11.11.11

November 11, 2011 is a pretty special day for everybody. I'm sure everybody had their own celebrations, whether its with family, friends, officemates and lovers.

As for me, I spent it with my friends pigging-out at one of the nearest restaurants in our university, which is Mang Inasal. Mang Inasal is famous for their delicious grilled chicken and unlimited rice meals, it means, you can buy a meal and have as many rice as you can. Earlier that day, they were having a promo that when you are a group of 11 people, every meal will be worth only Php11.00  (about $0.27 or $0.30). Haha, that's a great deal if you ask me. The hard thing is to find eleven people to go and avail their promo.

Well, by the time we went there it was around 8:30 in the evening so most of our other friends have already gone home coz most of them have morning to afternoon classes. So we were planning to just drag a few more strangers who are willing so we could complete our number. We were six so we only needed five more people. But, unfortunately, no such luck for us 'cause it was Friday night and everybody has gone somewhere else to spend their evening.

So, the six of us went there and as usual it was jam-packed, we were lucky there was a recently vacated table when we came in. And because the place was full, we waited a a long to time for our orders to be served. Before and after pictures are down below.

My best girl Ida! <3

Nicole, she was strangely quiet throughtout the evening, but I guess it was bcoz of our nonstop teasing. hahaha LOL

Lindsay, as always, goofing around. hahaha XD

This is 20 minutes after we ordered. Look at our faces! HAHAHA

30 minutes. Alright, that's it, we were so hungry we decided to eat each other. lol

Right after the above picture was taken, our food was finally served.

See, after our stomachs were finally filled, we were all smiles! :D

"Say, who downed four cups of rice! She doesn't get fat no matter how many she eats. Curse you, 'Say! jk.

Ida, gesturing "Down" to the food! hahaha!

Most of us only manged to eat two cups of rice except for our winning contender Lindsay with Nicole coming to a close second with 3 and a half cups. Hahaha!

It was a fun night all in all. I hope we get to spend time like this more often with a few more friends.

And oh! I almost forgot, 11.11.11 is exactly one month until my birthday! Time flies fast! I cant believe I'll be nineteen in  a month! Soooooo, you guys knows what this means! Gifts!!! hahaha!! Soon, I'll be creating a post about  my wishlist  so you better check it out and start saving money! hahahaha!!

Ja, matta ne! (^_^)/"

Lesson Learned

I just had this debate with my friend about "Harry Potter promotes satanic witchcraft". Naturally, Im in the Con. I was so angry at everything she's saying. We insulted each other, . . . okay, I insulted her,( I'm a bitch,what can I say?) But hey, it was a very intelligent debate, the insults were subtle. Anyway, we were arguing and strongly justifying our points.And then suddenly, I felt a tugging in my heart. Its like a little voice in the back my head is saying: "Stop.This is not worth sacrificing your friendship!". I felt tired afterwards, the debate made me so tired that I had to eat a second dinner! :p

So , I apologized to her. And she did the same. :) I was so relieved coz I thought that really was the end of our friendship. I mean, we're not that close but still, it hurts to lose a friend no matter how deep or not your relationship with each other is. And I realized, I acted like a big hypocrite! Of all people's traits,the one thing I hate the most is hypocrisy. All the more, to think that one of the things Harry Potter wants to teach its readers is friendship!I felt like I betrayed Harry! ( TT_TT )

So, I am going to share this Harry Potter quote to you guys and let this experience be a lesson to us all.
 "It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but a great deal more to stand up to our friends."
