To be able to sprint from Ayala/Paseo de Roxas to Greenbelt (and back) wearing a 4-inch pumps - braving the sizeable Makati lunch hour crowd- is a gift.
It's a rare talent given to a chosen few(mostly to girls under 4ft, ehem,like myself)..haha

No we're not heading to Perez-dom. I'm just channeling my inner Gossip Girl(just four more days of waiting by the way!). And yes I'm bored.
Just a bit of a background: Yesterday at work, I received yet another brain-wracking e-mail. I cannot disclose the email of course, but this is how it sort of looked like:
To: M (Manila)
Apply historical simulation approach for ___ calculation.
Split the _______ into ____ and Pure Skew ___ components. This is another tricky bit..<insert all unimaginable formula>.. Blah Blah.
Sorry it's a bit formulaic
From: S (London)
Sorry it's a bit formulaic???? Believe me it's the understatement of the year.
Don't get me wrong. I actually like brain-wracking emails, being the complete nerd that I am. I was just not in the mood for anything resembling a Math exam. Plus it was almost 7pm.
So in the hopes of finding serenity, strength and wisdom (to answer the email), I went to Rustans. Then there she was, Pretty Young Thing (PYT), browsing through racks after racks of bikini- goodness.
Who is PYT?
1. She's a starlet with a ridiculously gorgeous beach body.
2. Her surname sounds like a royalty
3. She's dating a band vocalist (who was with her shopping)
4. Bandboy is a religious boy.
5. And this is just too sweet, PYT is apparently now participating in his Church actvities.
Good for them.
That's it.
I know you love me

max brenner is well known for their chocolates and newborn waiters (haha..chocolate by the BALD man that is) but who wouldve thought that a twisted and fun chocolate drink resides at their menu. i didnt think so. well yeah...im amazed by their *drumdroll* SUCKAO.
from their own menu, max brenner descbribes Suckao as the espresso of the chocolate drinks. it is a small, dense, concentrated shot of rich chocolate. the term "Suckao" is made up of two words that describe the utensil and the unique drink it contains:
Suck - to draw the dense liquid through the metal tube.
Kakao - the spanish word for cocoa beans from which the rich chocolate drink is made and which determines its quality.
Thus the name Suckao.
But to live up to this exciting drink, we should all know the key elements:
visit max brenner for a real life feel of the suckao! :)

i learned about a1b a couple of months ago while strolling @ salcedo. the concept was interesting and so is the name. simple yet classy... 'apartment1b'. but it didnt came to me that it's really an apartment with the unit name 1b. i wonder where's apartment1a? ha-ha.
located at one lafayette, a1b (formerly confusion bar) is a pretty good place to hang out. not to mention the cozy ambiance especially on the second floor where the sofas are.but a good dining place always comes with a price and this place is no exception. expect to spend 2000-2500 if you're eating a set meal with a partner. well, not bad for a special date. *wink*
