So I found time to write. It’s a holiday in the Philippines today. I was extremely busy the past months that I have not gotten the chance to post anything. So perhaps a highlight of the last three months would suffice.
May
Ven’s Wedding. I was maid-of-honor at my best friend’s intimate wedding ceremony held in the garden of the University Hotel of our beloved alma mater. It was attended by family and a few close friends. Venus is first to tie the knot in the gang.
Dad’s Birthday. We just had a simple Thai dinner in Basil, a restaurant along White Plains in Quezon City. The food is great but the service is painfully slow. The serving too is a wee bit small for the price.
Food Trips Everywhere. When one is stressed out, the best way to deal with it is to eat. And I did just that.
June
Trips to the South. June was a busy month for me. I had trips to southern Philippines for work. We usually land and stay in Cagayan de Oro. There’s a new hotel in CDO called Seda Centrio that offers excellent service and a great breakfast buffet.
New Haircut. My last haircut was in January when I had a perm. My locks have become unruly and I figured maybe a haircut would solve the problem. So one Friday, Venus and I had a lunch and spontaneously decided on getting a haircut in a David’s Salon. The shampoo part took much longer than the actual haircut. Crazy!
July
Kanto Freestyle Breakfast. The Springbreakers have gone to the unfamiliar streets of Mandaluyong in search of the gourmet breakfast resto that’s ironically situated on a side street. They serve great food here at a price that does not burn a hole in the pocket. If you’re looking for good food and do not mind the ambiance, this is the place to be. Serving time though can be very long. Some have experienced getting their food after two hours. Insane!
Gayuma ni Maria. This is my first post about Gayuma ni Maria although it’s my third time in the place. It’s a witchcraft-themed restaurant along the Maginhawa strip in Quezon City. At first (or even on your third time), the place still gives you the creeps. It has an eerie feel to it especially the place being dimly lit and a presence of several antique pieces. I chose not to take photos of these and instead focused on the food. Well, need I say more? Going to that place for three times in the past year could only mean one thing. They serve great food.
And that’s my fill for the past three months. I really hope I could write more next time.
