Tina (tinamats) | 2665 comments Hello guys! Sorry if this thread is a bit late. I was kind of busy last week. Anyway, here we go!



F2F17: Smaller and Smaller Circles by FH Batacan
May 19, 2013, Sunday
2:00-5:00pm
Pages Deli, Shangrila Mall

The venue is at the ground floor of Shangrila, near Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. It's a bit small, but we have reserved the inside of the restaurant for the discussion.

Also, it's a very bookish place! Here are some blog posts about it:

* let's eat: pages deli
* Pages Deli: The Way to Every Bookworm's Heart

There is a Php 5000 consumable for the reservation, so we can have late lunch there or something siguro?

Will send invite in a few minutes!

Event invite sent!

Ranee | 1902 comments I've seen the place, quite small but cozy. The have an excellent selection of cheese! Hehe.
For directions, it's right outside, along via Mare/ previous Agave site. They have no sign outside so be on a lookout for red garden umbrellas that have the name Pages on them. It's right beside a german resto. So there. (Pretty much got lost because there was no signage when I went there)

Angus (angusmiranda) | 4337 comments I think we have to get early there so that we can ask the staff to arrange the chairs for maximum efficiency. As Doc mentioned, it's a small. I think a crowd of 20 will be a lot for its size.

Monique (attymonique) | 2130 comments It looks like we won't have to worry about space. It's going to be a cozy discussion. Parang 1984 lang. ;)

Tina (tinamats) | 2665 comments Helloooo!

Visited the venue last weekend to confirm the reservation and dun tayo sa loob. They will try to fix the tables daw, pero medyo masikip ata if they do it...so if ever, they're just closing the inside of the store for us, and we can just fix our chairs para mas madali tayo magka-usap. :)

Yes, chill and cozy discussion this weekend nga! :) See you guys. :D

message 11: by Ranee (new)

Ranee | 1902 comments Dun nga. Second resto after coffee bean. Ala pa silang signage last time i was there. Pero their glass window has a quote from breakfast and tiffany's and you can't miss the red umbrellas with the word "pages" written on them.

Congrats, Charles! It's a lively discussion. And thank you Ms. Ronnie for the coaster! :)

AennA (aennabanana) | 536 comments Monique: Patagilid at pailalim ba tumingin? hahah! Kailangan kasi di gumalaw masyado para di halata. Kaya ayun tuloy. :)))

And, in character lang! :D


message 22: by Tina (new)

Tina (tinamats) | 2665 comments Thanks again, Charles! And also to everyone who joined the discussion, online and offline. :) I had a great time, as always.

Gusto ko sana maging killer sa game, though! Haha. :D


message 23: by Angus (new)

Angus (angusmiranda) | 4337 comments Congrats and thank you, Charles. It was a surprisingly fun and informative discussion. And namiss kong maglaro nung killer/mafia game (mas masaya kapag may drinks, hihi). We hope to see you soon? :)

Oo nga pala, was the chef inviting us again for another book discussion at Pages?


message 24: by Tina (new)

Tina (tinamats) | 2665 comments Angus: yes, he was! Gusto daw nila yun. :D I have their card; I think we can have that as another go-to place kung kelangan natin ng venue. :) (Although mag-iipon muna. Kasi medyo pricey ang food nila. ^^ )


message 25: by Angus (new)

Angus (angusmiranda) | 4337 comments Tina: Oo nga eh, haha. Nasira ang budget ko for this week, hihi. So they didn't mind the noise (?) or the rearranging of tables and chairs? Maybe if any of the books in their menu becomes a book of the month, then we already have a venue for strong consideration!


message 26: by Aaron Vincent (new)

Aaron Vincent (aaronvincent) | 2053 comments Because they have a Shakespeare menu maybe we can do a Shakespearean month? Hehe
