Party Night and Day

Last night I met up with Charmaine, DJ and Vince at Glorietta 4 for a little birthday dinner for 'Dee and Vince (her birthday was on the 27th, Vince's tomorrow). Pazzo pasta restaurant was our first choice but we finally decided on Soul Food at Greenbelt 3. The walk across to Gr3 was amusing in itself because Dee volunteered to drive us there (she hates walking). We already ordered when Becca and Victor finally showed up (nanny came through at the last minute). Food wasn't great, but it hardly mattered for me 'coz the company the the jokes and conversations more that made up for it. A minor lack of transportation emergency was averted when Vince offered to drive me home. After a few pictures were taken we parted ways, save for me and 2 birthday celebrants as we had a nightcap at Starbucks.

This morning I called up Joy for help in choosing a Broadway CD on Ebay for her gift. (Her birthday's on the 27th, too). Somehow the conversation turned to me meeting her (and her old college friend Nicole Cue) for lunch at Gr3. Problem was I already packed (and ate) lunch, so I just watched both of them have pasta and oysters (I had 1 of the latter). I think the plan was that I treat her to lunch, but Joy said since I didn't order anything she'd pay and I get her a CD at MusicOne. Got her the Sunset Blvd. 2-CD set. Though I had to rush back to the office (I asked Rachelle and Vince to come in for a few voice icon recordings) the traffic forced me to walk back (a first for me). Once again I took advantage of Vince's generosity (and access to a car) as he offered to drive me to the MRT station after work.
