caffeine, sugar and shopping fix

We decided to just stay in last Saturday night because we had planned a gimmick the following day. After preparing the chunky sopas Jon requested, and eating dinner, we spent time watching tv and surfing the net, researching* and blog-hopping.

Our resolve not to go out that night went down the drain the minute we saw a chocolate cake in somebody's blog... a dessert and a coffee to complement it was exactly what we needed at 11pm and we immediately went to the nearest coffeehouse (the newly-opened Starbucks) where we had apple pie with whipped cream on the side, coffee jelly for me, and strawberry frappe for my man.

We didn't use to be these coffee addicts. Come to think of it, a coffee for more than a hundred bucks is too much... why, we can even prepare these at home and won't cost a thing. But why do we even go to these places? Aside from the yummy, frothy coffee... It's the ambience. It's the conversation that we always have sitting at the the comfy corner couch. It's the comfortable silence while flipping on the pages of the magazine and taking a bite out of the yummy pastry before us... So when you think about it, the price u pay is worth every penny. =)

Sunday at noon, Aion, Yna, Jon n I went to G4 Makati to watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Yna and Jon both saw the original film and they were raring to see the remake... After buying our tickets, we had lunch at Shakey's - meat lovers thin-crust pizza and basket of chicken n mojos. Afterwards, we decided to take on their new offer, the eat-all-u-can sundae!!! Yna and I made layers and layers of dips, ice cream and syrup and had this as a result:

Giant sundae shared by 4 - YUMEEEEHHH!!!

Still waiting for the screening time, we went to the newly-renovated SM and bought a gift for Jon's inaanak who will be having a party tom while Aion took care of some business there, til it was time for the movie.

The movie was entertaining and quite enjoyable. Jon said Tim Burton made a better version... and of course, Johnny Depp was brilliant and gorgeous in a weird way... but then again, he's always weird in almost all his movies...

Shopping followed after but we got disappointed coz it was almost closing time... so we headed back home and went to Ruins where we had light dinner and shopped til we dropped. ;)

On a different note (I think you'll know what i mean when i say different *wink*), NBS has an ongoing sale and i finally got my copy of the SBD. Although i pretty much understand the diet's concept (a little similar to Atkins), i'm still reading up to understand it perfectly - and still have time to binge and eat whatever i want before i go on a diet - again.

Jon had been complaining of the way i eat before when I was doing Atkins. He says it's unhealthy. Now i'm sure he'll be quite satisfied with this diet. Even more so when he sees me minus the unwanted pounds...

cross your fingers for me. ;)
