manila in malaysia

during my whole stay in malaysia, i didnt really see a lot of filipinos. maybe only on one or two occasions ... (1) when i heard 2 guys speaking filipino in the shuttle (business travelers too from a different company) and (2) when i saw maybe the lounge singers at the hotel. it was a good thing actually that not many were there, at least for a change...hehehe!

but upon seeing this one restaurant called "manila place", weird, but i got excited on the thought that maybe they serve filipino food / dishes and it's about time for me to share something filipino with my chinese/malaysian brothers. to our dismay, it was just but a mere name. they dont serve anything close or unique to filipinos. oh well ... so we just thought that it would be cool to take our photo with the restaurant's name (even though we dont have plans of eating there). so we asked the server to take our photo. here's the very nice shot:



after taking this cool photo ... we all decided to go for a tea break and then all of us came to a common realization -- that the server from manila place is REALLY CUTE!!! so after tea time, we went back to have another photo, but this time WITH the server. Hahaha!!! it was only i who had the chance to have a photo with her (thanks to HL for taking this photo -- which kinda jammed the path with polite people waiting for him to snap the camera). here's the photo: (notice the people standing on the side - thru the glass' reflection, waiting)



we couldnt get enough of manila place girl so on our last day, we decided to go back to the restaurant, check if she's there, dine and try to get a photo of the 3 of us WITH her. we were successful after HL declined a male server and requested HER to be our server (how cool is how lake?!). we were successful after i mustered the guts to ask for her name (due to confidentiality -- we won't reveal the name here). we were successful after we asked for her favorite desserts and drinks from their menu, which we didnt really order after all the sweet talking. HAHAHAH!!!

here's the successful photo :) (notice their little rascal grins and pose)
