From Elvie's to La Greta's!

Tope, moi, Rie and Chris

As always, when The ManneQueens gather, it is sure that the night will be filled with laughter! And that's like, ALCOHOL not included! LOL

Last night was truly a blast for us ManneQueens.  Although some rain checked on us.  Still we managed to keep the "lite"/mini reunion as fun and comedic as it should be. LOL

First stop: @ Elvie's BBQ.

selection of Chicken,
hotdogs and seafoods

I can't say no to a good BBQ.  (I had a lite dinner before I went to Elvie's. LOL) Every BBQ resto always brings a different style to the table.  They always have their own blend of BBQ marinade and sauce.  And Elvie's has it's own unique, yummy and superb style.  We had chicken bbq and grilled tuna belly.  The last time I ate there was last 2010 of November when again, the Queens gathered up.  I just love love the BBQ sauce.  No wonder it's always a hit to all people living in the area.

Second stop: Casa dela Greta.

When we ran out RH Bills @ Elvie's, it's time to move on. LOL  We bought beers (1L x 4 bottles) then we headed to Chris' house.  It was during this time we had the most laugh.  I think it's because of it I got a little tipsy.  LOL  I also spent the rest of the morning in Chris's room.  Not the usual thing I do coz' I'm not so used sleeping over at other people's house/bed. (But I love bed hopping! LOL) 

This morning, Tita Thelma (Chris' mom) prepared us a sumptuous brekky.  Love it! I think that got me a little okay after being wasted hours before.  (I popped 1 tab of pain reliever I found in the dinning table. LOL)  But I think the latter helped more. LOL  

Thank you Tita Thelms and Chris for the warmth accomodation and to Rie for the BBqs and RH Bills. LOL

La Greta a.k.a. Chris/Toping turning of the lights.

Paparazzi mode. La Greta in deep sleep. If only I was not too drunk to record the sound of his snor! LOL

P.S. 

Tonight we're watching "Forever And A Day!"

So excited to see Sam Milby and Kc Concepcion.  Read good reviews.  Total tear jerker it mention in one of the articles I've scanned.  We'll see about that.

Till then.

(pardon the poor quality photos, I just used my Iphone in taking 'em. Carrying DSLR camera is just exhausting. LOL)

How Can I Start Dieting?

My best buddies (Yen and Mark) are treating me to a free tour to Boracay this August.  We vowed that in order for us to have fun, we need to lose weight.  A lot (READ: HALF OUR ACTUAL SIZE ATM! LOL) of it! Hahaha

But how can I start dieting?  If you're home-based (no actual work atm, blogging & not even paid too!LOL) and your Mom cooks all the sumptuous meals.  How can a person who tries-to-cut-off-his-intake refuse?  There is no way I think! 

Chicken BBQ w/ side dish of caramelize onion.

These are the stuff we had for lunch. Grrrr! But seriously, I can't complain. I love love love to eat! LOL

Chicken BBQ w/ Caramelize Onion for side dish.  Now tell me, who can refuse that?  I am a sucker for chicken.  I love chicken and I'm a chicken freak at that! LOL

Chicken Curry!

And then there's Chicken Curry.  Need I say more? LOL Not only a personal favourite among other recipes of my Mom, it is also my 3 year old niece's favourite.   (She request this all the time)  Even if it's hot.  She can tolerate eating it so long there's a glass of water in hand.  We both love this dish.   

Chicken Tinola

Lastly, we had Chicken Tinola. The reason Mom made tinola for lunch is because of the gloomy weather. LOL  We just love soup whenever it's a little rainy.  At times she'll cook Champorado w/ dried fish (bulad!) when it's raining.

So you now get an idea why I can't start on my diet.  LOL  And take note, all these dishes must be paired with lots of steamed rice. LOL There goes my hook up in Boracay!

And oh, lastnight we had a boodle fight.

P.S.

My good friend Joy is inviting me later to eat in a new Italian resto (Michaelangelo) and then have another round of Sariwang Lumpia in Cafe Laguna. Grrrr! Lots of temptations. LOL

Cafe Laguna's Lumpiang Sariwa! A must try! And it's cheap!
