Korean day

Last week, my friend Marie invited me to meet her friend Tina. My sister Ia on the other hand asked me to accompany her in getting the 6th installment of the Harry Potter Series. I thought that we'd swing by Market! Market! at 10 Am, then pick up Marie from her house, then swing by Tina's office, then head off to My Room, which I haven't visited in almost a month. Then, Friday night, another friend of mine, Patty, texted me and asked if we could push through with our plans to eat at the Korean Restaurant I was talking about (one of my previous posts). I told her that I already made plans the next day and asked if it was ok with her, we could eat at the Korean restaurant then hit My Room (since she has never been to My Room before). She said ok and that our other friends (from the bitter barkada), Cherry (the mother of all bitterness), and Tina, would be joining us as well. I told Marie of the plan and went to sleep.

The next day, I woke up late. So Ia (who only slept for only an hour) and I hurried off to Market! Market! to buy the book and dashed off to pick Marie up. Then we headed over to Oakwood and picked up Patty, Cherry, and Tina bebe (just to distinguish her from the other Tina). Then it was off to Jin Go Gae for lunch!!!

At the restaurant, we ordered just a little: beef tenderloin, chapjae, soft tofu soup, and grilled shrimps. By the time the actual food came along, we were almost full because of the assorted side dishes we ate as appetizers. Then Marie's friend, Tina, arrives and she looks so much like Shin Eun-gyeong (the girl in My Wife is a Gangster). hehe!! We all chat for a bit then decide its time to go to My Room. We dropped Tina off at her office when I suggested to the others that we have dessert by buying ice cream at the Korean grocery I frequented. Too bad for me that there wasn't any walnut ice cream. I had to be content with the Melon bar (which was also good). :)

At My Room, I introduced the otheres to my friend Angie. While us "veterans" were chatting, the other Tina texted Marie and asked if we wanted to go to a norebang (videoke) that was near the restaurant. Ia, Marie and I decided that we wanted to go and was able to convince Angie to come with us. Patty, Cherry, and Tina bebe, asked to be dropped off at Glorietta. After taking the 3 on a tour of Makati, we said our goodbyes, and headed off to Tina's office. The 5 of us crammed into Angie's car and headed off to the norebang place. Oh man!! it was just like in the movies!! They even had the tamborines in the room. hehe!! It was soooo much fun. Tina, Marie, and Angie were great singers.



Ia (who by that time sounded like she had a frog in her throat from lack of sleep) and I pretended to be fans by chanting their names while they sang. hehe!! Then I started requesting for all these songs that I knew and I was surprised that even the new ones that were just released were already there!! anyway, after that we went back to Tina's office and had dinner with her. We ate ttobokki, ramyun, tonkatsu and meat dumplings. Needless to say, Ia and I went home pretty stuffed.

Saturday turned out to be a Korean day trip. :) well except for the Harry Potter part. (^_^)
