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! =)

August 2010:Jewel's Homecoming

My dear friend, Jewel, went home last August 4, 2010. Together with Cris, MJ and Ronin; we ate out at Sizzlin' Pepper Steak,Glorietta 5 and had coffee at Seattle's Best,Greenbelt. I had fun chatting with them, reminiscing the old times, laughing out to Cris' gymnastics stories and many more. Below are the photos of our foodies at Sizzlin' Pepper Steak, sorry I forgot the names of the foods.

And lastly, our desserts at Seattle's Best Coffee

To summarize this memorable event, I made this collage:

Dinner with my family

Looking at these photos makes me smile. It is indeed a sweet memory with my family. I remember my mom's laughter, my 2 super kulit pamangkins, my uncle and of course my dearest howe. These photos were taken last June 20, 2010 at Zhu Restaurant, Fort Bonifacio. We were having dinner after we visited Saint Monique Valais. Oh, I remember, it was Father's day.. I wish my dad was there.

Jajan's 5th Birthday

Yesterday is Jajan's 5th Birthday. I remember when I was in Singapore (last week, July 3 to 10) my mom told me that Jajan was looking for me. He kept on saying to my mom "Nasaan na si tita? baket ang tagal tagal niya naman umuwi? dapat umuwi na sya". Hearing those stories from my mom made me felt sad coz I miss home too.. i miss the kids., i miss my mom.. and i miss my howe. So when I arrived last July 10, Jajan hugged me so tightly and said "tita baket ang tagal tagal mo umuwi? Birthday ko na tomorrow.. where is my gift?". Aha! that's the reason why he kept on looking for me..hahaha! My pasalubong for him was a spiderman pencil case that was his request. He immediatley transferred his pencils from his old pencil case to the new one.. and said "ang ganda ng pencil case tita". His birthday came and I told him that we will watch Toy Story 3 in 3D at IMAX. Me and my howe treated out the kids. Going home, I saw from Jajan's eyes how happy and enjoyed he was. Well, all of us enjoyed Toy Story 3 but I'm happy with what I witness in my pamangkin's eyes.. genuine happiness from a kid. :)
