Welcome Party for Masaki

Last sunday, September 26, we attended Masaki's Welcome Party at Jollibee Cherry Fooderama Branch.

Masaki is Pia's son. Pia is a highschool classmate of mine at La Consolacion College Caloocan.

Nag roam na agad ang anak ko checking out some party hats and paper mats ....

Isa ako sa tinawag ni Pia to participate in one of the games, hip hip hurray. Kasama ko si bff Peachy and Jack na naging kaklase din ni Pia like me. Sinabihan ko nga si Peachy na wag syang tatawa kasi matatangal ako agad. Mahina kasi ako sa mga bagay na dapat may koordinasyon. Sinuwerte lang ako ng bahagya kaya 1st runner up ako, hehe. Ang prize ko? maliit na brats na coin bank para kay Marianna.

Enjoy kami ni Marianna. Umiyak lang si Marianna nung lumapit si Jollibee sa kanya. Naku pano kaya to sa sabado e sa Jollibee din party nya.....

 Masaya kasi nagkita kita kaming mag kakaklase with our kids. 

Thank you Pia for inviting me and Marianna. Hope to see you again soon pag nagbakasyon ulit kayo dito sa Pinas.

CONTIS

Last saturday before going home from Marianna's gymboree class at Trinoma, I asked hubby if we could pass by Contis to buy a slice of their famous Mango Bravo.

We bought some Chicken pies (Php 25.00/ea), a slice of Mango Bravo (Php 120.00/slice) and half a box of their assorted pastries (Php 150.00)

Assorted Pastries

All of these taste good. I particularly like the marbled brownies.

A slice of Mango Bravo.

Now I know it does taste good.

Even hubby liked this.

I hope we can try some of their dishes the next time we go there but another slice of Mango Bravo will definitely be on our menu again.

PB & CO.

Last saturday, hubby and I went to SM North Edsa to buy something and we had our snack at PB & CO.

Inaya ko sya dito kasi di pa ko nakakain dito and I have seen many reviews about this resto and it does seem interesting.

We ordered soda float each ( Php120/ea) and root beer to go with it (Php 45/ea)

I think the cup has 2 big scoops of vanila ice cream

Our rootbeer float/dessert

I had "Elvis the King" half sandwich (Php 85.00)

Toasted sandwich with crunchy peanutbutter, bananas and bacon

This is very filling. Parang bitin pero nakakabusog din and I can very much make this sandwich at home.





Fish Diablo Pasta

Hubby had me taste this. This has their Chilli peanut butter on it.

Mark find this a little too spicy. Kaya nga diablo e, hehe. He should have ordered devil kung meron that would have been not too spicy. haha.

Our Bill

I find this dine in experience as OK.

Peanut butter in everything is not an everyday thing for me.

Another Terno for Me and Marianna

Bought this at Kids of Bayo last Friday when Hubby and I met at Robinsons Manila.

Im looking forward to wear this at Masaki's Party this Sunday

Marianna's New Shirt

I can't resist buying this for Marianna

(Ang umangal masasaktan, haha)

First Date since Hubby came Back ...

Last friday, Hubby and I met up at Robinsons Place Manila after work.

This was our formal "date" ,without Marianna, after he arrived from ship work.

We had our dinner at Gumbo. His choice and I also let him choose what we would eat.

And since he loves seafood, particularly shrimps, we ended up having below menu.

Jumpin Shrimps and Peel (Cajun style)

Seafood Lasagna

Berry Lemonade  

My date. Pa cute as always ... hehe

All was fairly good. A little pricey but reasonable in taste and servings.

We don't go here quite often but when we do, we usually enjoy the food kahit pa iba iba order namin everytime we dine here.

Attending Leila's 1st bday Party

Last sunday, 12 Sept 2010, we attended Leila's first bday party. Pamangkin ko si Leila, anak ng pinsan kong si Let let at inaanak naman ni Mark sa binyag.

Family picture muna as we were about to go to Leila's Party

Mommy and Marianna wearing our terno Blouse bought at Osh kosh :-)

Napaaga kami ng dating and as you can see, empty tables and chairs pa ang background ng anak ko. May videoke kaya ayan si Marianna. Hinawakan agad ang mike at humuni huni na.

Ayan may mga ibang bisita na din. Nag iikot na ang anak ko at nag uusisa sa mga ibang bata.

May mga clowns at mabuti naman di natakot si Marianna. Di na din sya umiiyak pag maingay kaya tamang tama naman pag sa party na nya ma eenjoy na din nya. Last year na "ondoy" 1st birthday party ni Marianna kaya im very much hoping and praying that it won't happen again this year sa 2nd birthday Party nya.
Ay naku wala man lang kaming picture nung birthday celebrant. Cute pa naman ni Leila kasi naka pink outfit at may fairy wings pa.



Daddy is Here!

Hubby arrived 1am last 07 September 2010. Grabe inumaga na kami ni Marianna pag iintay sa Daddy nya. At nag pakapagod sya kakaikot, tulog tuloy ang bata nung dumating si Mark.

Tuesday the same day, we went to Trinoma para makapag gymboree si Marianna. Binilhan na din sya ng Daddy nya ng new shoes, Chuck taylor na Red.

Gymboree play time of Daddy and Marianna

We had our snack at Burger King, parang last year nung bagong dating si Mark sa BK din kami unang kumain when we went to the mall ...

Ayan at extra pa din ang kamay ni Daddy sa picture namin ni Marianna .... 

Miss na miss ni Daddy spending time with us kaya we have more together time again bago ulit nya kailangan umalis for work

Fruitti Yogurt

My office mate, Mam Grace (we call each one as Mam and Sir in our office) and I went to Cash and Carry last Friday to check out some stuff after eating our baon lunches. 

Naaya ko sya to try some froyo in this stand.

Frozen Fruits you can choose from to mix with the Froyo

Their choices of toppings (Php 10 per additional topping)

We did choose the Fruitti Yogurt Blend. One fruit of your choice in a small cup for Php 75.00

This is my Blueberry Fruitti Yogurt Blend. Masarap. 

Yung kay Mam Grace Strawberry, medyo maaslim lang pero yummy din.

Naging addik ako sa Froyo dahil kay Peachy pero di naman ako nagsisisi kasi yummy naman talaga, not to mention healthy pa. I'll choose froyo over ice cream anytime of day. :-)

Lunch at Terriyaki Boy

Last thursday, lunch out kami nung 4 na kasama ko sa office and we went to Terriyaki Boy sa Cash and Carry dito sa Makati.

Mixed Seafoods Bento - Misu Soup, Kani Salad, Bean Sprouts, Rice, Seafood teppanyaki and Coffee Jelly for dessert. At Php 300.00 including iced tea, sulit na din at masarap at sobrang nakakabusog naman.

May Froyo na din sila! Kakaiba kasi may mga Japanese toppings sila. Hope to try this someday. Sobrang busog na kasi ako di na ko nakapag Froyo after our Meal.

I look forward to lunch outs lalo na medyo nakaka pagod sa work nitong mga nakakaraan na weeks. I think we do deserve to reward ourselves with yummy treats once in a while.

Banapple Pies and Cheesecakes

Last monday Peachy, Riza and I went to Il Terrazo Mall at Timog at dinayo talaga namin tong Banapple. They brought their kids at usapan talaga isasama ko si Marianna di ko nga lang naisama at medyo di ok ang panahon nung araw na yun at sinisipon yung anak ko.

We were there a little early and waited until 11:30 pero ang dami ng tao! Pag akyat mo ng mall, pansin mo agad yung Banapple kasi nandun karamihan nung mga tao having their lunch.

Mouth drooling Cakes

Ang daming choices! Mahihirapan ka pumili sa dami. I bet lahat masarap :-)

Yummy Pastries

We ordered the following for our lunch:

Baked Cheezy Penne for me

Grabe ang dami nito! I had more than half of this order to go at kinain ko pa yung tira for dinner.

Lasagna Roll ups for Rizza

Pesto for Ykaie

Tocilog for Jeffrey

2 nut caramel cheese cake for me

Crunchy strawberry cheesecake for Peachy

Apple Crumble dessert ni Rizza

Nice smile Rizza! Nun lang kami nag meet ni Rizza though Peachy.

Happy to have added you to my list of friends Rizza!

Peachy Had Pork scallopini for lunch. Di nya naman nakain yung rice. Lumiit na ang bituka ni BFF because of her SBD, hehe.

Ykaie (Peachy's Daughter) and Jeffrey (Rizza's Youngest) at the fountain at Il Terrazo Mall

Ayan ang anak ko, inaabot yung uwi kong pastries from Banapple. Bumili ako ng savory chicken pie na binigay ko kay Mama. Savory cheese and mushroom pie tska Orange poppy seed muffin. Lahat masarap. Sulit na for 65 pesos each.

Prices were reasonable at sulit naman. Malaki servings nila at lahat naman ng natikman ko ay masarap. We'll definitely go back there. Padating na din naman si Mark at gusto ko sya ayain dun. Sila naman ni Marianna ang date ko.

Here are my brunch mates entry sa bonding namin na ito : Simple Mom Rizza for Rizza's Entry and Blowing Peach Kisses for Peachy. Nung nabasa ko yung entry nila napaisip ako kung pareho kami ng kinainan. Kung ano ano kasi ipinangalan ko dun sa mga inorder namin e. Ha ha.

Excited na ko to see you again amigas sa ating susunod na gastronomical adventure! sana sama na si Ate Anney!
