every once in a while, its good to have a getogether with old friends from gym just to chill out on a friday nite. starbucks was the chosen venue for this getogether to celebrate the birthdays of lyn and ian, both june celebrants. and what a way to celebrate this by having 
pansit bihon and lumpiang shanghai , among other foods, and YES inside Starbucks! ok ok just before u get confused and look stupid ordering bihon and shanghai from ur favorite starbucks outlet, foods were brought to the venue by some guests for the potluck bday party of the 2 celebrants. i dont think its really allowed to do such parties in any starbucks outlet but this was made possible only thru the "connections" of dear friend beth who knows someone from that particular branch. well of course we have to order all our beverages from starbucks AND clean up the place after (imagine leaving behind bilaos, bbq sticks on starbucks tables! heheh). the getogether went pretty well - catching up on old friends i havent seen for quite awhile, small talks on the side, seeing new people around, and most of all sharing good food with everyone.

> it was a foursome movie thingy last nite with arvin, rach and lyn. been so hot to watch "The Happening" but the group just opted to see "Get Smart" instead, due to the bad reviews of the former. so i might just end up watching M. Night Shyamalan's latest thriller on dvd or ALONE! grrrr....
> woke up early sunday mornin (around 4am) seeing my surrounding pitch black when i remembered leaving my bathroom lights open when i got home around midnite.....creepy?? not really, i realized after few moments of being OA...brownout lang pala!!! typhoon "frank" was making its presence felt in manila early this morning. strong winds and heavy rains knocked down some trees right outside my building. the weather pretty much ruined my typical sunday routine - lunch with mom, doin groceries and pt session in the gym. but then i decided to just spend my entire day cleaning up my place, not a bad idea.
> its gonna be a crazy week in the office when the "re org" will be officially announced. worse, a possible workforce reduction looms. hoping things will be fine for everyone next week
