Sunday @ Bonifacio High Street

Sunday was nice and slow and relaxing for Chief and I. We spent a couple of hours at Seattle’s Best Serendra. The place was nearly full as Porche enthusiasts were gathering with their nice cars for breakfast. That made service a little slow.

Chief had the scrambled eggs with corned beef, while I had two pieces of hotdogs, also with eggs and three pieces of bread. Chief read her book, “The Google Story” which I still have to finish, while I was catching up on thesis paperwork. Finished proposals by Chesca, Lloyd, Gian and Jac, but am still a long way to go.

Then, we browsed around at Fully Booked. Bought the September 2007 issue of Good Housekeeping, with Ruffa Gutierrez as cover. The bookstore’s 5 floors had more than enough space for kids and parents to enjoy browsing through hundreds of books. I read a few pages about Golden Retrievers. Maybe, one day, when we have a house with a lawn, we will have a couple of dogs around and being chased by our kids.

By noon, “gutom” moved us to TGIF. Gosh, we haven’t been to any TGIF in years. Before, Chief and I simply enjoyed salad and fried calamari. Today, we shared garden salad with blue cheese dressing plus 6 pieces fried mozzorella. Described as hot and gooey inside. Crisp and golden outside. Served with marinara sauce for dipping.Total bill was around 600 pesos. And I had strawberry flavored lemonade.

The place was crowded. Really small, with not much elbow room. But the staff were attentive to customer’s needs. Even had three refills of my drink. TGIF is extra special for Chief and I as TGIF Glorietta was host to a big Christmas among ou r friends a few years ago. This was the first TGIF restaurant in the Philippines. Plus, we were able to eat at TGIF at the heart of Times Square back in 2003. Logo and photo from www.tgifridays.com

Then, spent 100 pesos at TimeZone, playing House of the Dead 2. Reached only up to level 2. Time Crisis was occupied by kids. Maybe, next time. Next Sunday again? Logo from www.timezonegames.com

How did you spend your Sunday?
