why does it always rain on me...

wow.

the rain was pouring by the time i came ot the office so i had to sprint into the darn doors so i wouldn't get wet! The downpour was so bad i almost made the driver go back to QC (fat chance of me getting soaked just for work!) Nways, when i got in, not only was there were, but my bosses were at my floor. Just my luck. :-P

Last night

Ok, so i was actually planning to just stay at home and watch the remaining Friends episodes i haven't watched (again). Also, i had my lil' "list of things to do", which pretty much involved boring stuff (i.e., burn 25 cds for work). I dropped by CBTL morato for a quick caffeine fix then proceeded home for a quick dinner (yup, pasta a la Lette --- ribbon pasta in oil, mushroom and tomatoes).

Manila suddenly texted out of nowhere. They were at Molo's, this grill place nearby Glori's, and she asked if i can come over. Manila!??!! It's been ages since i've hung out with this gal, and i really miss her! Definitely!

It's funny how things in life interconnect, yknow? See, Manila and I used to be officemates, and then we became friends since she "recruited" me to play in her soccer team. We hung out beyond the office and the grounds, and went out for coffees and gimmicks, but after a while we kinda lost in touch since we had to fix our lives (haha). She's pretty kewl, and as weird as it may sound, everytime we hang out we seem to talk a lot about guys and shopping (typical girls ba? I rarely do that these days!!heheh), among other things.

Nway, she's been trying to recruit me again for flag football (which i tried once, but with my schedule and the one time i got hit, i haven't been able to go for a second run), but ended up convincing Lucee, my roomie. So big surprise when she found out that Lucee and I knew each other. hahaha. I'm thankful for that though, cos that gave me a chance to hangout with her again.

Nways, i go to Molo's and got to meet Manila again! Lucee and her other team meates surprised Manila with a party/outing here, since Nina (one of the team mates) owns the place. Minda, Nina, Icy, Tata, STeph, Gabby and well, the rest of the "kalog" gang were there. ANdre came over later, bringing along three butterscotch ice cream (yum!). Lotsa picture taking, cake (mmm...chocolate!) and other foodie goodies were on the tables (there goes my so-called diet...) and we even had party favors! Manila and I caught up on "tsismis" while the rest of the peeps kept hamming it up for the camera.

We moved to this bar called Naughty Strings, a karaoke/comedy bar in Tomas Morato (it's on the second floor of the bldg where CBTL is) and got in for free since one of the teammates knew the owner, and we decided we weren't gonna stay that long (the work excuse works!) I got to meet more team mates, who, from the looks of it,a re not only pretty and strong, they are total party animals too. heheh. God, i miss this scene! Being there made me realize that yup, there IS more to life than work. hahaha.

Manila, Andre and I talked amidst all the singing (Minda was in her form, singing away) and drinking. I never really got to talk to Andre before, although i've seen him at soccer and at parties with Manila. He's really sweet and very hammy. I was kinda intimidated by him at first but as it turns out, he's a kewl guy to hang with.

We hung out there until 2am (there goes my curfew! heheh) and Andre was very sweet to drive us all home (me, Manila and Lucee). We passed by the Meat Shop in Xavierville Ave. for a quick fix (BBQ for them, soy milk for me and Lucee), then dropped Manila home. Turns out ANdre also lived in Teacher's Vill., which was very convenient for us (hehe). On the way there we got to talk about food, which eventually turned into a semi-argument about where the best persian/indian food was. hmm. definitely a fix at these restos ius a must to determine which one really IS the best! hehehe.

YeheY! Got to check out Pika's linky link! Kewl! It's really great to cath up with friends, even through their blogs hehhe. :-D
