Confessions of Martin Gonzales

Part I – Northern Adventure (December 1-3, 2006)

Matthew, Arnold, Jim, Brad, and I decided to spend the long weekend in Baguio. Too bad Henry and Vincent weren’t able to make it because of some duties and responsibilities they need to attend to. Anyway, we departed Manila Thursday night, and arrived in Baguio just after five and a half hours. Brrrr…. so cold!

We had a blast for 3 days and 2 nights of staying in Baguio. We went to Burnham Park, Session Road, Baguio Cathedral, Pizza Volante, SM Baguio, Baguio Market, Nevada Square, and Malebox in Irisan (Gay bar, hehe).

Part II – Sabiclub.com’s New Home (December 9, 2006)

Our company moved to a new, bigger, and better office space. From the well-known RCBC Plaza, we transferred to Aguirre Building, just a 2-storey commercial space along H.V. Dela Costa. Our new space is like three times bigger than we had before. We mobilized everything… computers, refrigerator, microwave, cabinets, sofa, etc. Anyway, after all the hard work, Sir Dong treated us to dinner at Ara, a Korean Restaurant nearby.

Part III – Italianis Experience (December 16, 2006)

Arnold, Esh, Henry, and I had dinner at Italianis GB2. So yummy yet expensive. Every bite counts, hehe.

Part IV – Sabiclub.com’s Christmas Party (December 22, 2006)

We had our Christmas Party at the Pool Area of Salcedo Park Condominium, just a few steps from our new office. Actually, I thought we won’t be having any Christmas Party since we just transferred to our new home and the management won’t have the time to organize a party for us. But luckily, they did. We had our dinner and followed by a series of games prepared by our very own Jane Chua. The night ended early for us four: Carlo, Yssah, Camille, and I. So we decided to spend the rest of the night at Seattle’s Best Coffee GB3. We went home at around 1:00AM.

Part V – Christmas Eve (December 24, 2006)

It was already 11:00PM when I started to prepare for Noche Buena. Our dinner table was filled with Spaghetti, Fried Chicken, Hotdog, Ham, and Fruit Salad. At 2:00AM, Vincent and I visited his friends Nelson and Dennis at their place in Evangelista, Makati. We went home at around 5:00AM.

Part VI – Christmas Day (December 25, 2006)

I woke up at around 12:00PM. It is a family custom for us to go to Mausoleum where my grandfather and grandmother (mother’s side) were buried on special occasions like this. We prayed for their souls and feasted the left-overs from our Noche Buena. At around 7:00PM, Vincent and I went to SM Mall of Asia to watch the movie “Kasal, Kasali, Kasalo” starred by Ryan Agoncillo and Judy Ann Santos. It is a perfect movie for couples. We went home afterwards.

Part VII – The Temple Visit (December 28, 2006)

This day is a special day for Vincent and I. We went to Temple GB2 and had some pasta and tofu. We strolled around Greenbelt and went home after an hour.

Part VIII – New Year’s Eve (December 31, 2006)

While waiting for the twelve O’Clock, I decided to open my cabinet and threw all the unnecessary since it is the last day of the year and we have to welcome the new year right. At around 2:00AM, Vincent and I went to Malate with his friends. We spend the rest of the night with them and went home by 7:00AM already.

Part IX – New Year’s Day (January 1, 2007)

Since we had our pictorial last year, Arnold, Henry, and I decided to do it again this year. But this time, Vincent joined us on our Brokeback Mountain experience. Hehe.
