Slumber Parteh!

Christmas Day may have been over, but me and my high school girls went for one last hurrah to hold our slumber party last December 26. Thanks to Rea’s gift cheque, we scored a free night’s accommodation at Bellevue Hotel in Alabang. The four of us – Rea, Sue, Anne, and myself – checked in a little past three in the afternoon, while Sandy was stuck with her future in-laws SO’s folks in Las Piñas so she just caught up with us a couple of hours later. While waiting for her, Suey and Rea got busy hitting on the Magic Sing. (And yes, I’ve had my fair share of a song or two as well.)

Sing it! (Suey and Rea in their "birit mode" moment)

We decided to check out Kanin Club later that evening, where our dinner was al fresco under a cool and windy December night in the South. Oh and by the way, Kanin Club’s Kare-Kare and Crispy Dinuguan are definitely must-try’s! We were supposed to watch the LFS for Dalaw post-dinner, but all three screening times for the movie were SOLD OUT. Wow, talk about box-office hit! So we just headed back to the hotel and decided to download Paranormal Activity 2. While waiting for the torrent to download, us girls didn’t waste a moment hitting on the vodka and champagne, as well some heavy photo ops and chismax galore!

The next day, I woke up pretty early so after taking a shower I decided to explore whatever’s offered for brekkie. I went down to the hotel’s café and ordered a corned beef set breakfast from their menu. I had to wait 20 minutes for my order to arrive, and then realized that the food was as cold as turkey as if the corned beef was taken right out of the can. I’d trade this all for a hot and fresh-off-the-pan Jolly breakfast meal anytime, and to think I was expecting much since I was dining at some fancy hotel! Tsk! Anyway, I went back to the room some 30 minutes later, just as my girls were waking up. We checked out sometime around twelve noon and had lunch at Red Kimono before heading back home.

Burp!

My High School Best Girls

Wow, time did fly so fast when you’re having fun that it seemed like a night wasn’t enough for all the gossips and improvised festivities we had planned. After the holidays, it’ll probably take a while before us five could get together like that again, since we’ll all be busy with work and everything else. I miss my girls already; we've been friends since freshman year in high school, and we're still solid as ever. So I guess here’s to 14 years of friendship! :)
