What a great idea!!! Marlu shared this with me! She had these sculptures made of the BBFFs in bronze by Ferdie Cacnio!

Ferdie Cacnio sculptures interpreting our BBFF friendships in bronze! It was my 50th bday gifts to each BBFF including myself!

On our last night, Pepe took us out for dinner! Thanks Pepe!
He knows we like Xiao Long Bao so he took us to the Shanghai Dumpling Shop in Millbrae
The place was packed so we had to wait awhile
The BBFFs were able to join us because their flight was delayed so we were happy! Here they are making a HEART for Heart2Heart 🙂 Anette had already gone so we missed her that evening
They have many things which are all matching, this is their latest 🙂
Xiao Long Bao!!!
Tinky and Arianna join us after awhile
One of their specialties, Soy braised Pork Rump – Recommended as well by Pepe!
So nice to have Marlu to always take the lead and take care of serving us 🙂

In the States, you can find anything and everything! This trip, James, Dina and I went around shopping for things for Dad.
First stop was this place which Isa recommended
They have all kinds of things to aid the elderly. Amazing!
Then we went to Sleep Train which specializes in mattresses
We were looking at beds that can go up and down like a hospital bed 🙂
We love Stearns and Foster, the one who makes the mattresses for the Four Seasons Hotel

In the States there are so many choices to make. I don’t know if that is good or it just complicates our purchase 🙂
Next stop Lazboy 🙂
Our salesman 🙂
We got this lazboy because it lifts so it is easier to get up!
And then we went to check out wheelchairs 🙂 Believe me when I say they have everything!
This was a place just selling wheelchairs- ALL KINDS!
The owner of the place 🙂 He told us they can customize any kind of wheelchair – the size, the kind, the color – you name it. He even said there is a wheelchair that costs US$ 20,000!
They can even do this for your car!

We went to the city to check out a store and we were so hungry – it was around 3pm and we had not eaten our lunch yet coming from Danville. We parked the car and we saw this place! It was jam packed for 3pm. More people kept coming in
We enjoyed the thai food that we had – this curry was squash based instead of coconut based
Pad Thai the way I like it

Our beautiful invitation handmade by Arlene Maslog Sanchez!
Thank you to our batchmate, Laura Lim Rodrigo for opening your yummy restaurant to us to have this special occasion
Our teachers who we remember but they do not remember us! haha!! 😉 How can they possibly remember every student? right? But they are the stars and we love them!
Sr. Carla and I 🙂 I will always remember her because she was my police! She is always making sure I am not putting up a mini Rustan’s in Assumption!! haha 🙂
All of us have a role in our velada and we all contributed whether small or big to make this a successful, meaningful and memorable Velada!
Thank you Bambee Bartolome Tambunting for organizing this special event
Just our attendance to the events is already a contribution – we love seeing everyone and bonding with everyone
Thank you Myla Maderal Guinto for the photos which i am adding here 🙂 You take nice photos
Our delicious lunch from Casa Armas! YUM! I even saw some leftovers after the lunch and it was brought to rehearsal! Thanks Lau!
Chaos!! Everyone excited to see everyone!
Heart2Heart loves the hugging 🙂 So many hugs that day 🙂
and the crying as the teachers were prayed over!
Thank you to Arlene Maslog Sanchez for putting together the lootbag which the teachers went home with. Also to Tricia Tenchavez Bello for the beautiful bag. I wish i were a teacher that day 🙂

James asked me to accompany him to a car show in Danville. We drove about an hour away from San Mateo. I love the small town of Danville!
Just in the parking lot, there were already many nice cars parked
Entrance to the show, they closed the street for the event
How nice! It was a fund raiser for Team Fox!
It’s nice because in the street are nice coffee shops and quaint vintage stores! I was so worried I would get bored, but I enjoyed it and wished we had more time to hang around
STARBUCKS!!! 🙂
Cute dogs dressed up for the event 🙂

In the West coast, I’m always so happy I get to visit my good friend, Triccie!!! I invite myself over to her house and I want to see if she changed her home since I was last there
Previous entry: Ernie and Triccie in SF April 22, 2007
The house is the same with a newly renovated kitchen and they have a new child, Fayth! 🙂 Here is Ernie with Fayth
Fayth’s home
And the two girls have grown up so fast!!!! Sara and Karina!
And you can tell who the artista is among the two 🙂 And she told me she takes after her mom! Hmmm… haha!!
And Triccie and I go through her old albums and here are some photos!!!
This is my good friend Triccie! I remember we used to see each other everyday- either she goes to my house or I go to hers. Then we would go out together during the weekends and even double dated several times 🙂
And we used to take many “baduy” photos of the two of us 🙂
Take note of the hairstyle 🙂
Our bigger group in Assumption!I miss those days! We would get together very often
And Triccie is back home with us to join us celebrate our Velada!!!!
Ernie and Triccie serve us cocktails
And then they take us out for dinner at the Fish Market in San Mateo!
Looking forward to spending more time with Ernie in Triccie!!
Triccie took me here because she knows I love cheese and she ordered the cheesesticks for me which they are very known for. Super Yum! I could just eat this!
You can have it with crab
Calamares
crab cakes
Ernie’s fish dish
Triccie’s order- oysters
