city of smiles

the lunch at the office in iloilo is always a highlight for me. montelibano always does good food. i don't care if its almost the same thing year after year. i'm so easy ;)

met up with my cousins there. chit chat over lechon. ana cutting in line with us not far behind. i was so hungry! i don't eat breakfast when i travel because i still get car sick so i'm basically grumpy when i get to iloilo.

so glad to see a cousin in one piece after what happened to him last saturday. hay naku.. what a mess that would have made. thank God!

abuelita was making bola ting and she just has this very tarsa look whenever she does it. something about ting's P1,000 earrings naman. so funny but you have to see it to know what i mean. hopefully one of these days i can get a picture of her with that look. so priceless!

was rushing our way to bacolod because kel was so kulit nagid! pero he has his reasons man ;) so even though the wind was blowing hard and my mom warning us not to go to bacolod that day nalang... well, kel owes us big time!

had dinner at italia. been a while since we ate there. the oysters and steak was soooo good! its always good there so not a bad first meal back in bacolod. jen, kel and tin came by to join us.

saw marimon at east block with her "wares". there was a bazaar there gali so it was fun talking to her and buying her popcorn. soo good! but you really have to refrigerate it. marimon distributes the brand chef tony's in bacolod, apparently.

kel and jen slept over and we finally called it a day around 2am.

happy birthday, mom!

mom's birthday started out really, really slow. i wake up at 6:30 regardless of what i did the night before and its times like these that it really irritates me. i still wanna sleep but my mind starts racing about things that just frustrates me. haha its a curse.

did some chores. came over late for lunch and found out that it wasn't just us. i completely forgot that we were already having visitors over.

malou and richard brought over sophie. cutie! more pics of her soon. there' like a baby boom as far as i'm concerned. babies.. babies... and more babies. hehe

so happy to be able to doze off in the afternoon for a few minutes. got to see old faces and new ones at the party. the food was good as always.

one thing i can say about my weekend in general... one door closes, 4 just opened up. i am not gonna complain. :)

so happy to be going back again next weekend! wuhu!
