When: 19 Nov 2005 The SNO gang were almost complete and we actually went out on a saturday. We haven't been spending much time as a group since each of us has their own thing especially on a weekend. Trex hangs out with Jedd. I hang out with Red. Don sometimes hangs out with Shiela. Thea has her saturday morning classes and is usually tired at the end of the day and would rather stay home. Allan is in Cavite, Las Pinas or out of the country. Glenn is the only one available. Hehehe! But since Jedd left for the US last friday, I was also in Makati, Allan will be going to DLSU, we decided to go out. Thea and I were already in Makati so we went ahead to Tiendesitas. Glenn, Trex and Allan were in DLSU Taft so they just followed. Like us, they got lost a little bit but eventually found their way there. Here's what we did in Tiendesitas: 1. Window shopping - I wasn't able to buy anything. Allan bought gifts for their company kris kringle. Trex bought a glittery scarf/belt which she instantly wore on her head. Thea bought hair accessories. Glenn didn't buy anything as well. 2. Dinner - almost all of us ordered Chicken Inasal and we pooled our money to buy Puto Bumbong and bibingka. I love the bibingka! 3. Picture-taking - since it was our first time in Tiendesitas, we absolutely had to take photos. Thea, Trex & Maan @ Tiendesitas 4. Car Show - Glenn, Allan and I bought tickets which cost P30 each. Trex and Thea would rather window shop. Truthfully, I couldn't care less about cars but I wanted to support this car show since it was organized by one of our OJTs. Glenn had fun checking out the sound systems which were customized into the cars. I also cannot help but be amazed by what they've done with their cars. Nakakabilib! We saw a two-door violet Eclipse which I adored. So I asked Glenn if I can go in and check the interiors. Oo daw! So when he opened the door, the alarm went off! One of the organizers had to call the owner of the car to shut off the alarm. Then there was this yellow car which plays tricks on your eyes. It's yellow but when hit by light it turns it to Pomelo Pink. It also had blue headlights which I loved and wanted to get for my car. Unfortunaley, that costs around P40K according to Glenn and Allan. So wag nalang. Leather seats nalang kukunin ko. How much is the Kitty in the window? Meow meow! After that, we did our last bit of window shopping before heading home. Actually, Glenn went home while Trex, Allan and I brought Thea to Park Square 2 then headed off to Starbucks Leviste to meet up with Don. Since it's the Christmas Season, Starbucks is again offering their planner which you can get for free by collecting their stickers. Since I already got one last year (and I haven't fully utilized it), I don't plan on getting another one. Instead, I'll be helping Don to get his 2006 Starbucks Organizer since he helped me a great deal with mine last year. As usual, I ordered my favorite drink - Hot Peppermint Mocha. It tastes like hot choco with toothpaste which Don hates so he ordered a different hot drink. Allan ordered the usual frap and Trex ordered nothing because she is not a coffee drinker. Our conversation mostly revolved around Pinoy Big Brother and what it would be like if our barkada were to join PBB. We were already discussing our plan and who to evict first. It was hilarious! 2 points for Don for being Kupal. We also discussed our "drawing sa tubig" plans of going to Davao and organizing a Christmas Party for the SNO gang. We talked about the PBB casts such as Franzen who we think is psychotic, Cass and Say who are maarte, Jason & Nene who are our faves and our best bets to win this reality tv show. Of course, our night will not be complete without gossiping about the people we know. Kapag wala ka, pag-uusapan ka! Coffee Drinkers: Don, Maan & Allan Say & Cass: Pasaway Partners in Crime at Starbucks Leviste After more senseless talk, we decided to call it a night. There are plans of going out for dinner next week. Hopefully that plan would push through. --- Special mention: Marianne, we miss you! See you this coming December!

5. Pet Window Shopping - I love cats especially the furry ones like Persian cats. So Thea brought me to this Pet Store where they displayed persian kittens. The minute I saw them, it reminded me of Omy and Misha. Now I am again contemplating of getting a persian cat even though I know that maintaining one would give me a headache. One of the kittens reminded me of Omy so I took a picture of it hoping that if I show it to Mama, she would be encouraged to get one again. While Thea and I were looking at the kittens in the window, Trexyl was again window shopping since she couldn't care less about pets and she is terrified of dogs.
2 points for Allan for being Pasaway.
2 points for Maan for being a Bitch.
2 points for Trexyl for missing Jedd.

Before the start of the long weekend, some of us decided to hang out and just chill. Since almost everyone is saving for the rainy days, we decided to hang out at Trexyl's place and just order in Aling Nene's barbecue.
I picked up Trexyl at RCBC then we picked up Don near the new People Support building. Don called Glenn and told him to go to Trex's place and to bring some drinks and chips.
Trex, as usual, was trying to study for her FINACC quiz. Since Don and I were being a bit noisy, Trex handed me a book which she borrowed from an officemate titled HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU. I read some of it but it bored me after some time. Sometimes I wonder why smart people like me and Trex even bother to read these self-help books. I think they are a waste of time and money. In my opinion, the advice written on the book are also the same advice which you can get from your friends. A lot of people already know the answer to their problems but still refuse to do it. They seek advice hoping to hear the words they love to hear. Maybe this is the reason why Trex, Marianne and I are such great friends. We tell each other the things we want to hear and not the THE-TRUTH-HURTS crap that we get from self-help books. We had enought of those from Glenn and Don. Hahaha!
The delivery actually took about 15 minutes to arrive which was kind of fast. Since we were so hungry, we started eating our barbecues without Glenn. By the time Glenn arrived with the chips and softdrinks, we were almost half finished with our dinner. After that, we just lounged around Trex's sala and waited for Pinoy Big Brother to go on air. I don't usually watch this show but since Trex is an avid fan and watches it daily and her TV doesn't have cable, I watched the show with them.
And I have to say that I ENJOY WATCHING PINOY BIG BROTHER! Some housemates like Cass and Say are so maarte that it's fun watching them. We cannot help but laugh when Cass offered tha Aeta her bra and we had to roll our eyes when Say was crying over 3 inches of her hair being cut off. We think Sam is cute and there's a bit of similarity with Jedd (Trex's BF). Much to Jedd's irritation.
After watching PBB, we decided to take some pictures with our head gears on. I had my devil headband and Trex wore her cowboy hat. The guys had to imrovise so they used the flower decor of Trex and a scarf as head gear. We also get Trex's lei from Hawaii as an addition to our costume. During our photo session, we were able to witness the artistic talents of Glenn.
