Last Minute Meet Ups

November 18, 2017

Coffee Bean Robinsons Galleria and Starbucks Metrowalk

I can say that the best meet-ups are unplanned. I remember, this group once called a "kaladkarin" (Kaladkarin. From the Tagalog word "kaladkad" meaning "to drag", so "kaladkarin" would mean "draggable [is this even English? I don't know] or easy to drag").

Obviously, this was not a planned meet-up, it was just a last minute invites due to some things that I think, can't be scheduled for another day. Then Jay pops up on viber (which is once in a blue moon thing), so we invited him over and surprisingly, he did (again, very unusual). Then the rest is history. LOL!

Kamay Kainan

October 17, 2015

Kamay Kainan Buffet, Trinoma, EDSA corner North Avenue, Quezon City

My first time here. Buffet is really not my thing but because I'm with friends, I enjoyed my super daming dinner. Habhaban na walang bukas eh. For PHP1,295.44 for all of us (PHP323.86/pax) was worth it!

L-R: Encef, Jay, Honey & Girlie

Christmas Get-Together 2014

December 19, 2014

Starbucks, Greenfield District, The Portal, Mandaluyong City

We were celebrating our Christmas this year by having this gathering of people who's been there for quite sometime now. I missed these people. They were all busy with their different lives now but still for the occasion like this, they managed to insert it in their busy schedules. And its like, this is something I always look forward too coz its kinda tradition already, you know. Unfortunately the others had prior commitments. Sad :(

Of course, this gathering starts with a dinner at Icebergs-Robinsons Galleria. Then moved to Veranda but there were no available spaces for us, so we decided to moved to Greenfield District. Sweet catch-up moments, plans, smiles and the laughs. Hayz.. Last year, kinda serious a bit coz they talked a lot about business but this time, travel and adventure. Wow, can't wait for it. Hope I can join them. Cross fingers!

Second Day In A Row

October 6, 2014
Starbucks-Greenfield District, Mandaluyong City

We had dinner at Reyes Barbecue - Shangri-La Plaza. Then went to Greenfield District to continue the things we need to finish before getting late. Thanks for the treat guys!

For the two consecutive days here, same table and same position, I hope you're noticed something in common for the picture here and below. Hahaha

What A Long Day To Call

October 5, 2014

Starbucks-Greenfield District, Mandaluyong City

This was my last stop before calling it a day. At least, this time I'm doing important. Cool!

Catch Up Coffee

October 22, 2014

Starbucks, 2F Robinsons Galleria Veranda, EDSA cor. Ortigas Ave., Quezon City

I already forgot when was the last time we had coffee together. Hmmm.. Since it's been awhile its kinda short time for this gathering for catching up. But its OK at least had great time.

Meeting With Bonne After 2 Years

May 29, 2014
Chicago KTV Bar and Resto, Metrowalk, Pasig City

First and only meeting with Bonne for 2014 after 2 years of being away. I prefer loud talks and laughs or just being silent in Starbucks than in a KTV Bar but I can't deny the fact that I've enjoyed this night. Just loud music and singing along with them. Drinks and foods of course can add the fun. What I don't like this place was every hour, we were charge. The longer you stay, the bigger the bill you gets. For just 2 hours, we were charged of more than P2,700.00 but I think it was worth it coz we didn't pay a single cents coz the receipt were handed to Ms Girlie. LOL! Thanks Ms Girl and Bonne. I love you and miss you guys!

Happy 25th Birthday Jay!

May 4, 2014

I almost forgot your birthday. Oh sorry, actually I did. Sorry, too old to remember. LOL! Lame excuse! Well, refer to old lame saying, "better late than never." Hahaha

Bonding with Jay

March 1, 2014
Marikina City

Nagkita kami ni Jay sa SM Marikina para magpalit ng account name sa Globe Telecom. Tapos nakita namin si Paolo Onesa, promoting his debut album Pop Goes Standards kya nagpa-picture na din ako. Hehehe.. Nagtanong pa nga si Jay, "Sino yan?", ouch naman, kung maka-"sino yan" wagas. Well paliwanag naman ako to the max

Ang tagal namin ni Jay sa Globe kc ang bagal ng service. Kung sabagay nasa customer service kasi hindi naman pwedeng madaliin ang mga nagrereklamo kaya ayon, hintay to the max.

Nagutom kami kya kain na muna kami. Sa Dampa daw kami kakain at dahil matagal na daw gusto dumaan ni Jay sa may river kya doon kami dumaan para matupad naman pangarap ni Jay. LOL! Ang daming nagdi-date, halikan dito, harutan doon. Hayz!

Pagdating sa dampa, kumain kami sa Ilocano's Fortune Grill. Pagkatapos kumain, nagbabalak pa si Jay na kumain ng ice cream kaso sarado na ang ice cream parlor sa malapit kaya ayon umuwi nalang kami.

Sumakay kami ng jeep to Calumpang tapos from Calumpang nilakad namin hanggang Jollibee-Ligaya para lang mag-CR hanggang Mcdo-Santolan para lang sa ice cream ni Jay. Hahaha.. Saan ka pa! Ang saya lang. Sa uulitin!

A Christmas and Year-end Gathering 2013

December 26, 2013
Starbucks, Robinsons Galleria Veranda, EDSA Corner Ortigas Ave., Quezon City

Since we (Ms Honey, Ms Girlie and I) arrived at Robinsons Galleria earlier than the others, we decided to have our dinner at Bonchon. I ordered Thigh Ricebox (1pc) with regular root-beer for PHP95. 

When the boys arrived, they've decided to transfer to Mang Inasal (Jay's choice). When we arrived at Mang Inasal, the place were so messy and dirty! The floor were very dirty and wet, the tables had dirty plates and so messy. Can't find a clean table anywhere in the area. It's like an abandoned but operating place. So we ask assistance to clean a table for us. There's an attendant who clean the table just for us but he never clean the messy tables next to us. OMG! Few minutes later, an old lady slipped. She called the attention of the store manager and demanded for an explanation of a dirty wet floors. Oh gosh, so disappointing place.

After dinner, we moved to starbucks for the usual business or should I say for a 'business meeting'. Hahaha.. Couple of days ago, this group talks a lot about business but for some reason, it slowdown. Then Robert, opened-up the topic for some discussions. Then never realized, all throughout the meeting talked about business. Nice!

A Productive Meeting!

November 22, 2013
Starbucks, Robinsons Galleria Veranda, EDSA Corner Ortigas Ave., Quezon City

So far this is the most productive meeting. And I guess everything is about to be finalized! And from now on, I'll be expecting more meetings to come. 

"Roll-up lang? Wala bang roll-down?" Waley hirit!

"At last, may part na din ako, taga compute" proud address of participation!

Shocks, kahit anong isip ko di ko na maalala ang ibang lines. Hahaha.. Update ko nalang to pag maalala ko na. Tulungan nyo nalang ako guys kung ano un.

Business Meeting (New Proposal)

November 15, 2013

Cafe Adriatico, Gateway Mall, Cubao, Quezon City

Serious business daw to! Pagkatapos ng isang naudlot na business, sana ito tuloy tuloy na! 

Pero bago un, ikwento ko lang na first time kong makapasok dito. I think kami lahat (just guessing). Restaurant talaga ito pero dahil may nakita kaming drinks sa labas kya pumasok na din kami. Binigyan kami ng menu pero di namin nakita ung mga inumin na un kc pala nasa separate na menu na hindi binigay sa amin. Hmmmp

I ordered Sans Rival Frost for P130. Super sweet kya super like! Perfect!

Ilang buwan na din kaming di nagkita-kita as a group kya super sayang makita bawat isa. Ang kulit lang kc kami lang ang maingay sa loob. Ginawang tambayan lang kc. Wala naman kami ibang order kundi drinks lang tapos kwentuhan na este business meeting (daw) na.

Sa uwian, napagtawan pa ang TBA na yan. Hahaha kulit! Naliligaw!

Pre-Happy Birthday Edlen!

August 26, 2013

Robinsons Galleria-Veranda, EDSA cor. Ortigas Ave., QC

It's Edlen's pre-birthday treat! Wow, gulat ako. Di ko inakala, promise! Paano ba naman kc may babala na walang treat na magaganap. Maybe kc late ako. Hahaha.. Akala ko ako na ang pinakahuling dadating un pala, ako talaga. Toinks! Kc ung taong nag-set ng meeting na to ay hindi nakarating kc nakalimutan daw. Ayon tuloy biglang nagkasakit. Ay teka lang, baka naman totoong nagkasakit, bigyan naman natin ng benefit of the doubt. LOL!

Anyways, Happy Birthday, Edlen! Thanks sa treat!

Hmmmp.. Meron bang taong inaalayan sa look na to?

Ending, Robinsons Galleria!

May 20, 2013

Robinsons Galleria - Veranda

I kinda miss everyone of them. Good thing naisipan ni Ms Girl magpatawag ng coffee. Since mayroong bagong bukas na mall (SM Aura) na medyo malapit, sinaggest ko un. Accordingly, si Edlen ay on call sa bahay kaya di pwede, so sa Gateway, Cubao nalang daw. Meron akong babayarang bills kya kailangan maaga akong pumunta para makapag-ikot-ikot na din dahil matagal na ako hindi lumalabas ng bahay (even in the neighborhood). Pagdating na pagdating ko sa gateway, nagtext sa akin si Jay na sa Galleria nalang daw kc daw pupunta si Leo. Oh, well, nandoon na din lang ako, ikot-ikot muna ako sa mall hanggang sa hinanap ko nalang ang bago kong kinababaliwan ang Mango Cheesecake ng Blizzard! Yikz!

Wala palang Sun Cellular sa Gateway kya sa Robinsons Galleria nalang ako magbayad ng bill. Anyway, I think isa sa mga reason kung bakit di natuloy sa Gateway kc wala si Edlen. Aw! Treat ni Ms Girl coffee ko kya thank you so much. Nag-demmand pa ako ng Vanilla Cream - Venti (with the little help of SB coupon). LOL!

Hayz, bakit kya masaya kasama ang mga to kahit na walang napag-usapan kc busy ang lahat (Ms Girl sa laptop, Leo is working, Jay sa iPad so ako pretending sa maganda kong CP na walang cover). Just seeing them is more than enough to smile!

We Are Complete!

March 21, 2013
Starbucks Araneta, Cubao, QC

Hindi pangkaraniwan ang araw na to dahil may ipapakilala si Edlen sa Grupo. At dahil doon kumpleto kami. Ito palang ang pangalawang pagkakataon na kumplero ang SMAFTS. A rare moment!

Introducing Geraldyn Mae Lee, not yet an official girlfriend of Edlen (kasi sa 27th pa daw). Ah, di naman halata sa pictures eh. Mukhang ka-kilala nga lang nila eh. Hahaha.. Hula ko, bago maging official na mag-on sila nagkapalit na sila ng mukha. PEACE! ♡

Naalala ko lang ang sinabi ni Jecelle kaninang umaga na nagulat sya kung bakit naka-polo si Edlen kc may date daw pala. Noong nakita ko nga, nagulat din ako. Mukhang pinaghandaan nga talaga ang araw na to. Nakz naman!

Nakaka-miss man ang ganitong pangyayari. Kaso di pwedeng magtagal ang karamihan kya nabitin ako sa pagkakataon. Parang ang dating tuloy every minute gusto mong i-treasure. Noong pagpaalam na sina Edlen kasama si Robert, umuwi na din kami. Shocks wala pa yatang isang oras kami magkasama.

Backtrack, si Leo naiinip ng maghintay sa amin sa SB dahil sa foodcourt ng Gateway kami nagkita-kita at kumain pa si Robert sa dala ni Ms Girl. Gusto ko pa din sana kumain kaso di na kami nakakain. Sabi pa nga ni Leo, nahihiya na daw sya sa mga nagtatanong ng upuan kc di nya binibigay dahil ni-reserve nya sa amin. Aw!

Leo is back!

March 8, 2013
Trampers Retailers, Inc.

Look who's with us? Leo is back! Oh, he just visited us for a cup of coffee. Hahaha!

First Meeting with Leo for 2013!

February 26, 2013
Veranda, Robinsons Galleria, QC

Nag-shopping si Leo tapos noong nagutom na sya, kumain muna sya sa Greenwich kya doon na namin sya kinatagpo. At dahil gutom na din kami ni Jay, kumain na din kami. Pagkatapos kumain dumiretso na kami sa SB. Doon na namin hinitay si Ms Girl. Sayang lang at di kami kumpleto. Di na tlga ata to mabuo. Hehehe..

Leo, Jay, Encef and Girlie

Happy Birthday Bonne!

February 5, 2013

Birthday ni Bonne kya let's celebrate! Ay wala pala sya, sige tyo nalang. Hehehe.. Nagkita-kita kami sa Market! Market! at kumain sa Shakey's, treat ni Ms Girl. Kasama namin ang tatlong officemates ni Ms Girl na dalawang OM at si Bam at kasama din namin ang kapatid ni Bonne na si Lyn. Daming pagkain kya super busog. Dahil di na naubos, binalot nalang ung iba. Pagkatapos kumain, nauna na ung mga officemates ni Ms Girl umuwi. Mukhang OP ba sila or sadyang awkward lang ung situation kc sila formal at kami jologs. Hahaha. Pag-alis nila, kulitan lang at tawanan. Pati ung waiter nakipagkulitan sa amin. Haha kulit lang. Pero dahil pasara na sila, kya lipat venue, this time Starbucks.

Balita ko libre parin ang drinks courtesy of Lyn. Wow, thank you so much for the sponsor guys! I love this night. 

Para mabati naman namin ang celebrant kya nag-open kami ng skype eh kaso ang dala kong laptop ay restricted at ang lahat na apps ay tinanggal ng IT namin. Ano ba yan! Kya ayon, end up downloading.. sana mag-work! Cross fingers! After 10 long years natapos din ang download. At nag-work naman. Hayzz.. Salamat at nakita din namin si Bonne mula sa malayong bayan na nasa labas ng Pilipinas. "Happy birthday, Bonne!" Eh sa kadahilanang ang bagal ng internet connection kya ilang minuto lang, minsan nga segundo lang napuputol na ang call. Bitin naman to masyado. Wala pang wifi. Pero ok lang kc sulit parin ang gabi dahil sa daming tawanan. Kahit na antok na si Rich, at si Jay busy sa game sa iPad ni Ms Girl masaya parin.

Lumalalim na ang gabi kya uwian na. Lakad papuntang sakayan ng jeep pero noong nakasakay na si Lyn, akala ko tuloy-tuloy na pero another round of tawanan pa. Kala ko nga di matatapos ang gabi eh. Sarap talaga, kc parang ayaw mong tapusin ang gabi dahil masaya lang. Parang walang inaalalang problema sa buhay.

Naman! Sa uulitin guys! Can't wait!
