The Suite Life with Chachy

I've had great weekends but this is absolutely the best so far. I arrived after midnight last friday. Actually, Chach and Eric picked me up from the KL station (Gracia, WTF, 8 ringgit lang ang fare, why daffak did we pay 120 ringgit for the cabbie before?! That's almost 1,6k php difference)

The Suite Living
I think I failed to mention, he transferred to the Westin and he was living in the executive suite. damnit!!!!! even better than the Ascott. And it was right across the Pavilion, probably one of the most posh malls in KL. So the view from his balcony was Gucci, Hermes, Ermenegildo Zegna, Coach, etc..

The view from his balcony


But wait, the room was just the beginning...

Posh Dining
The posh breakfasts (yes the ones Mrs Bancroft ordered), lunches, dinners and after-parties at nearby hotels and clubs added more glam.

My fave was Qbar at the Westin and dinner at Prime at the Le Meridien. Prime is a fine dining steak restau - like the Fireplace. And holy cow! The burger was probably the best I ever tasted. It's so good it should not have qualified as a burger. Chach said it's like steak on a bun. And for 30$ for a burger, it made sense. I had the-best-ever lobster bisque, superbly tender steak and salmon that melts in your mouth.

Ok before I turn into another boring vacation monologue, I'll make the shift na. Well, the only reason I enjoyed this trip is obviously because of my navy boy. Heller. Don't need common sense to get that one.

My the navy boy and the beach girl
I think this is a fantastic combination. He goes to the gym and I go to the pool, read a book and sun bathe. He meets me after for a quick swim and a late lunch. Syet para kong asawa, this is the life. And oh boy, he swims very gracefully, he used to be in the swim team, go figure, he's in the navy. Either way that would've made him my king triton.

The issue about the walk

Yes he still enjoys arguing with me for every little detail, but that only shows that he's smart, witty and is a very wide reader. I still challenge him and we have cute little fights now. He walks fast I mean, he's 6'2", more than a ruler's length taller than me. I've always complained about that (right gracee?!):
Me: Can't you walk slower?
Him: What can I do I have longer legs
Me: Exactly why it's hard to keep up with you.
Him: What did I tell you about whining?
Me: I'm not whining.
Him: Yes you are.
Me: No I'm not.
me.. walks slowly, intentionally...
Him: What is the problem now?
Me: You walking fast doesn't mean I have to also right?
... haha... I win this bout.. he eventually walks slower as he doesn't have any other choice but to wait for me anyway.

But he's sweet and he's a gentleman (when he wants to be). Even more now than before. He opens doors now and pulls chairs for me. Man! He makes me coffee, heats up bagels and runs off to the convenience store to get me chips while I was doing my movie marathon. If that isn't sweet then I dunno what is. I mean, considering that he's a bad-ass boy. And I think it's just cute that he lies on my lap while watching a phillies game in the poolside bar.

and yeah.. the best thing.. he got me a starbucks city mug.. from his trip last september in hawaii :) ahlovet!

I miss him na graveh! I swear I wanna go to Hawaii!!!!!

Wonderful saturday morning at KL

We went to the Beach club again yesterday... I didn't get too drunk, I didn't fall off the stairs.. haha

This morning I called the operator at the Westin to order room service.

I was greeted by the friendly operator: "Good morning, Mrs Bancroft!"

I was caught off guard but then later played along. He even repeated my order saying: "Mrs Bancroft, you ordered ... blah blah blah" ... haha

I told Chach of course. Haha. And then they called after a few minutes to verify. I was in the restroom so Chach answered.

When I came out, he said: "They just called to confirm that Mrs Bancroft ordered so and so. I just said yeah whatever.

The Leo Girl and the Sagittarius Boy

This is probably your foremost partner physically and mentally. This union will revel in spending, travel and adventure. Quite an exciting connection.

When a Leo first meets a Sagittarius, there is an instant rapport between them. They both admire the similar fire qualities that each possesses finding this equally appealing. Here we have two very out going souls who enjoy laughter and having fun. Each of them can make excellent speakers, instructors, managers, and leaders in there own right. Combined together, you get two lovers of truth, so no holds barred here, for certain.
Leo seeks a mate who is strong enough to keep up their pace, while Sagittarius seeks one who enjoys travel, educational experiences, and one who will be open to their quest for wonderlust adventures. Combine Leo’s sunny disposition with the Sagittarius open-minded attitudes, and you'll find a blend of contented fire signs.

Sagittarius is often attracted to one who is either of a different culture or background other than his/her own. Frequently they experience long-distant relationships, becomes involved with another while traveling. Sagittarius may find a mate through educational pursuits. Leo connects with a mate via a friend’s introduction, a club function, or an unexpected sudden meeting. Take note of how you both first met. It might be fun to review the circumstances surrounding your meeting, and how they may have unfolded from the onset of your relationship.

Since Sagittarius loves the out-doors, and Leo loves sunshine, these two would definitely enjoy fast paced sporting hobbies together. Sagittarius loves to travel, so take your Leo mate to a place like Vegas, which happens to be a Leo city, for casino games, or any type of theater entertainment.

Another common interest or experience shared between Leo and Sagittarius may be that both are interested in schools in one fashion or another. Many Leo’s have been known to work as school teachers, teaching grammar school or high school level. Sagittarius may often teach or train others on the job, lecture at seminars, or conduct adult educational evening classes.

If Leo is waiting for Sagittarius to give their heart to them, it may take a while for Sagittarius to commit. Sagittarius does not want to give up their love of freedom easily, especially in youth, and may feel trapped if committed. So do give them plenty of space without making demands. Leo loves to tease and play, which poses absolutely no problem to a Sagittarius. Remember that Sagittarius invented humor! Notice how Sagittarius is forever cracking light-hearted jokes, always able to find humor in many situations by displaying their quick wit. Sagittarius will be the stand-up comic, while Leo directs the play!

LEO: Loyal, Warm-Hearted, Dramatic, Stubborn
SAGITTARIUS: Truthful, Blunt, Humorous, Restless
