Food & Company

Last week, majority of the staff and the bosses were on a 3-day training outside the company premises. A few of us were left in the office. It was really quiet and there were no dramas at all.

We took advantage of the situation! Since we have 4 new employees, we “volunteered” them for a food treat. And they easily gave in, no sweat at all!

At 3:30, we converged and shared a delightful merienda.

First day, we had Chami Special from Buddy’s.

Second day, we had pizza and lots of soda.

Pizza all you can!

Thanks a lot, Avi!

 This is Cheryl, our new IT Associate:

Pretty young lady =)

The only guy in the photo is James aka Bimby, our new Accounting Associate:

Guess sino crush nya? =)

The lady in pink is Melai, our new officer from the Corporate Planning Department:

Iriz and Anne ate a lot (may masabi lang, hehehe)

Third day, we had Spaghetti and pichi-pichi from Amber’s. 

Thanks Arvin, Bimby and Che!

Thanks for the treat, Melai!

Lo and behold, we had ice cream too, from Marie (in red) and Cindy (in black).

 

 

 

This is Avi, our new Account Associate: 

Yes sisters, naubos nya lahat ng yan =)

Di papahuli mga nanay: Her and Gracey.

Pandesal treat from Ms. Nieves soon =)

Floral na kung floral!

This is the guy to approach when you crave for Starbucks or Serenitea. Mayaman!

Ice cream all you can!

Everyone else contributed. I cannot mention you all, but you are appreciated.

Let's do it again!

Signs

Here is another collection of signs I captured. I should remind myself often to bring my camera wherever and whenever. There were some signs I failed to photograph. I sure hope I’ll have the opportunity to see them again.

Lady's?!

You be the judge

Scary. Parang chop-chop ang CHIAT-CHOU massage.

How blatant. Saw this under the Central LRT Station.

PEDECURE

Z na Z! Ayos!

Food Trip

I recently had a four-day get away. And all I did was eat, swim and sleep. Ahhh, life! I’d love to do it again, given sufficient funds =).

Here’s a little rundown of what I gobbled:

Banana Vanilla Shake of Jonah’s

Boracay Special, aka tuna sandwich, also from Jonah’s

Gellato

 

 Chicken Inasal of Island BBQ

Liempo from Gerry’s Grill

Mango Milk Shake, again from Jonah’s

Went to Jonah's twice as it is undoubtedly famous for its yummy shakes.

Calamansi Muffin paired with Cappuccino from Real Coffee

Real Coffee is famous for their muffin. It is baked several times in a day. I went here 3 times, and had the muffins hot, direct from the oven. Only 45p.

Egg Omelette and Toast, also from Real Coffee

I like the place. They cook everything in front of you. Freshness indeed. Not the pre-cooked type of food that most restaurants offer. 

Pork BBQ from Hawaiian BBQ. The meat was so tender. Two thumbs up. 4 skewers for 180p.

Country Style Porkchops from Backyard BBQ

I like the interior design of the place. Full of witty signs, just like this:

While having dinner here, a pre-nuptial pictorial was going on:

I toted a supply of bread. The breeze made me hungry all the time. I get them freshly baked from Julie’s. The mongo bread is my favorite.

On my last day, I wore the Traveling Dress (for the 6th time).

 

 I had so much fun. I can't wait to go back, and do it all over again. See you soon, Boracay!

Live a happy life!

Avril Lavigne

 

I had a nice time watching Avril Lavigne perfom live last 16 February (I know, this post is looong overdue) at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. The ticket was pricey, for such a short show. I’m a fan, but the ticket was really exorbitant. I try not to think about it anymore, but really, I paid so much!

 

Fortunately, she played most of my favorite songs. I was hoping she will sing “WHY”. Failed.

Young as she is, naturally the crowd was young as well.

Daming tao!

The show started on time, with Somedaydream as front act. They performed their most famous single "Hey Daydreamer".  I didn’t even know that such was the title of the song until the famous line “you and me, sitting on a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g...” was played. Yes, from the Cornetto commercial.

SOMEDAYDREAM

Then it went totally dark. All you can see were the neon sticks waved by the crowd. It was cute. I didn’t buy one for myself. Mahalia. 

 

 And out came the petite girl, singing Skaterboy.

 

She literally rocked the big dome! Everyone was singing, jumping and screaming!

Maybe she couldn't believe that she has a huge following in the Philippines, so she said " Oh my God, Manila, you are so amazing! I'm from Canada, thank you for listening to my music all the way from here!".

She was very energetic, jumping up and down the stage. And the crowd was joyous. The screams were deafening. Mapapakanta ka talaga with her.

When I reached home, the noise was still echoing in my ears. In fact, my ears hurt. Not used to so much noise already.

Again, it was a great show. But too expensive.
