The Couple, The Husband, and The Mother

The Couple

It has been more than a year (and 20+ pounds re-gained) since the train incident...


Still wow.


The Husband

Last Saturday, January 27, Dionne and I met with OJ, Bon, N93 (with Allan), Dhang and Irish. In that order. Hehe.

OJ was the early bird. According to Bon, he was already at Gateway at around 11AM, while everybody else came after 12PM. Meeting was set between 11 and 12... Nuninu.

When we got to the food court, OJ was munching on delectable french fries from NYFD. Then he left us to meet Bon downstairs. He was kind enough to offer us the half-full regular-sized bucket of fries. We were quite hungry by then that we couldn't resist eating them... Nakakahiya naman kay OJ kaya we decided to buy large fries! Good thing too, since we still had to wait for the others.

Allan and his wonderful N93 arrived next. Seeing the N93 made me want to hide my N90 in shame...

We then decided to check out the movie schedules. Babel was it.

A few minutes later, Irish and Dhang joined us. Unfortunately, Dhang won't be joining us for the movie because of more important people (drama, hehe). So it's just 6 tickets for us at the center of row K, which I will later realize is a little too far. Row G would've been "optimal". At least according to Richie's theory that the best seats are those that are as far to the screen as the screen is tall. Whatever. Hehe.

Lunch was at Bellini's. YEAH!

Allan, at first, because he thought we were going to Marikina (Shoe Expo), then Gateway. He preferred the latter. OK... After a little explaining by the girls, he was in.

Before 3PM, we were on our way back to Gateway for the movie. I got 2 vanilla lattes for us from our favorite coffee shop, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf.

On to the movie!

The movie was interesting. I got a bit disoriented at first, regarding the sequence of the events. But eventually got it. I must admit that I was more attentive with the parts with the Japanese girl... Haha!

After the movie, we went to Dionne's new favorite clothes shop, F&H. She got a new office jacket at 50% off.

We also went to Bayo and Kamiseta and then Rustan's, to look at wish bracelets, crocs sandals, and the new Wade. *drools*

Before going home, we dropped by Fully Booked to check out the expensive books... We went home with Orson Scott Card's Shadow Puppets, a book on Spanish verbs for Dionne, and Dean Koontz's The Husband.


The Mother

January 29 was Nanay's 52nd birthday. We had lunch at Aristocrat's at SM San Lazaro to celebrate this wonderful occasion. Mommie came with us. Jonjon, unfortunately, was not able to make it from Laguna. He better make up for it next time. Hehe. Meanwhile, Jayson came just before we left. He came from work and looked exhausted. He ate the supposed takeout chicken barbeque right there and then. I'll be awaiting his libre from his sweldo. Nuninu.

Dionne, Mommie, Jeff, Nanay and Mae

Nananaba. Nuninu.

To Nanay, may you have good health and many more years to come! Happy birthday! We love you!

Risky!

Dionne always jokes that if we'd met 5 or 6 years ago, we probably would not have ended up together. Here's why (daw):


I think not! =P



Last Saturday, November 11, Dionne and I went to Gateway Mall to spend the Rustan's gift certificates that were given to us on our wedding by my Nanay's officemates. Items here are somewhat expensive for my taste... We once saw a nice box. It costs around 6k. I would not pay 6k for a box! I would rather buy a nice pair of rubber shoes. Hehe.

Dionne wanted to get a pair of Crocs for us. I hesitated. They're even more expensive than Havs! They do look comfortable though... Something for Christmas? Could be.

We continued looking around until we found ourselves in the toys section. Dionne mentioned that she liked Risk so we looked for the board games there. I remember playing this with Benj, Cors, Ryan and Richie, and enjoying the friendly (aka competitive, hehe) atmosphere.

That's why when we saw this:
We bought it!

Now, who wants to play?



For a long time now, we have been craving for Bellini's. Friends have been saying that the food there was great and reasonably priced too! From Gateway, we made our way to that famous resto.



We were not disappointed. Sarap!



The following day, November 12, we met Cri-c and the rest of her entourage at the LRT-2 office at Recto. Judgment day! Aka, fitting day. Hehe.


No problem! Still sexy... ;)
