Day 15 - Paincake Patrol in the House / in the South

My friend Paincake Patrol booked a gig in the South so my friend M and I were obliged to attend. Kidding! We really like his music and enjoy going to his gigs and were quite thankful that he finally had a gig in the South so it wasn't too difficult for us to go and see him. In fact, we just walked to this venue after having dinner at my house. Fun Sunday night!

Day 14 - Pre-school Friends

Today my pre-school friends and I had lunch and an "art session" at Designer Blooms Cafe in Alabang. It was to celebrate my friend J's birthday. We ate at around 12:30 p.m. and started coloring pages of the booklets J gave us at around 1:30 p.m. We thought we were going to finish everything by 3 p.m., but lo and behold, by the time any of us thought to look at a clock it was already 5:30 p.m. And we only noticed because it was starting to get dark outside. I love how time flies when you're having fun with your friends. I also love that I've been friends with these ladies since I was 6 years old. :)

Day 13 - House Guests

Here be my brother's dogs Nicki and Ginger. They'll be at our house for the week as my brother and his wife and her family will be in Cambodia for a holiday.

I'm grateful to have them for the time being as they are super duper cute. :3

Day 12 - Some New Friends

Tonight was a little strange for me as I actually went out to a bar with some friends. And not in the South. :P This was taken at The Bourn Food Station on Taft Ave., Manila. And sure, it was near the university I used to go to every day, but when I was going to school there I hardly ever went out. I honestly can't recall a time that I went out at night during the time I was in college. Okay, maybe once, to a poetry reading, and it was actually for extra credit. LOL. As much as I would like to say that I was a nerd, I don't have the grades to back that up so I'm just going to say that I was really poor and lazy.

Anyway, with me here are M, who is an old friend by now, E, whom I met last year and M2, whom I met just a few weeks before this photo was taken. I know I always say that I hate meeting new people, but I really only mean that when I meet crappy people. :P When I meet people like M, E and M2, I do think about rescinding that statement.

Day 11 - Clown Cake

This rainbow cake (but it was named 'clown cake') from Epicurious at Shangri-la Mall was yummy. And it's so Instagrammable, too.

Anyway, I was at Shangri-la Mall today to meet with my former co-worker and friend L. We had lunch and dessert and coffee and talked about lots and lots of stuff. I think the last time we saw each other was at my birthday celebration in 2014. And we weren't able to talk much then as it was a "party" and there were other people around.

I wonder if I will ever get tired of meeting my friends individually for lunch and coffee. I don't think I will. I'm not supposed to anyway, am I?

Day 10 - Pasinaya 2016

The line to see the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra was so long, M and I could only get seats at the very top of the theatre. Hence, this very difficult and then turned out to be mostly worthless shot :P But I think our smiling faces are still able to convey some of the emotions we felt during this day. I say some because we felt a lot of emotions this day. A whole lot. Just ask me about it if you see me personally if you'd like to find out why. ;)
