We missed the fun of spending holidays outside last Christmas so for the first day of 2012, my mother agreed to spend it in Marquee Mall. Even if mall hours would start at 12 noon during New Year, we didn’t mind going there early to get a good parking slot. A spacious parking area greeted us when we arrived there 30 minutes before the opening time.

Weekend Dinner At Shakey’s
So we spent our weekend through malling at Marquee Mall. We initially wanted to go to Trinoma but we were expecting inconvenience due to holiday implications. After we had lunch at Red Kimono, we were supposed to watch a movie but all seats were taken already. We just decided to stay for a few more minutes before going home. No one was in the mood for spa but everyone agreed to have dinner at Shakey’s Pulilan.
Satisfying Cravings At Conti’s
It was Monday but most people didn’t have to go to their school or office because it’s National Heroes’ Day. My younger sister chose to give up the double pay opportunity and instead enjoy the holiday with us. Unfortunately, my youngest sister had to miss the long weekend (Tuesday is a holiday, too!) because holidays don’t exist in their company’s vocabulary. Tsk. She would receive double pay, though, so it wasn’t too bad at all.
First T.G.I. Friday’s Lunch For 2011
My brother was still with us this New Year and that’s a good thing for us. Every time he’s here, there’s a greater possibility that he’ll pay for our lunch/dinner or at least share with the expenses. It’s New Year so we went after a quite expensive lunch. If we failed to go to Marquee Mall last Christmas, we made it this time. Italianni’s was still closed early this year so we decided to go for T.G.I. Friday’s. Since my brother will surely contribute with the expenses, we again ordered for something that is quite expensive.
Something New at Tempura Japanese Grill
It’s Christmas and my brother was here in the Philippines. It’s been a tradition for the family to go out during Christmas to get away from people coming to our house for “aguinaldo”. We’ve been doing this for years, with or without my father and/or brother. Since we’re expecting Trinoma would be crowded during the holiday, we initially planned to go to Marquee Mall. Feeling lazy to take another jeep going to Angeles, and scourge ourselves with the Sun’s heat, we ended up having lunch at SM San Fernando (Pampanga). Looking for something new, we decided to eat lunch at Tempura Japanese Grill.
