Umu’s unli-sushi and wine plus my gratitude Monday
Umu A couple of weeks ago, one of my best girls and I had an unlimited sushi and drink-all-you-can wine at Umu. Umu is a Japanese restaurant in Dusit Thani Manila, which I found out to be an upgrade of the previous restaurant Benkay, with (claimed to be award-winning) traditional interior and wood furnishings — A wall widely covered with rectangular wood plates written on in Japanese with food ingredients, ropes wound on piles (can’t think of a more appropriate word), huge sake jars, and an al fresco dining area with a koi pond. If the restaurant wasn’t dim, I might have appreciated the place more. But the dim lighting…

Sleepless weekend
I was up Saturday night to Sunday morning as I watched the boyfriend and his friends play Love Letter. I think I used up all my energy until Monday evening when I really shut down after dinner. 😐 Since I stopped bringing my Mac Air to the office, I couldn’t blog (or anything else nonwork-related) _during Pomodoro breaks_ anymore. Well, I’m not giving up on my Gratitude Mondays series. There’s always a next week. LOLOL Grateful to be appreciated for the covers I made for a project proposal submission for APEC. Getting to hang out with friends Drew and Kat last Saturday late afternoon. We haven’t hung out much even…

Vlog 20160116: The choco cocktails are a must try!
As much as I would prefer to stay in and play Battlefront all day, it’s still more fun to be with friends and loves. 🙂 I’m happy my love Phoebe asked us out.

Another Japanese dindins with friends
I have a valid excuse for not being able to post yesterday or for Gratitude Mondays — My website (or probably the server) was loading too slow. That’s not even the first time, but already several times since I switched hosts. My home connection might be a cause too, but I need to experiment further to see which is really effin’ up. Anyway, I’m not going to cheat for Gratitude Mondays by changing the date. Here’s my gratitude log.

Gratitude Mondays: October 26
Last week was pretty busy even until over the weekend. But I’m glad I spent it with the company of friends instead of at work. Grateful that I was able to accomplish my tasks on time that I was even able to assist a co-worker. We’re nearly done with what we have to do for the project because tomorrow is already its final seminar. In spite of getting things done as earlier as possible through dividing tasks, I got told on my leaving early from an OT work last Saturday. A little unprofessional mistake could really say much about a person and even more, based on the opinions of friends…

A weekend of Flores de Mayo, Mentore dinner, and the Moms Day
After I finished ??? E1, I didn’t know what to do anymore on my Saturdays. I was used to studying on that day and Sunday would be partial rest day because that is also grocery day. I then realized I still have so many things to do. Besides de-cluttering my room and second home, I need to go through a lot of documents in three external drives. T_T I’ve deleted many already, but I still have a ways to go. Anyway, I think I had a pretty productive, busy weekend. Makati LGU had the Flores de Mayo activity last Friday. As expected, the Mayflower Queen’s float was the same as…

Another fun weekend of dinner, shopping, and Iron Man 3
Fun times have been had again over the weekend. Again, with the usual suspects. Joiz was finally present! 😀 Friday was good in spite of a slow work day. It became shitty come late afternoon with someone getting furious due to the heavy traffic. The anger was passed to me when I had to rush to a dinner at Max’s with Joiz and Kat and I got stuck on the highway. Jeepney driver could have avoided the traffic _if_ he took a different route. I wanted to push him off the driver’s seat and take the wheel… As if that would make things better. So I tried to chill by…

A Satur-date with Drew and Kat
I remember there were talks of having a Christmas get-together. I don’t think it went how we had initially wanted and this was sort of last minute, but being together was what matters. It was great that Kat came back to Manila even for a couple of days. Only Drew and I could make it to meet up with her though. We had our Christmas date last Saturday, Dec. 22. Lamon ang nangyari! LOL But we didn’t eat so much like how I would usually regard to as eating like it’s our last day on earth. 😛 Our early dinner was at Yomenya Goemon. Safe order — Carbonara with yolk…
