Single and Ready to Mingle on HVD!


Its Valentine's Day again. A time to show affection in extra expressive way. A time to celebrate LOVE. But Valentine's Day really has been a regular day to me and to be honest it never affected me in any bitter way. Don't get me wrong, I know February 14 is Valentine's Day, I know its story and though its just a regular day to me, I am one with the numerous hearts in the world who are feeling happy on the day. I was never bitter but I must admit Valentine's day kind of bring a not so happy memory to me. I wouldn't tell the story since this is not about that sad memory but just so you have an idea other than confirming that I do have a not so nice memory on heart's day, I'd give a few details - Twas year 2009, a supposed Happiest Valentine's Day ever of my life from an invitation to go out by the someone I wanted to be with forever. haha Corny na,

Anyway, this year was a bit different. I had plans with my friends/ colleagues, Fel, Giselle and Thets to go out since all of us are fortunately single souls on HVD. I was on leave while the three of them planned to under-time from office but unfortunately Giselle was not able to finish her scheduled task. To make the story short, Thets and Fel went ahead to meet me at Shangri-La for our meeting with events team, leaving Giselle still in the office. She got upset as soon as she learned Thets and Fel left her and decided to put up a drama (what a drama queen she is. lol) and went home instead. 

We decided to go on with our planned HVD. Our meeting at Makati Shangri-La was successful and very productive. We actually spent almost whole afternoon there and took advantage of the nice Valentine's Day arrangement they have. 


We headed to Tenderbobs for our dinner. They have amazing food there but the serving size was actually overwhelming. 

I ordered for a steak which tasted really awesome! but unfortunately I couldn't finish there big serving. lol



Thets had her favorite dish which was a steak too,



and Fel had yellow chicken something hahaha...


and we also ordered this amazingly good tasting chicken stick

hahaha sorry we almost finished it before I realized we haven't taken a picture of it. 
That''s how good it tasted. lol

As expected, since "Love is in the air", love birds were literally everywhere. There were too many people waiting in line to dine in so as soon as we finished our dishes we paid and took off already.
We decided to have dessert at Ti-Amo and indulge ourselves with Gelato. 

The ambiance there is okay but i cant say really cozy since its too crowded and the place really looks tight lol. 

Fel and I had the exact same choices except the arrangement of it.lol 
Cool thing, they had a HVD promo: for every P300 you get free box of chocolate.
By the way we met Vergil at Ti-Amo to join, celebrate with us straight from his internship.
We got two boxes of chocolates, one for Thets and the other for the Drama Queen - Giselle.lol

This was what Verge had.. 


It was another exciting and fun Valentine's with friends. 

Happy Valentin's Day Everyone!

Dual Citizenship at 60!

Recently we celebrated my dear-ever-fabulous-granny's 60th Birthday
the venue? Circles at Makati Shangri-La.









This celebration was a surprise for her.
She knew that we would go out for a dinner
but she didn't know that it would be in Shangri-La.



We wanted the dinner to be a bit intimate unlike
the past celebrations, that's why other than us,
the immediate family members, we only invited
her two siblings and their husband/wife.


The Birthday Girl! 




Mom was wearing Polo Ralph Lauren Pink One-piece Tennis T-shirt-Dress
and her new Couch bag from HK.

Why Dual Citizenship at 60?
because other than her Filipino Citizenship, 
she has now become a legitimate Senior Citizen!
But in fair to her, she barely looks like she is her age now.
Well, I'd like to believe that we really are gifted with
awesome beautiful genes. haha

The Food 

At Circles there are so many types of dishes/foods that you can choose from
and expect that some of these awesomely tasting food came all the way from abroad like 
that lobster we ate. We were so intrigued about it that while we were eating it, we kept thinking 
whether or not it was a real lobster cause it has a different look. Then we found out that
it was not a simple-local one, it was from Switzerland! I just forgot what it was called.









 Pictures with the Birthday Girl!





The Lobby of Makati Shangri-La is one of the best!



after several hours in the restaurant..
we finally headed home.



What I was wearing: ( Blazer from Zara, Top from BKK, Jeans from Zara and Glittered Oxford from R.L.)
