my life, my joy, my dreams
Last New Year weekend was a blast. Both families (Mabalays and Techos) welcomed 2016 at our home in Bacoor. Our house may be tiny but it sure rose up to the challenge of accommodating all 11 of us. I’m happy to report that we were able to move around and sleep comfortably despite the limited space. Haha.
Prior to Media Noche, I hosted a dinner for my godchildren and other friends on the 30th. (Two years ago, I hosted a tea party naman and my godchildren loved it.)
Last weekend passed by so swiftly. Before I knew it, it was already time to go back to work. The hubby and I spent most of Saturday in Manila and the entire Sunday in Bacoor. We had lots of time with each other and I even got to squeeze a date with Mame into our schedule.
Below are the highlights of our weekend:

Last weekend was packed and fun-filled. Truly, the holiday season is here!
Half of our Saturday was spent in Makati watching the awesome musical The Bridges of Madison County at RCBC Plaza, enjoying dinner at Backyard Kitchen + Brew in Circuit Makati (our first time there), and checking out the dancing lights at the festive Ayala Triangle Gardens. The hubby and I were with my sister Jodie and my SIL Albie and we had lots of fun.

How did you spend your APEC holidays? May it be by getting stuck in traffic, chilling out with friends, working in the office, being out on travel, or resting at home, I hope you managed to have fun and look at the bright side of things. As for me, I worked until Thursday and had a long weekend highlighted by a Marikina food trip with the hubby and his high school barkada whose company I always enjoy.
I had long wanted to go on a food trip in Marikina. Finally, it came true last Friday night. Though we only got to visit one restaurant, it was still a good experience in itself. Next time, we plan to check out the popular Lilac St. there. I can’t wait!

Last weekend was tiring but fun. The hubby and I, along with my SIL Albie and our good friend Melay, paid a visit to the Shrine of the Our Lady of the Holy Rosary in Manaoag, Pangasinan on Saturday. We then spent Saturday and Sunday nights at home in Bacoor.
My brother also met with us on Sunday so we could accompany him in purchasing a new laptop at SM Southmall. We bought some needed stuff for ourselves as well. All three of us would go back to Manila early morning of Monday.

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.
