Manila Day 7: An Interview and A Movie

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…
