Kids these days.

We missed The Vow at Shangri-La so Megamall was our last resort.

We got there in time for the last showing and so did everyone else. The lines were ridiculously long at the ticket booths! Which was a complete turn off especially for her. She was really sad.

It was a good thing we noticed a Happy Lemon on our way up to the cinemas—we didn’t know they had one at there. We went back down and sought comfort :)

Also, we’ve been looking forward to trying their drinks (and it sucks that they don’t have a branch at Greenbelt/Glorietta yet) so it was definitely a pleasant surprise. The experience was not a letdown, to say the least. And we made a vow to come back and try everything else on the menu—then decide on our favorites!

We plan to take this seriously, we took home their printed menu and have crossed out / will cross out items we’ve tried over time. HAHA! Not that it matters.

Good times!

BonChon Chicken was packed.

So, we settled for Japanese after we checked movie schedules at the Cineplex and realized we had already missed the last viewing of The Vow that night.

The tables were full elsewhere.

I mean, we weren’t even trying to have dinner because it was Valentine’s, we just badly wanted to eat. So we ended up here.

We always get good value for their servings, anyway, and their drinks have always been fresh.

Oh, and we got the coolest table number! :)

Dinner before meeting up with Raffy to catch a movie—he was having a rough day. Xuds and I were set to watch The Vow but since he agreed to meet us, we ended up watching Chronicle.

Actually, days before, we’ve all planned to go ice skating that night but Tope chickened out HAHA! So there.

After picking her up at home and grabbing late lunch at McDonald’s Harrison Plaza, we headed off to Greenbelt to chill.

Realizing that neither Greenbelt nor Glorietta had a Happy Lemon branch, we looked around for the perfect snack—preferably something we’ve never tried together before.

Walked around for a bit but after we found no traces of Sac People bags and/or Aquazorb towels at Adora (we would later learn why), after I got disappointed by the available sizes of Penguin shirts at Anthem, and after drooling over chocolate creations at Sinfully, we settled at Razon’s Greenbelt 1.

Turns out, we’ve been missing out on their Pancit Luglug + Halo-Halo because they were just soooo good! Why we never chose to eat there before was beyond both of us. But we’re happy to have found a new favorite :)

(Seriously, I’ve been getting cravings since then, probably more often than she gets them HAHA)

We stayed for an hour or two then headed off to meet Raffy, MJ and Tope at Bonifacio High Street.

The most interesting thing happened on our way there: We got a free ride on the Fort Bus! HAHA! We weren’t trying to freeload or anything. But I’ll keep that story to ourselves for know ;)

So we got to Taguig, waited for them to arrive, got done with business transactions and had dinner at Brothers Burger. A day of food, free fun and friends.

Good times.

Of all our truest hopes and desires for our work is that, what we find, we ourselves never knew. It came as a shock. It came as a surprise. It was new. We could never have known what we were going to do before we did it, and in that sense, we discover too. Here is what I’ve got to say to you: there are things in your life you will see; there are stories you will hear; if you don’t write them down, if you don’t make the picture, they won’t get seen, they won’t get told.

After-work dinner. Obeying her Japanese cravings :)

Leaving

Spent time with Xuds and Tope while wondering if Bunch would still show up.

She didn’t. But it was nice, as always, to hang out.

Sunday

After church, I met up and went with her family to Robinsons Place Manila to have their family portrait taken. Then spent the rest of the afternoon and night together.

The first photo I took with my old phone after Xuds had it fixed from being unused for almost a year.
Of course, the photo has to be one of you.

All Saints Day

After spending the morning with her family at St. Therese Columbarium in Newport and having lunch at Mang Inasal Harrison, Xuds and I spent the rest of the day at the Mall of Asia.

It’s nice to look back at these photos and realize you haven’t posted them yet HAHA!

We wanted to have dinner somewhere we’ve never tried before and Capricciosa at Greenbelt 3 did not disappoint.

Except, I guess, for the noisy half-Pinoy airheads inggliseras at the table next to us.

But the food was good and we got stuffed so we’d rather remember that.
