Fish Market Bye-Bye Lunch

It was a bright, sunny day when we had a Despidida lunch for my Mamay & Papay at the fish markets. Yum, yum, yuuuuumy food!!!!
After our super delish lunch, we had our must-have dessert of chocolate-dipped strawberries - another round of YUM!!!

But I was sad na naubos agad....

Buti nalang may chocolate donut!!!

After nito, puede pong ice cream naman?!

After our delicious lunch, it was time for some serious picture takin'!

My Mama, Papa and Ninong B brought along their DSLRs!

Papay posing with his new beaut Mark II! Galing galing!

My Papa showing off his different expressions -

Inis or Happy?! Super sad?! Looks like I wasn't the only one who was sad all the strawberries were gone....

My Mamay & Papay naman.

Ninong B & Nanang Nes

My Mama & Papa

Siempre a picture taking would not be complete without some silliness...

Mga Kulit Bulilits naman -

set up muna...

Smile!!!

Siempre my Mama, wanted more, and more, and more pictures -

Not sure if we wanted to pose some more...

O sige na nga!!!

So we took some more shots, hangang nahilo na

si Papa. Kami naman ni Mama!

How about this pose naman?!

Gualbertos naman...

Bonding with Dadan - Note our outfits! Thanks Lola Ning.

Dadan naman...

Ako naman, my turn!!!

Haay! Busog!!! Sarap mag sleep....ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

PJ Gallagher's Lunch

We had lunch at PJ Gallaghers after MIm & Papy's last minute shopping at Westfields. We had a nice break from the kiddies who were with their daddies -so we were able to take our time and enjoy lunch!

Mim, uuumh, I think that's Dainy's dish...Lamb ragout (super lambot ng meat, as in!)Mim with her steak and diane sauce.

The gals with their steaks & bernaise sauce and siempre the ever present Lemon-LIme & Bitters!

Excited!!!

City Pasyal & a unique way of cutting hair...

On Thursday, after taking Migs to daycare, Mim, Pap & I headed to the City for the day.

First stop was Basement Bookstore - one of our fave places to go, super cheap books and super accessible pa (baba lang ng Central Station!), and proving that I am my father's daughter, we spent awhile browsing through the hundreds of books!

Next stop was Market City - to eat yummy, yummy combination Laksa!!! and drink the ever-present Lemon Lime & Bitters! Double Yumm! Pag uwi, we picked up Miggy and Mamay decided to give him a haircut since long hair na sya for far too long....
and as expected, super likot and kulit ni Miggy, buti nalang Papay had a different way of distracting him!

Who knew na ang vacuum may iba pa palang use?!

Yum Cha Lunch

On Mim & Papy's first week we had a yummy Yum-Cha lunch at Phoenix. Ang daming food, as in!!!
Pose muna bago mag eat....

Road Trip to Port Stephens - Day 1

One Saturday, we hired a Kia Tarago and went on a little road trip... Smile muna for the camera!
And we were off...
Frankie at the wheel.
With B navigating with their new beaut GPS
Papy & MIm with Primero Uno Kulitbulilit
Dadadee & her Whitefaced Mama (sunscreen much?)
And moi!
We passed by miles and miles of nice green scenery, and decided to stop by the Lindeman Winery.

Papy sampling the wine

and the Gualbertos too.

"ha?! Akooo Lashing?"

more wine tasting...

The Bautista's take on wine -

Before wine tasting : Smile!

Before : Asim face!

After that, we drove around some more and found a nice spot to have lunch.

Yummy prinitong hipon & pork adobo with fluffy rice!

Times like these masarp mag kamay!

and picture time once again!

and more of the kiddies...

Migs was not in the mood to pose for pics, so Dadan nalang...

We arrived at Port Stephens and decided to look for a place to stay. So after driving around for awhile, we literally stumbled upon this place...

The whole apartment - with 3 bedrooms,

a spacious living room...

a big dining room

kitchen (complete with plates, pans, utensils and even tea & coffee)!

plus, a pretty great view from the balcony!

The kids were pretty happy!

After settling in, we drove to the nearest shopping centre and bought stuff for our dinner.

The Gualbertos were in charge of Bar-b-queing!

For dinner, we had adobo, chicken kebabs, green salad, asparagus, fluffy rice and chocolate for dessert! Yummm!

Even Migs was a good boy - he ate!!!

Meat pies & choco milk

Of course, proud mama!

Aprub!

and since good boy sya, may price!

"Time to eat na po ba?"

The kids being their kulit bulilit selves

After dinner, we settled down for our usual after-dinner activity.

Some families bond by watching DVDs or go on food trips together, well we do that too, but we also gamble together...

B brought his poker chips.

Migs trying to help...

And of course, it would not be a blog without a lot of silliness!

Time for some serious business...

Papy explaining the rules of the games.

Time to place our bets...

The kids had fun too...

The first game was Bullshit ( a super, super fun game), which involves "fooling" people so you can get rid as much cards as you can.

First winner of the night - Dainy!!!

We had loads of fun, Mama won next but she wasnt even sure why she won! ngiii!

Its almost impossible for her to tell a lie, but since we all were laughing soooo hard, we didn't even notice na she was already cheating ( which is the objective of the game). Well played Mim!

The different faces of playing cards :

serious!

pero may laughs din of course!

Next game was Poker!

The kiddies were having fun under the table too.

Next winner - Nes!

Wooohooo!

Time for the Bautistas for a little cheer pow-wow!

Go0000 Frank & Lel!

All that cheering, proved successful...I won at Pusoy Dos!

Yeah, Baby!!!

Frankie being a supportive hubby!

Last to win was Frankie!

Chips, chips, Chiiiiiiiiiiiiiiips!!!!Bwahahaha!

Look at all that!

Finally time to sleep...

"Puede po ba pose pa ako?"

"Naglalaro pa po kami e"

O Sige na, Time to sleep!!!

"Hindi pa po ako sleepy e, I think sipa ko muna si Papa"

"and listen to i-touch"

"and play with my cars"

and one final "Hiyaaa!" for the night.
