march babies

Weeeehhhh it's July already! Soon is my birthday! But before that, allow me to post some photos taken during the birthday bash of the March babies. :D


Guess who the birthday celebrators are! Hahaha! :P

Tres Amigos

pic is blurred, but this is chicken!
'chicken inasal' as how Ilonggos would call it
In Cebu, if we say 'inasal', we mean 'lechon baboy'. Lechon baboy is cooked by grilling a whole pig with its stomache filled with all those condiments. The innocent pig (hehe) after being slaughtered and cleaned is inserted (what's a better term for this?) with a bamboo from its mouth down to the butt part (haha again, any better term??) then the bamboo is rolled over heating charcoal. Lechon is one of Cebu's famous delicacies. A celebration is not complete without a lechon especially on fiestas. In Bacolod, friends told me that they have their version of 'inasal'. What they have is chicken inasal, not pork inasal (pig inasal doesn't seem to sound right). They say our version of chicken inasal is not quite good as theirs.

Last night, we went to Tres Amigos, a simple cheap kiosk something located in the streets of Lapulapu City. It is owned by some folks from Bacolod so they sure serve their famous chicken inasal. Well then, their grilled chicken is tasty. I think it's more sapid than how we Cebuanos cook chicken bbq.

dinner in Bigby's

I met two of my girl friends, Macelle and Melody, last night in Ayala Mall at around 7:30pm. We then ate dinner in Bigby's, Melody's treat for us. She will be leaving for Michigan tomorrow and will be away for 6 months or so. Happy trip mi amiga y kumare. May the force be with you! LOL! Don't forget our 'pasalubong' eh! :D

i'm not a vege fan, but i eat sometimes

but of course, my pink soda drink

My first time to be back in this restaurant after it was renovated. Not sure of the changes made?

reunion

Beginning of January this year was started with little reunions with former officemates. It was really nice seeing them again...

BBQ Station in Panagdait with Vaning and Digoy and their twin

in AAs BBQ in AS Fortuna with Ate Rach
Hope to see them again soon... they're all in Singapore now.

Ailyn's despidida

My so called "buddy" in the office left already. She has resigned but is still working here in Cebu so we still see each other sometimes. We had her despidida last May 16. You see, all my entries are backtracked. I wish i could post them right there and then.

We had dinner in Tong's in Marina Mall. It's an eat-all-you-can restaurant which is famous for its abundant baked 'Talaba' or mussels. What i like is the abundant 'lechon kawali' and shrimps if available.

Here are some photos.


We went to Paseo after...

taoist temple

Ahuh! Really, we didn't agree on what to wear. It just happened we wore the same thing - pedal shorts, open toe sandals and striped blouse. But we both agree, we are cute! Nyahahaha!!!! :D

sexy baboy

Sexy Baboy. For those of you who understand the word baboy, the phrase is a bit funny or cute right? Baboy is the cebuano dialect for the word pig. And sexy baboy is not just a phrase or an adjective describing a pig. Sexy Baboy in fact is a name of a native restaurant owned by a Korean national. If you happen to know the onwer, correct me if i'm wrong.

After the photoshoot of the pregnant woman last June 15, a week before she gave birth. Me and the 'backgrounders' were hungry and would naturally find a nice place to eat at. Alfer, the photographer, suggested we'd go to Sexy Baboy. I was intrigued so off we went. The place is located in A.S. Fortuna in Mandaue.

looks romantic, felt sleepy looking at the design, makes me want to grab a pillow because of the curtains! hehe!

la tegola

We were supposed to eat at Angelina's in Banilad but was cancelled cause we didn't finish the photo shoot of Lenny that Sunday evening. Then last Sunday, it was almost cancelled because of the typhoon. At about 6:30pm, the rain stopped so we decided to push through with the dinner. It was dark when i went out, total blackout in the neighborhood. Pero basta kumakaon gani sama nako, walay makapugong! We ate at La Tegola Italian Restaurant in Marina Mall. The pregnant woman wasn't around because while we were eating, she's at the hospital giving birth. Heheh! Mangtas nga mga amiga! LOL!

appetizer... didn't eat this, don't like tomatoes that much :P

pizza and spaghetti, my favorite food regardless where i eat
didn't take much pictures, i got shy with the waiters looking at me, lol!

inside the restaurant
amazing, this shot i took was the same shot posted on their flyers which i just noticed later
I really like their pasta and meat dishes. :)

Weekend 2 - June 22, 2008. La Tegola Italian Restaurant - Marina Mall.

the port seafood restaurant

A few of my girl friends and I decided to dine out every or every other weekend (Sundays usually) - just to catch up with each other's lives. We rarely spend time with each other anymore. It's good to just sit down and talk about anything. I hope a lot of the girls will join next time. For our primer, we ate at the Port Seafood Restaurant in Waterfront Lahug last May 25, 2008.

my 3rd plate, lol!
i really forgot to take pics of all the food i ate;)
my favorites 'kakanin' peachy2x and puto kutsinta
i should have taken the carbonara sauce instead of the marinara

me and the pregnant woman :P

Weekend1 - May 25, 2008. The Port Seafood Restaurant, Waterfront Lahug.

Lenny's baby's here!

Just a quick update on my entry Lenny's baby shower. My friend, Lenny, delivered her first baby last Sunday already - no other perfect time to deliver a baby than during a typhoon! She gave birth to dear Baby Samantha in Cebu Doctor's Hospital. She was on labor for just 2 hours. What a record! Sam weighs 6.8 lbs with thick black hair. She sure is a darling. I wanted to nickname her Frankie because of the typhoon's name but i changed my mind. The typhoon brought a lot of distress to hundreds of bereaved family because of the sea tragedy. It's depressing to remember. Oopps, i'm about to shift topic again. Welcome to the world baby Sam!

jonalyna's birthday

My colleague Jonalyna's birthday was on May 7 but she celebrated it with us last May 9 at her humble abode in Consolacion. Her place is quite far but the village is really nice... Here are some photos of us. I forgot to take photos of the yummy food she prepared.

bday celebrator's wearing green sleeveless shirt :P

mga palahubug :D

Lenny's baby shower

I should be posting this event before Lenny delivers her first baby. :P

Last May 04, Charo, Melody and I organized a shower party for our officemate and friend, Lenny. Sintclaire has given birth to her beloved Caleb already. Lenny is about to. Will all of Ritchie's angels become a mother? (Ritchieeee help me! LOL!)

The party was held at the future parents' humble abode in Vistamar. It was still fun even if there were only few of the girls who were able to attend.

i'm not sure what this means, something like welcome? :P

SRP

Are you are from the city and wants to go anywhere South of Cebu? You can escape the traffic from Colon down to Basak to Talisay and can have a better driving experience if you take the SRP route. The road is wider and nicer. You can even go for driving on faster speed. All this time, I have been wondering what does the acronym SRP mean? I finally had a chance to go to Argao and pass through SRP on a broad day light. My question has been answered...



... SRP South Road Properties.
