A couple of days ago, Jammi texted me saying that my favorite drink in Bona, the highly popular Kona Mocha is finally back. They have been out of stock of the said drink since NOVEMBER. I went to their BF branch all hyped up and ready to be reunited with my drink again only to have them tell me that they still don't have it (or rather, they have it but have not received the go signal to start serving it yet...huwat?!). So I left with a sad smile, not even bothering to order anything else since my taste buds have been preparing to have a sip of my beloved drink and nothing else can serve as a worthy substitute.
Today, after watching Wanted with the usual people, we went to Bona in Westgate and I ask if they had my drink already. To my delight, they said yes! I tell Niki and Paul and they order the same thing. When my drink arrived I couldn't help but feel a twinge of excitement as I take my first sip in over six months.
PURE HEAVEN! It was as good as I remember it. Bea takes a sip, loves it and requests to have the same, only this time, the barista gives us the worst news. They have, once again, run out of the drink. They only had it on sale for a couple of days and they are out of it, AGAIN! I shrug it off and give up. I have been disappointed way too many times to bother getting upset. At least I had one last drink before I say goodbye to it forever.
I am exhausted from the day's activities. Was unable to sleep at all last night (again!) and went straight to Nasugbu with the girls and Paul without a wink. I slept a little on the way to Batangas and I had a short nap while sun bathing early this afternoon. I was hoping to edit the videos to upload with this post but I just don't have the energy to sort through my footages at the moment. Will do that tomorrow.

Met up with Dex, Alain and Jad after the beach trip to watch Wanted in ATC. Most people who know me know that I absolutely LOVE Angelina Jolie, so naturally, I would love this movie. Every time she was on scene, my eyes would be glued to the screen. I read an article about how the creator of the comic hoped that the movie would not suck and was genuinely surprised that he loved the film adaptation and even noticed that a lot of the scenes were shot in the exact same way that the comic was drawn.
**slight spoiler alert**
Angie aside, I thought the movie was generally good although the first half was a bit slow moving. The part where James McAvoy's character was being trained to become an assassin was dragged on longer than it should have, time which could have been used to show him applying his newly learned skills. Sure, he gets his action scenes in the end, some people may think it to be over the top but the trailers should have told you that already prior to seeing the movie. I loved it and it's safe to say that it's the kind of movie you wouldn't mind seeing again and again.
