I can’t imagine a better weekend than what I’ve had these last few days.

First, the family trip got cancelled so I was able to push through with dinner plans with high school friends. Hooray!!!! It was great totally pigging out last Saturday in Makati. As we waited for our other friends, Laurice, Bryan and I had our first appetizers at Cafe Breton in Greenbelt 3. We ordered something light and sweet. I had fresh mango shake with milk and got the butter and sugar crepe. Bryan ordered the same crepe and  added a blue berry ice cream to his order. Laurice opted to try the Strawberry Sundae. While waiting for our order I got addicted to Bryan’s cellphone game, Zuma and was autistic for the rest of the night doing nothing but playing and eating. After we met up with Maika, we headed towards Gilligan’s in Park Square. There we ordered the set A which already had fixed dishes of teriyaki chicken, sisig, pork barbeque and scallops. We also ordered two plates of rice to go with our mini-feast and an order of my favorite, Better Than Chicharon. Yvette got to Gilligan’s by the time Maika left and we stayed there for three hours, powering our way through the food until not a morsel was left. With our faces and bellies stuffed, we decided to walk around Greenbelt before going to Fuzion for coffee and dessert. Because our stomachs were already stretched to the limit, we decided to share desserts. I ordered white coffee and split a rocky road mudpie with Laurice who ordered cafe mocha. Bryan got the triple chocolate smoothie and split a cheesecake with Yvette who also ordered a fat burning tea. But of course, a long and serious food trip like that also meant that the ride home was also the shortest and the fastest. Hehe. ^_^

Another bright spot last weekend was finally, after two weeks of silence, Michiko has finally contacted me! *tears of happiness* I actually wasn’t able to read the email she sent me Friday evening but she texted me on Saturday morning to ask how I was doing and to tell me that she sent me an email. And yes, she’s back enough to tell me she wants to continue the story we made together. Uwaaaaah! ^_^ And I have so many things I want to tell her, especially about out anime blog. When she gets back here in Manila, she owes me a sleepover plus a long discussion of our plans.

Third happy weekend moment, the Otakuzine anime event in Megamall. I was with Gus from morning til late afternoon but only because he had to leave me alone for his, ehem date. MegaTrade Hall was packed to the rafters with anime fanatics, cosplayers and posers. Why did I say posers? Well, these are the people who only know anime on a superficial level and who only watch dubbed ones. But truly, the event was so much fun! I was in super fangirl mode on for hours! I even managed to convince Gus to wear the Poring (from Ragnarok) suit and wrestle with a kid! Bwahahaha! More details on the anime event on Otaku Shrine.

Cheers to a truly wonderful weekend!
