Manila Day 1

I went GROSSLY overbudget... HUHU! Our flight PR 810 arrived slightly late. And there was this godawful kid on our flight who was crying most of the time. We picked up Winston and Blogie from the Cebu Pacific terminal. We then dropped off our things at Kuya Andrew's house, then went directly to Razon's for some lunch. Kuya and I shared on Pancit Palabok and Sizzling Bulalo. It was alright, I guess. I also had a sylvana. Then, we went back to the house to get some rest. At 7 pm, we were at Serendra at the Fort. VERY! VERY! VERY IMPRESSIVE! I fell in love with Fully Booked. Good thing I had self-control so I didn't buy anything. Kuya, Blogie and I then ate at Brazil! I am sooo regretting that decision. The beef, especially, the beef shank was sooo sinful. :( But I enjoyed it. Until my cousin, Tinky arrived and told us she was going to eat somewhere else since she wasn't in the mood for buffet. That's when madness ensued. We accompanied her to New Orleans where she had clam chowder and clammy pasta. I drank some tea, couple with the Mississipi Mud Cake which has…

CACS Skills Batch 3 Legacy Dinner

I was lucky enough to be invited to the Legacy Dinner of Batch 3 of the Skills Course the Center for Asian Culinary Arts. Aside from getting to eat all those yummy foods they served, I hosted the event. It was a virtually fuss-free gig. :) Oh, you're more interested in the food? While waiting for the buffet to open and the other guests to arrive, I munched on a Foccacia served with Chicken Liver Pate and Confit. I'm a fan of liver pate so I thoroughly enjoyed it. The pate had a nice smooth texture and was very flavorful. The focaccia was nothing extraordinary, but it had olives in it so YEY! They served three types of salads: Ceasar's, Waldorf, and Salad ala Greca. They also had California Maki, Manhattan Maki, Tekka Maki, and Tuna Sashimi, and Salmon Sashimi. I only got to try the sashimis because well, there was just to many people lining up and they ran out of the makis. The sashimis were fresh. The tuna was kinda cold and iced, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. There were two types of pastas and two types of sauces. I had Spaghetti with the Pomodoro with Italian Sausage.…

SUCCESFUL!

I AM SO TIREEED! I slept at around 4 am after worrying about some details for today's wedding. I woke up at 10 am, took a bath, prepared my arsenal, and swiftly left for Mommy's house. Upon arriving, we went to Bliss Salon where I had first dibs at the hair and make up chair. Mommy had to buy a bible first. LOL! My make-up was... dark. It was definitely something new for me. Then, I had my hair ironed but it didn't end up flat. After a while, my other cousins, Mommy, my other cousins, and a niece arrived. After my hair and make up were done, I went to Blu Gre to eat something. Then, I had my nails done. After we all had our new looks... me the gimikera, Marianne and Cha-cha the kontrabidas, and Mae-mae and Paigey the princesses... we went back to Mommy's house to dress up. Did I already say I love my dress? I DO! I love, love, looove my dress by Jon of Limited. When we arrived at the church, we took care of the processional, I read the first reading, took care of the offertory assignments, and took some photos. I…

Sosyal si Manong Driver

My cousin and her family are here on vacation from California. Not familiar with local restaurants, she asked the driver where they could have a meal before they ride the boat to Pearl Farm... Marianne (my cousin): Manong, asa ta pwede mukaon diri dapita? Driver: Maam, sa Swiss Deli! Translation... Marianne: Driver, where can we eat in this area? Driver: Madam, at Swiss Deli! O diba? May living and breathing kapatapat na si Inday!
