new year, old friends

Last night's "couples" dinner at Uva. It seems perfect to open the New Year with such great company and to-die-for food. I mean, Chocnut ice cream is one thing but those tilapia fillets.. I died. It was so darn good I couldn't believe it was just tilapia.

Anyway, last night turned out to be a reunion of sorts because the mares (that's me, Nica, Allotte and Binky) barely see each other due to our hectic schedules. Hmmm. Let me rephrase that. Binky, Nica and I see each other regularly but (if few and far between) Allotte's a little more difficult to be with as she has to work when the rest of us are free. Alls is a singer, you see, and Nica is a theater actress (tama ba, mare?), while Binks is a med student. Since I work a lot, it's natural that our schedules conflict.

Scheduling aside, last night was so much fun because we didn't have an excuse NOT to be there. Allotte has recently returned from Japan (Miss P. Okinawa bwahahaha) and so has dear Reg. It was fun to laugh and just be with each other, and I ended up laughing so hard my mascara ran. The raccoon eyes were worth it though, if just for the company.
