Tricia: moved this to F2F Book Discussions folder!MONDO JUICE! <3 I love that place.
Let me know when you need to send the event invite :)
masarap b dun? ignoranteng question lang po...naku mg iipon n ako...
Hallo, hallo!Since we are having the discussion wearing comic book characters, I am imagining like we are going to hold a dork convention in Makati lol
Anyway, I'd like each one of you to participate this online activity... Guess that Superhero (I know I am so creative!). Just give us a hint about the superhero you will be wearing on the day of discussion. Don't give away too much hint ha! Yey
i'm gonna go japanese.. wahahahahaha.....
Hello, everyone! Event invite will be in your inbox in a few minutes or so. :) Tricia needs the headcount for the game, so please RSVP! :)Edited to add: In case you didn't get an invite...apparently, there is a limit to the number I can send. Haha. Oops. So just in case, we will probably send another one next week. Or just click on the link to the event invite and RSVP. :)
directions please? how far is this from the nearest MRT station? I'm trying to find a way to go attend and leave early then be back in time for HOHOL. hihi.
I just realized how I miss you guys. (insert tears)
Ranee, I can't help you with that because I'm very poor with directions. HeheWhere do we post the Guess the Superhero hint?
Ranee: checked maps and it's sorta near AIM. I want to say walking distance lang from there, but I walk a lot when I'm in Makati, so baka relative ang "walking distance" sating lahat. You can go down ng Ayala siguro and then head for Greenbelt 1 to AIM? Tricia - please post a map/commute directions before the F2F. Salamat! :-)
Also! Kindly post a map going to the venue please, Tricia? Thank you. :)
I will post by tomorrow :)By the way, you can post your hints here!
I changed mine (again): Smiley. With blood.
TRICIA: So we'll post the hints for the Guess the Superhero game here, and then when do we answer? Dito na rin o sa F2F na? :DThis is mine:
One word: Fire. :P
(view spoiler)
We post our guesses here. No answers yet tho hehe
Disqualifying cousin, Tina, and Lolo from guessing mine.Hint 1:
It's not just spy versus spy anymore. The whole world is on the action.
Hint 2:
Not all heroes are super.
guys ask lng how much ang dapt na budget for this...i know, kinda stingy, can't help it...
Budget for what, Questian? Basta with the food orders, dapat P250 and above per head.
HOW TO GO THERE:
COMMUTE From Ayala MRT Station (just follow the RED LINE)
1. From Ayala MRT Station, get off to northbound lane. You will see a SHELL Gas Station there and behind that there are two terminals. One is for the buses going to the Fort, the other one is terminal for jeeps.
(Or you are riding BUS from NORTH (the bus should be Baclaran/ AYALA LRT , get off nalang instead at Makati Stock Exchange building.)
2. Ride jeepney going to Makati with signage of WASHINGTON or RCBC or ZAPOTE/MERALCO.
3. Get off to the unloading station in front of MAKATI STOCK EXCHANGE (Paseo de Roxas).
4. Look for the underpass and go to the other side of the road (there will be a left and right escalator or stairs. Take the one on your right). Once you are back on the road level, walk towards the DELA ROSA street (see map).
5. You will see another intersection, turn RIGHT and walk until you see the signage of RADA ST. (formerly THAILAND ST.). You will pass by 3 streets before Rada.
6. Your landmark for RADA ST. is KFC AND MR DONUT. There is also a MERCURY DRUG at the corner of Rada St.
7. Once you're in Rada St., walk straight ahead and you'll see MONDO JUICE + SIP on your left :)
BY CAR (you can follow the BLUE LINE):
1. You can park at GREENBELT and walk via DELA ROSA WALKWAY (but it is too hot to walk so I don't advice this). INSTEAD,
2. From GREENBELT, drive your way to DELA ROSA until you reach RODRIGUEZ ST. (the street after RADA ST because RADA is a one-way Street). From there drive to the end of Rodriguez and turn left and turn again (left) to RADA St. Drive straight ahead and you'll see MONDO JUICE + SIP on your right.
You can park in front of the store.
SORRY FOR MY MAD MS PAINT SKILLS HAHA
To see the map better and bigger, right click and then view image haha
The Activities:I am still thinking another way to discuss the book with two teams. Bear with me.
(view spoiler)
Tina is Team DC. Haha Ehy do I find that funny? HahahaWala ng palitan ah.
Aaron: I can read your mind all the way from here. Mehhhh XD haha
Hello, checking in again. :)) I will buy my shirt before the end of this week. Haha. Feel ko may makakapareho ako. :p Will think of a clue soon. :) Are we arranging carpool for the weekend btw?
i'm not even sure if a shrit can fit me... hahahaha....jacket is okay? if that jacket is still alive that is....
Question!!! coming from madaluyong, at mga gagaling ako sa Museo ng Makati, how do i get there?
Tina: No carpool for me. It's like going to work for me because it's near our office.
Angus: noted.Questian: Hm, I checked the map and parang malayo yung Makati Museum? Unless you mean Ayala Museum? If you can make your way to Greenbelt, mas madali ata if you're coming there. Tricia posted commute directions na. :)
Not familiar with the place ksi...i suck in direction pa...hehehe i was studying the map, i find myself making kamot of my ulo. from Makati museum kc there are jeeps that will eventualy take me to Makati Stock Exchange. kung tama yung nasa isip ko....wahahahaha...and to the fact that hnd ako pamilyar sa makati area...hahahahahaha
gosh ang layo ko pla talga..wahahaha
Questian: I'm afraid I'm not too familiar with that part of Makati, kung nasan yung museum na sinasabi mo. I would recommend following Tricia's MRT directions since it's straightforward?People from Makati, perhaps you can help Questian? :)
yung black na bilog doon ako mag gagaling....
wahahahaha
And don't forget to print the road map. Siguradong di ka maliligaw. :D
Questian: if it's any comfort, some of us are coming from a further place pa. I live near the bottom of the mountains of Antipolo. :) Alternately, you can join the carpool. We're passing by EDSA, so we can pick you up somewhere there. :)
