Sama-sama tayong...

 

 

   ...Malunod sa tsokolate, mga kaibigan.  Nang ma-experience nyo kung paano maloka sa asukal.

Death by chocolate, anyone?

I once wondered what it would have been like to swim in a chocolate river a la Willy Wonka & the Chocolate factory. I lived near the Goya candy factory in Marikina and thought the water tank I could see from outside was a real Boom-Boom Lollipop with lots of chocolate inside.

After experiencing Tsokolate-Ah at The Lobby, Manila Peninsula in Makati last week, I think I've gotten close to what it would've felt like to drown in chocolate.


The chocolate buffet is open from 9pm to 12mn on Fridays & Saturdays at The Lobby and the wallet damage is Php 550.



You can order just water, of course, but to fully enjoy the experience you might as well have dinner there before the buffet, which starts at something like Php 850, including the buffet.



I am very, very sad to realise that I couldn't try everything!




There was just too many of them and all of them are absolutely divine!




I had to drink latte to counter the sweetness.




Oh.




My.



God.



I'm in chocolate heaven.




I am pathetic. After that first plate, this is what happened. I could not eat any more, even if all the cells in my body wanted to.




It was enough for me to just look at them.



Chocolates, chocolates, chocolates...



Unfortunately, I had to surrender. I was on the verge of throwing up and I was hyper then I crashed and gotten confused and GAAAARRRRHHHH!!!

Ok, I just went loopy there. Sorry.



After that sugar high, guess where we went afterwards?



Yup.

Umno is an attack site.

I didn't say so, Firefox did (do not click if using shite browser like IE, please).

Link to UMNO Official website

Cue: Jokes in office about visiting Umno being akin to opening a can of worms (and embedding it in your computer).


In other non-related news, me maikz Zaid Ibrahim looks teh prettyz.

[ I just got out of a discussion about practice / practise, British spelling versus American, and whether the word we were using counted as a noun or a verb -- the LOLspeak spillover effect has to happen somewhere else. *pats blog*. Yeshhh, my prettays... ]

Pasampal naman, wan taym lang.



   Masama na kung sa masama, pero medyo nakaka-umay kasama ang mga taong bagong inlab.


Eto kasing kaibigan ko, 3 years nang single at 5 years nang kinakarir and landian sa isang guy.  Nagbunga naman ang kalandian dahil sila na rin, recently lang.  Oha! Yan ang tinatawag na determinasyon, mga kapatid!


So anyway, wala namang problema dun.  Ang ayoko lang, eh yung pag-akyat nya ng Tagaytay every weekend (nang mag-isa at nagko-commute, take note) para dalawin ang pag-ibig nya.


Aaaaaaaaaaat, di ko kinakaya ang mga kwentong kinikilig sya ng todo-todo pero wala namang dating sa akin -- in short, di talaga nakakakilig kasi wala namang romantic na nangyare.  Basta lang kelangan ang kwento may tili-tili with mega umiikot pa ang pwet.


Meron pa!  Di marunong magluto yun, at dati galit pa yan kung kelangan i-microwave pa ang pagkain nya.  Pero ngayon, kariran na mag-prepare ng putahe na enough para sa isang linggo para sa kanyang minamahal.


Dyuskupo.


Sana lang hinay-hinay sa pagbigay.  Kasi been there been that na ko sa ganyan at soooooooooooobrang sakit kung after ng todo-todong effort na yan eh gagaguhin ka lang.  Di naman sa pessimist ako (although ganun na nga), eh concerned lang ako kasi usually ang mga kasintahan na nilalagay sa pedestal ay lumalaki ang ulo at feeling nila mga royalty sila.  


Ano ba ang feeling ng manampal ng inlab?  Gusto ko lang matauhan eh!  Hahaha!

FS Picks This Week December 1-7

 

Woohoo! I'm back! Thought this blog wouldn't be updated, didn'tcha?

To everyone who dropped by over the weekend, my HUUUUUUGE thanks! I've been away with my friends to a nice resort, which I will show y'all soon where. As I was away in the boondocks, I had to do without internetz for a couple of days. I was having panic attacks, you wouldn't believe it.


So anyway, Frustrated Sosyalera's going to the movies this week. There are a few good ones coming out, so I've decided to concentrate on films today.

These are the movies opening this week in Manila:




RocknRolla

Starring
Gerard Butler
Thandie Newton
Jeremy Piven
Chris "Ludacris" Bridges

Director
Guy Ritchie

I'm definitely out to catch this one. I'm a big fan of Guy Ritchie's "Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrells" and I think Gerard Butler and Jeremy Piven are excellent actors, so they're reason enough for me. However, Rotten Tomatoes had only given it a 58% rating, so that's a downer. That's not going to stop me, though!






Pride and Glory


Starring
Edward Norton
Colin Farrell
John Voight


I'm a bit weak when it comes to Edward Norton films. Trouble is, just the title of this film is already turning me off, besides the fact that I don't fancy Colin Farrell much. But since Ed always brings out a good performance, maybe his acting could save this film.





Quarantine

Starring
Jennifer Carpenter
Steve Harris


I have no opinion... yet. I'll let you know when I see it. Heh.




Four Christmases

Starring
Reese Witherspoon
Vince Vaughn


Since it's December already, christmas movies have begun tumbling out. I've heard that this one, though, isn't that good. Vince and Reese, apparently, have no chemistry. So, maybe I'll pass. I'm not too keen on christmas films anyway.
