It's that time of the year again when the air is cool (making me sick most of the time), annoying Christmas songs are played everywhere, Christmas decors are sold everywhere, and the entire town is decked in red, green, silver, gold, and bright lights. It's already December 14, less than two weeks before Christmas, and I have yet to really feel the Christmas spirit. Prolly because I'm too engrossed in work, emo-ness, and other grown-up things. When I was a kid, as early as November or sometimes even October I would already feel giddy and excited for Christmas to arrive. Mommy, my aunt, would make her own Christmas decors such as wreaths, felt poinsettia flowers, and garlands. Me and my cousins would spend an entire day decorating the entire house, especially the gaudy plastic Christmas tree which was the only kind of Christmas tree back then. Sometimes, after dinner, we would stay beneath the Christmas tree and just listen to Christmas songs. Back then, there was no cable TV to take up our time. And of course, our favorite task for the season would be making our wishlists for Santa Claus. Mommy would then collect our lists, and leave it…

P37 Lunch at Hanoi!
Me and Winston (pasmado si Kuya waiter) I just came from lunch with Winston at Hanoi Vietnamese Restaurant (actually I slept after lunch coz I have a headache but whatev!). We only paid PhP 37 for the Pomelo Salad, Bo Luc Lac, Chicken Curry, Pandan Jelly with Coconut Milk, Durian Pie, and Black Jelly with Coconut. Ang mura no? Just kidding! We paid only P37 because we used the PhP1,000 gift certificate that Blogie gave to Jayvee, and Jayvee gave to us. LABO! It was a delicious meal which I enjoyed very, very much!!! Photos courtesy of Winston. :D Hanoi is located along Camus Street in Davao City.

Kuya Andrew, Ria, Winston, and Blogie A few weeks ago, I blogged my Christmas Wishlist which included this...

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.
