Bennard | 730 comments Hi folks!

Here are the details for our Love in the Time of Cholera F2F:

F2F19: Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
July 27,2013 (Saturday)
3:00PM - 7:00PM
Gayuma ni Maria, Maginhawa St., UP Village, Quezon City

This is a really romantic place, you guys! I opted to not use their function room because the main dining area is more romantic so I juts hope it's not going to be a bit crowded.

Anyway, if you want to read about the place, here's an article from Click The City:

Also, here is the menu(They serve something called "Beats Sex Anyday"):

Finally, here is a map of the area:

As for the directions, I'll post them later (inform me where you're coming from so I can give you specific directions).:)

Bennard | 730 comments Questian, okay lang pero take note na malaki ang possibility na magdiscuss tayo ng medyo adult na themes.:)

bennard, i think easiest way is to ride jeep fr0m mrt quez0n ave. Then alight at phlcoa at magtricycle na lang fr0m there.


message 11: by Bennard (new)

Bennard | 730 comments Cary,oo nga pala. I forgot about the tricycles.:D


message 12: by Cary (new)

Cary (forestercary) | 1370 comments yes the red tricycle!

poor me, never had the time to explore magnhawa area, kaht na isang tumblinG lang ako dun.

Ranee | 1902 comments Kung alam nyo kung paano pumunta sa bookay ukay, basically ganun din. For the commuters, red tricycle in Philcoa, beside ministop.

Monique (attymonique) | 2130 comments Hmm. Kelangan masarap yang "Beats Sex Anyday" dish na yan ah. Pag hindi... >:)

Kailangan ko rin ng kasabay, anyone coming from the west (Manila/Makati) area? :)

Benny, two-way ba yung V. Luna? :)


message 16: by Monique (new)

Monique (attymonique) | 2130 comments ACK. Emir, hindi bagay. :))


message 17: by Mae (new)

Mae (jamaeca) | 330 comments Kailangan ko din ng kasabay. As some of you may know, my sense of direction sucks. XD


message 18: by Questian (new)

Questian (sakurastrife) | 922 comments mag gagaling kmi from manda... and i'm not familiar with the place too...


message 19: by Bennard (new)

Bennard | 730 comments Monique: Yep, I think V. Luna is two-way? what mode of transportation are you using?


message 20: by Bennard (new)

Bennard | 730 comments Guys! Sorry kung wala pang directions kasi di pa kami naguusap ni Rhena. :)


message 21: by Questian (new)

Questian (sakurastrife) | 922 comments hehehehe...we still have one week pa nmn Nard....


message 22: by Ycel (new)

Ycel | 662 comments Looking at the map, it seems the best way is to turn right at Kamias (from Edsa northbound), left at Anonas and right at V. Luna. All other routes seem complicated.

As always, I will have to get one of my ever-reliable cabs. XD I'm thinking I'm going via Quezon Ave-Timog-Edsa-East Ave and then if V. Luna is two-way, right turn na lang ako from East Av. :)


message 24: by Questian (new)

Questian (sakurastrife) | 922 comments if nag bus?


message 25: by Cary (new)

actually, atty. m0nique pde ka din dumiretso na sa quez0n ave, hanggang makalabas sa quez0n city circle then turn sa kalayaan ave at kaliwa sa v luna extension. Yan din kasi usual route ko pag galing manla area.


message 27: by Questian (new)

Questian (sakurastrife) | 922 comments YEah!! mag bus kmi ni nijel!


message 28: by Tina (new)

Tina (tinamats) | 2665 comments Hi guys. Planning carpool again (based sa usapan namin ni Aaron and JL this week, anyway) -- we're meeting up somewhere in Katipunan. Will finalize details next week. If you feel like going to Katipunan and riding with the green car, post na lang! :)


message 29: by Questian (new)

Questian (sakurastrife) | 922 comments sama ako kaso ang layo nga pag gagalingan namin ni nijel....

Angus (angusmiranda) | 4337 comments Hi friends, I might bring a friend with me. She's my office mate and she didn't know that there are book clubs in the Philippines. And she has read LitToC na, so I guess it's okay? She's not (yet) a Goodreads member though.


message 31: by Tina (last edited Jul 24, 2013 10:47PM) (new)

Tina (tinamats) | 2665 comments Angus: yay more new people. Sure thing. Cary's bringing a friend din, I think.

--

CARPOOL!

We're meeting JL at Starbucks Petron Katipunan (map), 2:30pm. This is near Della Strada church. I think from Katipunan LRT station, you can ride a jeep to UP, then go down to Petron, right after Miriam College.

Edited to add: Aaron and I can meet anyone at Ministop in front of the jeepney station along Katipunan (when you go down from LRT, just walk towards Katipunan ave and you'll see that Ministop), then we can ride a jeep together to Petron. (view spoiler)

Carpoolers:
1. Aaron
2. Tina
3. DC

Anyone else? Just holler!


message 32: by Questian (new)

Questian (sakurastrife) | 922 comments I won't be able to join you guys!! sorry!! next time na lang...


message 33: by Ranee (new)

Ranee | 1902 comments I know that petron. Mas madaling makita ang malaking jollibee dyan. it's by the entrance to LaVista-loyola grand villas.


message 34: by Cary (new)

Cary (forestercary) | 1370 comments yes, i'll bring a friend din, all the way from cebu haha. She's a tfg member too, di nga lang active.

Anyway, excited na ko! It's been a while since I last attended the f2f. :)


message 35: by Ranee (new)

Ranee | 1902 comments Guys, you do realize, it is just one day 'til we see each other? Ayii! #Clingy! #takethatFlorentinoandyour51dayschuchu

Tina (tinamats) | 2665 comments Congrats, Bennard and Rhena! :) Great job! Lovely discussion + lovely rainy afternoon and evening. :)

Naaliw pala ako na may mas maingay satin sa Gayuma ni Maria. In fair, akala ko wala na tatalo satin, at partida kumpleto pa ang DC-Mae-Alexa trio nun (at katabi pa nila ako haha). XD

Louize (thepagewalker) | 1831 comments Congratulations, Rhena and Benny.
I was not there; but I know, by heart, it was a success.♥

Aaron Vincent (aaronvincent) | 2053 comments HEH!


message 43: by Bennard (new)

Bennard | 730 comments Thank you for the support, guys! We couldn't have done it without you.:>

Tina: Nakakatuwa si Aaron nung sumisigaw na siya.:D


message 44: by Tina (new)

Tina (tinamats) | 2665 comments Benny: kulang na lang lumabas yung ugat nya sa leeg. XD Hehe!

Emir: I think I saw them bring out some BSA when we were about to leave. So I guess it takes time to make them? :P
