Welcome To My Life

It's been a long time...

Met up with college buddies and balikbayans yesterday. First up, I met up with college buddies in Dampa, Macapagal. We had a seafood-fest there. Jonki, Doths and I bought the food we wanted to eat. In short, namalengke ang tatlong walang alam sa pamamalengke. hehehe Jonki bought small shells for halaan daw. I dunno what that is coz I don't eat it. Then we bought swahe shrimps and some squid, Jonki said these were the yummy kind of shrimps so we bought it. There were a lot in 1 kilo, I was quite surprised about that. Then we bought the tuna belly. We don't know how to look for fresh tuna, for all we know we were being duped. All the tuna there looked dry and pale, so not sure if those were any good either. Next, we bought the yummy alimangos. Again, we didn't know how to look for fresh ones with lots of meat in it. So we just picked one vendor and asked her as if we were experts on the alimangos she was selling. But I think the lost looks on all our faces were a give away that we were beginners in pamamalengke. She said that male or bakla alimangos were the best ones. SO we just took her word for it that those were indeed bakla alimangos.

We were supposed to eat at Aling Tonya's, but it was so jampacked. In waiting for a table, we were number 15, we couldn't wait that long as we were already famished. The lady said, we should've reserved seats beforehand so we could've gotten a table. So to our dismay, we looked for another restaurant, Trinity came to mind as this was the same restaurant we used to eat at Market Market. It was a very hearty and sumptuous feast indeed. I was wondering what the difference would be if we ate at Aling Tonya's instead in Trinity. Next visit maybe and next time, I'll bring someone na marunong na mamalengke. hehehe

After eating, we said our goodbyes and set up our next meeting which everybody jokingly said to be another 3 years from now, it has to be in Makati, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY we all should not be singles anymore when we all see each other again. hehehe Good Luck to all of us then! hihihi

Second meeting was in Donish's "cozy" pad with Augs, Raz, Jojo and the tropa. hehehe I say it's a new look of the place, much more organized compared to last time. Spacious.. and now, I can also call it, "cozy". hehehe Sang our hearts out 'till wee hours of the morning, we could've lasted more if not for the others going to tralala land at an early time. Leaving Don and I singing songs that we're tired of singing na. hehehe Ya'll be in Boracay next week right? I guess our next gimik will be on the outing na huh?
