Posted on Tuesday, April 19, 2011 | 6 comments


The Script Concert was jam-packed... As seen on pictures... Wished that I was familiar with their other songs aside from Break Even...


Ivana and the crowd - overflowed with energy!!!!


Our surprise tickets.... =)

I was not prepared at all with my uber-printed and dalmation-inspired top....

I was about to end my Saturday after showing up at Niña's Big Tent Bazaar when I got a call from Ivana.

On the phone...
Ivana: Where are you?
VV: I'm here at the bazaar in QC. Why?
Ivana: Please come with me. I'll be watching The Script Concert at the Araneta Coliseum.
VV: Is that for free?
Ivana: Of course!
VV: OK Coming....
Ivana: Do you know the band?
VV: No... But I might have heard some of their songs.
Ivana: OK... See yah at 8:30pm. I'll meet you at the green gate.
VV: (call dropped... made beso to Niña and her sister... and left)

It was not so difficult to convince me.... 1? Its free... 2? The vocalist, Danny O'Donoghue, was too difficult to miss... =))


Nicolette's Birthday Bash at Berks Resto Grille

Posted on Sunday, April 17, 2011 | 2 comments

Nicolette, Tina, Vitori Vita, Trisha, Jerica, and Babes eating the night away...
Pigging out much!

Last Friday, we celebrated Nicolette's birthday at the newly opened Berks Resto Grille along Macapagal Avenue in Pasay City. I did not come prepared because all the while, I thought I was going to stay home and enjoy my new Blackberry. But then, peer pressure is so hard to resist. So I met up with my friends who were trying on some clothes in Zara at Glorietta 4. Looking at them, I knew my work uniform will standout in a sea of colorful clothing for the summer. Hence, I decided to do some shopping for myself.

The food at Berks Resto Grille was so amazing - crabs, tempura, fried chicken, etc. The servings were very generous that I had to do my "eat-pause-talk-eat technique" just so I'd be able to maximize the storage capacity of my tummy. For the food I'd give it 4 stars out of 5 because it tastes really really good.

Finding a decent comfort room on the Seaside Market at Macapagal Avenue is quite a challenge but at the Berks Resto Grille, I am able to live with it. All because I am a boy and I dont have to use the toilet seat. But a good toilet seat sanitizer like Holy Seat will be of great help if you may need to use the restroom.

The colorful walls of the place made it a bit funkier and youthful. The lively colors will perk that pent up energy for the whole week plus they have a live band with a female lead singer who was all over the place in a good way. But she was not able to keep up with the energy that I exposed as I sang Bad Romance and Time of My Life.

Without batting an eyelash, I obliged to perform at the stage which made everyone's night SUPER FUN!!!

The service was good including the understandable waiting time considering that they had to cook the food the moment you order on their menu. Which means that all the food served to the diners are fresh from the kitchen.

I wont be able to say something about the price because it was a free dinner courtesy of the cousin of the owner of the place who happened to be our friend. But certainly, I know that the price is reasonable.
ViVi and Trisha belting our much loved "emotera" songs....

The best way to end the night was sing at Grenada KTV. I actually wanted Music Bank but I cant say it out to Pablo because he owns the place and he's going to take charge of everything anyway. Thou shalt not be CHOOSY! =)

Cant let the paparazzi go home without my photo...

Last night, my friends and I went to Republiq to unwind. After all, the week is over. And, as they say, work hard so can party harder.

My girls Karen and Gj showing off their long legs...

Alfred Gendrano, a former dorm mate dropped by to share some love...

My boys Jared, Yummy, and Brian came prepared with their collared shirts...

Our good friend Guji Lorenzana dint break my heart because his busy schedule dint stop him from joining us...

Since Nicole Andersson was not able to grace my birthday party at The Distillery, I obliged her to come last night....

So happy that our celebrity friends answered the call to unite as citizens of the Republiq!

It was time to go home after a very long day when I saw some of my friends ogling over a glossy magazine... Ayun na nga! Showbiz magazine ito... But I did not bother to look at it... Mas importante na maaga akong makauwi... Mas importante na maka-upo sa MRT... Ang hirap mag byahe pag rush hour! Ako na ang working class...

But I was bothered by the sight... They were so proud to show me pictures of Ai Ai De Las Alas so chummy with this Italian-Colombian guy... Ang hot lang ng guy... Syempre... May mga comments ang people from work....

These are the comments of my friends from work..

Mam V: Hay nako! 9 out 10 girls ang magsasabi na lolokohin lang sya ng lalakeng yan....

Sir D: Ayyyy... Wala naman ABS yung guy eh! (Si Sir D na ang may abs kasi gym sya ng gym...!!!)

And my take on the issue?

Vitori: Kung magpapaloko ako eh dun nalang din sa yummy... Kaya I think Ai-Ai made the right choice... (Supportive ko lang!)

Hmmmp.... It made me realize that the world is unfair... =) That's with a lot of bitterness and angst... Just kidding!

Victims of Illegal Recruitment

We were once victims of illegal recruitment... But these illegal recruiters allowed us to swim at their Ayala Alabang murky pool and they fed us... HAHAHA!!!

I was so surprised... I did not know we had these photos... And OH!!! I remember now... We took these for the bulletin board for Asian... HAPPY!

I miss Jam, Mary, Iva, and Pog... We looked like convicts here! HAHAHA! I'm sure mas maraming atraso si Pog... =)
