Banchetto 11-11-11

November 12, 2011 Recommend No comments

When I read about the wishing lantern event of Banchetto through Facebook, sinabihan ko na agad friends ko para magkita kita na rin kami. Walang nag confirm agad so wala kaming nabiling lanterns. Mabilis kumalat yung announcement through Facebook, e. But we still decided to witness the event itself plus to eat as well.

Nagdala ako ng comfy clothes na ipapamalit sa work clothes ko kasi na-anticipate kong maraming tao talaga lalo na may event pa. Pina-ship ko pa nga thru LBC yung work related things ko para hindi hassle sa akin pati na sa mga tao along the food area.

Nakipagkita ako with J and friends, Tin and Aubrey sa Megamall around 7pm. We also happened to saw one of our college classmaate, Geranie too! She was waiting for her brother so they can go home together. We were also informed that the lantern activity wont push through because of safety reasons. Okay then. Good thing I was with my food buddies so carry lang naman na walang lanterns; wala rin naman kaming lanterns na napa-reserve e. Pigout kung pigout lang. Also, nagcra-crave ako at si J ng kebab. ;)

Pag labas namin ng mall, umaabon. We walked our way to different taxi terminals but to no avail. Ang haba na ng pila, wala pang dumadaan na taxi. Naglakad pa kami hanggang Shang kasi I thought since puro rich naman pumupunta doon, malamang hindi na nila kailangan ng taxi. But no, there were other people in line and most of them mga teens probably headed to Megatent, too. Luckily, when we were supposed to walk going to Teleperformance (meron kasing taxi lane sa tapat nila e), merong dumaan na taxi na baba na yung pasahero, still in Shang area.

Super traffic left to right. Ang dami na naming napagkwentuhan ng friends ko. Work related, lovelife, and whatnot. Ang dapat na P60 or less fare expense, naging P100! Gusto ko na ngang maglakad na lang kahit from Tektite na lang kaso kawawa naman si manong driver na maiipit sa taxi, diba?

Pag dating namin sa gate mga 9pm na, may mga parang security personnel na sinasabing wala nang magaganap na pagpapa-light ng lanterns. Keriboom. Tumuloy pa rin kami and other people.

Nagsimula na kaming maghanap ng food. Narinig namin na walang kebab for the night so nalungkot din si J. He was at Banchetto-Forum the other midnight and meron daw kebab. Hindi lang siya kumain kasi gusto niya sabay kami kumain kasi matagal na kaming nagcra-crave.

We got lucky buying drinks! Pila na pala yung pinipilahan namin. But got unlucky for the next tent na pinuntahan namin. Nakuha na ang order namin pero nahuli pa kami sa queue. What? Hindi na rin ako nagpaka-BV. Baked Mac na deceiving! HAHA and rice sticks from the only (ata) korean food tent that night!

We were lucky to secure 3 chairs. Pinadala ko kay J at nakahanap kami ng table na half e walang gumagamit kasi walang chairs. Though gilid siya ng trash bags. ):

There were hundreds of people who were disappointed. They weren’t not able to read the update Banchetto posted in their Facebook fanpage. They didn’t have an idea that the activity was cancelled.

If only Banchetto has anticipated the safety while planning and if they had meeting with the barangay officials and building owners before announcing the event, there wouldn’t be an activity.

Sayang naman kasi yung hassle na dinanas nila sa traffic at pagdadala ng dslr at pag pila ng magandang damit diba? Haha! Pero seriously, there were claims na galing pa sila sa nearby provinces para sa event na yon. Almost everyone who wanted to witness the activity saved the date. Sabi kasi nung nag jibber jabber sa microphone kahapon, natutuwa siya kasi nakikita na raw niya yung Emerald that night. So I assumed na kapag wala silang announced big time activity, hindi maraming tao unlike sa Emerald before. Marami nga naman talagang tao kagabi.

Sana hindi na lang din sila nagpa-park sa loob at ginamit na lang nila yon for the food tents. Ewan ko ba kung bakit trip na trip nila yung ganoong siksikan. Hindi naman same sa ibang food night market ha?

Some people chose to bitchfit and some chose to enjoy the night! I can’t blame them especially those who were deeply hurt and  disappointed, I would had chosen to bitchfit, too but 11-11-11 is such a beautiful day! I didn’t need to wish at all because I can make anything possible when I want to! I didn’t need to wish because praying is easier than wishing and hoping.

Max’s Pig Out Promo Part II

It's Back! Max's Restaurant Chicken-All-You-Can

So my pig out friends and I went to eat again. Last year, I had 4 quarter pieces! For this year, I had 5. Which is equal to 1 1/4 chicken! Totally worth the P199 plus P28 upgrade for bottomless drink!

We stayed at Max’s TriNoma for more than 3 hours. It’s because we haven’t seen each other for a long while and we really had to make kwento and chikka! Max’s people weren’t happy though. So we just gave them a love letter via feedback form! (:

Sorry for the gross picture! Haha! It simply shows that we really had fun and our tummies were satisfied! Thank God I am still alive.. until now!

I do

It is such a good day. Everything’s in good vibes except for the pain because of adjusted braces. I’m not sure if that’s the right term but that’s long cut for I visited my dentist today.

We had a long examination in Parasitology today and I passed! Not to brag (because I couldn’t brag with 20 mistakes haha) but I just reviewed this morning. Means, cramming works well for me! Seriously. Now, parasites are totally strangers to me! What is Ascaris Lumbricoides, because that’s the only term I remembered! I should be knowing them again for finals though.

Our Microbiology laboratory professor was in the clinic. She just asked us to bring home our petri dishes and observe. Say what, we didn’t smear but molds and little worms showed up! It wasn’t surprising though. What’s hard to do now is the observation report. Hmm.

So since she wasn’t attending our class, my friends and I decided to watch I do. Yes, that movie starred by Enchong Dee and Erich Gonzales. Boy, you have to watch it. It’s a combination of comedy and drama which didn’t make it corny. If I am to rate it well, it’s 8 out of 10. I was expecting of more comedy and sweet scenes (like those in Katorse) but there was none. The story’s transition was so fast but you are sure to relate.

I still like it since I’m Enchong’s fan, remember? My most biased review. HAHAHA! Gay or not, I’m still a fan so don’t ever comment with,“He’s gay”. I’m just saying. *I got the photo poster from here (Pinoyhalo).

So what do you think about love? Does it come by fate or by own choice?

Must be worth it

Basing from my last update, we’re half through first semester. We’ve successfully hosted a mini seminar. There were major adjustments done ’cause our event date was moved and moved back to the original date. Our plans were devastated but at least we were able to finish it with few flaws only (ehem, wireless microphone).

And look at that, it was dated 12th of August but the day was Monday. I forgot to edit it. It should be Thursday. FAIL, I know. Good thing there were only two people who noticed that. Our professor liked the tarp and the program invitation which I made! Of course, I wasn’t properly credited but I was overwhelmed. (:

I also wore high heels which got attention. It got my attention, too. I spotted it at SM dept. store on sale. It was P1199 (or something like) before and I got it for only P399! I had to buy it.

The next day after the seminar, I met with my high school friends for our friend’s despedida. We stayed at Sofitel for a night. Too bad I had an exam the next day so I had to stay up reviewing while listening to them talking, laughing and playing. Our photos from the pool are too embarrassing to post. HAHA

The despedida didn’t end there. We still saw each other this week’s Wednesday and ate at our favorite place when were still in high school. I definitely missed! We also went to our friend’s pad to eat ice cream and talk more.

And lastly, yesterday, we  met again. We just had pizza and went to Storyland to enjoy two rides! We went to her place again to talk more more more. I wish I could stop the time so I could have spent more time with her. She’s leaving on monday for Canada. ); The idea hasn’t sunk into me yet and I don’t like to think about not seeing her for a long long time.


This was taken by a lady who works at YC, thanks for offering a hand miss!

Oh well, doesn’t look like I’m busy for school. It’s just that I can always find time for my friends. They are so awesome that I can’t miss to see them. <3

Max’s Pig Out Promo

It all started last month. I was going to wait for my networking guests, Tin was going to wait for her friends and Aubrey had to deliver something to her tita. We went to SM Centerpoint just to kill time. Instead of window shopping, we decided to eat but hadn’t thought where exactly. We checked out Max’s and knew that they have the Chicken-all-you-can promo. It was tempting but it was only around 4:30pm. The promo starts at 6pm. So we just ate Star Pops (Pizza Hut).

But we didn’t forget about the promo. We were supposed to eat last week but class was canceled the day we scheduled. K, but yesterday!!! We were going to watch this cheap view of  I Love You Phillip Morris but the next screening was super late so we just decided to eat again and Max’s won our heart. HAHA!

That was my first served quarter. I think I had 4. So that’s one whole chicken. :| I got my last chicken ’cause I thought of our cats so I just ate few of the meat and done. And yeah, I ‘take out’ the bones. Our cats were happy happy cats same as my tummy. Ha, we were there for 2 and a half hours with a lot of talking not just eating hahaha.

Anyway it isn’t advisable to eat a lot so you’ll get what you will pay for. I was like drunk after eating or cholesterol thing starting to act up? I feel so heavy today. Haha. (: By the way, we almost emptied the ordinary size Jufran ketchup. Gahd. I was that pig last night! ):
