October 5 was one of the best days I’ve had this year! That day was my dear buddy Tisha / Patutti Frutti’s 18th wherein she celebrated it with her friends and family at Makati Shangri-la and Greenbelt. To kick things off, we ate our hearts out at the Circles buffet in Makati Shang wherein we had about four to five plates each of dessert and main course! As for me, I was able to return to the smorgasbord four to six times to get seafood, roast lamb, roasted chicken, California Maki sushi, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate from the chocolate fountain…and the list goes on to describe how happy my tummy was during those moments! My appetite was so large my friends already teased me about it. For about an hour and a half, my friends and I were eating while talking about anything under the sun.
Following the lunch, we walked to Greenbelt and headed to Timezone. But right before that, Tisha decided to treat us to Taken 2 which was what we did after playing arcade games since the next screening was already about 4 in the afternoon. Now in Timezone, we all took turns shooting the zombies in House of the Dead 2 ! Defeating the boss in the game can’t get any more fun without the help of your friends. Monzie, Tisha and I also had our snapshot taken at the photobooth inside. The funny thing is, we actually fought over selecting the best shots because I accidentally chose the one where I was answering the phone to talk to my mom! It was a real LOL moment but at least we had better snapshots ahead!
When there was about thirty minutes into showtime, we all headed to Starbucks for a couple of drinks. I really missed the smell and vuluptous taste of mocha frappe! Speaking of Taken 2, it didn’t disappoint me despite never having seen the first movie. I don’t even know why a lot of people consider it as the “worst sequel ever” to begin with! Anyways, we met up with Tisha’s aunt and cousins after the movie for a dinner at California Pizza Kitchen. A shameless confession: I last ate at CPK in 2004 during my mom’s office Christmas party. Thank the lucky stars CPK and I crossed paths again after eight years. All I would have to say is that their pizza and pasta is just as good as ever. During the dinner, Tisha’s aunt and cousins were telling lots of stories which made us delightful the whole time!
Thank you so much to the birthday girl Tisha and her fam and our friends for this awesome day! Now the camera rolls in 3…2…1…there you go to do the talking!
Patutti Frutti and moi!
Tisha with the waiters singing “Happy Birthday” to her! What a lovely surprise!
After lots of begging, Monzie finally got to convince the forever camera-hating Kevs to have a photo!
Inside the Makati Shang CR! I am the “long-legged astronaut” - Monzie 
Inside the photobooth (while Kevs played something else for obvious reasons lol)
Thank you Monzie for these shots even though I forgot my memory card at home! Still waiting for the pictures from Tisha’s new SLR!
***The next day was LASARE2 and it was fun! This week has been really hectic that’s why I only got to update Tumblr yesterday. But anyhow, school is going really well and my breaks are great especially when I’m with my friends!
