Teriyaki Boy!

We went to Greenhills for the day to check out the tiange and for some more shopping!!! Unfortunately, we got there a bit early, so we had to wait for a while for the shops to open.

After buying some books(for me), some transformer toys (for Frankie) and Caaars for Migs, we had an early lunch at a favourite place - Teriyaki Boy! Our 'feast' - YUMMMY!

Siempre, in our excitement, we ordered a lot - japanese rice, kani salad, tempura and the specialty, teriyaki chicken!

Someone's hungry....(hindi halata)

even Miggy ate a lot - Good boy!
Mmmm, ang sarap!

Frank, totally enjoying his purchases...

Look, same teeth ni Mater. A very busog and happy family!

An eventful Sunday.

Sunday is a day of hearing mass ang yummy, yummy breakfast and yummy kakanins (local rice cakes)! And the super delectable small shrimps in gata. In short, we had a really satisfying breakfast!
Nes, sad kasi she can't eat the shrimps because she can't drink her anti-allergy because she still nursing Danni. wawa man.

In the afternoon, I played with my cousin, Jose Emmanuel or Yemmy for short. We had a lot of fun playing with different toys...
What do you think?

Wonder what this sounds like?!
Yemmy, having a go too!
Sabi nga sa Sesame Street, Co-operation gets things done!


In the evening, Papa came home from his weeklong conference from Beijing!

Welcome Home Papay!

Pinoy PIzza

While taking a break from shopping at G4, we decided to have merienda at the food court, and after looking through a million options, we opted for Greenwich's Pinoy Pizza! It was Suppper delicious! As in! yum, yum, yum! Sayang nga, dapat daw may longanisa chunks pa, pero naubos na daw.
MIggy had chips....but after a taste, he loved it too.

Greenhills!

The next day, we went to Greenhills for some SHOPPING!

MIggy, talagang anak ni Frank & Marel!

We came home with some suman latik bongbongs but no purchases... Frank saved that for another day, but that's another story....

Visiting Lolo Dombie and Lola Marilou

The next day, we visited Lolo Dombie and Lola Marilou's crypt at Christ the King church.
Posing with my Mama& Papa after praying.

It was really nice seeing them together at last - there was a nice bunch of flowers and even a small note from Tito Matt left from Father's Day.




After visiting Lolo & Lola, we went to Megamall for some shopping and some eating....

Sharing a BIG smile with Jollibee!
Cheering after the yummy merienda! Yay Jollibee!!!

Hallo Philippines!!!

We're back!!! It really is So good to be back home! To be surrounded by family, friends and all the beautiful atmosphere of Christmas is more than we can ever ask for. Lucky, lucky, lucky! Thanks of course to Papy & Mim for their super gracious gift!

I guess our feelings are summed up by an article I just read in a newspaper here - "That being a resident of both Manila & Sydney is like having two friends. Both of them can be fun, yet moody & even downright depressing at times. But they have their individual charms as well. Sydney offers its own beauty, and While Manila can be melodramatic & tragic more often because of its hosts of problems, it IS still home with its warmth & exploding gaiety, especially at Christmas time."
