out and about

guess who got her adaptor replacement? me! me! me! er, yeah. duh, right? HAHA!

i had a great weekend. i ate so much over the weekend-- a week's worth of meals combined altogether, actually. but it's not like i care. alright, maybe a little. :P

saturday was a blast. i met up with college friends tal, pao, bea, krish, ies, and chex at glorietta. poor tal had to wait for us for an hour at starbucks because i got there late. i had to hitch a ride with my sister and kuya john to makati instead of taking the MRT. yes, they're heaven-sent. and then when we i got there, krish and tal were already chit-chatting about jobs. yes, jobs. until now i find it surreal that a job found me before i hunted for one and i'm pretty happy with what i do even if i'm not yet full-time. slowly people came and then we had lunch at TGI Friday's. whoo. the cheeseburger was disgustingly humongous and i was already stuffed eating half of it. pao helped me with my fries but to no avail, i surrendered. we also abused the refills of softdrinks over our very colorful conversation in which we updated, reminisced, gossiped about a lot of things. there was a photo-op, of course. HAHA! before the movie we went to starbucks to kill time and talked for another one hour. i don't know why we drifted off to talking about drama in our lives but we did and bea and i got pretty teary-eyed. it's so normal of me to get teary-eyed when i talk about something happy or something sad. but it was fun! we all watched "Just My Luck" because it's supposed to be a feel-good movie. it was so-so, and then after the movie everyone had to go but Pao and i stayed to window shop for gadgets. we went to the Motorola store and couldn't believe that the cool-ass Motorockr is only 4000 bucks. HAHA! i rounded it off, of course but it's still pretty reasonable for a phone with iTunes as the mp3 player.

after paoie and i parted ways, i rushed to meet my workmates. it was my late birthday dinner thrown by our boss. he sends us birthday dinner money to eat out. it's also our way of meeting up to talk about work. i was still full during dinner at Italiannis. i only had a Pizza Margherita because i remembered Wolfgang Puck roaming the streets of Italy to find the best pizzerias in town. he ended up going to the pizza parlor who first created the Pizza Margherita (it was created for the king's wife Queen Margherita during the time). but it was too dry, the crust was too thick, and it would've tasted better if there was more cheese on it! i forgot to complain to the manager or wait, at least give them constructive criticism about the pizza. oh well! and then reggie and arbie wondered how the waiter could remember which glass of dalandan juice belongs to a customer because all the glasses look alike! so i sliced a small portion of the sliced dalandan inside my glass and decided to experiment if he'd get the glasses mixed up. i'd know if they got it right or wrong because my slice of dalandan had a portion cut off. but phooey. i guess the waiter was smart too because when we were going to get another refill, he came back with the juice pitcher. argh. there went my experiment. i was outsmarted.

we raided the Powerbooks booksale too. i got Womenagerie by Jessica Zafra because i like her. and we are alike in so many ways. the cynicsm and geekism, among the long list. and then there was dessert at Max Brenner's. i met with alej there, stayed a while, and then went to macapagal to meet up with my sister and kuya john. my sister and i got home past midnight.

it was a fun weekend, though. and who can possibly say no to food? i know i can't. :P
