Barcino, Fort:                Bev Tiu’s Birthday

Embassy, Fort:                Alvin Aguilar’s Birthday

I still felt so tired from our company outing Thursday to Friday in Calatagan but it was still a packed Saturday schedule that was ahead of me.  Iron Man, which I thoroughly enjoyed, was better than I expected.  I didn’t think Robert Downey Jr. (much that I love him) was the right cast as the superhero, but his fit the character perfectly with his usual cocky demeanor. 

After a power nap at home, we headed straight to Barcino at the Fort.  Barcino is located right beside the fairly new Basilio restaurant.  We had wine and cheese to celebrate Bev’s 26^th birthday.  Bev Tiu is Christian’s long time friend, whose aura is of an easy and delightful soul.  Behind those gentle eyes though is an adventurous girl who dives, surfs and tours the world.  (Looking forward to diving or surfing together Bev!)  It was my first time at Barcino, which is a small 2-storey wine restaurant.  Their tapas were a good match to the wines (I was tipsy to remember the name) that were served and reasonably priced.  I especially like Datiles con Bacon, which was sweet dates wrapped with bacon (PHP 270 for 6 pieces).

After Barcino, off we went to Embassy for Alvin’s birthday.  I almost didn’t make it because I threw up twice before leaving Barcino.  I think I had too much wine or maybe it was the tobacco (Cheryl, Ryan and Bev were puffing) that made me feel nauseated.  We even bumped into Trina, Christian’s former officemate in Asia Brewery, in Embassy.
