PERI-PERI CHICKENLast Friday, I had dinner with my girlfriends along with two of B's friends at Peri-Peri Chicken in Promenade. E came to pick me up because B was caught in traffic and would be late if he would still pick me up at home. E wore a black lace top and jeans while I wore an aqua blue tank over brown shorts. After dressing up and powdering our face, E and I headed off to Greenhills to meet the boys, Alvin and Michael. Alvin and Michael were already seated on a table waiting for us. I really felt sorry for making them wait when I was the one who set the time. As usual, K was dramatically late once again. But what's new? K wore a black jacket over a dressy top and a pair of black skinnies. We had dinner while having a friendly conversation with each other. Of course, the night wasn't complete without B's one-of-a-kind teasing that is intended to spark things up with K and Alvin. It got me laughing like crazy! When it was time to go, I kissed my girlfriends goodbye and walked off with the boys. I noticed that Alvin kept looking back staring at K. Seems like the boy was hit by cupid's arrow. :)

TOPE & HAYDEE'S WEDDINGMANDARIN ORIENTALI love weddings! I love seeing the bride walk down the aisle in her beautiful white gown. The most beautiful dress a girl could ever wear in her entire life. I love looking at the groom waiting in the front of the church, staring at his beautiful bride, lost in her beauty. Weddings are the closest thing to a fairytale in this world.
K was so sweet to invite us to her brother's wedding. Haydee was a radiant bride with a very beautiful smile. My guess is that Tope probably fell in love with her smile. Tope was a handsome groom in his tux. As for us girls, it was the usual dressing up and dolling up night. K, the bridesmaid, wore a heart-neck ruched fuchsia gown with her hair teased and curled. A wore a navy blue off-shoulder dress with a white belt to emphasize the waist. E wore a maroon goddess dress with a very sexy back detail. D wore a blue square-neck mini dress w/ ruched sleeves. I wore an old rose jewel-neck mini dress with a black silk belt on my waist and a pair of black velvet pumps. And B, my handsome date, was so sweet to be our photographer of the night as we posed and smiled vainly in the camera. :)

When I see my ICA friends, I always feel like I'm back in high school. I can be crazy and carefree once more. No holding back. No acting all grown-up and mature. And this is what I love most about my friends. But when V invited us for dinner at Le Souffle to celebrate her 25th birthday, I was taken aback. The numerals made quite an impact to me. Wasn't it only yesterday when we can't stop talking about our prom during algebra?!
Are we really turning 25 this year?
VALERIE'S 25TH BIRTHDAYLE SOUFFLEV invited only us girls to her birthday dinner. No boyfriends. No hubbies. Just girls for a night of pure girl talk. As always, it was a night of dressing up and catching up on everyone's lives. K wore a green dress with a yellow belt emphasizing her small waist. S wore a green knit turtleneck over gray slacks. V, the birthday celebrant, wore a printed brown dress and wedged espadrilles. E wore a brown conservative mini dress with strappy gold sandals. And I wore my sexy brown tube dress (one of my favorite dresses) with fuchsia high heels.
Pretending to be the girls of
Sex and the City, K proclaimed herself as the ever fashionable and stylish Carrie Bradshaw. S, with her promising career and boy cut 'do, refused to accept that she is Miranda Hobbes. C, miles away in Tokyo, is Samantha Jones. While I was unanimously voted as conservative and idealistic Charlotte York. Someday, years and decades from now, we girls would still be dressing up, catching up, sitting together, having dinner, and sipping our coffees and teas while we talk about our crazy lives!
