On a high (note)

Friday was spelled C-E-L-E-B-R-A-T-I-O-N for us. It was the birthdays of my office friends, Irish and Dhang. We started off the day with some gift giving and a quick lunch at Sbarro in MOA.


Since we were psyched for the day, we also bought “matching shirts.” Mine read like this:

Here are some of the other shirts:

Later that night, Joven and I plus my office friends went to Music Match in Tomas Morato to sing our lungs out. Since we are RedBox regulars, this was the first time we’re trying something new. We were not disappointed!

We were given a big room (i.e., big space to dance around) and our own comfort room. The staff were very courteous… even the owner was surprisingly “game” in our little surprise. You see, we bought two cakes from Kink Cakes for our friends. One with a pair of big b**bs (because she can only dream of having such… hehe!) and the other with huge behind (she has one!).

Three of our friends picked it up from their branch in Timog. I was surprised when I was called by one of the staff because of a “phone call.” The owner was in the hallway and instructed me to proceed to the front desk. Voila! The cakes and my friends were there. To make the timing right, we had (the staff & owner included) to call Joven for another “phone call” (I wonder why nobody questioned that… hehe!).

In the end, the timing was perfect. The birthday girls were very surprised (one even cried!). After the candles were blown, the real party started!


We sang and danced our hearts out. Food and drinks kept pouring in. Ansaya!!!

We capped the night with a cup of vanilla latté in our favorite café.


It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…

Joven and I were supposed to go shopping for gifts at 168 on Saturday morning. But, because of a very tiring night, we weren’t able to get ourselves out of bed early. Shopping was moved to the afternoon. We’re almost done with our shopping but we still need to go back next week. We also need to go to the mall for additional gifts. Mahirap maraming kaibigan. Haha! It was definitely tiring. But for women, shopping is shopping. Hihi! The fun part – my husband was so kind to carry most of the stuff. =D


Since my friend mentioned to me that she’s addicted to Prime Suspects. I got curious. I begged Joven to download me a copy (with the crack, of course!).

Yesterday, Joven and I were playing it together. We finally stopped after 5 hours! Call that addiction. Maybe we’d get Huntsville too. Hehe!

Risky!

Dionne always jokes that if we’d met 5 or 6 years ago, we probably would not have ended up together. Here’s why (daw):


I think not! =P


Last Saturday, November 11, Dionne and I went to Gateway Mall to spend the Rustan’s gift certificates that were given to us on our wedding by my Nanay’s officemates. Items here are somewhat expensive for my taste… We once saw a nice box. It costs around 6k. I would not pay 6k for a box! I would rather buy a nice pair of rubber shoes. Hehe.

Dionne wanted to get a pair of Crocs for us. I hesitated. They’re even more expensive than Havs! They do look comfortable though… Something for Christmas? Could be.

We continued looking around until we found ourselves in the toys section. Dionne mentioned that she liked Risk so we looked for the board games there. I remember playing this with Benj, Cors, Ryan and Richie, and enjoying the friendly (aka competitive, hehe) atmosphere.

That’s why when we saw this:
We bought it!

Now, who wants to play?


For a long time now, we have been craving for Bellini’s. Friends have been saying that the food there was great and reasonably priced too! From Gateway, we made our way to that famous resto.



We were not disappointed. Sarap!


The following day, November 12, we met Cri-c and the rest of her entourage at the LRT-2 office at Recto. Judgment day! Aka, fitting day. Hehe.


No problem! Still sexy… ;)

Soooo happy!

I was bloghopping last night when I saw this!!!!

WOW!!!! Ang ganda!!! Mamatay matay ako. Pramis!!!

I was crossing my fingers that Fol will give it to us but I was thinking that maybe he’ll use it as a sample for bridal fairs or something. Waaah! I just lamely commented in his blog entry.

When I arrived at work this morning , first thing I did was check his reply.

He’s giving it to us!

Weeeeeee! Soooo happy! =D

‘Tis the season

Filed under: Jovenisms — Dionne @ 1:35 am

A few nights ago, I was awakened by vigorous shaking.

Joven was lying beside me holding my thigh and shaking it.

Scary thoughts flooded my mind. Emergency. Fire. Somebody broke in. A bad phone call. He’s hurt. My mom’s hurt.

I turned to him, “Bakit???

He said, “Wala, wala.”

Puzzled, I went back to sleep. Of course, I have to calm myself first.

The morning after, Joven asked me, “Naalala mo kagabi?” I said yes. Grinning sheepishly, he told me he dreamt that he was playing basketball.

Basketball season is back! Argh!
