Almost Close To A Well-Planned Dinner

 

 

I wonder why Warren’s body is so lean although he’s surrounded with great cooks in his family. His birthday dinner treat was awesome!

 

I had to cancel some plans, Mike went to office early and Jeff even ate his packed dinner during miryenda time to give way to his birthday dinner – and was worth it. We just received the invites just after lunch. Jeff was generous enough to use his car on our way to Warren’s place. I had to text him because nobody among us knew the right directions, even the name of the street. Thanks to the power of mobile phones, we arrived at his home in no time, but had to pick him up along Vito Cruz Ext. The birthday boy waited us there wearing his most comfortable outfit: sando shirt and basketball shorts. As Dave said, “kita ko na! mukhang bugaw ang dating ah.”, while Zeny joked, “wag natin papasukin, mukhang pulubi”.

 

As we entered his house, Cutie, his little-overweight brown dog with eyes-like-begging-to-hug-him look, welcomed us with his tail waggling endlessly with his body. There his mother, wife and relatives busy preparing the table for us. Few more moments, we were all gathered around the table, very much ready to munch, and aside from our growling stomachs, lots of food in front of us shouting “eat us!”, we only have limited time because we just escaped from the office for an hour dinner break.

 

 

I felt I need to jog after that dinner, while Dave almost had a good night sleep on the sofa after a good meal. Hehehe. That two rounds of rice contributed a lot, I guess. Nothing beats Crispy Pata! Sigig, Tofu with broccoli, salad were also served. Of course, the best part was the kwentuhan over the ice-cold coke!

 

 

I wasn’t able to try the a-l-i-m-a-n-g-o, hipon, spaghetti, pansit and lumpiang shanghai because there were no more room inside my stomach. So Warren, if you could bring some more in the office, please do :D

 

 

Ron, Gems, Ariel, Pem you missed the fiesta!

 

 

I wonder how Zeny would share her birthday to us. Hmmmmm. :D
