The Little Things: Hooked and Paged

This is a really late post on a dinner out with a few of my friends in the city, but better late than never! I'm starting to get used to spending time in the North because a lot of my close friends are from that area and I'm there often now especially that I report to our restaurant in Ortigas.

The Menu

We had dinner at Shangrila Mall in this restaurant called "Fish and Co." which makes the best Fish and Chips I have ever tasted. We all haven't eaten there in awhile so our hungry stomachs led us there. The last time I had Fish and Chips was in England, it's supposedly a dish they're famous for but I've tasted it and sadly, I didn't find anything special about it! Anyway, feast your eyes on our dinner hihi.

Seafood Platter(Calamares, Sea Bass, Chips)

Lemons, they have to be included.I am obsessed with Lemons.

"Best Fish and Chips" (yes that's the actual name haha!)

Seafood Rice (tastes like Paella, yum!)

Tanya and Me, the "Ladies in Lace"(no, we didn't plan on it haha!)

We had so much fun talking and catching up on each others lives. I am in awe with how much our friendships grew since our trip to Spain and all over Europe just two summers ago. I barely knew them when we departed from home and now I can't imagine not having them in my life. Our lives have drastically changed since then. Some of us were going through turbulent times and some were in their moments of bliss and not everyone knew of those "baggages" we brought along during our trip until we bonded and unravelled each others lives in different countries we found ourselves in. Now we are simply there for each other, rain or shine whether it is back at home or lost somewhere in Europe.

I get to see my friends Tanya and Mich a lot more than our other girlfriends, Rachel and Tara. There are a whole lot of us, maybe about twenty more people including our professors.They all come from our rival school and I was the Europe obsessed girl who tried to find a way to travel to my dream destination. Their summer program accepted me and I was the only one who came from a different school. I didn't know ANYONE AT ALL when I entered that program, now that I think of it IS quite crazy hahaha! Everytime I tell that story, people's eyes will always bulge and say that I have a lot guts and yeah I guess I do have a lot of balls under this sweet facade of mine HAHA! but back then I didn't think of it as serial, all I wanted was a chance to set foot on European soil and to meet entirely new people to add to my circle of friends.I left on a plane bound for Europe barely knowing everyone. I came back home with a dozen bestfriends and a lot of beautiful memories and unforgettable experiences together. I never back out of opportunities to broaden my horizons. I always HUNT for such opportunities. Try it, you will never know that these new people you invite in your life might just be the ones who you can't live without.

Anyway, more on our night out! we went to this Deli called "Pages" as suggested by Tanya. We had such a hard time choosing our desserts because everything looked so good! Pages also had such a romantic and relaxed ambience. It's perfect for intimate conversations and the whole place were sprinkled by quotes from novels. We felt like were in Italy! we talked about so much things that night that I can't post here hahaha but all I can say is that whatever plagues we go through, we can always find a reason to laugh about it and give each other hope. Here are our pictures from "Pages"!
