Thank you Chef Cheska Cariño for taking care of us and preparing a special meal for us

 They had an event on the second floor for the Gilas team and we have the whole ground floor all to ourselves! 🙂  

Mom had them change the table into square so we can all face each other

Love the Ball jars as lights 🙂

Tuesday Lunch

By | Foodie, Tributes | No Comments

For as long as I can remember, my Dad and one of his bestfriends, Tito Boni, have been seeing each other every week, every tuesday for lunch!  They call it Tuesday lunch 🙂  They are so cute and I admire them for what they have.  

They take turns choosing the restaurant to eat it.  After awhile, they were inviting the family to join – so whoever can make it – we join the lunch.  A few weeks ago, I was the only one who could make it 🙂

Dad loves Kuretake and for a time and until now he chooses to come here and he used to have Chicken teriyaki every single time.  It’s a good thing that lately he has changed to having this set meal with grilled jaw

Time flies so fast, I cannot believe I have an 18 year old!

18 years means 19 years of marriage, that’s how I keep track 🙂 Happy Birthday to my son who is now an adult.  I wish and pray for only the best and that God may continue to bless him  

Jaime had a small and intimate celebration at home for his 18th birthday

Educare Goes to Manila Ocean Park

By | Giving Back | 2 Comments

My son, Jaime, wanted to do some charity work during his summer break together with his friends.  I was so happy he asked my advice and he chose our very own foundation.

He wanted to do a basketball clinic but I told him the kids might be too young yet and it was rainy season so I suggested a field trip which I had been planning but has not pushed through.  It was a good thing too because it was typhooning days before and they had arrived late due to traffic.  For the day, we adopted 23 kids from the Sister of the Poor of St. Catherine of Siena

We started with feeding them breakfast to make sure they do not get hungry till lunch

Then we immediately left for Manila Ocean Park

Thank you to Jaime’s best friends for joining and helping out – Charles Lane, Dachan Park, Gabs Villafuerte, Bettina Lichauco and of course litre brother, Javier joined us too.  Each of them were assigned to take car of 3 to 4 kids each

It was so cute- the penguins would follow the hands of the kids wherever they moved it

Jaime and friends wanted photo ops so they went inside and fed the penguins

This was my first time to go to Manila Ocean Park.  I look at it as a Mall which you can enter even without any entrance fee.  There are certain areas where you have to pay an entrance fee – like all these attractions.  There are also other rides and shows which you have to pay separately depending on what you want to do.  Then aside from that there are many shops and food stall around the place.
