May 1, 2008, Labor Day: Woke up early to meet up with a journalist/blogger. Went to Gateway, drank Cafe Mocha at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf because I was early. Then, we met up at Pancake House where we had a very interesting and lively conversation about blogging and the gaming scene. Went back to Kuya Andrew's house to rest but ended by twitting around and chatting with people. Left for Greenbelt at around 4 pm, went to Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf (again!) to have some Mango Smoothie and the Asian Chicken Salad. Met up with Ade to buy the tickets I reserved. We were 2 minutes late and the reservation was forfeited. We got tickets for an earlier showing. We waited for Poyt at Figaro. And we decided to go inside the cinema without Fritz since he has watched the movie the day before anyway. :P Iron Man was in a word... greatawesometasticbulous!!!! We ate Nut Pesto with Chicken, Italian Sausage Parmigiana, and Puttanesca Pizza at A Venetto in Glorietta where Allan also showed up. I dissuaded Kuya from busy yet another laptop. HEH! He treated me to another round of eating at Friday's. The Loaded Potato Skins…

Manila Day 6
Kinda short day... Woke up late. Ate lunch. Surfed the internet. Disturbed by the noise of my cute nieces arriving. They're so adorable talaga!!! Went to Greenhills... again! Ate Unagi Sushi at Teriyaki Boy again! YUM! YUM! For only PhP100 and they don't charge an additional 10% service tax. Ate Crunchy Tiramisu and Fudgy Chocolate Cake at Cibo. SINFUL! Drank Mocha eXtreme at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf and it definitely woke me up! My niece tricked us into buying stuff for her at Hobbes and Landes. I also bought pasalubong for my spoiled brat nephew/inaanak. Had birthday dinner at Sugi. I ate Tenderloin Steak... medium rare. GRAWRRR! Plan to watch Iron Man was cancelled. Met up with a friend at Starbucks in Podium. Had some Early Grey Tea and pretending to care about my weight and health, But before that spent around 30 minutes waiting for a cab. I also found another book I want to buy. Good thing I was sane and didn't buy it coz it's waaay over my budget. Had a very interesting conversation with my friend. ;) Stood along the road again to wait for a taxi for a long time AGAIN! Arrived home earlier…
Manila Day 5
Another boring post... Kuya and I woke up before lunchtime. Ate yummy sinigang and beef kaldereta. We both got bored so we decided to strut around Greenhills. Drank Coffee with Coffee Pudding at Quickly. YUMMEH! I got bored at V Mall and Shoppesville, but managed to buy a nice dress at Theatre Mall. Happy, happy at Fully Booked but the two books I wanted to buy weren't in good condition anymore. Ate Strawberry Shortcake at Bizu. Lachi's is wayyy better and cheaper. Bizu's was not totally bad though. Transferred to Greenbelt to meet up with Winston and Blogie for a business thing. Bought three books at Powerbooks. 2 by F. Sionil Jose and another one about Education and school. All are compilations of essays. Realized that I don't have time to read short stories and novels. :( And they didn't have the Belle de Jour book, Sophie's Choice, and any Umberto Eco books though. :( Passed by the Greenbelt Tasting Room thing and ate delicious food from Kai, Haiku, Max Brenner, Fish and Co, among others. YUMMEH! SUPER! I'll blog more about it laterz. Met up with high school friends EJ, Rhoda, Patrick, and Patrick at Italianni's. Terrible service, great…

Manila Day 3
I woke up at around 9:30 am, took a bath, ate breakfast, and prepared for a day of gallivanting around. At around 11 am, Kuya, Winston, and I met up with Juned. After a while, Ate Aileen also arrived. We went to Binondo. YEY! We ate at Estero where we had Yang Chow Fried Rice, Scallops with Mushrooms, Sweet and Sour Pork, and Oyster Cake. YUM YUM YUM! After lunch, we met up with Benj. We went on a search for Quickly. LOL! But failed miserably... we spent more time walking around more than anything else. Well, there were also lotsa camwhoring. After Binondo, they went to Intramuros while I hailed a cab to go to Taft. I visited Mineski Grounds. I was able to meet a lot of the DotA players I chat with or play with over G Arena. My ex was there and he was like... uhmmm.... hmmm.... ah, eh... he ignored me. LOL! I also met up with Davao player Yukz who is trying to move to Manila and needed professional and personal advice. Awww... bonding kami! The friendliest people there were Vini, Tony, Roro, Khen, and Papa Bong. :P By 6 pm, I left to…
