i'm sick..

Friday Afternoon

it's friday afternoon...

no work but i have to do an errand for mama...

but after doing so, i decided to go to the mall for an afternoon delight...

i treated myself with some good food and a laughtrip movie...

so here's the deal: i go to a resto i want.. and eat what i want..

which basically ends up with something i still haven't tried...

which is really fun, i should say!

PIT STOP: Bigby's Cafe and Restaurant

Location: SM Davao

i have been here a number of times but this is the first time i tried these:

Boomerang @ P225

it was good actually.. the sauce was great, the veggies were perfectly done..

but i wanted more shrimps.. nonetheless, the food suited my taste..

Chocomallow @ P79

aaaaawwww.. they forgot to make my order.. i had to make a followup first before they started preparing it.. i just hoped right then, that it was worth the wait... and finally i got served! i was actually looking for floating mallows which i obviously didn't see.. hahaha guess i expected too much from the name itself..lol.. and the taste test? good.. it was good.. it tasted different and i liked it.. it was chocolatey and sweet!

by the way, i like how Bigby's dressed up the whole place... it's so holloweeny but classy...

now it's movie time... PRAYBEYT BENJAMIN!

if i'm right, i think this is the first time i watched a comedy movie on big screen ALONE..

oh yes i laughed with the crowd but not that much cos i kept on coughing while watching..lol

Derek is soooo yummy... lol

after watching, i bought myself some sexy undies... and those plastic containers.. and a toy for Niji... and a maxi dress at Kultura... and brought home KFC's Supreme Bowl and hot shots for dinner with Niji..

MOTTO in LIFE:

you work and work to get a better life,

so why not splurge on the best?

besides, it's all yours to consume anyways!

Friday Madness

this is why i love FRIDAYS!!!

Bubble Gang's Pick-up lines battle is just hilarious!

Sixty Two

Sixty two...

Friday means RUN day...

and no work day.. lol

i slept early the night before... that's because i was nursing my sicko self again.. oh well, i still am nursing my sicko self... i actually had to wear a face mask at work just to isolate myself.. don't want to see everybody else around coughing and sneezing like me.. lol.. i woke up really early today, as in super duper early than the usual.. prepared a decent breakfast for me and Niji.. and then prepared myself for a morning run... i made sure i finish 10 all-run laps before going back home and getting Niji for her first outside run ever...

Oh boy, she was fast! whenever she sees somebody running, she runs as if she was chasing something and eventually get's ahead.. and i had no choice but to run as fast too cos she's tied to me.. lol...she loves running a lot.. i just realized if we were to race, she would win against me... no question about that.. lol.. love u my bLack rAinbow!

i saw this pic on fb... worth posting!!! STAY COOL!

i talked to God on my way home... i asked Him to tell me to STOP if He wants me to stop... and then my playlist started playing "baby don't you stop it, stop it..." right after The Script's the man who can't be moved...

mama then called... she asked me to do something and then she asked me about about something... she gave me her motherly inputs... but while she was still doing it, she ran out of credit... booo! i love my mama so much! i miss you mama!

Sixty One

Fifty One

fifty one...

i woke up pretty early today..well, i usually do when i don't sleep on my own bed..i took a quick shower and headed outside for my breakfast..i ended up at Chowking... Jollibee was too crowded and i was too hungry to line up.

so here's my Cebu Breakfast..

orange chicken lauriat and tofu all for ME, MYSELF and I.

while i was eating, i checked on the Lay Bare site again so i could call them and make a schedule. I called and the lady asked what time will i go there.. i said 10am..

my FIRST BRAZILIAN WAX experience! woot woot!

i took a cab and almost got lost walking around the building. didn't know they were upstairs... lol

the receptionist was pretty friendly.. she escorted me to a cubicle and then gave me a towel and a cover up and told me where i could wash up before the big event.. lol.. i love what they did with the washup room.. they had stones at the floor, it was pretty small but it was clean and elegant...

she did it on me.. it was kinda painful but it was tolerable..the pain was just at the beginning, then you'll get used to it eventually.. and what happened after? well, i'm satisfied! i loved it.. it was so liberating! ;-)

they even gave me a loyalty card... too sad they don't have any branch in Davao.. it's good to be bare sometimes, if not most of the time... lol

if you want to have your waxing experience too, i suggest you go to Lay Bare if there's one at your place. you can visit their site at www.lay-bare.com or contact them at 0917-LAY-BARE.

have a happy and exciting brazilian experience!

Fifty half

call it bad luck.. lol

FIRST: Sampaguita Suites was fully-booked so we had to walk under the heat of the sun from one hotel to another. I ended up with C'est la vie Pension cos it was the cheapest.

SECOND: Crown Regency's DROP ZONE does not exist. I so wanted to jump and fall. I was so damn excited to do the free fall thing which they described in their site as "feeling the gravity against you as you fall freely down a 40-foot drop strapped only with a weighted harness without a cable." when the receptionist said it is still yet to come.. ouch!

THIRD: April and I went to SM to check on Lay Bare, a waxing salon. The directory said the salon is nowhere to be found. can i say ouch again? lol

It was a great bonding time with April though. She treated me at Not Just Coffee. We both had shakes. All i can say is that, mine didn't taste that good. lol.

My tourist guide had to go to work so it was time to part ways. I took a cab to Fuente Osmena while she took another one.

C'est la vie is creepy, i should say. The place was like a meet-up place for old foreigners and hookers. There were girls who look like hookers at the lobby so you can't blame me for thinking so..

FOURTH: my comfort room's light bulb didn't work. so i had to go downstairs again to inform the receptionist who then asked the guard to change it. booo!

no cable tv.. old aircon.. no phones.. plus i don't like the bathroom.. arghhhh!

so what kept me company then? oh well, my book, my laptop, my globe tattoo and my celphones..

it was around 9:30pm that i decided to go out and eat. i walked around the vicinity and ended up eating at Sunburst. i had a joiner around who stays on the same pension house and i could not shoo him away after i repeatedly refused his willingness to join me.. good thing his roommate and his officemate picked him up. aaaahhh what a great relief! i don't want any joiners when i'm doing my soulsearching thing..lol

FIFTH: 22nd Street was on standing. so sad! i had a backup plan though.. to have a foot massage but damn when i asked the lady at the reception area, they were already closed.. arrrgggghhh

i decided to have some drinks as plan C.. walked around the city for a cozy place to get some shots alone but i found none..all they have were bars full of people so i had no choice but to go back to my room and sleep.

what a day indeed!

Fifty

today marks the 50th..so fifty it is!

i'm off the city.. miles away!

and yes it's definitely ME time for the weekend...

(patty and mac cancelled their trips but i decided to go on with mine)

my first ever ALONE trip..

big breakfast at the airport is a good start...

the plane actually arrived 15 minutes before the ETA.

so i called pring and kai so we could meet up...

MEET-UP place: STARBUCKS ayala

TIME: 10am

ONE GRANDE MOCHA FRAPPUCHINO for MS. CEARA

oh i actually get miffed when they can't spell my name right..

i think i'll have to go with BLACK ANGEL next time, that would be easier i guess..lol

kai and erich (who actually came straight from work) arrived a few minutes after but the three of us waited for ms. d who came in at around 11am... hungry! hungry! hungry! kai said we check Kublai Khan's mongolian eat-all-you-can! hmmmm... definitely the way to eat lunch.. a beastly welcome for a travelling doormat..lol

KUBLAI says:

ME: depressed

KAI and PRING: pregnant

(so u can go this thin when u r pregnant huh?!lol)

thanks you my dear sisters for spending your day with me ;-)

thanks ms. d for the lunch treat especially for me...lol
