Weekend Story: New Foodie Discoveries + Cooking Experiments

Last weekend started early and felt longer than usual. The hubby and I had dinner with our Cebu-based friends on Friday night in Alabang and we went home in Bacoor right after.

I had two new foodie discoveries in Alabang: Kulinarya Experience or KXP (where our group had dinner) and Café Seol Hwa (where we had coffee and desserts). Both are located at Commerce Center. They don’t just serve good food, but they also have fast service.

Weekend Story: Bad Weather, Good Company

How are you, dearies? (Oh diba, feeling maraming readers lang, hahaha!) I hope you guys are safe and coping just fine to the effects of typhoon Lando. Kakatamad pumasok sa work, noh? Haaaaay…

Last weekend was okay. The hubby and I drove home in Bacoor on Saturday afternoon right after attending his classes (his last for this sem, yey!). We dealt with the bad weather calmly and went on to enjoy each other’s company at home.

Weekend Story: SIL’s Visit + Neil’s Kitchen in Alabang

My one and only SIL Albie joined us last weekend in Bacoor. She said she wanted to try this resto in Alabang famous for its gourmet food. I knew she was referring to Neil’s Kitchen and because the hubby and I wanted to try it also, we agreed to spend the weekend together.

We drove home in Bacoor on Saturday afternoon right after having lunch at The Patio, the new restaurant of La Cocina de Tita Moning (LCDTM). As the name suggests, it’s located at the patio area of the property where LCDTM stands. It’s actually the affordable version of LCDTM catering to students and yuppies around the area.

Weekend Story: 2015 Feast Day of St. Michael the Archangel + Other Stuff

Last weekend was spent here in Manila in observance of the 2015 Feast Day of St. Michael the Archangel. In short, naki-fiesta kami! Not at our neighbors’ houses but just at my in-laws’ and at my siblings’ homes. Haha.

While Mame cooked Pinoy style spaghetti and lumpiang Shanghai, my MIL whipped up pork and chicken adobo and buko salad. They sent their respective “handa” to each other and so we were able to eat a lot of food. Knowing my MIL, had she not gone to work last Sunday (when the actual feast day fell), she would have cooked more food.

Weekend Story: #PippoDay 2015

It’s that time of the year again. Instead of feeling sad, we chose to feel happy. It may not be easy, but it can be done. Thanks to our family for serving as our strong support system. Remembering the third birth/death anniv of our angel son turned out to be memorable, and even fun.

Since it was a long weekend, the hubby and I made the most of our time, invidually and together. On Friday, I had a long lunch with my blogger friends at New Orleans BGC. We tried the resto’s new menu which left us so stuffed. Among the many dishes we had the opportunity to enjoy, my fave would be the Creole Shrimps, the Southern Fried Chicken Skin, and the Buffalo Chicken Wings.

Weekend Story: Enjoying Our Time Together

Last weekend was a bit busy. We had no house guests this time. It was just the hubby and I so we made sure to enjoy our time together.

We drove to Bacoor on Saturday afternoon. On our way home, we stopped by S&R-Aseana Baclaran to grab a quick bite and to check if Centrum (the multivitamin) was on sale. Seeing that it was discounted (Php1,100 from Php1,499.95), we didn’t hesitate to get a pack. It contains two plastic containers with the big one having 365 tablets and a small one (this seems like a bonus container) with 60 tablets inside.
