Mr. Jones... on 'Valentine's Day'

It's the big V-day tomorrow and my friends and I decided to celebrate early last night. We couldn't have real dates with our loveys, since they are halfway across the world (in my and BS's case) or they are totally non-existent (JL's). More on that on a separate blog..

First stop, Mr. Jones, a new diner-style restaurant at Greenbelt 5. This place has been getting the raves lately and BS suggested we try this out. We came early 'cause we heard the place is always packed. True enough, it was filled to the brim when we got there but lucky for us, there was one table left by the walkway and we took it.

We got the Tater Tots to start - which are fried potato balls with dip, then the Superman, which is a double patty cheeseburger. JL and I shared this.



BS got the famous Tapa Overload - which one friend described as "the best tapsilog I've eaten in my life". After trying it, I can say the same thing... and I've eaten a good amount of tapsilog from all over the Philippines for comparison.




We were so full from all the good food that we shared a chocolate milkshake for dessert, which was also divine.

Next, Valentine's Day the movie. I really had high expectations on this one. I knew this is (somewhat) similar to 'Love Actually' and I'm curious to see how they are gonna play out the interconnecting story lines. I'm no movie critic but V-Day is kind of a mess and just had too much going on. It had some LOL moments though so I was somewhat entertained. But for me, Love Actually is a much better movie. Oh, and we got to see the trailer of the new Sex and the City movie and that was a real treat. :)

Have a great V-day everyone and stay in love! :)
