Kuya Andrew, Ria, Winston, and Blogie A few weeks ago, I blogged my Christmas Wishlist which included this... Last Monday, I received an SMS from the owners of Lachi's, Mike and Melvin Aviles, inviting me and three of my friends to eat dinner there. So last night, Kuya Andrew, Blogie, Winston, and I trooped over to Lachi's. It was Winston and Blogie's first time there, while Kuya and I have been there countless times. First, we all had our main course... Grilled Porkchop, Unforgettable Pork Ribs, Stuffed Chicken, Lechon Kawali, Laing Then, we enjoyed these and more... New York Style Cheesecake with Blueberry and Cherry Topping Strawberry Shortcake Creme Brulee Cake Everything was YUMMMMYYYYY!!! Thanks to Mike and Melvin Aviles for granting one of my wishes. Inggit kayo? Visit Lachi's along Ruby Street, in Marfori Heights, Davao City.

Upcoming: The Usual Suspects Visit Lachi's
Today I received this SMS message: Hi. Somebody sent us your Christmas wish list. It's quite tall, but we hope to fulfill at least one item. You and three of your family members/friends are invited to a dinner at the newly renovated Lachi's, preferably on Tuesday. Thank you. That really woke me up from my sleepiness because Lachi's is like you know my FAVORITEST restaurant here in Davao City. The message was from Mike Aviles, one of the two proprietors of Lachi's. The other is Melvin, his twin brother. Every year, I receive a nice gift from them. This one, I decided to share with the other members of The Usual Suspects. I invited Kuya Andrew, Blogie, and Winston to come with me tomorrow to taste and enjoy the wonderful food served by Lachi's. Hopefully, we will enjoy the experience.
My Christmas Wishlist
Of course I want peace, serenity, and contentment and all those other altruistic things. Here are some more attainable things I would like to have this Christmas: Any black bag big enough to for all my things to fit in. It should be sturdy enough because this is a bag that I will be bringing to work everyday. A Moleskine Red Diary so I could keep track of all my appointments, deadlines, and other important dates. Any iPod model. I want to have an iPod for all those boring monotonous days and nights I spend staring at my stark ceiling and to keep me company while I work. A Sony Cybershot Camera Phone, or any good camera phone that I can use for blogging purposes so that I wouldn't be too dependent on other people's cameras anymore. A gym membership. LOL! This would really force me to shape up. A free class at the Center for Asian Culinary Studies here in Davao City. Free meal at Lachi's, De Bonte Koe, Tsuru, Swiss Deli, and all the other yummy restaurants here in Davao City. A vacation in Palawan or Boracay. Comfortable Havaianas in metallic silver or gold. And for less materialistic…
Feeling Celebrity at the Mindanao Bloggers Summit
See this... photo by Charles A lot of people (boys to be exact) asked for my autograph after the Mindanao Bloggers Summit. Is it because of my alluring smile? LOL! Just kidding... Nope, it's because I was doing this during lunch time... photo by Jun I was handing out the yummy free lunch by Dimsum Diner. Oh, and here's another photo of me with a fan... JUST KIDDING! That's me with Winston the volunteer. {PST! Pasalubong from Brunei and Indonesia ha.}

Baking Class Day 2
It was another tiring day as Kuya Andrew and I attended the second (and final day) of our Bread Making Class in CACS Davao. This time we had an easier time baking and finished earlier but it was still very stressful. Kuya baked Blueberry Bread and Whole Wheat Pan de Sal. I baked Walnut Loaf and Cuban Bread. Other breads that were baked were Olive Bread, Fig Bread, and Potato Bread. Chef Jun jun made dip which was perfect with the breads. YUM! I'll post the photos taken by Kuya and more info about this experience in the coming days. :D
