UPS dinner

oh, yeah, lest i forget, let me tell you about how the dinner with my UP friends-slash-orgmates went.

last night, me, twinks, blue, anna and her bf richard met at greenbelt and devoured the lovely meals served us at the kitchen. the food was served in a gigantic plate and mala-pala spoons, as in; and the meals were named creatively, mine was "undercover". (there was "i say tomato, you say tomato" for a red-sauced pasta; "barbie's cue" for the meal with three sticks of meat in it.) my "undercover" was chicken wrapped in mala-palaspas something, with chili sauce and pandan rice. their version of iced tea rocks, imagine it tasted like sago and gulaman, minus the sago and gulaman. hehe. tap water from the resto looked fancy as well. it was served in champagne bottles with mint leaves in it. we laughed to our hearts's content, more specially about anna and her mom's dog, a meek doberman,beat that.

as we finished our meals, and after hitting off with the restroom (which, by the way, didn't suit my taste, masikip e), we fed our curiousity as to the parang salt served in a mini-platter on our table. we thought it could be (a) salt talaga; (b) shabu, hehe; or, (c) tawas. the waiter said that salt daw yun, placed there as condiment.

i promise to go back there. nice place, yummy meals, creative ideas. try it at greenbelt or at galleria.

then we had coffee. i changed my name to "angel" hahaha!!! ask my friends why. it took the best actress in me not to laugh as the barista called me. hehehe. then a good talk ensued.

a friend was having problems with the status of her child. the family code is indeed one code of loopholes. you see, this friend conceived and gave birth to her child before reaching the legal age. she got married to the father of the child later on (they wanted to spend their own money for their wedding, galing no!). yet you know what, she has to file a petition in court to rectify the status of her child. a petition to adopt!!! w-e-i-r-d!!! this is due to the requirement in the family code daw that for a child to be legitimated by subsequent marriage of his/her parent, dapat no impediment, including the age impediment. haay.. imagine you have to adopt your own child!!! absurd!

then the talk shifted to petitions for change of name. hay sobra we are so bad with how we howled monstrous laughters at other people's names. for the protection of the surnames concerned, leave me a message, kwento ko na lang personally, hehe.

miss going to UP tuloy. minus the tuition fee hike ah.
