One Crazy Night

Last Saturday night, we're feeling weird and crazy. Maybe it was our frustration to go swimming at the Edsa Shangri-la hotel (Or maybe something else). My bestfriend's mom forgot to give us the vouchers so we could avail of the "free swim" at the hotel. Although we have the membership card, they can't let us in. F*ckin shit! We were so excited and ready to swim!

We can't let that ruin our night. So we've got to do something! The funny thing was... we have turned that night into one of the craziest nights we had in a loooong time.

Before we learned that the membership card we had with us won't let us in for a swim at the Shang (unless we're checked-in, of course), we had dinner at Cyma. I was inspired by Anton for taking pictures of every food he eats. I did my own pics too so I could remember how yummy the food looked and so I could remember what it tastes like.


Chicken Kebabs


Greek Osso bucco (with pasta)

The food were sooo good as they look good in the photos.
Note: These were taken before we went crazy and go bugging everyone.
Also, I just wanna post some pictures and I'm not reviewing their food whatsoever! =)

Details? Alright! So after being rejected by the Shang, our mission is to find a hotel that would let us use their swimming pool and would only charge us a relatively small amount. But since it was already late (around 9 p.m.), they are already closed. Our frustration increases double by the minute!

Now, our new target is the SPA! Ooohh, yes! The spa! Since we realized that we are not going to swim that night, then we better get body scrubs and massages! So we inquired (take note: we only INQUIRED!) at so many spas that I never realized Ortigas has so many of. We took pictures of almost every spa we went in to. As if the spas in Ortigas weren't enough, we went to QC (Timog-Tomas Morato Area) to look for spas. Still, we can't find the right spa. Either the services are too pricey or the spa is closing in about 30 mins or there are too many clients or the ambiance wasn't so good for our taste. At about 11:30p.m., we got so tired of walking around and taking pictures of everything we see. The last spa stop was near UCC Cafe so we just went in there without thinking of what we are going to do next.

When we were seated at the cafe, we just realized how crazy we are, taking pictures, that the person-in-charge would tell us to stop and we would be making crazy excuses like, "Oh, this is the best restroom we've seen that's why we're taking pictures of it." And then the weird look on their faces. Priceless! Hahaha!

We looked at the pictures and saw how funny they are. So we just laughed the whole night that my stomach hurt so bad. I was also happy to drink one of the best drinks I've ever tasted, Yin yan cha (Coffee milk tea). At first I thought it was a weird combination but when I got to taste it, it's the best!

Conclusion: The night... was bittersweet. For some reasons, we were both feeling sad and low. And we ended cheering each other up. I guess, that's what best friends are for.

Hahaha!
