When Good Friends Meet

It's been quite some time since our trio - Mike, Cassey, and I - got together, not since the demise of our Palawan trip a couple of months passed. A lot happened since then, so today we're gonna meet up to celebrate Mike's promotion over good food and kwentuhan galore! ^_^

News of the day: I was, like, 45 minutes late from the original call time of 3 p.m. at Greenbelt 3! But since I had to commute all the way from Cavite, I have all the excuses in the world, right? Honestly, it kinda feels refreshing not to be the early bird for once. Haha! But seriously, I was starving by the time I caught up with them that all I was able to blurt out was “Hi! Gutom na ‘ko!” How’s that for greeting a friend you haven’t seen in a while? LOL!

As per Mike’s suggestion, we headed to Greenbelt 5 to try out Fely J’s, one of the many restaurants from LJC’s restaurant chains. (Think: Abe, Café Adriatico, and Café Havana, among others.) We ordered Lamb Kaldereta and Stir-Fried Broccoli with Chicken Mushroom. Of course, our experience with Fely J’s would not be complete without desserts, so we ordered Sikreto Ni Maria Clara (Glutinous rice and sliced ripe mangoes covered with half-melted vanilla ice cream), Claude’s Dream (Fresh buko strips on macapuno ice cream with pandan jelly), and Tequila Chocolate Mousse Cake which, by far, was a winner for all three of us. You can just never go wrong mixing tequila and chocolate – two of the bestest things in the world! ^_^

After Fely J’s, we dropped by Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf in Greenbelt to have coffee. By this time, Mike was only physically present because of serious lack of sleep. Poor Mike! We stayed for a good deal of another hour before we parted ways going home. True, time spent was a bit short and kinda bitin, nevertheless Mike’s level of humor is always on all-time high even if his entire system was shouting for sleep. I hope the next time that our trio gets to hang out like this would be soon. From the looks of it, 2010 will kick off with a lot of changes as far as my work is concerned. That is, if plans will push through. I’d better brush up on my time management skills, then. That way, there will be more meet-ups like this for our trio. ^_^
