Club Mwah Egyptian Birthday Bash

The glitzy Club Mwah became a veritable den of iniquity on July 18, 2005 with the Egyptian themed birthday bash of Robert Blancaflor.

Before we go any further, may I digress a little bit by admitting, shame-facedly, that I had no idea that the term mwah referred to a kiss? Whenever people sent me a SMS with a mwah I thought they were wailing in some form of protest or something. I think it’s the ‘ah’ part. I envisioned it could only be said as a long keening wail. But then it may be argued that such an assumption would be out of context of the sent SMS. What can I say? I can only blame it on an overactive imagination.

Ayala Guard’s Helpful Attitude (Eye)

Lining up for the Harry Potter book in the early morning of July 16, 2005 was tiring work, so I wanted a stack of pancakes. Not knowing where Pancake House was in Greenbelt, I asked one of the Ayala guards where it was and whether it was open at 7:30am.

Kenny Rogers Stubborn Counter Girl (Ire)

In the late evening of July 19, 2005, I rushed to the Kenny Rogers branch in Shoemart Cubao to grab some takeout dinner. After perusing the menu intently (I haven’t gone to Kenny Rogers in a while) I went over to the girl behind the glass counter to give my order. When she learned it was take-out, she instructed me to go straight to the cashier at the very end.

Yoshinoya Hair (Ire)

When I ate lunch at Yoshinoya Megamall last 15 July 2005, I discovered, to my dismay, a short strand of hair in my chicken teriyaki rice bowl. Upon informing the manager, Ms. Cecilia Manese, of the incident, she hurriedly apologized and offered me two choices. The choice of replacement was not a surprise. However, the offer of a refund was. Usually, that is not given as an option in other food outlets.

I appreciated the second choice so much I opted to take the first choice–the replacement. Why? My freedom to choose was respected, therefore, such establishments should be supported. Plus, the manager herself delivered my food and apologized profusely again. Nice touch.
