My birthday weekend last week went so well. Had a little celebration with my best girls (and our boys) on Friday at TRIO at the Fort and then at PIEDRA afterwards for some drinks. Then, had a separate celebration with my darling beau on Saturday night at Chef Laudico's. Yum yum yum. Just remembering what we ate is enough to make my mouth water. On Sunday, not only did Lianne and Sterling arrive in Manila, I had my own little celebration with my family.
Glad this past week was a really short work week because I really really loved the rest days. On Monday, Dennis and I hiked off to Tagaytay to show Lianne and Sterling around in Sonya's Garden. Oh, and we used my new car, which was super cool. I loved seeing him drive my car and get all awed by the transmission, suspension, whatever you call those car things :p Hehehe, spoken like a true girly girl :p
We had a lovely little lunch in Sonya's... actually, it wasn't exactly little, as we had mega tons of food for the P560 per person I paid. We had all you can eat salad, pasta and drinks. My gosh.
Then the boys had a little casino fun, where they won more than 3k bucks between the two of them.. Not a bad haul, for a 40-minute stay in Casino Filipino Tagaytay :p Then we checked out some real estate stuff on Sterling's behalf, bought some classic buko pies and then came back to Manila where we had dinner with our high school barkada. 'Twas a great day. It was nice to relax and unwind, and see old friends :) Dennis really made an impression with Sterling, who later on kept raving about what a darn decent guy my boyfriend is and asking when we're gonna meet up again. Hahaha!
Then Tuesday and Wednesday were really really really light work days. Took half of Wednesday off to take Li and Sterling shopping at, where else, SM! Sterling loved SM's prices, hahahahaha, he bought like 24 items for 5k! Not bad! We also took them to McDo for a snack and it was a riot hearing his reactions to "Wow, they have Chicken with rice here... Eeeew... and Chicken Nuggets with rice... why?!?"
Then Thursday was a total rest day where I did nothing but lounge around and pigged out with my brothers. Friday was me and Dennis having a really lazy day (read: WIFI and Youtube day) with coffee sessions at Coffee Bean and a really long dinner date at Bubba Gump. I love lazy days!
Then today, my parents came home from Germany and Paris, so we all stayed home... and tadaaa... presenting my two new babies, aka the reasons why I'll be destitute for the next few months----
It's my much anticipated LV Epi Speedy in black and Goyard Fidgi in black. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM! I got them both at bargain prices (again, a very relative term, as "bargain" just means cheaper, not cheap) and they are beautiful beautiful beautiful! The leather of the speedy is just exquisite and the Goyard is, as promised, light as a feather. I love the handpainted little chevrons too, and I love love love the texture of it. Such a steal! I love love love love my new babies!
My mom had a pretty good haul too. Esp considering she has way more money than me, hehehe. Note to self: Only buy luxury goods in Europe. Anywhere else is just a ripoff, plain and simple.
Hahahahaha, well, that's to hoping that there will be a next time. It sure won't happening in the near near future... :p
So that pretty much wraps up the past week. Sunday (tomorrow) is the usual family day, then another (full) work week starts yet again. But it's okay. This past week has been so awesome, that the thrill of it will last way until December. Which is when my favorite holiday comes along.
