Who would want to go out when it's raining outside? Crazy lovers, maybe.
Or a guy dying to see his boyfriend who can't really say no because (aside from being hot) his boyfriend sounded really desperate to go out.
I was actually thinking more of a night-in. But as you all know, Kat's in the picture. So we decided to venture out into the rain. Our first idea was to go to Next Door on Makati Avenue because Jake was craving Chinese. But there were no available parking slots. And Jake suddenly decided that he wanted to go to Manila! Which was exactly what I was thinking. So we decided that it was a great idea and headed off to Malate.
We drove past Orosa and Nakpil and headed first to Hap Chang on Padre Faura. Did you know that Hap Chang has the second best siomai in Manila, after the Shangri-La Hotels? Yes! If you don't believe me, visit their restaurant and look on the walls. I'm not telling you what to look for though.
I was feeling like having coffee and right across was Midtown, my favorite mall in Manila (as if you'd have any choice), with a Starbucks and a Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf beckoning. Unfortunately, there wasn't any parking, so off we went to Nakpil cor. Orosa.
We're not really planning to party since it was raining. But it waned a bit while we were eating inside Hap Chang. So we just went to the stores, Top & Bottom and Pride Exchange. Or was it Pride Exchange and the Rainbow Project? I dunno. Basta, we were there for porn and for sex toys.
Little Jake was sleepy by 2:00 a.m. so we decided to go home instead. I didn't sleep in because of the Kat factor but at least I got to see him today. Meanwhile, I leave you with this pretty picture of my favorite mall in Manila, Midtown at Robinson's Place Ermita, from Top Dog (http://iamthetopdog.blogspot.com)

how romantic! hehe. dr. zhivago walked miles and miles of raging snow blizzard to be with his love. if that is not love, i don't know what is.
awwwwwwww
Midtown is nice in this angle. but there's nothing in it! haha... it's just a huge space. i hope they fill it up soon or it'll look like a huge warehouse
Regarding the photo, no biggie :)
topdog: what camera do you use?
About the siomai of hapchan... they're nice and they are like one of my top fives... but there are a whole lot of other nice places for siomai... try going through ongpin street... that's what we did... we bought siomai from all the restos around the area from president's to david's tea house... we call it the "siomai run" it was fulfilling and funny how the smaller shops had better tasting siomai's compared to the big restos :)
