Of Heroes And Buffets
We went to Glorietta today. It was entirely because of my little cousins. They heard through the grapevine that there will be an event there concerning their current obsession -- the cartoon Ben 10. So being the persuasive little buggers that they are, they managed to convince their parents to take them there. As for Tito Bobet and I, we just tagged along.
Since we arrived early at Glorietta, we decided to have a late lunch at Dad's / Saisaki / Kamayan. For those who don't know this place, it's a restaurant famous for it's eat-all-you-can buffets...
And that's just what we did.
Personally, I indulged myself with the Japanese food.
That is actually my second helping. Total sushi love. <3
And what's more, they gave away complimentary teddy bears for every cold drink ordered. X3
After what seemed like an eternity, we left the restaurant to find the activity area. And while famiglia Calangi was busy grabbing seats for the event, Tito Bobet and I wandered around in search of a cafe that hopefully serves good coffee. We eventually found one and I had the rare honor of paying for my uncle (usually, it was the other way around). Since we only wanted to aid our digestion (our slightly bulging bellies were starting to become embarassing), we ordered one shot of Espressos each. Tito had a Espresso Macchiato while I had one with Caramel in it (which was a little sickeningly sweet). Note to self: Just order a normal one next time.
After that we went back to the activity area. We just opted to watch from afar since the seating area was packed with kids and their families. As much as I hate to admit it, the show was pretty interesting.
On another note, I finally found (and bought) a copy of A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Sure, the image of Camille Prats and Angelica Panganiban as Sarah and Becky will be forever embedded in my memory, but I simply had to have a copy of the book. The last time I read was in high school when my favorite teacher, Ms. Roda, lent it to me. ^^
To add more bookworm happiness to the mix, I also got a copy of the book that I've got my eye on for quite a while: The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. I was planning on getting Eclipse, the last book of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series but since I haven't even read my copy of New Moon, which may I add, is still in the same state as I bought it two months ago -- wrapped in the protective film -- I decided otherwise.
