Most of the time I write about food but sometimes I design stuff and talk about life in general. I've also been living in Taft for around 8+ years now so check out my posts about the restos and food around Taft. When I'm not eating, I do websites.

Lunch time: I ordered Menudo (P69) and Maja Maize (P15) from Victoria Corazon. Then, I went to a meeting in Makati around four in the afternoon and it went well. Then Makati traffic happened. You can read my experience of it from here: Makati Traffic, Jeepneys, etc.
I went home after the meeting and I thought Friday night was going to be a boring one. I thought I was just going to stay home and watch movies/series. Then Carlo messaged me around 8:30 pm and they wanted to eat at 8065 Bagnet. So we did. We being the usual suspects: Me, Insel, Carlo, Elroy and Frytz. Drinks at McRom’s after dinner. We chilled at Carlo and Elroys place after McRom’s. For the sake of my Project 365, the next post will be just the continuation of this night. :)
Menudo and Maja Maize
While Insel was browsing through the books in the display rack in Bagnet 8065, I noticed an Anito-looking-award. We asked the waitress who’s the owner of the award and she said it was from Kitchie Nadal. So I researched about the connection of Kitchie Nadal and 8065 Bagnet. Turns out, Kitchie Nadal’s brother is the owner of 8065 Bagnet.
Elroy just chillin’ @ 8065 Bagnet
My order: Spicy Ginataang Bagnet. Just like the first time.
The 8065 Bagnet in Leon Guinto was not the original one. The original is located in Estrella St. Makati. If you want to know more about the original place, you can in this post by Clickthecity.com: Bagnet 8065. You can see in one of the pictures a wall full of “vandals”. The Leon Guinto branch have it too and we got a chance to write something in it.
Insel, Carlo and Elroy with the wall of “vandals”
We were trying to find spots that were noticeable. Carlo wrote his message on the ceiling. I wrote mine in the top frame of the doorway. Elroy wrote his on the top left side wall of the doorway. Insel wrote hers on the bottom left wall of the doorway which I don’t have a picture of. (Sorry Insel!)
Carlo wrote, “MASAKIT NA ANG BATOK KO DAHIL SA BAGNET - GONES”
I wrote, “GELOREYES.TUMBLR.COM WAS HERE -> CHECK IT OUT”
I think Elroy wrote, “LROY WAS HERE”
We went to McRoms for the usual Friday night. Do you have any suggestions where to drink near the Taft area? We’re getting bored with McRoms. Central Taft is too far and a bit crowded.
I learned a new term during this evening and the term was: Frape. It’s defined by Urban Dictionary as:
A combination of the words ‘Facebook’ and ‘Rape’. The act of Raping someones Facebook profile when they leave it logged in. Profile pictures, sexuality and interests are commonly changed however fraping can include the poking or messaging of strangers from someone else’s Facebook account.
Carlo was fraped by Elroy during that night. Changed his status to, “I want to eat hotdogs.” Carlo said it was liked by his highschool batchmate that is now gay. hahahaha!
Just chillin’
