Red Table

What is the secret behind the red table? Why is it red not pink? Lol.

We gathered ourselves to SM Manila to spend our 2013 Christmas party with friends. It was plain and simple nothing much special because we used to see each one everyday. Haha!

The evidence!

This post contains more cholesterol and excessive intake is dangerous.

As usual after office we go to have our dinner here, I mean Christmas dinner while exchanging gifts.

Super pose!

Blogging will be incomplete without random photos eh? But this time it's photo less. ;)

I like to take some photo of someone taking pictures too. Cute!

Christmas everywhere!

How we all wish Christmas will be everyday! The chill is in the air, the exchange gifts, and the food flood. Most of all, the spirit of Christmas is very warm and kind.

And yes, the decoration was so nice!

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock...

The counter was cool and cozy to your eyes.

Cam-whoring while waiting.

Selfie + Look Up!!

The innocent face selfie.

Our topic post for today:
Selfie and Look-up photos.

A selfie is a type of self-portrait photograph, typically taken with a hand-held digital camera or camera phone, and is usually taken in a slightly tilted manner.

While look-up means to turn one's glance or gaze (v.)

It's selfie-look-up moment.Enjoy!

The I-don't-care-murmuring selfie.

The cutie-snob selfie.

The word selfie became fast and famous in the social media. We don't need someone to take a photo on us. Ourselves can enjoy the selfie ALONE! Obviously, that is why it is SELFie lol. But Filipinos made selfie more creative and funny. It's LOOK-UP photo moment!

I am talking like this.

The sweet-mouth-look-up moment.

But the winner is janjanjan...

Cafe Havana Party

December 11, 2013

It was a surprised invitation from the first lady of Unitop Int'l Group, of course our dear and very missed Madam Mimi. It was for only the selected friends and I was like, "Really, am I invited too?".

It was Ms Emma our legal officer who invited me to be part of this unforgettable moment. Well, as usual from the hard office day, we went straight to Greenbelt, Makati where Madam Mimi will come to meet us.

Here we go. Excitedness overwhelmed me. Wohoohoo!

The highlighted photo!

Of course, with Ms Emma.

Waiting for Madam Mimi.

It's a warm and cozy place.

The waiting moment. We're all excited in fact!

Yeah go attack nooowwww! Lol.

Oh, heavens grace please give us food tonight.

It is written on our face - hungriness is next to shyness.

Oh here we go, at least I could drink some ... an empty glass with a lemon and full of iodized salt...???

Wow! At last I could drink now! Super thirst-inviting eh?

It's really a nice dinner. Stomach out! ;)

And we are all drunken one by one.

If you needed someone so trustful and very nice to be a friend for, I recommend her -- Sally!

And the party begins!

When the cafe band beat the drums people get so loud!

Then a group of girls go center stage and dance with the salsa.

And everyone got carried over with the live dancers, live band, live audiences and strong music.

And we all enjoyed this night party.

Cheers!

Happiness marked on our faces.

I love you, Madam Mimi! Muah!

Thank you, cafe Havana for this wonderful food trip experience!

G/F Greenbelt 3, Ayala Center, Makati City

Phone: 757-4370 or 757-4371

Some trivia: Café Havana is the hands-down choice of bar enthusiasts. This famous bar is a happening place that transformed the Remedios Circle from a genteel promenade into a throbbing section of charming Malate. Café Havana is Latino-Cubano, and it lives the spirit of the islands from its décor to its food and music. Since it’s opening in Greenbelt 3, Café Havana has quickly become the hottest bar in Makati.

And we all ended to Starbucks to sipped some coffee and be back to our senses.
