You pronounce it el-ye, like the Ll from the Filipino alphabet.
But if you cant pronounce it, you can call her Lulu or Luthy.

Sean decided to celebrate his 12th birthday doing one of the things he loves doing best — karting.

Snapseed photo of the day

As I was going through my Twitter feed last night, I came across @Snapseed‘s post on their Photo of the Day. As I have regularly checking their Flickr group to get inspiration on how to best utilize the iPhone app, I clicked on the link.

And lo and behold, my photo made it to their Photo of the day.

Here’s the photo (which I also uploaded as my POTD last 24 September:

where the days are long

regular programming

Funny how things often work out. Just when I had posted my previous entry, I decided to go over to Globe over at the Podium to check on the status of my phone. Lo and behold, there it was waiting for me — a brand new iPhone 4.

No more POTD on hold… and we’re back to regluar programming.

femoly treat

Last weekend, my dad took us all out for a treat — the Kaos show at Resorts World Manila. We had some Japanese for lunch and a quick Lion Dance show to celebrate the entrance of the Chinese New Year.. Here are a few iphone photos from the dance:

allana’s family day

Yesterday was Allana’s 1st family day over at Saint Theresa’s college (STC). AS four of the kids were all ready to go explore the events of the day, I only had the babies left as my willing photography subjects (except for the first photo).

Monday was my mom’s birthday. So we decided to have a small family dinner over at Senju, in Edsa Shangri-La. Celebrating birthdays are always fun, and you can’t really go wrong with good japanese food.

Here are a few photos from the evening.

the new sidebar

Sidebar finally officially opened last night, so naturally, we decided to check out our old watering hole.

It’s a lot smaller than it used to be, and the prices have gone up a bit. But all in all, it’s still the same Sidebar experience.

weekends

Everyone looks forward to the weekends. This two day break saw a lot of Wishi, a Spanish themed lunch and not a lot of rest. But it was all fun.

After watching Alice In Wonderland with the kiddos at Trinoma, we headed over to go home… but not before painting time.

Home made Japanese Lunch

Leave it to Tita Che to come up with themed Sunday lunches… And not just ordinary meals, I’m talking about full blown smorgasbords.

Here’s a photo of yesterday’s lunch, with a lot of the dishes like the Chawanmushi, Sukiyaki, Kani Salad missing. All that’s showing here is what was right in front of me.
