Roaming and Eating Around

November was a busy month - both on the home front and at work.

 There was the going home to Dumaguete City for the elective and research matters.

Morning Snacks

The UP-PGH DFCM Post-Graduation Course at the Hyatt Hotel and Casino....

Happy Birthday, my Love (November 16, 2011)!!!

The Weekend Birthday CeLebration for Julius; and his wish to savor the Crispy Pata at Buddy's Restaurant-Kakatong Branch.
How could I possibLy resist that face?

The Crispy Pata was 9/10 on the NRS... but the quantity was just too much for both of us to finish. We had the left-overs for breakfast on the following day.

The truth is, we have been going to Buddy's for almost two months now - after going through the "ChicBoy" phase.

Doctor Ellen and Sir Lims, both of whom my mentors while I was reviewing for the diplomate board examinations.

Along with other doctors, I got invited to lunch at Mangan. I had this for dessert -the bibingka and the puto bumbong!

The Pinoy Christmas Scene

Julius and I paid the entrance fee of 10 pesos so we could get into the trade fair at SM MegaMall Building B Megatrade Hall 2 - The Buy Pinoy Exporters Fair.
 
Julius got so excited when he found out that there was a booth catering to the "how to make the fabric softener and dishwashing detergent...."  He had been talking about it for months already where he could possibly learn how to do it.

 We were there on the second and on the third day.
The second day was to buy some kakanin that we could bring to our DGroup meeting at CCF , St. Francis Square. It turned out to be a "Sweets Festival, " with our cassava cake and leche flan, completing the Goldilocks cathedral and apple pie. We met new companions, too - Juvy and Alfred and Maricel.

The third day was for Julius and his seminar/demo on the fabric softener and dishwashing liquid. He is having some business ideas now. i hope this will push through in God's own perfect time.

TAkoyaki Balls for me!

Julius would always pick me up from the hospital in the afternoon. Robinsons Place in Ermita, Manila has become our go-to place before going home (along with the rest of PGH staff!)



And this is what we usually have----

The Green Mangoes at Mangoong for him

But, on the weekends... SM Megamall Food Court is our place.

The Megastar was around during this time - attending the launching of some brand of cooking ware.










It is still the "mangoong" for him... and I have just recently discovered the NYFD french fries and dips...
... next time it will will be the garlic sauce or the pepperoni or...

On the MRT Platform at Buendia station; I thought it was Ayala station already - sowi, manong!

And this is us, while waiting for my most favorite mode of public transportation  - the train.


Fellowship training is about to finish; graduation day, December 15, is just around the corner -
I am thanking the Lord now for allowing me to live and experience Metro Manila; not aLone but with my husband.
