Saturday Lunchout with my Family

Last December 11, 2010, me and my family went to Gerry's Grille to eat lunch. It's my Post Birthday Celebration. I planned this a month ago, I  wanted to treat them out  for a change.  We went to Gerry's around 12PM. Good thing there were only a few people when we came in. We ordered Beef Kare-kare, Crispy Pata, Grilled Squid, Gerry's Friend Chicken,  Chopsuey and Pitchers of Iced Tea.

The Beef Kare-kare tasted ok  but I like the version of Max's Resto, much tastier and better in my opinion.

The Crispy Pata is delicioso! I noticed every member of my family asked for this one. This was served hot and crispy. And it's easy to slice/cut.

The Grilled Squid. One of my mom's requests and this is my bf's favorite too.  Catcat said that this is Yummy.. and I agree.

The Chopsuey. We ordered this so we have veggies along side with the Beef  Kare-kare and Crispy Pata. The veggies were fresh and crunchy, it was cooked rightly.

The Gerry's Fried Chicken. Sorry I forgot to take a photo of it. This one is a request from Catcat and Jajan. It comes with French Fries. The two kids enjoyed it. The chicken were crispy and tender. And because of that, Catcat consumed 2 cups of rice.

For the dessert, my bf brought a Strawberry Cheesecake from Contis. It's a birthday cake for me. =) The cake is lovely and sweet to look at. Everyone enjoyed eating this cake. especially the kids. Thank you howe for the cake! ~.~

Below is a photo of my family after the sumptuous lunch. Everyone has a great smiles! =)

My Birthday Cakes

 I had two Cakes on my BIrthday last December 9, 2010. First, from Starbucks, I bought a slice of Cake and a Praline Mocha Frap for myself..  celebrating alone.. I'm just joking.. hahaha! :P

The second Cake is courtesy of my LCMS Team. We went to Balay ni Juan to celebrate with the teams' December Birthday Celebrants namely Leslie, Sir Jem, Jo, Tonichi, and me. It was also a Send-off Party for Alreen who will be joining a new company on the 16th of December. We had a great time at Balay ni Juan, lots of food and drink, singing and dancing.. it's like a mini -concert! I really had fun! Celebrating my birthday with you guys is great! Another memorable moment to cherish because it's not usual for me to celebrate my birthday with friends. I'm contented eating at home with my family. Thank you guys!  ~.~

 

Also, I would like to thank my Howe, Friends and Teammates for helping me out to complete my Starbucks sticker card. I already got my very First Starbucks Planner in Silver. Thank you ulit!!!

Teamwork = 1 week Starbucks Coffee

My Team Lead will treat the Cloud Delivery-M3 Apps team for a 1 week Starbucks Coffee.. yippee! The story behind that treat is..last July 29,2010, one of the leads organized a dinner-videoke night for July 30,2010 at Balay ni Juan, Pasig . They observed that not all the members will come to the event. So our PM emailed the team and our team lead replied back if everyone is coming he will treat the team for the whole week at Starbucks. His 3 conditions are:

1. Join the event
2. Drink Beer
3. Sing a song

Because there's TEAMWORK in our team, everyone decided to go to the said event. My team lead was surprised when he saw that all the members were present. I couldn't describe his facial expressions during those times. We even took a few photos for evidence.. ahahahaha! Cruel teammates! Anyhow, the videoke night was a blast! Everyone is laughing, singing, enjoying the mini videoke party and the foods were great. By the way, my team lead sung the song "Malayo pa ang Umaga" theme song of ABS-CBN teleserye Agua Bendita.. ahahaha!

Thanks to TEAMWORK.

Thanks to my Team lead for the treat.. you're so generous! :D

So my dialogue for this whole week is:

"1 Tall Caramel Macchiato, Decaf, please".

Or I might try some other drinks. ;D

Gifts

I would just like to thank my howe for giving me these wonderful gifts.
