A night of health, gluttony, anxieties, and beer

I think the last time I saw Angie was back in post-grad college, during our NLE review days. That was 2008. It really was a long time no see thing. Well, being the book lovers that we are, we met again at SM Megamall's National Bookstore. Actually, it was because I came first and was hanging out at the bookstore. 

We then headed for dinner at Shangri-La Plaza's Sentosa, a South and Southeast Asian cuisine (but there was no Filipino dish there). It was... it was a gluttony dinner. What we had were Thai Grilled Lemongrass Chicken, Seafood Omelette with Sambal Sauce, Nasi Goreng Fried Rice, Chrysanthemum Tea (Angie, it was chrysanthemum!), and Bandung Rose Milk Tea. Yeah, there were only two of us. Per Angie, which I also agree, Sentosa was a good choice for us to dine. We needed a quiet place to talk about things.

And talk we did, about things, about people, about me, about her, about the food, about anything. It was refreshing, yes the Badung Rose Milk Tea and the second serving of Chrysanthemum Tea were, being in a different environment and situation. I told Angie what has been bothering me at work.

Knowing that the night bore tons of feels for both of us, Angie and I decided to have some beer at Brotzeit German Bier Bar & Restaurant. It was my first time at Brotzeit and I loved their Preiselbier (Dunkel Hefe-Weissbier with cranberry juice). I think I'd be visiting again, alone or with company.

Going Back Yesterday

So I got stuck at home today. Wasn't feeling fine. Call it malady whatsoever (I just want to use the word actually) or simply body malaise. Nausea, which has been on and off for days, and stomachache. I had to rest a bit which got extended. It's like Solo's five minutes.

Speaking of Solo, I feel like watching the film - The Man from UNLCE - again. If only it won't cost me another P170 and about 2 hours, fine I would. I watched it last night at Robinsons Place Antipolo. I kind of had to watch a movie after shopping for some toiletries and undergarments. I actually had to force myself to shop for undergarments, and for some shirts but this was days ago. Hashtag needs.

Heading to a bookstore's warehouse because it's on sale was another thing though. There was just no need to force or push me to bother the tour. I'm talking about going to National Bookstore in Quezon Avenue yester lunch. I wasn't able to buy a book though because the line was just competing with infinity. I don't even remember seeing the last person in line. The warehouse itself was congested. And it was just the first day.

Had I went to a nail salon or the like, my day yesterday would've been a complete pamper day. From bookstore window shopping to undergarments shopping and movie watching. It was quite epic. I even got to do laundry (minus the jeans) when I got home.
