Loving Greenwich!

My family has always been pizza lovers. I remembered when my mom was pregnant with our youngest sister, she would have pizza and pizza and lots of pizza. We tried and ate at all the pizza restaurants in Jeddah to take care of her cravings. One time, we had Greenwich delivered at home and since then we have been craving for it.

Greenwich changed the way that they do their crust. It is no longer like the regular crusts that they share with the other pizza joints. Their crust now is way better and tastier. One day after my dad's weekly check up, we ended up at SM Centerpoint and eating lunch where else but at Greenwich!

mommy all smiles with her pizza slice

if bars have their beer tower, Greenwich has the Coke tower! Just 30 pesos for every order! Nice right?

all ok with the coke tower!

Found a new love!

One night me and hubby decided to have a drinking spree. I ended up buying the new San Miguel Beer with flavoring. I got the lemon flavor. Hmmm... something different.. something new. I was hoping that it was worth trying for.

When I opened it, I took a sniff.. it smelled like regular beer.. Hmm.. no lemony scent! I placed it inside a mug filled with ice and tasted it.. yummy.. hehehe.. finished the whole bottle right away. New love... I heard the apple flavor is good too.. Now all I have to do is look for it! hehehehe!

not a big fan of san mig light.. this is a good alternative

lemon flavor.. yummy

iced cold beer.. perfect to cap off the night!

My College baby buddy Gets Hitched!

When I was with the student council of CSSP, we handled one freshman block to take care of. We got one Psychology block and each officer was assigned a buddy. Ms. R is the one assigned to me. She was quiet, so polite and totally an opposite of me. I knew that it will be a challenged since we are opposite. But then again, first impressions don't last. We share a lot of things in common - like reading books and eating! Hahaha.. I am on the bad side of that common things since I gain the weight, she doesn't.

We shared a lot of experiences and we made sure that we kept in touch through the years. She stood as my maid of honor during our wedding. Now it is her time to tie the knot and start a new life with her Mr. R. I was actually flattered when she asked me to be one of her bridesmaids. The last time that I was part of a wedding entourage was when I was in grade 4. I remembered nibbling on carrots and celery sticks and drinking Carnation non-fat milk for weeks so I could fit in my gown. Hahahaha... Anyways back to Ms. R's wedding... I was just happy for her.

The day went well with a few rain showers... They said that rain brings good luck... "Shower" of blessings for the newlyweds. The ceremony was solemn as I expected it to be and short. The reception was held at C3 Events Place in Greenhills. The place was fabulous and super chic. The food was good also specially the paella.. hahaha... But of course, the couple was all smiles and it was good to have that feeling that someone you knew.. grew up and became a fine lady.

Sharing some photos from our first event

Hubby's BFF's Wedding

05.05.2011 --- Since I started an events company with my co-w@wies, I took charge in coordinating the wedding of hubby's bff! It was a simple gathering. The church was at the Sacred Heart Parish at Kamuning, Quezon City and the reception was held at Jade Valley at QC as well. I have my friends, Jan & Mean to help me out. It was small and it was intimate and it ended well even though we were not expecting too much guests.

Mama stood as ninang to the couple

hmmm.. ayaw talaga mag smile ha!

bearer din po sya!

Feeling like a girl!

With an upcoming photo shoot, I went to make up artist EJ Litiatco to fix me up. Here is the end product... I love my curly locks!

--- Our First Anniversary ---

For our first anniversary, we did not plan anything big. I am too busy at work and Xtian does not want to go anywhere. So to mark it as a special day, we went out with my family. My dad has not been to the mall after his diagnosis. We were off early. Both me and Xtian came from our respective shifts. We decided to go to Trinoma. It was almost lunch time when we arrived at the mall. We rented a wheelchair for daddy so it will be easier to move around. Too bad Trinoma does not provide one for their customers... the rent is steep! 75 pesos per hour! We wanted to eat somewhere we haven't tried before. My sister insisted on eating at a Japanese resto but I know Xtian is not a big fan of Japanese food unless it involves ramen or sukiyaki. Good thing, we passed by Cyma.

Let's have the pictures do the talking, shall we...

My sister took this picture of the menu.. Hmmm.. what to eat!

Since I was starving, I asked the waiter to recommend a salad. She recommended the Roka Salad. See mama getting ready to attack it!

Mommy talking to Andie at the phone.. She is based in Iloilo.. So we just called her.

Now mama attacked it... Pinipili ang walnuts.. huy!

di mabitawan ang kanyang anniv gift... ang mahal ng regalo ko ha! regalo daw namin sa isa't isa.. hmm pero parang lugi ako!
mommy imported section yan.. ibalik sa shelf!

It has been a long time since we had a family day like this... Eating out plus shopping and ending with grocery shopping. I love grocery shopping more than shopping shopping... hehehe.. I always think of the what to prepare for the coming weeks. Stocking on the essentials is fun as well.
