The whole gang has been waiting for this little baby since Monday! The boys were supposed to have a jamming session but due to Ria’s condition, those boys gathered in the hospital corridor and talked about their music.  Ria was surprised and even asked “why are they all here?”. hahah moral suport! Later on, she was asked to go home. The two of us, both preggy, went to Trinoma instead and had a couple of cups of Red Mango frozen yogurt.   At least, that time, I was with someone who would truly understand my very frequent bathroom habits.

Another thing to celebrate…

I’ll be attending Bob Blumer’s Surreal Surprise. It’s a dinner for probably around 300 people and I’ll be tagging my bestfriend Knought for it.

Too bad Jinggoy has work.

I’ll be borrowing dad’s car. My TaBY is banned in the whole city of Makati on Fridays. Knought and I will have a very chic evening.

Tucked in a very spacious king-sized bed, I start channel-surfing from Ch24 (Discovery) to 90 (SciFi).  Usually, I stop in Ch26 (Discovery Travel  & Living Channel). Ooooh, how I love this channel! It’s also one of the reasons why my brother doesn’t want to change cable operators. It used to be the Travel & Adventure Channel years ago until they changed it to TLC.

Samantha Brown, Anthony Bourdain, Bob Blumer, Ian Wright, Jamie Oliver, Nigella Lawson, and David Rocco are just some of the people I’ve been stuck with in the tube for probably more than 7 years now. Whether it’s about food or a destination, every episode is something to learn about.

I just hope TLC will be there until I grow old, until the time I could say “been there, done that!”

It sounded familiar to me. I took them too, of course, legally.

It’s an anti-anxiety drug and my doc called it a “muscle relaxant”. Prior to resigning from Sykes, I was so stressed I felt dizzy and sleepless for nights. Half a tablet of that before bedtime gave me sooooo good zzz’s. Since the drug was controlled, I had a special prescription paper for it. I remember writing an entry about it too.

Follow the doctor’s advice and you’ll be safe. If you abuse something, then it’s not your health or your body. It’s your mental health.

Final reports on MJ’s death aren’t out yet but news state that it’s possible that drugs may have contributed to his death.

Whatever the case is, may he rest in peace.

We then had lunch at Kenny Rogers’ in Mall of Asia. At least, their service here is better compared with Trinoma’s. Gosh, I ate a lot! Solo B comes with a quarter of a chicken, rice, 2 sidings and a muffin. Adding to this meal, I ordered a grilled sandwich pa! Their pesto, tomato and mozarella sandwich was good! (Well, not really good-good, but just “good”)

The muffin wasn’t enough for my dessert, we headed to Haagen Dazs. I had my “Berry Cool”. It’s strawberry-raspberry shake topped with a scoop of strawberry ice cream! totally antalap!

After MOA, we headed to Makati to check out the Panama Embassy. Since we needed to kill more time, we walked to GB5 until we got tired. hehehe  headed home and mom’s just served spaghetti for dinner. mmmmmm!

We then decided to fill our hungry tummies and headed to Greenhills. Off to Ristras!

Ristras

It’s located near Wilson St. We’re burrito (not donkey, mind you) lovers and I’ve heard about this resto from Our Awesome Planet.

Our verdict: big burritos justify the PhP290 price. We had a chicken burrito and had it sliced in half. Better than Mexicali. I haven’t tried Agave’s burrito because I always order a different dish. For us, it’s worth coming back.

Caramia

For dessert, we went to the other side of Greenhills. Beside Amici is Caramia Gelateria. It was a heaven of gelati! The usual flavors of gelati you’ll find in Amici are there, plus, gelati cakes and some other cakes.

Price per slice is cheaper than Five Cows and the cakes taste better. Jinggoy had a gelati cake (“merry berries” i think) and I had Nocciola Gateau (would you ever expect me to order a non-hazelnut cake???). Goody-good, even though it’s not gelati. Next time, i’ll have a gelati cake instead.

We’ll be back for more ice cream here when we have our next burrito at Ristras!

Leighton in “House, MD”

Jinggoy asked who that chick was and I told him it’s Blair from “Gossip Girl”. I had to refresh his memory about “Chuck Bass” (the only name he recalls in “Gossip Girl” because of his reputation) pairing off with Blair. Then again, I forgot, he tried to sleep with all the girls in the Upper East Side.

Anyway, Jinggoy said Leighton Meester looks hotter in House compared with Gossip Girl’s Blair.

Just this morning, I was able to watch her video with Cobra Starship “Good girls go bad” (which I also blogged about last May) and Leighton has light-colored hair. Hmmm… she looks prettier nga, just a bit older.

It’s probably the hair color. imo, blondes are hotter (but also associated to being bimbos), but brunettes can have more flexible roles from good girls to bad. i still prefer brunette characters though.

This morning, I asked Jinggoy again to look for some carrot cake. Unfortunately, he didn’t find any from nearby cafes and bakeshops. Thus, I made my own using the same recipe I used before (see 06/11/08 entry).

A peek at my messy workplace with half a kilo of carrots, grated.

after 4 years, i was able to eat fresh cherries again! been munching on these like peanuts when I was in Spain. love ‘em!

Yes, the same drug I was pleading my docs to inject on me 4 years ago when I got operated on when my stitches hurt badly. One dose and the pain went away, putting me off to sleep. I couldn’t take pain killers because I had allergies and this is the only one safe for me.

Later on, they had to stop Demerol on me to avoid dependency and addiction. No more painkillers, thus, my tolerance for physical pain increased.

Afterwhich, we had lunch buffet at the Thai Kitchen along Tomas Morato. Good thing, (I think) my morning sickness had stopped. Been throwing up for the past 3 days.

I then returned my hubby to his office to resume work. Headed to Trinoma for my “me time.”  It’s been a long time since I did some malling alone.

I was able to buy a pair of sandals (sale at Landmark!), I got another free parking pass for my birthday month (care of A-Card), and now, I’m at the lounge using their Mac for free. There’s a limit of 30 mins but since nobody’s using, we can use it as long as we want.

I might have to resume walking or shopping (if I still have moolah) in a few minutes from now. Have to rest my tired feet first.

Thanks to their mac, I’m able to manage my restaurant in FB! hehehe

happy long weekend!
