pao's last official duty + end of compre celeb! from 4byforce to 77

to celebrate pao’s last official day of duty at the hospital (i can’t believe he’s done!), as well as the last leg of his compre (short for comprehensive exams which the interns have to pass in order for them to graduate on time...God, i hope he passes!), we decided to have a few celebratory drinks after dinner. after much thought, with the help of marge’s text, asking us where we were, we opted to head to 4byforce along gilmore to meet up with her and aina.

to those who’ve always wondered what the place along the right side of gilmore is that causes constant traffic going north (i.e. if you’re from ortigas or greenhills and you’re headed to aurora or espana via gilmore), the al fresco bar/restaurant is called 4byforce.

nothing spectacular, really, but it's a good place to just chill out with friends. and seeing marge and aina's always good :)

while we didn't order any food here that night, i do remember that the bacon-wrapped asparagus was way yummy. for tonight though, it was just drinks for everyone. a san mig light for both pao and marge, a wengweng for me and hot tea (go figure!) for aina. a short while later, pao's roomate rey joined us. considering that they're roomates, i think this was the first time i've been out with pao where we were with rey (not counting the lunches and dinners). random thought.

eventually, marge and aina had to leave. luckily, pao's roomate rey, joined us and a short while later, we decided to transfer to 77, another nearby watering hole which we frequent more regularly and where we know more people. always good. we didn't stay long though, both of us were from duty. haha. still, no matter how tired i am, i always love spending downtime with pao. he really is the best. :)
