[Group Events] F2F31: A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens | July 26, Saturday, 2PM | Cab Cafe, Kapitolyo, Pasig
I have no idea (or cannot remember, since it was years when I food-tripped along Kapitolyo) what the cafe caters. Perhaps they offer a wine of some sort? :)
ELLA: Let me check this. I thought I saw a selection of beer (Stella Artois is what I remember, but there are others). I worked for a French boss and he gifted me with red and white wine. Been chilling in the fridge for a while now. Will check with the cafe guys if we can bring in wine.
I know the place. I'll check this within next week.
SHEENA: Hi! If you're too far from Pasig, maybe you can join us for the online film showing? We'll post the details so watch out for it :)
Okay, Doc. Will post tomorrow. Medyo busy lang this week sa office :)

#repostHi everyone!
On July 25, we'll be having an online screening of the 1935 film adaptation for Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities. We hope you could join us!

Thank you, and I hope you can watch along with us :)
HOW TO GET TO THE F2F VENUE:From EDSA/Shaw: Ride a Pasig-bound jeepney and get off at Bgy. Kapitolyo (there’s a BPI at at the corner beside Mercury Drug). You can either:
1. Walk
From BPI, the venue is just two corners away from the main gate. Just walk the stretch of West Capitol Drive on the left side of the road until you reach Café Juanita. On the next corner turn left at Ramen Cool. Walk past Ninak and 3 Sisters. When you see Charlie’s on your right, Cab Café is right after it.
2. Ride a tricycle
When you enter the main gate, look for Andok’s on the right side of the road. There’s a tricycle queue just a few steps away. Ask manong driver to take you to Cab Café beside Charlie’s.
From Taguig: From Bagong Ilog, ride a Quiapo-bound jeepney/FX and get off at Capitol Commons across Bgy. Kapitolyo. Follow steps above.
From Ortigas/Rizal: The JRC/Crossing-bound jeepneys from Taytay/Binangonan/Antipolo pass by Shaw Blvd. so you can get off at Capitol Commons and follow instructions above.
Pag ba bumaba ng MRT-Shaw may jeep din dun Pasig-bound? Thanks :)
GAY: Yes:) sa may Chowking across Shangri-La.
Congratulations, Ycel and DC! Fun, Fun, Fun!
Congrats Ycel and DC! It was super rainy but super fun. Titili na lang ang Team London, haha! #VioletGuava
Thank you so much for the great discussion, everyone! You made Dickens sound super intense. :D
Yay, P. Ycel and DC! Love the discussion (kahit nai-stress ako sa pagtaas ng mga kamay nina Ronnie at Kristel, haha!)! Woot, Team Paris! \m/
P.S. We want the shirt!
Congrats Madame DC Defarge and P. Ycel! Great discussion about Sydney. Hahaha.And Team London FTW! :P
Team Paris rocks! #purpleovenbrowniesftw
Team London, sigaw na! #DoubleGuillotine
I still feel the adrenalin rush from the nginig of those papers waiting to be raised together with the syncronized shrieks of Team London bwahahahahaha.Congrats to DC and Ycel for a marvelous discussion! Even if I was stressed with the question - "Is Darnay worthy of Carton's sacrifice?"
For those who wanted to see The Rant's comment... mwehehehehe soon. ;)
I enjoyed everything. It was so fun meeting you guys again. And I am proud because I read the unabridged classic version of the book. I still have the lingering feels of the rolling cheeseballs from book 2, chapter 13: A Fellow of No Delicacy. Mwahahahahaha
Awww, guys! Thank you ever so much for reading ATO2C and indulging your mods. It was great seeing you passionately rant/question/criticize the story. May bonus pang history lesson :) If one day you trod the streets of London and Paris, I hope you remember this book and Sydney Carton.Super thanks to DC for coming to the rescue when July discussion/F2F was threatened to be cancelled. Always great collaborating with you :)
And if you want the shirt, just post your size here. DC wore medium yesterday, I wore small.
Being absent for a while really made me realize how much I missed you guys. Kudos to Ycel and DC! Incorrigible eh?
Congratulations, DC and Ycel! I'm sorry I wasn't able to attend. ang galing nung ginawa ni DC na knitting with our names :))
Even though I wasn't able to go, (You know I wanted to be there) I know that it was a fun discussion. Congrats Ycel and DC. :)
Ycel: XS? Haha. Small should be fine also. :D
Thank you everyone for coming! To those who weren't able to come, we reserved some goodies for you :)For those who are interested about the mod shirt (click on this link for photos! (view spoiler) ), it costs P250 to have it made. Ycel was a small, I was a medium. Sizes are XS, S, M, L, XL :)
Here's the knitting register :) (view spoiler)
Also..
Ycel: Pleasure to collaborate with you too. Thanks for all the coffees, ideas, and general kwentuhan. Sa uulitin!
Ella: Na-stress kami sa'yo, haha.
Monique: Cool and calm, pero you brought your team to victory, hurrah!
Marie: Haha, marami ka ng game ideas, ha ;)
Louize: Mag-2 hour lunch tayo sometime :D
Angus: #VioletGuava FTW xD
Ronnie: Dislike = unflavored potato chips, haha.
Ranee: Kahit kalahati lang natapos ng book, nakabigay punto pa rin sa rounds! Haha, good job!
Gwaxa: Ikaw lang yata nakapunit nung papel, ha. Haha, excitement!
Kristel: Thanks for all the additional references! Very helpful to the discussion :D
To all who participated in the discussion one way or another: Thanks, and I hope to see you guys again soon :)
Maybe at Marie's Erica Jong discussion on August 16? :D
Congrats to you both! See you in the next discussion! :-D
MARIE:Thanks! Good luck and have fun on the August read :)
DC:
There's an order for small shirt, one each for Meliza and Tin :)
Siguro kasya sakin ang large? Order din ako
So far, the orders for the shirt are:Monique: XS
Gwaxa: XS
Meliza: S
Tin: S
Ranee: L
Angus: S (men' size)
Ella: S
Marie: L
Ycel: S
Note that it's P250 per shirt. I can have these handed over at the next F2F, or mailed (in Tin's case - unless she's coming to an F2F too any time soon, oooh :o)
DC: I'll take Tin's shirt for her. I'll give her payment too. :)
Meliza wrote: "DC: I'll take Tin's shirt for her. I'll give her payment too. :)"All right, I'll also hand over hers to you when we meet :)
Small - Men for me! BTW, is there a black shirt for this? Then white print?
Uuuy, I like the white on black idea! :D MadameDefarge, how do we pay nga pala? :)
Angus, I was telling Ycel about that, black shirt with white print! Gusto ko nun
Kung merong white on black, gusto ko rin sana ng isa. :-)
Hi guys!Eek, sorry, ngayon ko lang nakita messages niyo.
Let me check with the supplier if pwede. I'm thinking it might cost more than P250 if it's a white print on a black shirt, but I'll let you all know ASAP (like hopefully next week) :)
Also updated list to include Angus, Ella and Marie. (Marie, what size? Kung pareho nung akin, medium ako.)
As for payment: It can be COD, or bank deposit :) Haha :D
@DC, umm, large ang size ko malamang. :-P
Hi everybody,Just an update on the black shirt / white print. I asked the supplier, and it's still at P250 :) Here's a sample image of what I sent off:
Nevertheless, I'm having a sample shirt made just to be sure it would turn out right. I'll post pics once I get it.
I hope to get the shirts printed before the upcoming F2F this August, so you guys can just ready payment by then :)
