The long weekend

It was such a great surprise that PGMA changed her mind and declared Monday a holiday. Another long break! Yay!
Friday night was another movie night (with Aion and Gina) at ATC. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were both smokinnnnn in the movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith! Although i didn't really like how the movie ended, it was a good movie nevertheless. We had coffee and some snacks at Starbucks BF right after.

Saturday night, we went food tripping. It was our turn to bring the car that night. (Aside from the money we could save, we started carpooling with the gang coz it's so much fun this way. =) )

First stop was Flaming Wings. We ordered chicken wings for take out and proceeded to Brooklyn Pizza. Now this was another gastronomic discovery! Their pizzas were very similar to Yellow Cab, but more affordable! So yummy too! Aion, Gina, Jon and I were so stuffed after, that the trip to Ruins (Greenhills style-tiangge) was a welcome treat to our full stomachs. This was the first time for Jon and I to go here and we were on shopaholic mode. But, some of the shops were already closing (it was almost 11pm) that i only managed to buy a pair of dangling earrings. Oh well, there's always next time..! =)

The night was young so we went looking for another place to go to. We were so in the mood for dessert that when we passed by an Ice Monster branch in the area, we got excited and got down the car to have our sugar fix... only to be told that the store will be closing in a few minutes.. waaaah! We decided to change venue and went to Westgate Alabang, where we met up with Marlon and Mauie. While the 2 had dinner (they came from a movie date ;) ), the four of us went looking for a way to satisfy our cravings, and someone came up with idea of buying ice cream! Woohoo!!! We trooped to a nearby gas station and bought 2 tubs of ice cream and we feasted on it at Brothers Burgers way after the store closed. It was a fun night of catching up on each other's affairs. =)

At home the following day, i cooked fish steak and brocolli with mushrooms in oyster sauce (recipe to be posted at my food blog soon). Right after lunch, we watched the Survivor All Stars marathon aired at ch.23 and just bummed around all afternoon making kulet and playing like children... heheh ;) That night, we played badminton with Marlon and Aion, met up with Gina right after, had dinner at Jollibee and we went to our place to watch the MTV video awards and our wedding video complete with nuts and popcorn. =) Gosh! After how many times i've seen the video, it still never fails to make me all tingly and warm inside... Especially that part when i'm walking down the aisle... it always leaves me breathless... haaaay... =)

Monday morning, after washing the car, Jon fetched my niece at my old place (they were visiting that day) and while preparing for lunch, we both got in touch with our inner child and played with Chuchay for a while. =)

I love taking pictures of my niece... look at us... these pics are taken on two separate occasions... manang mana, di ba? hahaha! :D

Anyway, after feeding her and bathing her, Jon n I both got ready coz we were going out with my mom and sisters, first to the wake of K8's bf's mom, and then to SM Southmall for some shopping and family bonding time...
