complex Friday...

I consider last Friday as the most complicated and busiest day I had for the past 10 years. It is complicated because of the many unexpected about that day –involving work, co-workers, family and errands. And it was the busiest because of my current workload, my involvement to the company’s Christmas committee, fixing my chaotic schedule the following day, night out with friends and date with my hubby, which is the least of my priority that day…lol!

My day started with a not so good lunch. It’s because I have no packed lunch, I content myself with a regular serving of Gyudon from Yoshinoya. If I had a little choice, I would go for Tokyo Tokyo for the tastefulness :)

The good thing eventually happened after a long day. I was able to spend some time with my office friends and we had a very pleasant dinner at House of Minis in Greenhills Shopping Center. It was my consolation after all the trouble (?) I came upon that day. And it was really worth rewarding, none of the service, the food and the setting ever made me disappoint. In fact, it made me smile.

Wanna sneak peek what we had for dinner? We had specialty of the house –prime cuts served with sizzling soup of the day, salad, dinner rolls and dessert.

Vegetable soup, dinner roll and macaroni salad was served in order. I wish they can offer unlimited dinner roll and vegetable salad instead of the usual :)

I had a regular Porterhouse, my friends M had T-Bone, and A & C both had Tenderloin.

Last was our dessert, a scoop of ice cream, which you can trade for a cup of brewed coffee to complement the filling dinner.

It was a relaxing night for all us, or should I say a calming night for me. Before 10pm, we bid each other a happy weekend. Oliver was waiting for me then at the parking area and we went ahead our way…

blogging at WTC...

It's Sunday today and as early as 8am we trooped our way to World Trade Center for the Pacquiao-Cotto live feed. Did i told you on my last post about Oliver winning two free pass. Well, good thing it's free so we don't need to buy a slot to movie houses and other participating resto of this event. Honestly, im a bit sleepy now but this guy seating infront of us irrates me with his boastful and loud laughs, oh my! Anyway, the good thing is the Pacquiao-Cotto fight will start shortly following the announcement of the organizers. And what follow will be a delicious lunch at MOA... I can't wait :)

Super Friday!

My date with my old time friend, Gem, was long overdue, so, last Friday night I reserve the whole night for him. There, Oliver and I met up Gem, dinnertime at Super Bowl of China Glorietta.

It was a non-stop talking, laughing and storytelling over the flavorful Chinese cuisine. The food was a little usual for me since we had been eating in Chinese resto for the past weeks (Ling Nam dimsum night out and Sunday Le Ching dinner); nonetheless, I enjoy simple ambiance, uncomplicated eating style and filling dishes.

We have --


Fried Crispy Chicken P285.00 and Lechon Macau P205.00

Birthday Noodles P245.00

Seafood Chopsuey P175.00

We ordered Yang Chow Fried Rice P199 and Bottomless Red Iced Tea P79.00 to complete our set.

Everything was on Gem as well as the 6750 Red Cups we consume right after that savory dinner.

peppermint mocha is back!

We call the night, or should I say morning at 1am. We drop Gem at Roxas Blvd then we head home with these Christmassy feeling. I look forward on seeing more of my Piltea friends this coming holiday season.

PS: Thank you Gem for the wonderful dinner! and ooops sorry for the poor reso Mr. Sony went off to KL over the weekend with my friend M.

A year ago...


Same date last year I was on a pleasure trip with ICS colleagues in Hongkong, my second time. It was a 3-day vacay, a short one but too loaded that I wish we could spent another day exploring the city. I even wish Oliver were with me, he would probably enjoy the Disneyland adventure much as I did. And he would love the Chinese cuisine and the street foodie as well. He would pretty enjoy the thrift shops in Mongkok and Tung Chung and the lavish shopping at Nathan Road too.

Oh my! I can’t wait for our vacay together on this little island where East meets West :)

Station ID

Have you seen ABS-CBN’s Christmas station ID? If you haven’t yet, you had better see it (the full video); it’s very touching and meaningful. It went so lively and merry with the song Star ng Pasko which I am posting here.

Star ng Pasko
Performed by: ABS-CBN Artist

Kung kailan pinakamadilim
Ang mga tala ay mas nagniningning
Gaano man kakapal ang ulap
Sa likod nito ay may liwanag

Ang liwanag na ito
Nasa 'ting lahat
Mas sinag ang bawat pusong bukas
Sa init ng mga yakap
Maghihilom ang lahat ng sugat

Ang nagsindi nitong ilaw
Wala iba kundi ikaw
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko

Tayo ang ilaw sa madilim na daan
Pagkakapit bisig ngayon higpitan
Dumaan man sa malakas na alon
Lahat tayo'y makakaahon

Ang liwanag na ito
Nasa 'ying lahat
Mas sinag ang bawat pusong bukas
Sa init ng mga yakap
Maghihilom ang lahat ng sugat

Ang nagsindi nitong ilaw
Walang iba kundi ikaw
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko

Kikislap ang pag-asa
Kahit kanino man
Dahil ikaw Bro, dahil ikaw Bro
Dahil ikaw Bro
Ang star ng pasko

Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko

Ang nagsindi nitong ilaw
Walang iba kundi ikaw
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko

Ang nagsindi ng ilaw
Walang iba kundi ikaw
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko

Ang nagsindi ng ilaw
Walang iba kundi ikaw
Salamat sa liwanag mo
Muling magkakakulay ang pasko

Dahil ikaw Bro, dahil ikaw Bro
Dahil ikaw Bro
Ang star ng pasko!



I would always be a Kapamilya whenever, wherever, whatever…

Maligayong Pasko everyone!
