*: Long weekend.

Yeah I had a long weekend lolz.

Friday, got a few shirts from Team Manila's Warehouse sale. As I type this, I wonder where I put my Ninoy pins. Grabbed lunch at Teriyaki Boy and tried out their Yogato. I shall make a post comparing all FroYos I consumed.

Teriyaki Boy's Yogato: FroYo with Apollos, Mangoes and Coffee Jelly

Last Saturday, we watched Harry Potter 7 with Ehboi (he got 2 tickets, winning from their costume party) and saw friends inside the Greenbelt cinema.

The movie was spectacular. IMHO, its the best HP movie i've seen. It kept loyal to the book but it wasn't as glued to it like HP1. Some scenes were different but the choice of cinematic drama is favorable (like Hedwig tried fighting back, protecting Harry *sniff*). CGI was astounding, like you can imagine how Dobby's skin feels like. I, for one, loved how Umbridge's Patronus looked like, not to mention the silver doe. The emotions as you read the chapters were there. Cinematography-wise it looked like an ordinary British film, which felt great actually, like it's almost less magical but it'll still get to keep you on the edge of your seat, as frustrated, sad, clueless as the characters. That even if you've read the book, you'll still feel like you're knowing the story for the first time. The moviehouse was so quiet, eagerly waiting for the next thing to happen.

We actually talked about the posters that almost looked like Twilight. Ivan and I agreed that one fanmade poster was apt for the first part of HP7.

After the movie, we were supposed to grab dinner at Pepper Lunch but the aircondition broke down. So we went to Ayala Triangle instead...

...to check out the new restaurants and we've discovered one gem in the middle of Makati. Chef Laudico's BFast.

I seriously forgot to take pictures of what we ordered because the food was so enticing, we cant wait to jump on it. First, you have to choose between Silogs (Fried Rice, Eggs, with Atchara and Tomato slices plus the Topping or the Filling of your choice), Kalogs (Sweet potato and Eggs plus Topping/Filling), Torta (Topping/Filling with scrambled eggs and grated quezo de bola on top) and Pandenini (Pandesal with the Filling of your choice.) Toppings/Filling were Tapa, Chicken or Pork Tocino, Christmas Ham, Bacon, Pinoy-style corned beef, Sisig and many more.

We ordered a not-so-ordinary Tapsilog, because the tapa is made of Angus beef. Christmas Ham Torta, is made of scrambled eggs with green bell pepper and slices of Christmas Ham. Chicken Adobo Pandenini, is made of Pandesal with fried chicken adobo, sandwiched with cheese smothering, Spaghetti with Egg, Bacon and melted Quezo de Bola. Those are great but their Champorado, made with Belgian Chocolate and Rice Krispies, took the cake. Plus, this:

Mango Pavlova. Sweet riped mangoes on top of soft and crusty merengue.

I ate two. :s

Then we went to Malate, grabbed a bottle of Tequila and went home tipsy. Not drunk. I just had 4 shots and three glasses of Zombie.

Sunday was laundry day, Monday rain was too hard, so we just had Pizza delivered (the usual thin-crusted Angus Steakhouse and a thin-crusted Pepperoni) while watching The Walking Dead episode 4. Then tonight was KFC Double Down night. Randomly, Jeff, Ryan, Rae, Dian, Chie, Ehboi and I chatted using FB's group chat and decided to go to a secluded KFC branch since weve all heard that the Double Down was a box-office hit.
