ManikaManila's Blind Date Valentine Meet

Last Saturday, I attended ManikaManila's annual Valentine Meet, which was held in Balkan Restaurant, Makati. This wasn't our usual kind of meet though, where we just sat, ate and talked with each other. Instead, we got our dolls paired up by drawing lots!

There were ice breaker questions which  our dolls "answered" to get to know their dates better. Of course, things got interesting. As usual, I'll let the photos do the talking. XD

Incomplete grou shot! We took this late in the day so there were several who went home already.

Blair got paired up with her good pal, Christopher.
(This awesome garden table set is from The 5th Atelier)

And Miette got paired up with Windrette (back shot for now, but you'll see her later)!

WARNING: IMAGE HEAVY POST AHEAD!

MY LUNCH.  STUFFED PJESKLAVICA! IT IS THE MOST AMAZING THING EVER. EVER EVER EVER!

It's a good thing they got paired up together. No awkwardness, plus Christopher can do sign language!

Windy and Miette hit it right off with their mutual penchant for sweets and mayhem!

Poor Windy always lost to Miette in Rock, Paper, Scissors! XD

Here are the other participants of the meet: First off, sweet Ave with her date,  the gorgeous Zita.

Handsome Datu and pretty Aeris

Stunning Mariposa and Li

Ugh I love this guy so much. LAKAN! <333

As I was going around taking photos, this happened!!! O_O Dae and Miette have never gotten along EVER.

I dont' know why anyone thought it was a good idea to let them near each other. XD

Good thing Blair and Violet broke it up quickly. ^^

Afterwards, Demi and I took Windy and Miette out for fresh air. ^o^

Meanwhile, Blair and Christopher continued their lovely (BUT STRICTLY FRIENDLY) chat. 8D

My friend Nick and I split this delicious but super rich lamb stew. It was yummy but we couldn't finish it. :(

Finally, a photo of these two pretty girls together! Blair and Bituin are both mute.  ^u^

Obligatory MSD shot!

Aaaaand obligatory human+doll shot! 'Til next meet! ^o^/
