flashbacks: Pino Reunion


Alvin, one of my friends in college and of course classmate sa 4BA1 went back here for a short time galing US at di mawawala kung di namin siya imeet. 

Place was set sa Pino, which incidentally kabatch mate namin yun one of the owners, a great place to dine, or date. hahaha Or inom na din for those beer lovers. 

Many were invited but due to that tight time and day, it was Tuesday ata at night, so malamang marami ang di nakapunta. We started around 8pm as soon siyempre Alvin arrived. Well, di naman suprise na kami nila Ivan, Raims and William were there and Joanne of course, but suprisingly, dumating yun dalawang abogado, Leonid at JP, at after long years, Lorraine was there. hehe At Fofo surprised us, and what was funny, it's like the usual 4BA1 talk. Although sa umpisa siyempre, hours of chismax. 

Siyempre, kung ano nasa Pino, dun na lang yun. hahahahaha. Kakatawa yun mga secrets and closures revealed. Ehem. hehe Many changed, such as careers of course, status have moved up and things as well. Apperance, hmmmm parang hindi. hehe Hair style I guess pero siguro ako at si Lorraine lang nagchange ng hairstyle. 

What never changed is the atmosphere kami lang eh parang pagpasok mo sa umaga ng 4BA1, kampante, usap usap, tawanan at laglagan din. hehe Kaso sa mga abogado daw, di na pwede kampante, after work na lang. hahaha

While conversing siyempre in different aspects or stuff, etong Pino eh ayos sa food. Wow, kung mag bagnet sila talagang bagnet, try that Kare Kare bagnet, and you'll be full and highblood as well. hehe Memorable yun mga salad nila, at may menu sila for pinoy vegan so galing, and the ambiance is kinda tight, bagay sa night dining. Service is great, I mean waiters serves great and even gives you suggestion in a pinoy way. 
Sometime, hmmm parang puntahan ko yun branch nila na mas malapit. I want to try that salad I ate, kinda forgot the name. hahaha Sarap kasi. 

Their specialty? Oh, yun flavored beer nila. Which yes, I still did not try it. Ganun na ko lumayo sa beer. Geez. Sober or staying out of it, nagawa ko. Pero sabi nun mga tumikim, sulit, so I don't know when I can taste one. hahaha 

Like I said above, fine dining or date, sobrang pwede dito. Price is kinda reasonable, value for money naman. Mahal nga pero sulit. 

Enough of the review. But anyway, actually eto lang naman, but we did miss Alvin and we hope he'll come back, longer sana. 

I hope, well kung may magyaya ulit from 4BA1 galing overseas or such, marami naman pumunta. Kakatawa nga kasi sa Precom eh record na sa reunion pero kaunti lang naman close ko dun. 4BA1, I have many close friends or almost I know them pero they just don't show up. It's sad but ganun talaga. 

Please, di po ko hanapan na mga nawawala. O ano balita sa kanila ha. hahaha

Honestly, I got grilled for some moments that night.

It's fine. Past is damn really past. It's done. =)
