Mother's Day 2006

This year, I go through pregnancy the second time around which I think makes this Mother's Day more special. As usual, we woke up late yesterday (14 May, 2006 - Sunday) ... Mon, Chloe and I prepared to go out to celebrate Mother's Day. We had a late lunch at Serye (Festival Mall, Filinvest, Alabang). The mall was packed with people! And to think, a typhoon just passed Metro Manila yesterday. It was hard to get a parking space but we managed to get one near Shopwise Supermarket. We had chicken barbeque and java rice at Serye. Their meal was sumptuos yet affordable. We were satisfied because the serving was enough to fill you up. Afterwards, we tried getting a cake at Goldilock's and Red Ribbon as "pasalubong" for Mon's mom. But as expected, both bakeshops were jampacked so we just decided to head to Manila and just try dropping by at Goldilock's near my in-law's place. Luckily, there were a few people inside when we got to Goldilock's, Dimasalang. I was trying to look for a white/marshmallow icing chiffon cake but all they had available were butter icing cakes (eww! nakaka-high blood!) so I decided to just get a large "crema de fruta".

We arrived at my in-law's at around 6 pm and Mon's parents ordered dinner for us. We had "beef bulalo", "beef mechado", "inihaw na bangus", "sinigang sa miso tambakol" and spaghetti for the kids. Sayang kasi hindi kami kumpleto. It was only Bobby, Yianel, and Us who were able to visit Mommy Virgie. We had a good time naman and we were full. Hopefully, everyone will be present this Thursday (May 18) when we celebrate Mommy Virgie's 62nd birthday ...
