so I finally went back to TriNoMa
It was Loraine’s birthday yesterday, and the amigas and I decided to celebrate it in the Trinoma.
Since it was only my second time there and I got there early, I decided to walk the whole mall. Yes, I walked all four floors for an hour just to see what shops they’ve got now. See, my first Trinoma experience was sort of traumatic, and that was partly why I haven’t stepped foot in that place for a while. (That, and I haven’t actually had time to go malling, anyways.)
Well, guess what: I like Trinoma now. Read full post…
Haha! But I think it’s really more convenient for me to go to SM, and I have the stores there pegged, so I prefer that over the newer mall. Ahehe.
The only store I actually entered to look around was (of course) National Bookstore and Fully Booked. I was looking for several Meg Cabot books… Unfortunately the ones available were the Princess Diaries series. -sigh- Sucks. I’ve wanted to get my hands on the Mediator books for ages. Ah, well. The search continues.
When I got back to the first floor, I got me a haircut at David’s, too. (I should’ve stopped to get a Frapp at Starbucks before then. Hmf.)
And then my friends arrived, and we had dinner at Heaven n Eggs… Heeheehee. I had Twinings Mint Tea and Lemon juice, and Egg Sardou. It’s Jerusalem artichokes and shrimp in hollandaise, topped with a poached egg and served on a muffin, with mashed potatoes on the side. Yum.
Heaven ‘n Eggs has delicious food (I got to sample my friends’ orders, too), but the price isn’t…err.. student-friendly. Ahehe. But, hey, I think it’s worth it. Beware, though: the service takes a while. But the crew is very polite and courteous and smiling, so I guess that makes up for it. And, yeah: the food is yummy.
After eating, we had so much fun chatting (we haven’t seen each other in almost 3 months!) that we didn’t notice that it was 10:30pm already. And I was supposed to be at work at 9. @_@
So I went back to Trinoma, and, it went pretty well. Sure, my past frustrations about the place have not been forgotten, but, taking that into account, I gotta say that Trinoma picked its feet up.
And I guess it’s safe to say that I’ll be coming back.
Blue. Stars. Sky. Jazz. Choklit. Pasta. Sashimi. Green tea Frapp. Aroma of coffee. Books. Movies. Fanfics. PC. Google. Mobile phone. Mp3 player. Sleep.
Cockroaches. Shopping. Humidity. Migraines.
I like Trinoma, but I still frequent SM. Primarily because I know where to buy the things I need. But if I’m going to dine out with friends or watch movies, I’ll definitely go to Trinoma. Maybe it’ll change when it’s 100% finished.
Have you tried Aveneto, that Italian place right beside Heaven n Eggs? They serve awesome pizza and pasta.
I saw a lot of Mediator books at Powerbooks Glorietta last weekend…
@nina Yup, I’ve been to A’veneto, just not the Trinoma branch. They have a branch very close to our house, and we used to go there often. ^_^ Hm, I must go to Glorietta then. Haha! Thanks!
Doh, Greenbelt 3, I mean! And I remember buying a couple of Mediator books on sale at Powerbooks Megamall (but that was last year pa)
I love Heaven ‘n Eggs! I like breakfast food, that’s why. A lot of people tell me that their prices are a little steep—I didn’t really think so but I guess I can see how it would be considered steep by students.
I have been going there a lot after work to watch movies. I’m still a little pissed about the layout (I feel like they designed the mall as a maze! You could get lost in there! Ayala’s just really awful about mall layouts, I don’t understand how they do it or what they could’ve been thinking.), but I like that there’s an Ayala-developed mall in that area. It’s really great for people living north of the city.
