The Holidays: Bawi

Saturday, 12-27-14
So, i did not have the happiest time in my life on Christmas Eve or Christmas day 2014 but i sure did made amends. after work, Carel and I went to the market where clothes are priced half compared to the malls and tiangges (in Eastwood and St. Francis Square). The market was HUGE jam packed with people! There were 2 atriums which made it more confusing. We may have not gone to the other side but i'm not sure. I spent P855 on 11 pieces of clothes. To me, it's already a great deal. I'm not big on brands anyway, so that's fine. The cheapest I bought was a 35 peso blouse which was super cute. i bought 3 identical designs with different colors. the most expensive one was the overrun Zara pants which cost P250. Good thing, i tried it on despite the ocean of people in front of me. Inconvenient, but i had to.

i have never appreciated pancit until that day. it felt like i was going to collapse due to extreme hunger. Thank goodness, there was a carenderia somewhere in the market. pffew!

I went back to the condo, happy. Satisfied. Fine, I sound materialistic. Sorry. But not so sorry. It's the Holidays for crying out loud.

Sunday. 12-28-14
BTW, i slept the entire day after the splurge in the market. Woke up in the middle of the night to do some chores and then slept again. What was i to do?

So, Sunday came. such a beautiful day. i had to go somewhere. was scrolling on Facebook and saw this  photography- themed cafe located in Maginhawa St near UP. I did go, tagging Jen along as she lives near the area. The place was so cute. It's really small but i love the concept. It was nice to hang out with Jen and made chikka about love and relationships. Argh. I'm fond of talking about these stuff, dreaming about it and traveling across the parallel universe with it... but it also frustrates me and pressures  me at the same time. If singlehood is for me, fine. It just saddens me a bit. I should at least try to be in a relationship once, right? Fine.

We had dinner at a cute place called Arty Cafe. It's interior looks like "The Early Bird". it's quite expensive but not as expensive as the menu in The Early Bird.

I returned to Eastwood at around 8:30 PM and met Maam Phame and her college friends @ Starbucks. They had lots of catching up stories.

And then, off we went to the Eastwood Park. While sitting and chatting about stuff.. these happened:
1. the Planet Zips guys were there again. Thought bubble: those toned muscles are hot.. but i'm guessing they're gay. but good looking really, i say, all three of them. it's just a thought bubble. they could be straight.
2. 1:00 AM and still these planet zips guys were still playing with their batons, hoola hoops and poi things... do they have a performance or something?
3. Megaword staff looks so young! they looked like highschool kids with ID's on and monitoring/ supervising the setting up of the stage for the 2015 countdown.
4. Are we in the dark alleyways in Tondo? Some wasted kids were fighting at the far end of the park. The -Kid- looking supervisor and some security staff pacified the situation.
5. A man with a different nationality was stalking mam Phame. It was so obvious! it's weird and scary. not because he's from a different nationality, ok? it's because he was stalking.

That was my Sunday.

PS. Monday morning, had a sort of photoshoot with my roomie. it's my Christmas and Happy new year gift to her.
