Was trying to search about fat burner reviews a while ago when I happen to see this promo banner in facebook, an eat all you can pasta offering at PENPEN's Restaurant. If only this resto is located near us, I'd probably be there every Tuesdays of the week! You see, I'm a total sucker for Pasta and their seven sauces really sounds very enticing. Can't wait to try 'em soon. I wonder who can bring me there... anyone?! I'm free! and really craving for pasta! :D
Last Tuesday and Wednesday, my friends and I had a grand time eating out, literally. We had so much food in a span of almost 38 hours! We started our meet up with coffee and ended up with another huge dose of joe - to practically keep us alive and energized. Anyways, will post our whole lot of food trips, that of course I took snaps of! as in every dish that we had? photo shoot it was! of course, aside from all our topics that we discussed, from preparing our wedding, to reception, to photographers and how they charge now, to bpi training and other stuff that matters to us! ;D We really had a grand time together, sans the no sleep and time to time downfall of our energy! :D
Hooray! today is such a happy day for us twitter friends, why? because our friend Glo has arrived from Boston (wonder if she even had to get a service from cross country movers or something)! That only means one thing... meet ups!!! woohoo! can't hardly wait for our grand get together on the 19th and 20th consecutively. But aside from that dates -Aggie, Glo and I are also set to meet on the 9th and 10th of this month also, this time a girl bonding dates it'll be, from lunch to coffee date, dinner and a girly night out at nearby comedy bar to cap off the night. And then morning after, we'll go straight to our place and have brunch and a little chitchat too. Then we'll head to Tagaytay with kids for dinner! whew. Jam packed schedules eh?! you bet! :D
My daughter's 3rd birthday party was the simplest. We opt not to throw a huge and expensive one and decided to celebrate her special day the way we did last year, on her second. And pretty amazing because she never mind at all, a simple house party attended by her two cousins and some neighbor's kids too. The only thing she asked for is for a PINK HELLO KITTY CAKE! (and not a dip bar, of course :D ) that of course I got for her :D Mom prepared spaghetti, grilled chicken, spring rolls, hotdogs with mallows and fruit salad. While I bought mini cakes and ice cream for the kids and the young at hearts! So here is our table set up right before her party started... see the balloons? I made those too! pure labor of love for our little one :D
To be honest, I need to keep a holiday list of dates for the whole year so that I wouldn't forget.. and these holidays are must be remembered since it is during those times that we get to see everyone in the family... or have their ski vacations scheduled or something!

A yummy Tyler Florence's cookbook! My friend Glo told me that it's supposed to be given to someone who won on one of our online raffle, but, what the heck! it's with me now.. so I'm keeping it! (evil laugh) well, until they remember :D Anyways, aside from this coveted book, I also got most of my kitchen loots like hand mixer, pyrex bowls, dinnerware sets and some more items like humidifier filter, towels and tools set for dad. So there, actually, I just wanted to brag this cookbook thus I made this post :D ... gotta go now!
