To be honest, one of my goal this year is to reconnect with my old friends and I'm happy that I was able to do that. One saturday night after my post grad class, I had this sudden craving for pasta so I sent a text message to my hs friend Sheryl (Mahal) and we decided to meet up that night to have dinner at cafe lidia. I posted pictures on facebook then one of our other best friend, Princess who's working in the United Kingdom commented saying that she's currently here in the Philippines. At first, I thought she was joking but it turned out that she's really here! So I scheduled a meet up right away which unfortunately Amy wasn't able to go to.
One thursday night, about 1st week of november, we decided to try the mongolian buffet in Hi Rice Grill Marcos Highway. We were so happy to see Princess again and we asked a lot of things, inquiring about her experiences of working and living in the UK. Sheryl also brought her son Seth so that Princess can finally meet him. Here are some photos of that night :)

Before the month of november ended, the 3 of us were able to meet again and this time we were complete. Sunday night, we all meet up at Araneta center Cubao for dinner at Seafood island. We missed each other so much for the last time we've been complete like this was way back 2008, after we all graduated from college. We did a lot of catching up to fill the gap of those missing years, trying to answer all the curiosities of the were about of each others lives. As for dinner, we decided to try the boodle fight :)
and there we are complete :)

Hello boodle fight!
After dinner and so that we could also talk some more, we decided to have some coffee at the Coffee bean and tea leaf nearby.
These 3 ladies are really my friends for life. We grew up together, our families know each other and we've seen each other at our worst and at our best. I love my high school best friends so much. Hope we can have more meet up opportunities soon :)
I do think this is true.. that we are bound to believe that person we love...that we deemed everything they as true. Why? Because of that love, therefore we trust them.
But what if you suddenly get bombarded of the truth? That the person is not who you believe he/she is? That it turned out to be a fantasy and not reality...
So what would you do? Will you stand up, fight and face the truth or choose to be comforted by fantasy and continue living blinded by lies? If you choose the latter, also ask this; was it really because of love and trust? Or was it because of pride? That emotion that's keeping you from telling the truth. That fear of admitting that you were wrong.
Sometime last September, my friend Sheryl, her son Seth and I decided to try dining at Tokyo Bubble Tea in Katipunan Extension. This is a big branch sharing the space with its sister dessert haven "Honeybee Patisserie". I like the exterior and interior design of the bubble tea place. I can describe it as modern but stylish.

Let's go check out the food. So we decided to try their Baked Doria Casseroles. Sheryl ordered the Chicken Teriyaki Doria while I tried the Seafood Melt Doria. You see I'm really a big fan of cheese so I was expecting that I will totally love their Doria dishes but unfortunately I didn't. Since I missed eating Takoyaki, we decided to get one order of it. I was expecting more because of the price but I was a bit disappointed with it too.
Seafood Melt Doria (Php 245)
Takoyaki (Php178)
For the drinks, I decided to try one of their Milo series so I ordered the JCC Milo Milk tea and I totally loved it! It totally made up for my disappointment with their food. JCC means Japanese cheesecake cream. For the dessert, we chose the Mango Cheesecake from the Honeybee Patisserie menu. I like this one for it is not too sweet though I would prefer that they thicken the crust a bit.
JCC Milo Milk tea (Php165)
Mango Cheesecake (Php105/slice)
Overall, I'm not sure if I will try dining at Tokyo Bubble tea again. Maybe their cooking is not just up to my taste. But if I'm craving for some Milk tea, I will definitely consider Tokyo Bubble tea :)

Yesterday, I took a leave so that I can spend the whole day with Giselle. We don't always have the opportunity to meet because she's too busy at work. Well, I heard that it's really hard to work in a fast food chain especially if you're a manager.
As we were avoiding the onset of rush hour traffic when we go home, I suggested that we just go and walk around Eastwood City since it's also near in Marikina. I wanted to try "Project Pie" so we had lunch there. Since we were first timers, the crew helped us in deciding what to put in our DIY pizza.
Aside from the pizza, we also ordered a Classic Caesar Salad. By the way, we love the cheese croutons in the salad :)
After lunch, we walked around the vicinity and took some more pictures LOL
When we got tired roaming around the malls and lots of food establishments, we opted to have coffee and
hang out for awhile at Caffe Bene. I ordered my favorite Hot cafe mocha while giselle had a cup of green tea.
