Blogdrive's been acting crazy these past weeks, so i decided to take up a friend's offer and move somewhere else. Hay. Goodbye, blogdrive... follow me to my new home...
After last week’s road trips to Quezon and Tagaytay, this week was mall-hopping week for me, hehe. BF is currently working on an office renovation job in Shaw Blvd. just beside Starmall, and I have been his constant companion during his visits to the site.We leave around 3 in the afternoon to get some stuff at Ortigas Home Depot, where I have fun looking around for furnishings and materials I’d like to incorporate into my future house. After that, we go straight to the office beside Starmall and I wait and read in the car while he checks the carpenters and their work.Construction was restricted to 6 pm to 12 mn only, since it is a commercial area with a street full of townhouses turned offices. After an hour or so at the site, off we go to Megamall for some window shopping and dinner. We discovered a new popcorn brand, Holy Kettle Corn!, that we’ve become addicted to. It’s in a sealed bag and is good for 4 days. Try it, it’s yummy.
That was our routine from Tuesday to Thursday. On Tuesday, we so enjoyed the sale in different stores, we got ourselves a shirt (for him) and skirt (for me, of course! Hehe). Wednesday, we watched a movie, My Super Ex-Girlfriend.It was a funny movie, for me at least, though a bit shallow, but entertaining naman. As we usually do, we went home still discussing the movie and its funny scenes.I was outraged when BF said G-Girl reminded him of me, HAH! I said I’m not that type of girlfriend, he said, you’re just like her in some ways. Like what? I said. Basta, some funny things about her remind me of you. Oh really now…
Anyway Uma Thurman was hilarious, and over-all, I liked the movie just because it made me laugh.
Monday pala I had another sort of roadtrip with Mader. We picked up the little happy family in Antipolo and drove all the way to Pililia, Rizal where we found a -- eureka! -- coffee shop! It was a cute little coffee shop with a small garden and the yummiest white toblerone cheesecake I’ve ever tasted. That was Monday.
Last night naman, Mader, roommate, and I went for the 8pm showing of The Devil Wears Prada in Eastwood. Roommate had a really hectic week, and Mader wanted us to go out and loosen up after the whole week’s hassles. So, after snacks of fish n chips and shrimp poppers, we watched Devil Wears Prada. We were seated in different rows, but just in front of each other. The movie, which I learned is an adaptation of a novel by Lauren Weisberger, is something that will make you want to go to your closet and check out whatever you have and mix and match them. I love the beautiful outfits that Andy (Anne Hathaway) wore. I love Anne Hathaway!... golly, I even love Meryl Streep! They are both superb actresses and very beautiful too.I am currently looking for a transcript of the movie because there were a lot of lines that were really funny, and some lines too that really made me stop and think. I told you, even movies speak to me about certain issues of my life, hehe.Go and watch Devil Wears Prada. You’ll like it.
Had our second trip to Lucban last August 20-21. As usual, the van we were traveling in transformed into a rolling comedy bar. That's what you get when you put Ate Kay, Ihs, Risz, Loren, Amy, Ate Joy and Ogie all in one enclosed space, hehe. Though Ogie and I didn't take much part in the goofing which took place at the rear part of the van because we were in front, as usual, Ogie was our driver.
It was mostly a time to rest and bond for all of us.We stayed at Ate Kay's place and ate and ate and ate. And took lotsa pictures too.
The following day, we went on a roadtrip to Liliw, Laguna to search for Ihs' magic slippers, hehe. We had almost an hour's ride going there, so we had to eat lunch first at the Liliw church, which almost looks like Milan, minus the pigeons.
After lunch, we immediately took off and went to the shoe street. We had fun going from store to store trying to decide which footwear was going to make it to Marikina with us.
I almost went home empty-handed (or footed), because the bakya I fell in love with in one store didn't have my size, huhuhu. Thanks to my YAM buddies who never gave up, a perfect fit was found for me!
After the search was over, we went back to Lucban, packed up our things, and had our picture taken with Tita Cory and her housemates. We boarded the van and started the drive home… everybody was silent at first, probably thinking, here we go back to our busy lives again, *sigh*.
Here's our last photo taken at Pagsanjan along the main road, hehe.
I really thank God for trips like that because it helps keep my sanity intact. The view of greens and quaint towns does me a lot of good, sort of brings me back to the essentials of life. And being with the YAM barkada is always refreshing because we get to catch up on what's the latest in each others' lives, especially those of us who already have thier own families. Their mother-and-child-stories are always hilarious, hahaha! It was a fun trip!
