Christmas Parties

December 16, 2009 (Wednesday) - I had a Christmas party with another set of friends which was held at James' house. The host just moved to his new "white house" and so the party serves as Christmas party and house warming at the same time.

I gave a Levi's shirt para sa exchange gift and ang host ang nakabunot. While wallet naman ang natanggap ko from Vincent na fresh na fresh from Europe at fresh graduate din.

December 19, 2009 - Another Pre-Christmas dinner na naman ang pinuntahan ko. This time, it was a very special kasi tatlo lang kaming magkakaibigan na nagharap. It was held at St. Regis Hotel, isang napaka gandang hotel na may European touch. The purpose of this dinner was to really have a good talk while having a good meal. We had a french buffet dinner, accompanied by unlimited wine too.

I sent one of my friends to tears nung nag-wish ako para sa aming tatlo, this were the exact words I said during my toast "I wish that whatever problems we had in 2009 will not happen again on 2010. May the good Lord give us another set of problems (then I laughed)" ...... and then she cried. I know madami syang pinagdaanang problema this year kaya siguro masyado lang syang naging masaya na hindi na maulit uli yung mga problema nya :)

My well wishes was then followed by "thank you" from both of them.

Saturday errands

I met one of the guys from Converse who pimped my chucks because I don't like the outcome, pinapalitan ko ang shoes ko, so binalik ko yung dalawa na ginawa nila.

Afterwards, punta ko ng 313@Somerset to check the latest promotions of Uniqlo, nakakita ko ng napakalambot na material na t-shirts and maganda ang fit saken. Kaya naman, napa-apat tuloy ako.

After mini-shopping, nakatanghod na naman ako sa new iMac at nakikipagligawan na naman ako sa kanya. Sa pagod, isang Western bacon cheeseburger tuloy ang kinain ko sa dinner. After my dinner, I met Cindy and Ate Cleofe, and these ladies were inviting meto join them for yoga session tomorrow. I don't know yet if I will join kasi I thought it's just not me going to a yoga session.

And when I reached home at 10PM, feeling ko gutom ako at walang sustansya ang kinain kong burger, kaya naman to the rescue ang fridge na mabuti na lang may fruits pala, kaya pinainit ko pa ng konti ang nagyeyelo nang ubas. Sarap!

Christmas Party @ Meritus Mandarin Hotel 2009

December 9, 2009 - Myself, together with my Filipino friends had our yearly Christmas party at Meritus Mandarin. We had a japanese buffet. Sobrang sasarap ng foods, at sobrang dami ng nakain ko, from appetizer to main course to dessert, sulit na sulit.

Sa exchange gift portion naman, si Karyn ang nabunot ko, and likewise, ako naman nabunot nya. For some strange reason, naramdaman ko na mas masaya ang Christmas party namin last year.

Regine

I went to Orchard and looked for an item para sa exchange gift with friends tomorrow na gaganapin sa pabulosong Meritus Hotel . Napadaan na din ng dinner sa "Lutong Pinoy" restaurant ng sinigang at lechong paksiw. Na sinundan ni Guen na umorder naman ng bulalo at pritong tilapya, FIESTA!

The best of all, dumating na ang anticipated CD ko ni Regine na bigay ni Lorie.

Movie, Reunion, Headache, Air Ticket, Alak

Loaded ang weekend ko na inumpisahan ng meeting with Elaine (December, 5 2009) sa paborito kong tambayan na Spinelli dahil tanaw ang Somerset sa terrace na ako pa lang yata ang nakakaalam. Dalawang balot ng pastillas ang pasalubong ni Elaine from Manila na nilantakan ko kaagad. Na sinundan ng matinding sakit ng ulo, na sinundan ng dinner na sinundan ng shopping na sinundan ng inuman sa paborito ko na namang place na cuppage (Wine Connection). Tanghali pa lang ng Saturday, nakikipagbuno na ko sa sakit ng ulo ko pero inabot pa din ako ng alas-tres ng madaling araw sa kalye. Enjoy ang reunion with Elaine and Eric, na sinamahan din ni Tonet and Wini. Hindi lang ako naging masaya sa topic namin around 2 AM, kasi mga multo experiences na ang usapan. Kaya suffering na naman ako pag dating ng bahay dahil pakiramdam ko may mumu akong kasama sa elevator habang paakyat ng bahay :(

Sunday - tulog ako hanggang tanghaling tapat. Nagluto ako ng makapa-amnesia sa sarap na fried rice na tinernuhan ng halabos na hipon. Isang busog na lunch. Followed by purchasing my ticket online for January 30 holiday. I'm excited dahil bumili na naman ako ng ticket para sa travel ko sa January, I can't wait for another week of vacation, soon. Salamat uli sa promo n Singapore Airline na nagamit ko na naman :)

Late afternoon, I watched Zombieland. Kakatuwang movie, matindi ang edranalin at talagang napapasiklot ako sa pagkakaupo. Bago pa lang pumasok sa sinehan, equiped with pain killers na ko dahil sa sakit ng ulo ko. Grabe talagang dumalaw ang sakit ko, kug kelan ako nagpapahinga, saka naman umi-style, hindi manlang makisama at hayaan naman akong i-enjoy ang weekend :(
