I had a pretty amazing 28 hours. I can’t even begin to explain how happy I am right now, so I decided to collate some random photos just to share it with you guys. :)
It was by far one of our best days. :)

Just stuff I want for my birthday. Which is today. So because I really want it, I’m going to make it happen. Because I own 2012. Yes. I just said that.
For a girl who has tons of shoes, I shamefully admit I do not have this fashion staple. So I must therefore get myself a pair.
I’m still having a hard time looking for this book. Please show yourself to me?
A floppy hat to prepare for the summer.
Comfy cardigan and soft fluffy big scarf that can permanently reside in my office so I can easily curl up whenever I want to (or rather whenever I am tired).
Red wine. I can never have enough of red wine. If you have bottles waiting to be opened at home, I will happily adopt them.
Dinner with my family and Dylan. We only get to have dinner (just us) when there’s an event. I know we should be making it more a daily habit, especially now that I am about to look for a place on my own. Maybe when I’m moved out, we’ll have this more often.
I am yet to get my dose of Dylan — we haven’t really spent much time together since the year started. But I did have a good dose of Chuchi. :)
She gets goo goo gaga over bread. :)
Like I ranted in my previous post, I’ve been overstaying in the office for quite some time. I honestly don’t like it, but because it was getting things done, I’m okay to do it. But as things get done, things pile on again. UGH. It’s a never ending process.
So I called Adah and told her to drink with me. I believe we both deserved it. I missed my oldest friend. And by oldest, I mean she’s been my friend the longest. Just so we’re clear. Hahahaha.
So yeah. Hahaha. I made her happy. She deserves it. <3
In the middle of it all, I decided to bury the hatchet and just call Mike. He came almost immediately.
It’s been a while since I last saw the guy, and he packed on a lot of weight. But it’s all good weight. He has a fight coming up on the 27th. I wonder if I’ll be able to go.
Top Grill in Jupiter Street might not be the most ideal place to hangout on a Friday night, given its conditions and reviews that service can be crappy, but I soooo love the Beckys there! Absolutely adore. :) I think they know me well now, so the ice bucket is always filled and the drinks just keep coming.
I think we had about three buckets of beer, two servings of pulutan and two rice meals for my two friends. Hahahaha.
All in all, it was a good good good night. It deserves a repeat.
I have been trying to live a healthier lifestyle, and although it has been to no avail (as of tonight, at least), I managed to trim down all the excesses that I used to indulge every so often. I don’t remember the last time I ate at Mister Kabab, or the last time I had crispy liempo at Kanin Club, or the last time I had an entire cheesecake. Yes I can finish an entire cheesecake. Do not pretend you can’t. I know you. There’s no use hiding.
So when Adah and I realized that it has been too long since we last saw each other, we decided to meet up at a favorite spot: Flaming Wings.
The last time I was here, their menu was a bit um… traditional (read: printed and laminated). Now, it’s quite revamped. They even managed to put a trademark on their dessert, Wicked Oreos. They increased their prices but nothing more than P5.


I don’t know why we even needed the menu. We knew then what we were having. And it’s no surprise.
I had my usual Tenders meal with smokey barbecue sauce and ranch dip. The good thing about this meal is they finally included bottled water as one of the drink selections (among red iced tea, pink lemonade and mango juice). We decided water was the only thing healthy we’ll have.

Adah had her Wing meal 2 wings in original sauce with bleu cheese dip.

I can’t quite recall if we ever talked at all. I do recall having a moment of silence after taking the first bite. It has been a good five months since we last had this, if not more! It was heavenly. It tasted exactly the same way when we last had it.
Of course, we cannot do a Flaming Wings run without having their signature dessert. Usually, we don’t have to worry about the Wicked Oreos since Euske was there to finish the third piece the last time. I love this dessert; it’s just pure indulgence!
That’s Oreos wrapped in batter and deep fried to perfection, matched with vanilla ice cream with sprinkles, finished with confectioner’s sugar and cocoa powder dust.
Yes. It’s so good.

I need not say how our plates looked like a good 30 minutes after. :)
I wish I can say that I’ll be back for more, but after the fitness evaluation in the gym, I know I have to embark on a far healthier lifestyle. I am only in my early years, and already I have to worry about a rapidly expanding hipline. I wouldn’t really be surprised if people would think I gave birth to Chuchi! Marga is almost back to her original weight!
So yeah. It was good. It was sooooo goood. It pains to say that I won’t be back soon, but I definitely will be. Maybe after five months again.
Flaming Wings can be found in front of De La Salle University Taft, Aguirre St. in BF Paranaque and along Katipunan, QC.
I credit my recent weight loss initially to Plana Forma. To be honest, I want to go back to doing that, but their studio is way too inaccessible for me. I’m hoping that they set up a Makati studio soon. Anywhere in Makati is accessible for me.
So when I stopped Plana Forma (I did about 10 or 12 sessions? It’s sooooo good.), I resorted to the company gym. Mondays and Tuesdays, I run. I usually just run too on Wednesdays, but when I discovered Taebo at the Penthouse and how it gallantly kicks my ass, that has officially settled in as my Wednesday routine. First week on this schedule, I lost three pounds. I better keep it up.
I started looking for food that will easily be a healthy fix. If there’s something I need to cure, it’s my spontaneous eating habits. Then I saw this:
I want to know where I can find blueberry cream cheese. I just had second breakfast, and now, I want to eat again!
This is sooo not helping my diet.
