Oh boy, this is definitely a day to put in the books; something we will forever remember. This day-off was highly anticipated because my good friend Steph asked me and Kath to assist in entertaining her Malaysain/British tourist Aemilia to a true Manila evening experience. Since we all know she was going to be overpowered with Filipino food throughout her trip, I had the idea to bring her to one of my favorite hole-in-the-walls called Min Sok, a nice Korean Restaurant located along Don Pedro Street (Along Kalayaan road near Grilla and P. Burgos, there is a Mini-stop, right beside it is Don Pedro St.), and I highly recommend this place because of the multitudes of Koreans who pass by here; who better to acknowledge great taste than homelanders themselves. We ordered a scrumptious order of Beef and Pork with a little octopus on the side. So with Steph, Aemilia, Kath, Albert and I terribly hungry (Steph and Aemilia arrived late due to their Carlos Celdran tour) we devoured all that was sizzling in front of us. Appetizers kept coming in whilst portions of meat enticed each of us to carefully take it off the grill as so we can just simply shove it into our already craving mouths. After a simple non-dispatched tour to view the red light district, it was time for us to head home and change for a night which turned out to be unforgettable (in the wrong way).

Once we arrived at Resorts World, it was too early for Republiq so we decided to just have a nice conversation and drinks at Opus. Surprisingly we met our other companion Mikki who introduced us to his sister, his very hip father and the girlfriend. After a few drinks we decided it was time to transfer to the ever faithful Republiq for some awesome Top 40 beats and lotsa dancing. Unfortunately for me, the dancing didn't last long as I encountered becoming a victim of a certain violation of private space. To simplify things, I left the rest to continue their evening as Kath and I took charge of the situation and reported the violation to the proper authorities which in turn led to specific confrontations even up to the Police precinct. Let's just say this wasn't a night that went as planned but am ever thankful to my girlfriend who stuck by my side (even if the other party technically admitted his fault yet reasoned out that "this is a club") and we were able to settle the matter amicably.
