A Big Hug

We attended the general get-together with Bishop Javier Echevarria in SMX last Tuesday. I was with my husband, Zoe and yaya. This priest ("the Father" as we would call him) last visited Manila 10 years ago. I'm just so glad to have been given the chance to see and listen to him again (we were seated so close to the stage!). As he was talking, I really felt as if he was talking to me lang (even there were thousands of people present) about what to do with my life. It felt like a big hug from him ~ a really comforting one like that of a real father and daughter.

It was something I really needed. :-)

Caution: Loaded with pictures!!! Everything was set for Zoe's 2nd birthday party. We initially invited only a few close family and friends but then our guest list ballooned up to more than 60 people on the day before. No regrets because it turned out to be so much fun! First, the FOOD! We asked the help of my SIL to cook kare-kare and kalderata while our Ate Nilda prepared molo soup, spaghetti, hotdog on stick and fruit medley. My Ninang pitched in and made some leche flan while I made peach & mango ref cake and some canapes (with egg salad) which was a HIT (thanks Anne for the tip!). Our birthday cake was from Red Ribbon (best buy!) while the rest of the food (pancit bam-i, fresh lumpia, chicken lollipops, herb-crusted fish fillet) were ordered from ever dependable Conti's. Pictures here: We had some goody bags and party hats for the guests too. The party started at 12 noon with a short prayer and a cheerful happy birthday song for Zoe: Then it was chowtime right
