Zola Dagupan just opened recently and it has been making a huge buzz around the little city of Dagupan and we only have one person to thank, and that is the same guy responsible for putting up Zola Baguio.

For me and Boo’s first monthsary, I took him to Zola to see what the buzz is all about. But not only that, i gave him a new haircut as you can see in the picture, and the fabulous shirt he is wearing as well. It kinda brings out the sophisticated rocker inside of him, don’t you think?

I am telling you people, prepare yourself for a whirlwind around Zola with my infamous “smile”, for sprinkling it all over the place would be a complete understatement.

With Boo being the one in-the-know with all the dishes in Zola, I allowed him to do the ordering for he knows what’s best.

As for me, I guess you know by now what happens next…

Drinks, anyone?

I on the other hand was wearing the white cargo jeans and black top he gave me.

We ordered bolognese and carbonara and an 8″ pizza for dinner and given the time to prepare these kinds of dishes, I’d have to say it was served pretty fast.

I wasn’t ready with my “smile” yet and Boo took the shot already. Hmf!

Spell YUM! Y-U-M!

It was pretty small being a pizza lover, but after binging on the bolognese I had, I left my last slice untouched. I think the pictures alone are enough justification on how much I loved the food.

First the Bolognese. . .

Then the pizza. . .

Okay, okay, I may have overdone this whole trying-to-gain-weight thing

After all that food I was ready to go to the comfort room LOL. I was full to my throat and the iced tea was just enough to quench my thirst.

Or maybe not…

It was pretty fun shouting at each other with so much noise we had to compete with. But as the night went further on, the older people started leaving so we pretty much had a cozy ending to our date. Before we left the fabulous location while Boo was at the comfort room, I used my pizza knife and dabbed it on the saucer with catsup and left a message for him on a tissue paper which read “I (heart) you”. It sure did put a smile on his face.

Happy First Monthsary Boo! I certainly had a great time!

Days had passed but this was the only time I had to blog about me and Huggie’s special day celebrated last July 10, 2008. Better late than never I always say.

———-

So we were supposed to have our make-up class with our instructor, Ms. Inacay, but turns out she had sore eyes. She sent me a text message minutes before I was about to leave the house which was truly a jumping moment for me. I was super amped about the news that I sent Boo an instant message telling him to call me up so I could spill the good news to him. When he called up, he was as excited as I was. Truly, the day was meant to happen happily for the two of us.

So I met up with him where we were to have our Lunch, which was at Jack’s. We love the food there because we get a lot of serving for the price we can afford.

So once again, the serving of the food took quite a while. I was loving Boo’s outfit that I wanted to capture it on camera.

He simply makes the best candid photos which I envy so much.

As boo looked super fab ala Christian Siriano, I looked like the crap ordered from hell. Seriously, I need a wardrobe change!

I look soo bad the picture needed to be captured via Sepia.

So after having the Jack’s rice last time, we decided to order something different.

I orderd the Lechon Kawali (bottom dish) served with fried rice, while Boo had their Sizzling Pork Chop (top dish). I wasn’t able to taste the pork chop so I really couldn’t tell you guys if it’s a winner or a never-try-it dish. As for my Lechon Kawali, I was a bit shocked that I only get 5 slices with the proportion of their rice serving. Though it is fried rice, given that you can eat it on its own, was still a disappointment. Another disappointment was how salty it was. I couldn’t imagine how much soy sauce went into making this dish but I’m guessing it’s enough to give your body a run for its money.

Before we ate, I took one more picture of Boo as he made a joke out of his iced tea.

[eat... eat... and ate some more...]

Since he brought most of his stuff for our little plan for tonight, I had to bring it home first so we could get through the day not carrying the big paper bag known as his things :).

When he received a call from Lyra, a friend of his, saying that she was at Nepo Mall, he wanted me to meet her, so we did.

She asked if we already ate, and though we said yes, she insisted on eating again which I think was very sweet of her. So even if I was uber full with what we had at Jack’s, I fed myself more with some Pancit Palabok and pineapple juice.

That’s Ms. Lyra on the right and fashion guru, boo, on the left ahihi

By this time, I may be smiling but I am bloated!

So we roamed the mall thrice after dining at Jollibee and frankly, it didn’t take us that long to do that.

When Lyra had to go somewhere, I decided to finally give Boo the haircut he needed before we go to Zola. I promised myself that was the place I’d be taking him since I could really tell how much he misses it. But since the day was young, I took him to City Mall to buy him a special something something as my monthsary gift to him.

The night finally arrived and we were starving! We couldn’t say Zola faster!

Zola! Zola! Voila!

We arrived and I’d have to say, it was NOISY! The place was packed with people and I’d have to say, they’re a hit!

…to be continued

A hot spot hits Dagupan and we are ready to conquer!

After hearing about this frenzy from Boo (Hugz) from the time we met, it has finally arrived last night and sadly, I wasn’t there! Yes, the infamous Zola opened last night and everyone who’s anyone was there. The weather wasn’t cooperating and I had no one to go there with, even Alain, since I am out of cash (as usual).

With this great news comes another.

I was just informed yesterday by the school coordinator that I was chosen (among the few) to be the master of ceremonies at La Salette’s 2008 Capping Ceremonies this July 11, 2008. And to my surprise, my English teacher who I had several arguments with during class was the one who recommended me. Talk about loving your enemies! Kidding!

Maybe the night after the Capping ceremonies I’ll be inviting Boo and some friends to check out the place and give you the inch-to-inch details.

I thought this whole Daisy’s Visit series would never end. But sadly, it is ending now.

So let’s get it started.

The night was still young and I had the craziest idea after seeing the fabulous blankets Ayessa brought out. Every gay guy knows what to do when life gives you blankets — you make Greek outfits!

Now I know the outfits we’re intended for girls, but I just know I looked the best!

Ayessa: Girl, there were no faux hawks when the Greeks ruled!

Me: They just didn’t had clay back then. But I’m pretty sure this was a hit.

Daisy: There’s another mosquito about to land, and I’m running out of Off spray.

Laugh. Blank. Wondering.

Right after our Greek pictorial, we headed to bed and decided to call it a day.

The next morning, we woke up to Ayessa’s alarm clock because she had to go to work by 9am. So we prepped up without taking a bath, put on different outfits which gave us our last chance to camwhore as a foursome.

Nothing could be better for a background than a building under construction.

Starting from the left: Great Smile, Sort of Smile, Toooo Much Smile, Good Smile.

The incredible tandem of Daisy, Remcyl, Alain, and Ayessa.

I’m pretty sad that Daisy’s visit finally had to come to an end. I wish there was more time to hangout, but she had other plans which we understand.

I enjoyed every minute she was with us, and I, in behalf of both Alain and Ayessa, are surely going to miss you Daisy!

See you on your next vay-kay!

The long hours of waiting for our dear friend Ayessa finally came to an end as we picked her up at her office after working like a horse for the whole day.

Her house was a long ride from the main city so we had the chance to catch up on each other as the cab drove the dark streets.

When we arrived at her place, we immediately watched her play which none of us (Me, Alain, and Daisy) got the chance to see, Beauty and the Beast The Musical. I think I was the only one paying attention since Alain was busy worrying about his board exam results, while Daisy was in the middle of a horrible headache. Well anyways, after the show, we finally got the chance to capture our short time as a four girl group. LOL.

Click! Flick! Click!
