thats finnish for 'see you'...

yup, CJ will be leaving for finland in a few days time; six to be exact. but they still have to be in manila so theyll be leaving davao on monday.
thats why we planned a surprise going-away party for CJ at miguel's crib.
we had alotta fun.
food overload indeed. the gluttons had a feast again.
we had some booze of course. but we werent wasted for it came in late and we only had a few bottles.
and add to that some singin. videoke till the break of dawn. no exaggeration. we left miguel's past six already.



guess ill just get used to having no CJ around. and no Lucky as well. theyve always been really good friends.
but im sure im gonna see them again soon.

quick pic: videoke

just cant get enough of it. though i know that the mic already had alot with my beating, screaming and shouting.
though we have our own videoke system at home, its just two-times much fun when youre out with your friends singing your hearts out.
but seriously, im no good at it, singing that is. because if i am, i wouldnt settle for the privacy of our house and of the videoke bars... i would join every amateur singing contest and conquer every stage and even araneta. lol
and thats what good friends are for, to listen to you. not just with your LAME heartbreak stories; but with your LAME singing as well.

tedpen's day

nope, thats not a red date on the calendar.
i just feel like sharing the things that consume most of my precious time.
so here it goes, in no particular order:

1. internet
   a. facebook – yup, imma member of FBA – facebook anonymous. reading every single status update of every friend; playing mafia wars; updating my own status; uploading pics, videos, links. reading notes. commenting on others status message. giving thumbs up. not so many but it surely takes a lot of time.
   b. twitter – posting tweets; reading tweets; following people – celebrity or not.
   c. lookbook – admiring those amazingly put outfits of em; drooling over those designer items
   d. blogs – reading and stalking blogs while maintaining my own.

2. gym – been there almost everyday. addicted to the sauna. just feels so good after.

3. business – our nano-enterprise. our kumikitang kabuhayan. operating it is not a walk in the park.

4. Harry Potter – reading it. seen all the movies but just started reading it lately. now on the 3^rd installment. thanks to bal for lending me all her copies.

5. hanging out with friends – a must.
   a. food trip – buffets, restos, coffee
   b. gimik

kadayawan 09

last weekend was the culmination of kadayawan, our city's grand fiesta.
it was jampacked everywhere. if the malls and streets flooded with people, the famous torres street (a street lined with bars and restaurants) was an ocean of it.

but i actually didnt have any plans of going out that night for first: i dont have any finances; and second: i didnt receive any invites. so i just went to the gym with CJ and had coffee after. where else but at coffee cat. which was only a walk from the gym.
and there we met some old friends. had a great time and a lot of good laugh.

and guess who came in and sat next to our table???

somebody famous...
nah, its not barack.. c'mon.

somebody from showbiz...
nope, its not angelina..

local showbiz, i mean...
and its not kris.

not even boy.

okay, okay... its john prats and sheree...

yeah i know, been talkin to myself again. stop that! ok, ok!!!
godspeed...

coffee cat

lovin coffee cat.
their chai tea latte is my fave.
their cold drinks which they fondly call 'avalanche' are a must try. my personal favorite is the mocha avalanche. which CJ describes as orgasmic! LOL
their bars and cakes are heavenly as well. try their fudge brownie for only 7Ophp.
the interior is great and gives a cozy ambiance. the area is not that spacious so it gets full specially during weekends. it can get really noisy at times with all the people chitchatting. and add to that the music coming from the bar next door.
and as for the service. two thumbs up! fast service with friendly and accommodating crew.
visit them some time. theyre located at f. torres st. near the davao convention center.

gluttons

this was last week at yellow cab. CJ and i shared a 14" new york style pizza. yup! just the two of us. whew! just like what they say, birds of the same feather; eat together. LOL

and guess where i was last night???

yup! you guessed it right.
i was out again with CJ together with miguel. we had dinner buffet at entree at the apo view hotel. and damn, the choices were uber-yummy! *drool*
the shrimps were delightful.
the angus beef was perfect.
sans rival and cheesecake was heaven.
and that's just to name a few.

and the best thing about it?

it was all for free. CJ treated me once again.
million thanks for the million calories! hehe...
i think i lost my abs somewhere... LOL

til the next gastronomic escapade.
godspeed.
