When it comes to all things impromptu, we're usually pretty good at handling these things with pin-point accuracy.

So it was no surprise that my friends, Charles and Mark, invited us to a huge sale / event held by HeyWhereYou.com as per below:

So we met with Ian, Charles, Mark, Chen, Obie, and the rest of our friends there and we checked out some of the stuff they were selling. And to say that they left empty handed, well, that'd be lying, and lying is wrong. Right, Mark's new shirt and Charles' new jacket? Haha!

For the record, The Bar is the best drinking buddy that ever came out in recent memory. Big bang for the buck, and tastes just as awesome. Especially their new apple vodka. But who knew that would eventually be the "appetizer" of sorts?

So we eventually made our way to La Mesa Grill after the event and had an impromptu gathering. ALL IN, GUYS!!

La Mesa Grill is certainly awesome in many respects. Why? There's a little story to that...

You see, one day, when me and my friends were in Trinoma after a great gimik, we decided to look for a good place to drink out. And beer towers have always been a bonus to any place we decide to drink at. Then that fateful moment came in, when we saw La Mesa Grill in Trinoma, near Pancake House in particular.

We first ordered a beer tower, which was the order of the night. And we also check out what we can order so we can also fill our stomachs at the same time. Our eyes saw this one interesting order that made us decide that La Mesa was the place to be:

TOFU SISIG. FOR ONLY PHP90.00. +PHP10.00 if you prefer to have egg on top of that sizzling tofu.

And damn, it was extremely good! We loved the tofu sisig so much that we kept on ordering and ordering more and more together with our constant refill of drinks. It was heaven in a plate, my friends! Tofu sisig and drinks make a complete package in of itself. And the best part, besides promoting a vegetarian alternative to pulutan in drinking sessions? Your wallet will thank you. You'll feel very good by the end of your session, bank on that. You'll thank me afterwards.

Let me repeat: Tofu Sisig + drinks at La Mesa Grill = MECCA. No wonder tables in La Mesa are constantly full and that people (including us) prefer to leave after closing hours.

And that's what we had, and some of our friends wanted some other orders like the TAHONG! Fantastic!

Unfortunately, due to their Sunday schedule and that the next day is Bonifacio day, La Mesa closed pretty early. So we had to look for another place to hang out.

Enter Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf.

(^ Looking good up there! But that's still my drink. Haha! =P)

When I say I'll use the sleeve on any drink as per the stipulation I set up in my first entry, I wholeheartedly mean it. You name the place, Coffee Bean, Starbucks, Figaro, Seattle's, or any other establishment you can think of locally and internationally, I'll use it.

It was a great night for all. Here's for more!
