Oh, what bittersweet night

Junette was the first to post most of these pictures in her Multiply page. Oh well. I'm posting them here, what the heck. Even if they're days late.

As I promised a few days ago in an earlier post, here are some photos taken during Venus's goodbye treat.



First, we ate at Colasa's for dinner. It was the first time for Bimbo and Sheila to eat there. The rest of us -- well, let's just say that we're already more than familiar with the restaurant's small floor area size and shabby restrooms. But Colasa's bulalo (definitely a must-have) and pork barbecue make up for those small things.



And being such sore misers we all are, we proceeded to Aruego's, that small videoke place near Kalye Juan and Heaven and Eggs. Where beer costs only P40 and song P5. Haha. Beat that, Uncle Scrooge.



Of course, one major downside if you're in Aruego's is that street peddlers frequently bug you and even destroy your beautiful moments caught by the cam by joining in your mandatory group posts. Like the one ogling at Venus (Or was it Junette?) wearing the gray Gap shirt.



Of course, Don began the videoke fest with his signature song. Janno Gibbs, watch out.



Of course, would Bimbo allow himself to be defeated by Don's powerful and jaw-dropping singing skills? F4, I think you lost your fifth member here in Manila.



But of course, the "Star of the Night" award went to Venus, who melted our hearts away with her "I-love-you-but-goodbye" songs.



Melai (left), the newest staffwriter, can't resist singing. Even resident diva Junette (right) sang her blues away that night.



A day before Venus's treat, Ma'am Melinda treated the staff with two sinfully delightful cakes. Since most of us have such weird tastes, eating the cake meant we have to buy liters of cola.



I am really not into sweets, but this one is definitely a winner. Just looking at the photo makes me salivate like an askal would.
