My brother decided that he wanted to go on a picnic on the day before Christmas so he could introduce his wife to his friends in our hometown. At first he wanted to go to Bolong Beach, but changed his mind and chose Woodlands Resort instead because it was a lot closer. He borrowed his […]
Reunion @ Jelly Citea
The bubble tea craze has finally trickled down to my hometown. While I’ve been riding around in tricycles, I’ve noticed several bubble tea shops with a clever play on the word “tea” in their names, like Serinitea, Frostea, and Jelly Citea. I had a chance to check out the last one with my college friends […]
Alavar’s Curacha {Foodee}
I thought this was going to be a happy post. Sadly it won’t be. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s start at the beginning. My brother brought his new wife home with us for Christmas. One of her friends who grew up in the same hometown as us had told us that she needed […]
Reunion @ The Fat Monk
IÂ met up with a few college friends for reunion dinner in our hometown. We originally made reservations at a new restaurant called The Fat Monk. Then we thought it was too far and cancelled it, then decided to go to Village, then Cafe Zambo, then Daniel’s Hotel, where they had a karaoke room. But when […]

Partyin’ at a Farm
On the day after my brother’s wedding, his wife’s family decided to hold an impromptu lunch “party” at their uncle’s farm. I am used to farms because my dad’s parents were farmers and we used to have reunions on their farm back when I was younger. Two of the major food groups. ;P To be […]
Extended Family Dogs
Now that my brother is married, he has gotten himself a new family. Since I am in his real family, I guess they are also mine now, by extension. I guess. Not really sure how this whole in-law thing works. I like my new sister-in-law and her family. They all seem like such nice, warm […]

I’m Actually an Introvert
Most people label me as an extrovert. All the personality tests I take say the same thing. But today I realized that I might be an introvert after all. Why? Because I am sitting in the corner of a dark room instead of going downstairs and mingling with my brother’s family-in-law and other guests. I […]
My Brother’s Wedding
My brother got married earlier today. I was a bridesmaid or secondary sponsor in charge of the cord, so it meant I had to be up at 6 am so I could wait in line to get my hair and makeup done. The bride was first priority, of course. Then my mom and I got […]
