Club Manila East!

At long last! The planned Club Manila East gimmik pushed through! Everything went perfectly! Halos complete yung buong barkada, except for Pay who had to work (on Saturdays!?). It started a week ago when Dom planned out the gimmik. Let me recount on what happened that day.

The ride on the way to CLUB MANILA EAST
The plan was to bring two cars: mine and Jeff. We split the passengers so everybody can fit in. My plan was to have all the couples (Mark-Mado and Pilep-Che) ride in Jeff's car, while the boys ride in mine. Wala kasing radio at mahina yung aircon ng car ko so I thought that the girls will be more comfortable riding with Jeff.

So yun, we all met up in McDonald's Philcoa. Jeff went there and led us to Dom's house in Katipunan to pick her up, along with his kid brother Joel. So the car arrangement was, in my car: Me, Dale, Joel, Ed, and Oninz. On Jeff's: Jeff, Dom, Mark, Mado, Che, and Pilep. I don't know how to get to CME (Club Manila East) so we had to convoy with Jeff leading the way.

Along the way, we had trouble keeping up with Jeff. There was this one time when we 'slightly' lost him, we followed the wrong car! Haha! I said: "Dale, sina Jeff ba yung lumiko?!". Si Dale naman: "Oo, sila yun!". Shit, ibang car pala yun na pumasok sa isang subdivision! Hahaha! Walang kwentang 'co-pilot' si Dale! Hehe! ;p Nagulat din ako na nag-suka si Oninz. Uminom pa kasi yun the night before! Buti may plastic bag kami sa loob ng car! ;p

When we finally got there, andun na sina Drey and Jeimie! Jem's parents are celebrating their wedding anniversary that day and she suggested that they do it in CME para magkitakita! Hehe! So we all had a blast! Swimming all day and getting a tan! The only drawback was that we were not able to try the Kayak since Sykes Asia reserved it for their team building. Anyways, one of the highlight is the slide. They all had trouble sliding fast! Well, not me! Haha! The technique was to lie down while sliding! If you try to sit, you'll slide down with the speed of molasses! ;p

Another highlight was the pool basketball game. The 'Old guys vs. Young guys' as they say! Haha! Nagkataon kasi na the team breakdown was: 'Old guys' were Me, Mark, Drey, and Pilep (all aged 22 years and above! Haha!) while the 'Young guys' were Dale, Jeff, Ed, and Oninz (22 years and below! Haha!). Ang saya!

After that, we tried the Wave pool, reminiscent of the 9 Waves pool. It was great! We had a blast catching the large waves! Parang beach na yung dating! Haha! There was also a taping for a TV series... we saw Anne Curtis and Oyo Sotto. Napatingin nga si Anne Curtis sa akin eh! (I wish! Hahaha!)

During the later noon, Jem's parents had to go. Jem and Drey decided na magpaiwan para makasama pa kami ng mas matagal. We hangout by a pool with a nice shade where we decided to play "Mataya-taya"! Haha! We had a blast running under water! ;p

We then decided to call it quits and talk about where we'll all have dinner. We decided to go to Mister Kebab's in East Ave. So hurry we went. Me and the boys decided to take a shower outside! Hahaha! Para kaming probinsyano kasi we're using soap and shampoos while taking a shower in one of those showers in the pool side. Alam ko kasi, bawal mag shower dun with soaps. Para lang sa pag banlaw yun before you step inside the pool! Haha! ;p

After clearing our bill, we then left. Since Jem and Drey are with us, bagong arrangement na naman sa car pool. In my car: Me, Drey, Jem, Oninz, Ed, and Dale. In Jeff's car: Jeff, Dom (with Joel on her lap), Mark, Mado, Che, and Pilep.

On the way to Dinner!
The plan was to meet up in East Ave. for Mister Kebab's. Along the way, grabe yung mga walang hiyang jeepney na cut ng cut... tapos bigla nalang titigil! Ang sarap banggain! Hehe! Isa pa eh yung mga loko lokong mga naka-scooter! Biglang sumusulpot nalang sa harap! Kung may topak lang ako, ang sarap gitgitin yun eh! Tignan natin kung sumakay pa ng scooter yun! Haha! ;p

When we got to Mister Kebab's, there was so many people. Saturday night kasi eh. So we decided to change venue. We decided to eat in Aveneto's Pizzeria in Visaya's ave. On the way there, I was worried about the parking. Alam ko kasi konti lang yung parking dun. When we got there, much to my relief, we had a parking! And guess what! Sa may Metrobank kami nag-park, which was beside the restaurant! Haha! Jeff's mom kasi is a high ranking employee in that bank kaya the guard allowed us to park our cars there. ;p

Dinner in Aveneto's Pizzeria!
The complete barkada is here! We split the whole crew into three groups: Team Joel, Team Che, and Team Ed. Team Joel consisted of Dom, Jeff, Drey, Jem, and Joel. Team Che were Me, Dale, Pilep, and Cheryl. Team Ed were Ed, Mark, Madonna, and Oninz. We had different orders per group so separate bills din. Hehe. We had a great time to say the least. Busog naman at hindi masyado mahal. That's why I really like Aveneto's. :)

After having a great dinner, it's uwian time. We were all exhausted. Ako nga namamaga yung thighs ko dahil sa kakatalon sa Wave pool eh. Hehe. We all bid our goodbyes and vowed that we will all have another great gimmik next time! They decided to get cabs to go home. Dom and Joel, on the other hand, will ride with Jeff. Me, I ride alone! Hahaha! Wawa naman ako, walang kasama! ;p

It was a really great outing! Thanks to Dom who orchestrated it all. Everything went as planned. I accomplished the tan that I've always wanted. I now have a bronze tan thanks to my Nivea Tanning Spray! ;p Also, it was great because we were almost complete with Jem and Drey there, with the exception of Pay who wasn't able to go. Meeting Drey and Jem again is great. I think the last time I saw them was last summer pa, so meeting them again was very nostalgic! :) Haaay.. kahit pagod na pagod ako, I really had a great time! Sana next time, may car radio na ako para hindi nakakabagot pag mag-isa nalang ako sa car! Hehehe! ;p
