This is what my dress looks like... I wore it to my friends S and A's wedding.. It was made by Tammy Tan . I got the idea for the design online - to be more specific - in the Neiman Marcus website. Tammy was the one who suggested the color. I think this dress will come out in the glossies in the coming months. Love you Tammy!! :) Thanks! :)

Yes, you read it right - my flight tomorrow to sunny Bangkok will be delayed for 2 hours!! A few minutes ago - I received a phone call from PAL. Apparently there has been an aircraft thingie - thus - our flight will be delayed for 2 hours! So instead of departing at 1030am - it will be 12:30pm! Half-day shopping - down already. Great. Now - that leaves us with less time to go around. Just great. Good thing I didn't push having to do all the city tours tomorrow afternoon! Sigh... PAL - Philippine Arlines = Plane Always Late.

Yes, I'm a sad puppy. This afternoon I received sad news. It's sad for me because I was expecting my best bud KI to join us in our Bangkok trip. Unfortunately, even if the odds were with us - she still decided not to come. I am very much disappointed - but what can I do right? *Sigh................ I was really looking forward to traveling with KI , actually with the whole gang. This was supposed to be our first out of the country trip since high school! Anyways, KI - we'll miss you!! Wish you can still change your mind and come with us!! Pwede pa naman - there's still the online booking facility in PAL's website! Go go go !! In a few days, I'll be off to Bangkok - I'm really excited!! :)

(L-R) MM, A, moi!, K what poses right?! This is us - the Beijing Chickens. Our friend MM will be heading to Shang-Hai next week for a 7 week training courtesy of Citibank. Since she'll be gone for a while - K decided to have a cookfest that originally tagged her and B - MM' s fiance (who is now taking cooking classes) to whip up some dishes for us! But as it turns out - K was the only one who did everything! We had this super delish garlic dip and a very yummy Cheesy Chicken Casserole!! (I even took home the left over sauce!! Haha..) After dinner - us girls went to the den to watch a little TV and did some catching up (even if we saw one another at Vic's wedding - the funniest wedding ever!! ) When our respective boys arrived - we then proceeded to play Taboo . I learned Taboo from KY - she brought this game along when we went to Bagiuo some 9 years ago (has it been that long?!?!?!) And ever since - I've been loving this game and also kicking some good ass win...

It has been months since we all sat down and had dinner . KY has been in Paris, finishing her Masters in Luxury Branding. While SE has been busy with work, KI has also been busy with baking and cooking school. So I took them to Cook Book Kitchen. They loved the food and the price too!! :) Another success!! Hahaha.. I've become quite a good customer to them actually, the head server had this knowing smile when she saw me. Hehehe... :) I haven't seen KY in 9 months - but man, did she look beautiful . Ang ganda ganda niya super !! No exaggeration. She did gain a little weight but she looked so blooming, happy and uber beautiful! I told her to maintain her weight because she looks sooooo nice. But she retorted that since she's the active-beach person that she needed to lose a little weight para naman hindi scandalous ang dating . KI still looked the same, we'd bump into one another at the Yoga studio once in a while - I just have to say this - her curls - ...

Here's a checklist for the trip: Accomodations - Our hotel/apartment has been booked already by my brother's friend M. We're staying at the Fraser Apartments in Luangsan. Click on the link and see how amazing it looks! I can't wait already (Super giddy with excitement!!!!) Tour - My friend W who's been based in Bangkok said that she'll do the booking for us - her apartment building's conceirge arranges the best tours ( daw ). We're taking the Ayuthaya Tour that is an hour bus ride up and on the way back to Bangkok - we'll be riding a ferry - I do hope it's an air-conditioned one!! Itinerary - well, this part is still - non existent. It got me thinking - the first time I went to Bangkok - all we did was shop, there were no tours at all. This time, I think I'd like to see some more sights. I mean - 3 whole days in Bangkok (2 airport days) - that's a LOT of time already, don't you think? I just hope that the weather is bearable....
