Cibo and Breton

I thought I was the first to arrive at CIBO (near ABS-CBN), but as it turned out Aileen was already having pasta inside. So I just waited outside the building listening to a Jasper Fforde audiobook and looking like an idiot while catching glimpses of Phomela Baranda doing showbiz news for TV Patrol. Lyndon and Aimee finally arrived and she was the one who told me Aileen was already in CIBO.

Anyhoo, we all had pasta, and my spaghetti bolognese was particulary salty. David couldn't make it for dinner, so we just waited for him to arrive after we finished ours.


Wish one of them drew a mouth on the lady...

"Tits" finally arrived, and we car-pooled to Cafe Breton, where I ordered a chocolate shake. After some more chit-chat (that's what tonight was about, anyway), it was time to hitch a ride home. Kids (and one adult) waiting outside were bugging us to buy their flowers. They're not as agressive as the Beijing's "rose girls," but still hard to ignore. I'm usually good at it, but this time I actually had to say No for them to get the message. Isn't it enough nowadays to pretend they're not there...?
