pho... banh bao... sung.. vietnamese....

hehehe.. it was fun though i was soooo quite.... hehee... yoyen introduce me to her friends before her graduation and lately.. she's dragging me with them ... and i'm having fun also... it's fun to be with people who are different from your culture... i'm still shy and trying to read them....

TODAY... was cool and fun!... i wasnt supposedly to come to their dinner... because i barely know "phu sung" who is treating them... he is a vietnamese, friend of yoyen from school... whenver i see him it reminds me of benny..... hehe.. no strings attached... it's because of his nose and i eyes...and skin... their trip today was not that quiet different... my cousin , her bf and francis another friend of my cousin who is all 100% pinoy but grew up here at USA.... just wanted to taste vietnamese food which they never ever tasted in their whole life (wierd pips... never tasted vietnamese foood:D.. but normal) so we went down to the southern part more than 45 miles i assume... but not sure.. where the vietnamese people are... the homies of vietnamese.... hehe... we almost shook the town upside down just to find the good place to eat vietnamese food.. but it was fun!....

aftter an hour or two.. we decided to stop to any PHO restaurant that we see 1st... there we ate... i never know that all PHO restaurants have the same menu list... for example... number 3. pho rare rice noodles.... it will be alwasy number 3 and will be always pho rare rice noodle to all menu of pho restaurant you go... hehehe...

gezzzz the serving is toooooo big.. that i cant barely finish it!... it was sooo amazing that yoyen's bf , brian , finished his meal.. finished half of yoyen's and .... we went to another place to eat ... this time sung wants us to taste this siomai.. but the place was already closed so we went to a vietnamese bakery... we francis and brian ordered white bread 6 inches roast beef sandwishes.. like in subways... geeeezzszz they arent fulll yet to what we ate at the pho restaurant... after that ,they got BANH BAO (siopao sa pinoy)... geeeezzz!!!... lakas nila kumain...!!!..

sung, francis and brian are so funny when they tease each other... sung seems sensitive with his nationality .. but he can still handle the jokes.... .. all night francis was teasing sung to his x gf.. SUMMER... whome i dont know... yoyens joke ( so sung.. summer broke up with you last summer?), francis (there's dis one gurl that i asked which season do you liked best? the gurl answered.. PEPPER.... hahaha!!!... not SEASONING!)

( they say that sung doesnt want to hear about her anymore and he seem sensitive with that topic but to night...... he handled things ok... )

.... it was nice going out with new people... though i'm still quite silent whenever i'm with them :D.... si ej ba yun?!
haahha:)) ... TAKOT MAG ENGLISH! HAHHAA:)) joke!.... nahihiya pa.. hahaha:))

one of my NICEST EXPERIENCE...

hehhee... not really gimik.. we went to THE GROVE... window shopping ....SUPER ALIW!!! para kang nasa ibang bansa talaga! hehe... parang green belt 3 na disney na paris.... hehhee... sarap ng feeling to be there... the ambiance?!?!?!... SOOOO AWESOME!!!.... yung street walk is made of bricks... tapos there's jazz music ... on the street to set hte mood... frank sinatra! oh di ba!? sweet?! ... sarap siguro mag date dun!.. still i had fun with my officemates...... tapos we ate at the farmers market (food court) at one of the buffet grill ....where all the serbidor ay GUWAPO!!!!... PERO BADING!..... putcha! sayang talaga sila!!! ehheh... chinese yung nag slice ng steak, tapos yung kahero / kahera... european! oh di ba?! GUWAPO TALAGA!... sayang hindi ko sila na kunan ng pix.. kase ang tatatray nila sa babae eh..hehe lalo na yung european... pero yung chinese... mabait sya and he knows to smile kahit girl ka .. hehe.. at yung kahera.... obvious na bading sya!.... kase ang ganda ganda ng girl na nasa likod ko hindi nya tinitingnan.. pero tinitingnan nya yung guy na nasa likod namin.. and the funny part ... he's looking at his BUTT!... then bitting his lips.. hehehe... kitang kita!.. hahaha!!!.. he's sooooo obvious! heehhe.. ..

tapos we went window shopping... the mall is .... WAAAAAAAY AWESOME!!!!! DAMMMMN AWESOME!... we went to forever 21... BANANA REP!! ( geeeezzz SUPER LAKI!!!! parang it's a mall it self!!! .... 2FLOORS PA! ... NA PURO BANANA REP!!! ) .. nike also.. the interior was nice.. i like their flooring.. . "feel at home..." hindi na namin na ikot lahat kase it was already 9 pm... nag sasara na yung mga shops... basta .. ang lalaki ng bawat botique.... parang sta. monica promenade... pero way cooler!.. kase puro puti lang.. at high class sya... nakakatawa pa nga eh.. while walking at the side street... by the way... it's an out door mall.... meron one old white guy.. with his .. 3 year old grandson (i'm just assuming that he is the grand pa) .. eh mama nels and i where talking about the mall .. na .. it's a high class mall..kase it 's like the makati of the philippines.. or alabang where rich people hang out or like the fort.. but the middle class people can still hang out...... pero iba parin yung RODEO DRIVE (dun.. rich people talaga! hehe beverly hills na yun eh! where you can see HOLLYWOOD STARS TAGALA... hehehe)... hhhehe
... end of the commercial... it's kinda weird to hear a white guy talking IN STRAIGHT TAGALOG! hhehhe... ackward FEELING... kase hindi sya slang tagalog... straight tagalog! .. hehe... so yun....

tapos after all the shop had closed... lakad lakad lang kami kase the mall is still open for fine dinnings... and book store "barns and noble" it's up until 11 pm... tapos at the othe end of the mall there's this fountain ... the designer of the fountain is also the one that designed the fountain of BELAGIO hotel at vegas... there is a certain time where the fountain dance... ehhe... literaly dance... kase may music sya at sinasabayan nya yung soothing musicof FRANK SINATRA... feeling mo tuloy nag s-swing ka din... i took a video of it using my phone.. (alam ko jologs.. pero.. it's soooo nice) if you'd see it .. it's sooo romantic... sabi ko nga eh kung ... may pro-propose sa akin.... hehe... one option is there.. hhahaha!.. he could set up the place ... para solo namin yung area then set a table in the middle of the bridge... where the fountain show is ..... together with the soothing music.... then ask me for a dance... and propose... SWEET!... ... samahan mo pa ng lighting effects... feeling mo na sa paris ka ... heheh :D....
sarap mag imagine.. hahahha:D

after the dreaming at the fountain.. umuwi na kami .. kase gabi na eh... baka mapagalitan ako hehehe.... minsan lang naman ako lumabas eh... .. haaay i miss my life at pinas... na nakakagimik ako ... at madami akong naaaya.. hehe.. dito.. wala bahay uwi... pag kasama ko lang sila mama nels at nickee ako nakaka pasyal... :D

STILL I HAD SOOOO MUCH FUN THERE!... nabusog yung mata ko! hahaah:))

AMAR... eh green.. so AMAR ako... so easy easy ako.. pa drive drive lang... walang masyadong car kase side streets at gabi na...after 10 miles.. pag dating ko sa may bundok kung saan ma dilim dahil walang street lights... all of a sudden nag ingay yung car ko... tapos nag blink na yung warning light ko na .. SEAT BELT!... naka seat belt naman ako... i dont have any passenger para mag seat belt... TAKOT AKO!.. so i put the seat belts on para mag stop lang yung car sa pag iingay .. tapos hindi na ako tumingin sa mirrors ko kung may kasama ako sa car .. or what... my eyes where straight on the road and .. my other hand holding the rosary sa rear mirror ko..
