June 2005, Manila

short visit to the beloved homeland of 'double Z' from guam...

after the slurrpilicious dinner with some heart-attack-dishes which nobody couldn't have refused (picture: crispy sisig, kare-kare, grilled seafood, laing, crispy pata, etc etc), ZZ distributed more calories for everybody like there was no tomorrow (picture: boxes and jars of choco-macademia, loads of pistachio nuts, etc etc), while the Ways & Means committee provided (again!) giveaways to the attendees and induced more excitement (thereby allowing those needed sweat for the girls to slightly shed down calories and fats taken earlier)...

next stop was at Chef & Brewer in Ortigas where everyone had a few drinks while listening to the band, Time & A Half (who, incidentally, did music from our era in one of their sets)...

finally, at 1:30am, it's time to go, and so the last shot for the road was taken...

many thanks to LR for the photos, Gerry's Grill for the discount (aside from allowing us to violate some rules of behavior as usual), and Time & A Half for singing a few of the group's requests...
