Recalling last year’s Father’s Day Celebration, we had a delightful lunch at Kusina Salud. This time, I searched the net and found, Tahanan ni Aling Meding. This is located in San Pablo City and is near Sampalok Lake. This also got good reviews in Our Awesome Planet. When we went there, unfortunately, their restaurant is not open anymore. Their business is open merely for overnight stay and for different functions or events. Ayyyy…nanghinayang ako. Anyway, since the lake is just there, we took some pictures and headed to Max’s restaurant http://ladyviola11.multiply.com/photos/album/48/Celebrating_Fathers_Day Fri, 20 Jun 2008 04:12:20 -0000 HS Barkada Dinner at Superbowl of China Nothing compares to the feeling of being surrounded by true friends…   While me and Elmo were waiting for the others to arrive, I decided to buy at Auntie Anne’s  and eat cinnamon pretzels because I was really hungry na..baby is asking already for food. While paying at the counter, Binoe, texted me to wait for him as he is still doing the laundry… sobrang natawa ako kasi I can’t simply imagine him doing the stuff…what a humble hubby he is!   Then, we checked if AI Season 7 Album was released already but it’s not available yet. So, I decided to search on classical movies and decided to buy Grease 1.  I love collecting classical movies and am quite a late bloomer talga pagdating sa pag-nuod ng mga movies so I’m sort of catching-up.   Last night, we had a despedida dinner for our friend, Totie, who will be leaving next week for Thailand.  His company, Ford, is sending him there for 2 years and we’ll be seeing him again this Christmas for his authorized vacati... http://ladyviola11.multiply.com/journal/item/86/HS_Barkada_Dinner_at_Superbowl_of_China Wed, 18 Jun 2008 04:23:58 -0000 Why do I love Mornings? <img class="alignleft" src="http://images.ladyviola11.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SFMKOAoKCtsAAE-Odho1/morning%20dew.jpg?et=3tPfgPerZjMa3cSFosuWBQ&nmid=0" border="0">It simply connotes a brand new day…a start of a new beginning, a chance to live and a chance to explore….<a href="http://images.google.com.sg/imgres?imgurl=http://www.threeappleshigh.ca/blog/mt-static/images/MorningSun01.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.threeappleshigh.ca/archives/2004/10/morning_sun.html&h=441&w=700&sz=126&hl=en&start=20&um=1&tbnid=nES7vsc_qE9JiM:&tbnh=88&tbnw=140&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dmorning%2Bsun%26ndsp%3D20%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1T4HPAB_enPH268PH270%26sa%3DN"> </a><img class="alignright" height="118" src="http://images.ladyviola11.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SFMJdAoKCtsAAEZMY@k1/morning%20sun.jpg?et=RDlchYlR3PwM98M%2COJS%2CKg&nmid=0" width="162" border="0"><a href="http://images.google.com.sg/imgres?imgurl=http://www.threeappleshigh.ca/blog/mt-static/images/MorningSun01.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.threeappleshigh.ca/archives/2004/10/morning_sun.html&h=441&w=700&sz=126&hl=en&start=20&um=1&tbnid=nES7vsc_qE9JiM:&tbnh=88&tbnw=140&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dmorning%2Bsun%26ndsp%3D20%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1T4HPAB_enPH268PH270%26sa%3DN"></a>   I enjoy the morning breeze, listening to the chirping birds, the smell of grasses and leaves, the feel of the morning dews brushing on my feet, the morning sunshine that inspires my morning walks in going to the office…<a href="http://images.google.com.sg/imgres?imgurl=http://www.fantom-xp.com/wallpapers/42/Morning_dew.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.fantom-xp.com/ru_42__Morning_dew.html&h=1024&w=1280&sz=291&hl=en&start=5&um=1&tbnid=uu_DNh6nMtZUqM:&tbnh=120&tbnw=150&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dmorning%2Bdew%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1T4HPAB_enPH268PH270%26sa%3DN"></a> Of course, I enjoy breakfast…it’s my favourite meal of the day.
