Post Valentine Update

Before Peter and I went to sleep that fateful Valentine’s day, we were already ok. I just hugged him  and kissed him and said sorry. I also read to him and Papa my previous entry even before I decided to finally post it. I even asked Papa “Pa, I’m so bad. Do you want another ‘daughter-in-law’?” To which Pa answered , “No anak… the devil you know is still better than the devil you don’t know…Hehehe… Ikaw ang mahal ko…”  Awww…who can beat that? I guess I need to be goody-goody now. Peter and Pa deserves so much more from me.

The next day, Feb. 15, the three of us had dinner at Hap Chan near our place in QC. It’s sort of a preliminary for the actual post valentine celebration we’d be doing the next day. And since we were training our tummies to be flexible and expandable in preparation for the buffet, we had coffee and dessert at Figaro nearby. I was full to the point of nausea!

We bought a brand new underwater camera! Our Pentax is still not repaired coz the service center is located in New Manila and is only open Mon-Fri during office hours.  I don’t know if I’ll have the time to go there any time soon. And God only knows how long repairing it will take. So, with all our upcoming travels, I couldn’t wait anymore to have my Pentax done so I bought a new one. Hehehe. I really am impulsive.

We went ahead with our dinner buffet at the new Spiral Restaurant at the Philippine Plaza. Man! It does have the longest buffet ever. I looked like a pregnant woman after 3 hrs of eating. I think I tasted everything on the table especially all the goodies in the dessert section. Hehehe.

Aside from the buffet, we also saw a dragon and ballet show. It was held on the stage in the middle of the pool area and it looked so magical and fantastic!
