I’m now fighting the urge to take a nap here in the office while at my station. I came to work today, a rainy Sunday at 6am without much sleep. Ceasar even had to accompany me on my way to work kasi baka makatulog daw ako sa bus at lumagpas ako ng office. What a sweetheart! <3
But I think the headache I have is soooo worth it. I just had a wonderful night with my best high school buddies, LA and Gran and our beaus.
LA arrived with Genere and Tita Anna (her mom) last Thursday, July 24th. It is her second time to come and visit us from Australia. We will finally have the chance to meet her boyfriend of 6 years and fiancé, Genere.
We decided to meet up in my favorite café, Baang (pronounced as Bang) Coffee in Tomas Morato. (I suggest that you try their Black Forest and Death By Chocolate – they are really delicious but not as expensive as the other coffee shops that most of us came to love.)
Gran suggested that we have dinner at The Red Crab, not that far from the café. And it was the perfect choice for all of us. People who are really close to me know that I am not a big fan of seafoods but the dishes were awesome. I just had to try them.
We had sisig and tofu, chicharon bulaklak and calamares for our appetizers. We then indulged to seafood paella, Bacon wrapped Camaron Rebusado with Saffron Rice, Steamed Milkfish with Laing, Male crab (I had to emphasize on the gender of the crab since Gran really wanted a female one. =D) and lots of garlic rice. And my favorite: REFILLABLE ICED TEA!! Woohoo!!
The food are a bit pricey but I think they’re worth it because the place is great, the staff are very courteous and accommodating.
NEXT STOP: ZIRKOH Timog: to watch JOHN “UNIVERSAL SWEET” LAPUS’ birthday show
Genere and LA found the place too crowded and asked us if we could go some place else. Genere wanted to watch a Live Band so Gran suggested that we go to Mugen in Metrowalk instead.
AT MUGEN
I really liked the place. It was not that jampacked considering that it was a Saturday night. URBAN NATION was one of the featured bands that night and to my delight, all the bands are playing R&B songs. The night got better and better by the minute. =D
All the bands were great but I really find URBAN NATION the best since they performed most of my recent favorite songs – J. Holiday’s Suffocate, Usher’s U Remind Me, Nice n’ Slow and Love in Da Club, Chris Brown’s With You and Trey Songz’ Can’t Help But Wait. Also, I found that my friend, Paulo is the drummer of the band. I’ve always admired this kid for his talent and humility. I know that he will go places.
Once again, we had drinks and sisig (sizzling this time) while we groove to the music. We left Mugen at around 2am.
It was a wonderful evening spent with special people who I am so blessed to share my simple life and a beautiful friendship with. Too bad, Apol wasn’t able to come home around the time of LA’s visit. We would’ve a grander time with her and Darwin.
LA, Genere and Tita Anna will be leaving the Philippines on August 9 to spend the remaining 2 weeks of their holiday in Singapore and Malaysia. I really pray that they have a safe and pleasant trip going to their next stops and on their way home back to Australia.
