nonna’s birthday dinner
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.

party at 28Narra
A meal at Tito Del and Tita Che’s is always a challenge. A challenge not to eat too much. From the appetizers to the dessert, there is always food aplenty. Add some wine (okay, a lot) and you’re in for a bit of gluttonous debauchery. Intended or not. Of course, this is on a regular day. But last night was a bit different. Lisa and Jon are going back to Boston and are pregnant, there were a few birthdays to celebrate (from both the Aldaba-Lim and Lazaro side), so naturally, the food took a massive upgrade.
From the Jamon Serrano to the various cheeses to the 2 huge slabs of Roast Beef to the pastas to the endless Häagen-Dazs and free-flowing wine and champagne, I didn’t know where to begin and when to end. As a result, I only have a few photos to show for it. In fact, most of them were taken when there was no food around.
Of course, as the night wore down, our attention turned to the star of our gatherings, Pilar.

Although it has become a family tradition to create short AVPs when one of us gets married, this still came as a surprise — especially because of the people involved in the shoot!
Thanks guys, Kan and I love the video.
pilar turns 1
my cousin’s baby, pilar turns one tomorrow (25 march). to celebrate her birthday, we all went to tita cheche and tito del’s place in bay. as it was easter sunday, the kids had an easter egg hunt in the morning, followed by a few games and, of course, lunch.
pilar enjoyed all the food (especially the spaghetti), fun and games, and opening of gifts.
