Pre-valentines dinner at TOSH

Well, if you have been an avid reader of my blog (just assuming), then you'll know that I'm still single. And this will be the 3rd valentines that I am boyfriend-less. It doesn't bother me at all, though. But I have to say that I miss getting flowers and chocolates or other special surprises during this special LOVE day. It just makes me want to sulk in bed all day until this Valentine's day is over. Naaah. Just kidding. ;)

So last Satuday, Feb. 12, 2011, me and TSC (The Singles Club) consisting of Sheng, Nina, Thamer and Adie planned on having a pre-valentines date dinner. This will also serve as a bonding moment for us. You see, we're all  very busy with work and other stuffs that we rarely get to see and spend time with each other. So the plan was to have dinner at The Old Spaghetti House (TOSH) in SM at 6pm. Well, Pinoys as we are, most of them were late for our plan. Hehehe. :))

We always love to eat at TOSH. So what's in this place that makes us come back for more?

First of all, they have GREAT SERVICE. I'd give them a 5-star rating for that. They always serve your food in time and the best thing is, it is served HOT.

Second, they have one of the BEST LOOKING FOOD ATTENDANTS. Since day one, I've always observed that most of the waitress or waiter that serves the food or hands out our bill are really good looking. I think it's part of their qualifications in hiring food attendants.

Third, they have one of the best pasta's served here in Cebu. Not only that, their pizza's are also delish! I haven't eaten any of their rice meals though. But during our dinner last Saturday, two of my friends told me they didn't like. Maybe it was in the way the pork was cooked. By the way, here are the foods we ordered:

* Calamares. Yumminess!!

* Spaghetti Pesto with Grilled Chicken. Ideal for those who wants to "lose" weight. ;)

* 5-cheese pizza. This pizza has mozarella, parmesan, and other cheeses that I failed to take note. Hehe. Note: The picture is edited. In actuality, it really looks yummy! And it's delish, too! :)

* Golden-Crusted Chicken, Ham and Cheese Crepe with Angel Hair Pomodoro. This, I ordered for myself. This has been always my favorite.

* Skillet BBQ Porkchop with Java Rice. This was what my two friends ordered. They both said they didn't like how the porkchop was cooked. I can't say for myself because I haven't tasted this yet.

And last but definitely not the least, TOSH has affordable prices. And believe me, their serving is really big so you won't regret ordering anything from their menu. 

But the best part about having dinner at TOSH is i get to share it with my friends. I've had countless of dinners here with some of my closest friends. And it's always the BEST!! :)

Thank you, TSC, for the fun-filled dinner and for the awesome conversations and bloopers that we had. Looking forward to having more dinners with you guys. :)

February - The love month?

It's the first day of February and the timeline in my Twitter starts to display tweets about it being the start of the Love month. The same goes to the news feed in my Facebook account. So what do I feel about this? A little annoyed and excited. 

Why annoyed? First and foremost, I think they don't really mean February as the love month. They only said that because it is the month where Valentine's day is being celebrated. Can't every month be the "love" month? Huh? But I don't see anything wrong with the person saying that..I just found something wrong with the message itself. Second, I've been single for two years already. For my close friends, this is the farthest I've gone without having a "special someone". Two years of being single meant two years of celebrating valentines without a love life. I feel annoyed when some people (even my friends) pressure me on finding a date. It makes me feel that it is a requirement of some sort to a "happy" life. I know they just want me to have FUN on this "love" day but that doesn't mean I can't be happy if I spend valentines day without a date, right?

Valentine's Day. Feb 2009. Celebrated it at TOSH with bestfriend Christine

 Why excited? Because my friends and my Mom are celebrating their birthdays this month. My nephew will also be baptized this month which is something I'm looking forward to. And on Valentines day, even though I've been single for two years, I have a planned date with my bestfriend and my family. You see, two years ago, I spent my Valentines with my bestfriend Christine and the last year was spent with  my family because it was a sunday. Even though it doesn't feel the same as when you're having a date with your boyfriend on Valentines day, I actually enjoyed spending it with Christine and my family. I don't have to dress up beautifully nor do I have to smell that good. Haha! And I don't have to act cheesy because I know that I can just act normal. Haha! But seriously though, I'm still happy even without a boyfriend on V-day.

So to those who are in a relationship, complicated or not, may you have the loveliest Valentines Day celebration evaaah!

And for those who are single, like me, don't despair. There are sooo many ways to celebrate Heart's day. So go ahead and plan something wonderful and fun! :)
