March 11 Mon's/Mami's Bdays..Due to an unexpected dinner/get-together with my SBC Pakers Family, I went home Sunday afternoon. Nezza sent an instant message Satuday noon. She asked if I was coming for the dinner. I told her that I would try (but at the back of my mind, I may not). I reasoned that my shift would end by 2pm and I had nobody to be with, killing the time, until then. But due to her persistence, she made me come. I told Mon (another Family member) that I would be coming and asked him what will I do until then. He told me to call Joi (his wife and an original Paker) and tell her to come to Makati. I immediately texted Joi (another Family member) if she could come to Makati by 2:30pm.
Since she had to wait for her in-laws, we met at 3:30 pm. We had a hefty serving of burgers at the Chef d'Angelo but we ended up not eating it all up. After that, we went window-shopping, and tried some shoes, sandals, pants and earrings. It just took us an hour and a half, and we still had a lot of time (that was still between 6 and 6:30 pm) to kill. Since I was itching to have my nails done (it had been almost 2 weeks) and have my hair cut (since last year), we went Going Straight. Finally, with a shoulder-length hair and polished nails, we went out from Going Straight with smiles on our faces (it was till 8:30pm). We decided to burn the time in Starbucks, as Joi had been craving for coffee. She got a Frapp but I opted for a hot cappuccino.
At 10:30pm, we headed for Giligan's to have dinner with the Family. We were met Mon, Mike and Wanye. The place was almost full so we were seated on the non-smoking area. At the height of telling stories, while still waiting for the others to come, to our shock, the lights went off. Waiters clamored for their emergency lights and candles were lit. It seems that they do not have a generator so candles were lit. Well, it wasn't a romantic at all. Actually, we had two purpose of having that dinner.
Initially, it was just to hangout but due to unexpected situations, Mon got promoted as team manager. Also, days before, Mami (Kristin) also had her birthday. So, instead of going Dutch, Mon and Mami paid the bill. (Smile) We went to Pier 1 for heavy drinking and had margarita. We were served 5 considerable amounts and stayed until 6am. We only got the hint that they were only waiting for us to go when they turned the seats up the table. Mon, Joi and I were overjoyed since Chos had his car and dropped us by our houses.
Due to this unexpected dinner/get-together (Or was I the only one not expecting it?) with my SBC Family, I went home Sunday afternoon. TrackbacksThe trackback URL for this entry is: http://charlatana.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!828C15F6E83893!454.trak Weblogs that reference this entry
