Going back to Conti's.

Conti's has become one of my favorites because of Mango Brava.  Once in a while, we go back there to have dinner.

We did two Fridays ago.  This time sans my favorite dessert.


I had the Grilled Porkchops served with saffron mushroom risotto.  I found it yummy!  Costs Php215.



Hubby had the Crispy Chicken which costs Php195.  It was a little bit in the salty side, according to him.  He raved about the macaroni salad though.



It was a good dinner and we enjoyed the company of the gay groups at the left and right side of our table.  Richard Poon came to eat... and this was a delight not only to me but to the gay folks on our right side.  They were all ready with their mobile phone cameras.  I hope they were able to snap one picture.


The ambiance is still okay.  I just need to comment on the presentation of the dining tables.  No salt and pepper, no decorations.  It was so plain, seems to me we were eating at a fast food chain.


I would definitely go back for the food.  And next time, instead of the so-so Blueberry Cheesecake that we had, I will stick with the Mango Brava.

Everything Christmas.

It's all systems go for Christmas here in the Philippines.

The decors are all up and all kinds of sales are everywhere.

SM Makati has booths filled with locally-made decors.

Makati is as beautiful as ever with the Christmas street decors. Here is my so amateurish shot using the iPhone camera.

Trinoma is on an all-out Christmas sale this weekend.


Wow.




My most favorite holiday is just around the corner and I am so excited.

Day with the girls.

Two Saturdays ago, I was able to spend practically the whole day with my girlfriends -- does not happen that much nowadays.

We were complete and celebrated the upcoming wedding of Len.

Faye and I were lucky that the venue was High Street. It was always Trinoma and holding another gathering there is getting too old already.

Had lunch -- super late -- at Kirin. Sorry, no pics... I was extremely hungry.

While waiting for the highlight of the day, we spent the afternoon at Starbucks in Fully Booked. I was 'it'. Here was the damage.

2 Java Chip, 2 Green Tea Frappe, One caramel macchiato, Almond Roca Cheesecake (luvs), and another cake.

This time with Che.


The highlight of the day was our Spa treatment. It's Faye's turn to be it this time. We had one of the villas for ourselves. We all had foot massage + head and shoulder massage.

All done!


PS. Sorry for the covered me... I would like to stay anonymous.

PSS. I am, by the way, nursing a week old stiff neck because of the massage. Lesson learned -- sound off asap to the massage lady if pressure is great.
