Despite the signal # 2 over Metro Manila, our shower party for Kim pushed through. There was no rain, but the wind was a bit strong. I was hoping that the rest of the day will stay that way. I arrived 10 minutes earlier in Galleria so I went straight to Starbucks and bought a cup of toffee nut latte. The Honoree (Kim) saw me as I got off the escalator and we headed to our meeting place (Gloria Jeans). Maya emerge for the basement of the coffee shop fresh from the shower of Gold's Gym (which was right below the shop). While waiting for Rachel, updated each other with the latest chikas and we briefed Kim on what to expect.. of course we lied and told her that we hired some macho dancer to give her a lap dance...hehehe!
We left the cafe around 11:30am and we're already running late, so we cancel our plan to do some shopping at Rustan's annual sale (we also couldn't find the freakin' building)so we decided to get lunch. We really didn't plan were to eat... i guess we wanted to be spontaneous and feel where our taste buds will lead us. Since we're already in Makati, we decided to go to Rockwell and start from there. We walked the whole stretch of restaurants but couldn't decided. In the end we stopped at press. where the food was good and price friendly according to Maya.
While waiting for our orders, Kim opened our gifts and giggled as she read each of our gift notes to her. We're glad she loved all our gifts and good thing that we didn't give her anything that she already got from the other bridal shower that was given to her. Of course pictures where taken to preserve the moment and her non-stop smile and laughter. Soon our food arrived. The highly recommended OMM (onions, mushrooms mozzarella) was a sure winner.I ordered pumpkin cream soup which was very savory and pasta. After the hearty meal, Maya and I agreed to buy havaianas since we don't own one yet. But after scouting from different stores and checking out different designs, I was not convince that I have found "IT" ~ the havaianas that were made for my feet. In the end, Rachel, who already got a pair... left the Chocolate Clothing store toting a shopping bag (havaianas inside).
After finding Maya's car (we got lost at the parking lot because we were searching the car at the wrong side of the building..haha!)we headed to our surprise for the bride.. an afternoon at the spa and a free shiatsu massage. Kim was placed on the hot seat when we were in the jacuzzi asking questions that we not dare to ask in any other place or occasion. We had an hour of relaxing massage to end our day. Amidst the storm, I'm glad this bonding day con bridal shower pushed through. And delighted that our bride enjoyed her last weekend with us as a single woman.
