birthday post one…

aruba, metrowalk

we, the indigo8 peeps (mp, don, sir herbert, ms osang, mr. robert, ms. heidi) went to metrowalk… it was actually my first time there (surprisingly, yes). we enjoyed the live band there (powerhouse)… haven’t heard really, but i was pretty much impressed by their vocal artistry and prowess (2 female, 1 male vocalists)… it was also fun when my indigo8 friends and the band recognized my birthday. the place was really cool, unless you’re expecting dance floor action, the ambience was relaxing – for light fun. i wasn’t supposed to drink alcoholic bev for 6 months (let’s just say it was a promise), but i wasn’t able to resist 1 bottle of san mig light. even though it was just 1 bottle, each drop of it somewhat felt like a pitcher of bliss. i really couldn’t get over the bittersweet after-taste, and to top it off, we had spicy garlic mushrooms, hickory (eklabu) chicken wings, steamed flavorful oysters and classy calamares.

bencshoppe, sm north

(download JL benchoppe wallpaper, haha)

as a gift to myself, i bought a shirt from bench. it ain’t the fanciest shirt, just a plain shirt with a big “20″ scribble in the middle. bench had its 20th anniversary, but for me, it’s my 21st birthday. sorry na lang, walang “21″ na shirt eh. i also bought 2 polo shirts from penshoppe. just watch me when i wear them (hehe).

big shots, quezon ave

big shots is my favorite billiards place. although i’ve been to different billiard halls before, even some more elegant, i have learned to love this place. they have fast service, live band performance, good food and cozy seats on the sides. i was with jec, bert and edcha, and played there for 3 hours. next to my kuya carlo, jec is my favorite billiards opponent/buddy. nakaka-challenge kasi and marami rin ako natututunan.

i also thank bert for giving me a copy of the calvin and hobbes sunday pages (1985-1995) comic book. well, calvin and hobbes is my favorite foreign comic strip, and i was very much happy to have a hold of the comic book that i’ve been craving for a long time ago. i love this comic because it brings back the inner child in me.

Calvin and Hobbes is a comic strip written and illustrated by Bill Watterson, following the humorous antics of Calvin, an imaginative six-year old boy, and Hobbes, his energetic and sardonic—albeit stuffed—tiger. (Wikipedia)

starbucks, tomas morato

we then went to starbucks, tomas morato. will you ever spend P175.00 just for a drink? well, it’s a YES for me, if that’s a venti java chip. i’d do extra hours at work for a venti cup of mouth-watering, creamy and cold coffee topped with spine tingling java chips (my favorite) even just occasionally.

that’s it for now… the first part of my birthday post. syempre my second part…
