FUN and TIRING! :)
Like the past holidays, I was looking forward for Labor Day! This means another long weekend, another vacation time! hehe. It was vacation time indeed for me as I had so much activities done for the weekend: Wolverine movie, beauty session, night-out gimik, children's party and biking lesson! :)
Sean and I watched Wolverine around 11pm last Thursday night (looks like we're turning one of them! Kelangan mauna at mapanood kagad! AYAW MAGPATALO! haha). I guess we have the right 'coz we're both fan of X-men! =P The movie was nice pero bitin!!! I'm bias 'coz I always loved Wolverine so kahit 'bitin' ang kwento, I still had fun watching. hehe.
We went home past 1 am and got to sleep at 2 am I think... I woke up at 8 though, since I (and Stef) had an early appointment to the spa salon to get our nails done. Yeah, it's not likely me waking up early just to make myself look pretty! :P But I have no choice, it was Stef who booked for it and I was just coming along with her. The place was called Wax in The City somewhere in Raffles Place. It was a private salon who caters for members only. I thought of considering being a member but their fee was too much!! I don't want to spend $988 just for my nails!! I had a classic manicure and pedicure which I really liked! It's the fourth day already and I still have my (almost) perfect nails! :P I had it colored dark purple which is really cool! The salon uses an OP brand of nail polish which they said was the best. I think I'll give the store a 4.5 stars for the ambiance, nice and friendly staff (may pinoy kasi!=P) and for playing Aiza Seguerra's cd! hehe.
The best part of the beauty session of course, is spending time with my NFF, Stef! hehe. It was nice hanging out with her as I learned a lot about their culture and the people in the office! She is such a bubbly and nice person! We got to talk about everything which is really cool! I missed hanging out with my girlfriends, so being with her just meant a lot! :P I just wished that I could have done something like this with my friends back home. Di kasi maarte mga kaibigan ko e! :P
My nails were perfect for our Friday night gimik at Wala-Wala Bar in Holland Village. We met up with Mark and Serene around 9pm to watch their in-house band. The band was good but it wasn't as great as the Pinoy bands we have. The food was great though --- I loove their chicken wings!!!! And best of all, you don't need to dress up here and you can come as yourself! Unlike other bars where people hanging out are pretentious! A guy in barong tagalog caught our attention and obviously he's pinoy! And guess what, I know the guy! If you work at Philamlife Tower, chances are you know this guy too! hahhaha. "Eng-eng aha" as we call him (ung sa sound effect sa regal shocker), 'coz he's creepy and is literally everywhere! You'll spot him on the most unusual place you'll think he'll be there! As in ang creepy talaga!!! hahaha.
Our Saturday afternoon was mostly spent at Arlene and James' home to celebrate their daughter's 3rd birthday party. Mandy is such an adorable kid!!! Maarte na bibo! :) And like other kids, magugulat ka na lang sa mga hirit nya. Ang cuute, nakaka-gigil! The other Watson Wyatt babies were also there including our inaanak Nicollette, Nathan and Lucas! It just feels great hanging out my 'little' friends as always. :) Sean and I were the only couple who doesn't have a kid and so we were joking that will just pick one kid that we'll bring home. =P The frozen margarita that James mixed was the best! Tamang-tama sa mainit na panahon! Pagdating tuloy sa bahay, bagsak ako! :P
The last day of my weekend was my biking day! :) It has been a week since I started learning how to ride a bike. I'm so glad that I'm progressing everyday! :) Finally, I got to stand and move the two pedals! hehe. My legs were full of bruises though. :( Two or three more sessions at our park, and I'm hoping I could join Seano and his friends with the bike trails! haha, feeling ako!! So, wish me luck everyone! :)
It's another week ahead... Hope I'll be able to make it without much complaints! =P
