Not a Good Day… YET!

I woke up with a visit from my favorite friend... dysmenorrhea. I just spent about 30 minutes under the heat of the sun... waiting for a taxi cab while holding my bag, and my laptop bag. AMF! I arrived at the office and found out that DotAStrategy.com is down. :( But the day is not over yet... I'm eating at Zakoya later for the Davao Food Trip. And the meal is a Japanese Buffet. And it's for FREE!!! YUM! Then, I'm meeting up with some of my high school boys afterwards. Oh, yeah! Do I sound like I'm being fake? Because I am. HAHA!

P37 Lunch at Hanoi!

Me and Winston (pasmado si Kuya waiter) I just came from lunch with Winston at Hanoi Vietnamese Restaurant (actually I slept after lunch coz I have a headache but whatev!). We only paid PhP 37 for the Pomelo Salad, Bo Luc Lac, Chicken Curry, Pandan Jelly with Coconut Milk, Durian Pie, and Black Jelly with Coconut. Ang mura no? Just kidding! We paid only P37 because we used the PhP1,000 gift certificate that Blogie gave to Jayvee, and Jayvee gave to us. LABO! It was a delicious meal which I enjoyed very, very much!!!

Another Free Dinner at Zakoya

As part of the Davao Bloggers' Food Trip, I was invited to Zakoya Japanese Restaurant next week to enjoy their dinner buffet. I am already excited to eat Tempura, California Maki, Unagi, and their other Japanese food. I have already tried out their buffet many, many times, but next week will be a different experience because I will be enjoying it with other bloggers. EXCITING!!!

Wish Granted: Free Meal at Lachi's

Kuya Andrew, Ria, Winston, and Blogie A few weeks ago, I blogged my Christmas Wishlist which included this... Last Monday, I received an SMS from the owners of Lachi's, Mike and Melvin Aviles, inviting me and three of my friends to eat dinner there. So last night, Kuya Andrew, Blogie, Winston, and I trooped over to Lachi's. It was Winston and Blogie's first time there, while Kuya and I have been there countless times. First, we all had our main course... Grilled Porkchop, Unforgettable Pork Ribs, Stuffed Chicken, Lechon Kawali, Laing Then, we enjoyed these and more... New York Style Cheesecake with Blueberry and Cherry Topping Strawberry Shortcake Creme Brulee Cake Everything was YUMMMMYYYYY!!! Thanks to Mike and Melvin Aviles for granting one of my wishes. Inggit kayo? Visit Lachi's along Ruby Street, in Marfori Heights, Davao City.

Upcoming: The Usual Suspects Visit Lachi's

Today I received this SMS message: Hi. Somebody sent us your Christmas wish list. It's quite tall, but we hope to fulfill at least one item. You and three of your family members/friends are invited to a dinner at the newly renovated Lachi's, preferably on Tuesday. Thank you. That really woke me up from my sleepiness because Lachi's is like you know my FAVORITEST restaurant here in Davao City. The message was from Mike Aviles, one of the two proprietors of Lachi's. The other is Melvin, his twin brother. Every year, I receive a nice gift from them. This one, I decided to share with the other members of The Usual Suspects. I invited Kuya Andrew, Blogie, and Winston to come with me tomorrow to taste and enjoy the wonderful food served by Lachi's. Hopefully, we will enjoy the experience.

My Christmas Wishlist

Of course I want peace, serenity, and contentment and all those other altruistic things. Here are some more attainable things I would like to have this Christmas: Any black bag big enough to for all my things to fit in. It should be sturdy enough because this is a bag that I will be bringing to work everyday. A Moleskine Red Diary so I could keep track of all my appointments, deadlines, and other important dates. Any iPod model. I want to have an iPod for all those boring monotonous days and nights I spend staring at my stark ceiling and to keep me company while I work. A Sony Cybershot Camera Phone, or any good camera phone that I can use for blogging purposes so that I wouldn't be too dependent on other people's cameras anymore. A gym membership. LOL! This would really force me to shape up. A free class at the Center for Asian Culinary Studies here in Davao City. Free meal at Lachi's, De Bonte Koe, Tsuru, Swiss Deli, and all the other yummy restaurants here in Davao City. A vacation in Palawan or Boracay. Comfortable Havaianas in metallic silver or gold. And for less materialistic…
