Carwash (Pick Up Lines Chapter 15)

24hr Carwash
Mandaluyong
08.30.11




The heavy rains over the weekend left Blake messy and dusty, and since the sun took a peek that day, it was time for his bath and headed straight to my suki.


I had to wait for a good 20 minutes for my turn, and when I got off, I noticed a black BMW hatchback pulled next to mine.  Aba, aba! Talo si Blake! hahahaha Choowee Blake :)


I tried to take a peek at the driver.  He was young, gahd, he even looked 18 years old, curly black hair, pinkish white glow, mestizo, had those geeky black glasses on, simple white shirt over black shorts.  Casual yet he stands out.  I tried to ignore him and hurried towards the lounge sofa and proceeded to take hold of the TV remote controller and scanned channels.  Ahhhhh.. Gossip girl was on. hahahaha  Imagine the look on the other drivers! hahahaha ;)


He followed inside and sat behind me.  Hmmm… curious also with Blair Waldorf?? hahahaha or Chuck Bass?? :)  The rest showed disinterest and read the papers instead. hehe  Sorry.  VIP.  Chos! hahaha


After a bit, I got out to check Blake.  He was almost done, and I was standing alone in front of Blake when the guy stood next to me.  Imagine that his BMW was serviced besides the car behind me, i.e, far.  Uhm, ok.  My heart skipped a bit. hahaha Exagg! hehe


He then proceeded to check out my car.  Darn. Kinabahan ako, I was anticipating his eyebrow to raise and words of criticism to come out of his mouth.


Guy: 'Nice seats.  Mind if I take a closer look'


Sheet.  English. hahahahaha


Hush: 'Sure.  Have a look' or was it better to say, take a closer look?? hahahaha Kaba much.


G: 'Ganda.  Did it come with the car?'


H: 'Nope.  I had them custom-made, just here in Mandaluyong'


G: 'Where?  Seatmate?'


H: 'Yah, how'd you know??'


G: 'I wanted mine made' , points at non-tinted hatchback.


H: 'hmmm… nice ride.  Eh, why'd you want it made, the seats are cozy enough' (kunyari unimpressed.  Char!!)


G: 'coz I get lazy cleaning it up. (chuckles)  It's so much easier if it's leather, but, the problem with my car is that the airbags are at the side, so they told me it's hard to do'


H: 'Ahh. Ok.  You live within the area?  Haven't noticed you around here'


G: 'Pasig, but I frequent this place.  I'm just visiting my auntie'


H: 'Ahhh.. Student?'


G: 'Yah, medschool.  UE'


H: 'At Recto??  You drive that thing there?  I don't even bring my car at Quiapo!'


G: 'I know right.  I even lost one of my mags while parking outside.  My shift was at 7am til 8pm, and when I got back, wala na'


H: 'Man, that's crazy.  You park along the streets??' (oh diva, nakikisabay sa pagka konyo! hahahahah)


G: 'If I can't find a slot inside.  Usually, I shelf out to the guards to park inside the campus.  Then, then, I just had to remove my tint.  The MMDAs keeps bugging me on what's inside my car, and ask for ID! So better have it removed so they can just peek'


H: 'But that's exposing yourself, especially if you drive late at night'


G: (shrugs) 'Ganun talaga.  I take the Fortuner with me pag ganoon'


Natahimik ako.  Aah. ok. hehehe Blake was done already.  


As I pulled out of the garage, I noticed him staring at me.  I smiled and put my shades on.  I soooo wanted to wave at him and send him flying kisses, but I took a grip of myself.  hahahaha Next time.  He said he frequents my suki.  I'll just stumble upon him.  And then, I could get his number :)  Char! 


There's something about him.. and his car! hahaha


*hush, hush*

Sway to the Rhythm of Love

Finished watching No Strings Attached :) Haaay..  Sappy morning everyone! :)



When the moon is low
We can dance in slow motion
And all your tears will subside
All your tears will dry

Take me by the Tongue

Opus
8.27.11




This song is making waves at bars!  I heard this first at Chelu (but not Obar! tsk tsk) and I finally got the title of the song! hahahaa I had thought this was entitled Moves like that, I must have been drunk :(



Just shoot for the stars
If it feels right
Then aim for my heart
If you feel like
And take me away, make it okay
I swear I'll behave


Take me by the tongue
And I'll know you
Kiss me till you're drunk
And I'll show you


Love, love! :)  I am affected by the lyrics! hahahaha


Bring in the Grey Goose!! hehehe


*hush, hush*

Learn the Art of Letting Go

Resto 101 @ Enderun

Enderun

Mckinley Hill, BGC

I have been keeping myself busy lately and have read great reviews on this restaurant within a school ;)  So I was giddy to try it out one fine night where the stars were twinkling and the moon smiling. hehehehe

I knew it was somewhere in Mckinley Hill but my friend and I got lost somehow. hehehe I had thought it was just besides the Venice-inspired mall, but apparently, it was behind it and poor Blake had to make a U-turn. hehehe  But it was worth it.  Parking alone spoke for itself, the array of Chedeng, BMW, Chrysler, Monteros.. and Blake. hahahaha :) 

The facade resembled that of an old church (didn't take any pictures, my poor E72 couldn't handle it hehehe) and we were curtsied to Restaurant 101.  Such simple name! hehe

This was what greeted us..

My gahd!! Ang gondah!! hahahaha I've always fancied lamp fixtures on the ceilings and this was by best.. uhm, fancy? hehehehehehe It set the tone for what was to come that night. Plus, plus, the waiters were.. uhm.. delectable?? haahhaha They were students from the Enderun College and they were soooo, uhm, prim and proper. I like :)

I took a look at their menu.  Darn!! The review I read must have referred to their lunch serving, Php300 for a trio-combination of soup, main dish and dessert.  

I skimmed down further.  Acccck!!  Each dish cost Php600 the least! hahahaha Sh*t.  There was no turning back now. hahahaha Might as well enjoy this.  Sh3t! hahaha

The cute waiter was asking us for our drinks.  I decided to have the mango shake, and I noticed my friend gave me quizzical look. hahahahaha  Ok, ok! I'll opt for the red sangria wine instead. Hmf.  I forgot this was a fancy restaurant I was in. hmf. 

It was yummy. hehehe Per my friend, Sangria is wine mixed with fruits, so essentially, it's like punch… and what a punch it delivered!  That glass made me tipsy after!!  I had wanted to order another glass, but decided not to as I was literally swaying when I went out.  Loser! hahahahaha

I didn't order any appetizers, despite the plea of the waiter for me to try their chef's special for the day (ham something), so I ordered soup. French Onion, gruyere cheese, multigrain croutons, to be exact.

Uhm.. it was something unique.  I could feel the mozzarella cheese mixed with the sweet onions in it.  I was trying to compare it to the other soups I've tasted, but this stands out.  I had it paired with their complementary bread and it was soothing on a cold night.  Not bad… though not good either.  Somewhere in between :)

Then off to the main entree :)  My friend had this, Slow roasted Kurobota Pork Belly, with balsamic adobo glaze garlic rice and green mango atchara.  I took a bite of it and it was yummy.  hehehe  Sorry, I just don't know how to enunciate yummy in other parlance. Chos :)

My dish was Chicken Basquaise (don't ask me how to pronounce it, I had to ask the waiter :p)

It was a delightful experience!! :)  The blend of both bacon and chicken was purrfect!!  The chicken melted in my mouth, while the bacon added texture to it.  The potatoes fit well with the dish, so it won't be too boring.  It was like Filet Mignon, chicken-style!  Ay lavet! hehehehehe

Set-back? Php1,000 per head. hahahahahaha :p

I didn't mind shelling out a thousand bucks though.  Once in a while, I treat myself to a nice restaurant, a fine-dining one indeed.  It was sooo worth it.  I would definitely recommend highly, especially dinner time.  The ambiance is just worth the price.  I could not imagine eating out during lunchtime at 101.  The lighting would probably be different.

Finally, I've found the purrfect restaurant to take my date to.. Hmmmm.. now if I can only find the purrfect guy :p hehehehe

*hush, hush*

O Lamp

Finally had time to buy bulb for my lamp at the Galleria.  This creates a purrfect ambiance to think ⎝⏠⏝⏠⎠relax⎝⏠⏝⏠⎠

Crazy STUPID Love (♥)

Shang Cineplex
08.20.11




After accompanying me at the Medical City for check-up, Rocio decided she won't push through with her part-time work for a common friend (given that the routine took us until 2 in the afternoon!! Sorry Sho).  I was being an ass of late, coz I wouldn't go to the clinic to have myself checked given my latest condition.  She insisted and I am grateful.  Frankly, it was depressing to think of going to the hospital to have those checks alone :(


I mentioned that Crazy, Stupid, Love was showing already.  I had planned to watch it with Mike (uyyyyy! nagpaparamdam ulit! hahahaha) but he had work tomorrow and might just dozed off.  That would be a boring date! hmf.


Sho was giddy and eager to watch it and we booked ourselves for the 3.50pm screening at the Shang.


Hay.  The movie was sooooo nice :)  It was a feel-good movie, and would be have been purrfect had I been with somebody to cuddle with. Darn. hehehe  It was worth the 2-hour play, and the twists of discovering that the thing you've been avoiding, of falling in love, and masking it with promiscuity will eventually slap you at your face!  Literally!  And to somebody you've been teaching to move on from the hurt caused by the downfall of a relationship.  Plus the light touch of comedy injected by Steve Carell was refreshing to an otherwise typical love story. :)


Darn.  As in all other movies, I get to relate it with my personal experiences.  Hehe  Lately, I've been tired of being nice, of being true, of showing good intentions when I date.  I find that it's tiring, and probably boring and without challenge to the other person, because I tell them (them talaga?? hahaha) that I like him (sige na nga, kasi di naman sabay-sabay!) and try to work things out.. and eventually, that became a recipe for disaster!  So I stopped, went to Malate and kiss boys.  No strings and feelings attached.  Period.  Even my status message at PR was mean! hahahaha and if somebody ugly messaged me, I told him to bug off!! hahahaha and they would say I was being snotty, and I get joy when I respond back, I know right?? hahahahaha

.. then this movie.  Tsk tsk!! hahahaha I realized, and cliche, cliche, that these pains serve as spice on why we love.  The 13-year old son of Steve Carell almost gave up on love, of finding his soulmate (gahd, the innocence of the boy is sooo real), that such love can never exist, given the recent break-up of his parents, who ironically met at the tender age of 17.  Hay. hay. hay.  Gugmang G.atay!! hahahaha


I realized, nah, I will continue to find that love :) Chos! hahaha  That love I deserve and I guess deserving of what I can offer also :)  Love should be happy and uncompromising, of meeting half-ways and agreements.  Should it fell short of expectations, then it was never meant to be and should be let go of.  These pains will eventually build stronger walls for me to lean back should I ever fall again :) weeeeeh! Inspired?? hahahahaha


And so I end on this note from the movie:


I shouldn't have jumped from the car, I should have fought for you.. Because I should have fought for my soulmate, or at least that's what my 13 yr old son told me


Ganda, ganda!! hehehe




PS - Uhm, O.bar muna ako mamaya. hehehe Kung saan, well :)
