ADVENTURES OF THE RECENT PAST – PART 2a

pasko sa pilipinas

christmas 2008 ROCKED. family, friends, food … food … food and a whole month away from the winter wonderland. what more could one ask for? oh yeah, ate and claude …


almost picture perfect without the corres


friends from high school, veolia water and southville international school


palabok, buko pandan, lechong manok, maja blanca, puto bungbong (mmmmmmmmm), inihaw na bangus with toyo-calamansi, nilagang baka, bibingka (mmmmmmmm), kare-kare with bagoong. i had to induce selective amnesia on my south beach diet lol. thanks to alma, my sis-in-law, who made sure i "stuck" to healthy eating ... brown rice, chicken kare-kare, low-salt-low-fat dishes.



a visit to UP naming mahal (beloved university of the philippines diliman) to submit my application at the open university … me covering the upper part of maslow’s hierarchy of needs … after devouring all those puto bungbong’s and bibingka’s, indeed, the physiological needs had been met :-)

Hi Jenni,

Sounds like you had a heavenly vacation with family, friends and food. South Beach Diet be damned - bring on the pancit bihons and rice anything.

By the way, this may be shallow but nice hair!

and wait a sec - is that...karaoke?

thanks for the hair comment, joanne. (batting eyelashes)

and yes, that's a karaoke joint called 'red box' located in greenbelt, makati.
