited because honestly, with my current job I don’t get to talk a LOT like I used to. Not that I talk a LOT but I used to hold a trainer post haha depensa agad!I’d sing softly to myself, and sometimes those are the only words that come out of my mouth for the entire eight hours at work. I do have officemates but it’s just different being the youngest in the team, you know I don’t have enough guts to bully them older than me. Hahaha. Or maybe I havent gathered enough courage YET. More so, the current role is so unlike the previous one, as a trainer requires a lot of talking. Anyways, eough of the blab but yeah I may already have a panis laway that I'm excited to see these ladies and talk to them! And it doesn’t help knowing that these ladies are not really on the silent-type range of people (they may look like they’re quiet but trust me they’re not haha!).

Wednesday afternoon. Arianne finally “woke up early” that day and as-fast-as-a-bullet decided to contact me and have lunch. I was given a millisecond to accept her offer or decline it. But she’s “the boss” who am I to say no? Duh. But really, it’s been long planned that we have lunch together with Sy supposedly but thank the fairies for waking her up early that day we finally had lunch together. Ok, brunch actually since we had it at Early Bird Breakfast Club. I absolutely missed talking to her!! But... I can't believe I felt all grown-up talking to her! We were talking about our careers! Seryoso tayo that time, Arianne! Haha! We could've just talked about KPop or books but career. The thing is we I still enjoyed talking to her. :) Sad that I only made use of my lunch break so our time together was limited. Arianne (and paging Symond Buso) let's please do it again, okayyyy??

133. A Forced Date!

0

It was planned by someone named Chat without I and RV knowing about it. Thus, forced! It was a holiday, anyway, that we didn't have a choice but to give in. Joke lang, Chat! It was actually a fun breezy day with these two ladies. Might I add that I am the youngest among us three and somehow gave me a 'refreshing' feeling as usually I am the eldest among a group. Binuking ang sarili ko! Idaan na lang sa face value -- people usually guess my age younger! O diba?

Props to RV for the effort of coming all the way from the North to bond with us here at South! And yes, nowhere but in ATC! :)

Pizza, pasta, colors and smoothies -- this is how I summarize how our day had been.

First off, we had our late lunch plus random talks over Cibo's pizza and pasta. Aaah I love Cibo!!

no. 99 nice!

It's, I must say, a nice week -- from tweaking my blog's layie until this point that I'm writing another entry.

First, there was less workload for me as I've completed one task the previous week.

Second, I got my pay and my bonus. I'm supposed to be filthy rich this week until the next pay but thank you tax, you owe me a lot. Because of the bonus, two of my shuttlemates, Remar and Tin, treated us to a sumptuous dine out. :) Life's sweet.

Third, I've managed to write a blog entry after five months! It's just a short one, enough to announce my comeback.
