Hardly Able to Blog

Okay, I may be delinquent in updating my blog but as I always point out, that is not to say nothing is going on that's worth blogging. I do still have my camera with me (most of the time) so pictures are still a-plenty.

Below are just a few of what I captured in stills...


This is how the Capitol building now looks - festive, after it has been adorned with lights. Note that this will be until after the Sinulog mardi gras (Feast of the Sto. Nino) on the 3rd Sunday of January.


This was on the morning of my first time to participate in the board meeting... I was a bit clammy and nervous but Jerry was there to keep me company. Sweet...


At Krua Thai where we celebrated nephew Charles' birthday. Matt, Jake, Timmy, Kyle and Michael - These are the faces that will propagate the family name. And 3 come from our lineage. Hehehe.


Juju, Matt, Jake, Timmy, Kyle, Michael and Charles, the birthday boy. These are 7 of the 9 grandsons of my mom-in-law. The 2 who are not in the foto are John, who is in the USA, and Jaymes, who is in Australia.


Jake is amazed at the display of miniature toy cars that cousin Michael brought along. Hehehe... ah boys...


It was Juju's birthday too a few days before. We already celebrated his birthday dinner at Cafe Georg last Nov 30. The blowing out of the candle was a bit late but still fit for photo op. Matt looks like he's used to carrying 30-lb Jake.


Oh, don't mind me here. This is supposed to be a shot of Jake's first taste of lollipop. He doesn't seem pleased. Good for him though.


"See any good one, Jake?" - Checking out the ties at Salvatore Ferragamo.


Checking out the expensive timepieces at Cartier. Jake seems to have an expensive taste eh. Signs of things to come? I hope not.


Jake is pretending to read the boys' birthday card to their Papa Jerry.


Did the elder brothers forget to say something? Jake seems to be trying to say more...


This was written on the front cover of the card...


And this was what they wrote inside...


The bulalo-hungry family during Jerry's birthday dinner.


Ahhh! This is what we really came for.... The bulalo and...


...the sizzling pochero steak!!!


The pochero steak is a little bit cool now and fit to be feasted on. Yummmm!


If you happen to be in town, don't miss Abuhan Dos, known for its famous pochero/bulalo.


The morning after... Is Jake already working off those unwanted fats from last night? I wish I could do the same thing. Hehehe.
