DESPEDIDA DINNER

My brother, sis-in-law and cousins threw a despedida dinner for us two days before our flight. Over pizza, pancit, lumpia, chicken, and chocolate cake, we reminisced over childhood memories and planned for future SG reunions. 

Thanks for making time, everyone. Thanks to G and C for allowing us to invade their home. Thanks for all the well wishes. *Hugs*

Almost every year, one of us flies out to other parts of the world. Unti-unti na nga raw nalalagas ang magpipinsan sa Manila. What comforts us is the fact that wherever we are, we all know we'll forever be a family (and there's always Facebook and Skype for chika! LOL). 

We'll miss all of you! Love you.

Every one got excited over C's potluck contribution -- the gigantic pizza from Caldag's. Kaya maraming photos with it. Lol.

BULOL

J and I have a constant travel companion – a bulol (Ifugao rice god) whom we named, well, Bulol. We try to photograph him in every place we visit - an idea inspired by one of our favorite films, Le fabuleux destin d’ Amelie Poulain (remember the garden gnome who got to travel the world?).

But sometimes, we must admit, we forget to bring him along, hehe (senior moment!).
