Meeting the Main Man...Mr. Market Man =)

Saturday was much anticipated by my friend Didi and I, for it was the night of THE bloggers EB, hosted by no less that THE Market Man himself! We were so glad that we have been accommodated to take part on such an event, to meet and mingle with the people we read and interact with through this awesome virtual medium.

Good thing Didi was able to convince Edi (her beloved) to tag along with us---the more the merrier! They fetched me at Greenhills around 6pm and we took on the saturday night Edsa traffic. Our spirits our unscathed! As we were so excied and we were absolutely confident that Edi would get us to The Fort on time...in no time.....and he did =)

When we got there, we were ushered in by no less than Mr. Marketman himself! Very cordial and very warm =). People around us were chatting along and nibbling on the bruschettas. We made our way to the buffet table....and such a spread it was! Two kinds of pizzas (one with anchovies and the other with black olives), salad with melons wrapped with proscuitto ham, 2 kind of pasta, roast pork and a grand desser buffet that comprised of goodies made and or bought by each and everyone of us.

the salad--I unfortunately was not able to try



this was fresh pasta with mushrooms and olive oil---I loved this =)

There was a wide array of dessert varieties....from native kakanins to cakes and cookies. Major carbo-loading---major sugar overdose! I actually got heart palpitations after having my 2nd plate of dessert! ;) hahahaha

Sugar-high, Didi and I mingled with the other guests. We were able to strike up a conversation with several people there, but most notable for me was meeting Mr. Anton of Our Awesome Planet and his cute baby and charming wife! We even had a little pictorial. Thank you Mr. Anton and family =)

We had a great time at the EB---thank you Mr.MM for hosting such an event!
