Quick Chicky Date

It's very Sunny to see my good, old-Jurassic friends earlier this evening even just for a quick dinner together. They really are my sisters from another mothah. Sobrang I feel blessed that they are my friends because not everyone have managed to keep their friendship with their  friends intact through elementary-highschool-college-employment. And I'm just glad we are one of those blessed ones whose friendship have been tried and tested as in literal na kahit may tampuhan, one call lang of a friend who's in need, we'll go to the rescue in a jiffy. Or even with the shallowest problem, like during the time when I still do not know how to open a gas tank, my dear friend Cha came to the rescue on her bike just to help me open it. Or when I cannot bury myself my pet dog who died, Galvs my dear guy friend with his girlfriend came to the rescue to dig a hole and bury my dog. And during my down moments when someone I knew before, have recently attacked me with accusations on Fb (of all the venues), all it took was one text message and Em, Joy, Tina, Galvs, Mau, and Teng came to the rescue to comfort and entertain me. We love and care for each other with every bit of sincerity and authenticity. See why I love my troupe?  I literally got carried away on that one. <3 :'>

So anyway, back to our regular program--our dinner was one helluva heavy one. We ate at Chicboy. We chose the place 'cause they say their food is good and Joy was craving for it for like 2 weeks already. And I'm the only person in our group who haven't tried their chicken yet. Loser, I know. 

Our group likes to budget--A LOT. We like getting our money's worth. Some may see us as shopping addicts especially Tina and I, but what they do not know is our practical side, which enables us to have some extra dime to buy some extra goodies ;) Even during our out of town trips or house parties, there would always be an extra fund left that could still be spent for something else. So as we were looking at the menu, we compared prices of each meal vs. to the price of the group meal. Finally the tribe has spoken and we all agreed to buy 1 whole chicken, one side order of grilled eggplant w/ bagoong and a plate of steamed kang-kong with garlic bits...oooh, yummm... but for the benefit of our dear meat-lover friend Tina who doesn't really have a good relationship with gulay, Joy and I ordered a stick of pork bbq for her. Sweet, I know. :P For the drinks, Em and Joy opted for bottomless iced tea, while Tina and I just had water 'cause Tina is under water therapy while I'm just a plain advocate of water. I don't like sodas and I rarely drink juice. Water simply makes my body happy (aside from coffee of course). So anyway, that was all of our orders. We were 4 ladies who ordered a meal good for 5-6 people. Our budget was 400 and we still got a change that we bought for our dessert. And believe it or not, we still had some extra penny to buy some goodies just to spend all of what was left of our change. Joy bought a hair clip, Em got herself an ear-cleaner, I forgot what Tina bought, and I brought home a pair of gloves to be used on our mt.Pulag climb this Friday. Geez, I really like how we budget!:)

AND OH! Happy and have a safe trip to Hong Kong tomorrow Em! I'm sure you'll gunna love the place as much as I did. Given the chance, I'd always be willing to go back there. It was love at first sight. :)
