Their 38th!


Twas my parents' wedding anniversary a few days ago. We were supposed to eat at this new resto somewhere in Greenhills but the place was fully booked on a weekday! Grabe. Then we planned to eat na lang at Boni Highstreet. Kaso umulan bigla. Grabe. So we checked out the restos in the new atrium of Megamall. Ended up at Bigby's (of CamSur origins).


Worth the price. Every single thing we ordered tasted great!

cutest steamer ever


My bro came into our room Tuesday night carrying what seemed to be a steamer in a box. Seoul Sister and I looked at each other, super puzzled. I was thinking to myself, alright, it's a steamer... so what? A few seconds later, this tiny head popped out of the box... then his tiny paws. SOBRANG CUTE, NOH????

People, meet Homer... the newest member of our family!

farm news


Huangcholi and I went to the farm to check out the fruits for an "idea" we've been thinking about for almost two months now. Will tell you what it is soon. Here are some of the fruits. May hula na kayo what the "idea" is?


Mainit na ginataan on a hot summer day. Wow.


The mahjong area is fully furnished already and ready to use. Kaso, masyadong mainit sa loob in the middle of the day. May "greenhouse effect". Hehehe.


Kaya, dito pa rin sila naglaro.


Something new! It's a fishpen in the farmita! Under construction pa, but may mga isda na, and the cottage on top is almost done.


This is one side of the cottage area.


Here's the other side.


Grow up to be yummy tilapia, okay? Here are some of the small fish in the fishpen.


I'm going for an animal theme now. May rally yata ang mga pato. Shot this from a distance coz I got a feeling masama ang tingin nila sa akin eh. Hehehe.


Ilan sa inyo think naging hardboiled na itong mga itlog under the sun? Show of hands, please. Hehehehe.


Poor duckies. Most of them hid na lang in comfy little shelters. Note the sun's rays. Kung puwede lang pahiran ng SPF30 ang mga pato. Hehehe.


Love the rabbits. Hindi naman malamig ang weather, but they are all huddled together in the big cage. Awwww.

pedi na


It was Auntie Lea's birthday yesterday so we all decided to treat her to a sosyal na pedi at this hand and foot spa place in The Podium.


Come to think of it, yesterday was the first time I went to this place without a painful ingrown that needed removing. Hehehe. It is the only time kasi I would allow myself to spend so much money for a pedi -- their staff can actually remove ingrown without me realizing that they got it out already!

choco fruit


First time kong makakita ng cacao. It looks strange, noh? First thing I asked my mom (who got it from the tree itself by "going over the bakod" to the undeveloped lot -- I don't want to label it as trespassing, hehehe -- beside our farmita in Laguna) was how can this thing be the source of my beloved chocolate? So she said, tikman ko daw muna. It kinda tastes like santol. Still, where was the chocolate there? Yung seeds daw. I tried to bite the seeds, thinking that it would taste like chocolate already. Pero siyempre, matigas yung mga buto. Hehehe. Turns out kailangan daw ibilad muna daw sa araw para mag-dry. Then dudurugin daw ang seeds. Dun daw nagsisimula ang paggawa ng chocolate. Ah okay. You learn something new everyday. Hehehe.
