Bye for now grandpa...

August 21st, Grandpa went on his way back to Manila to be with Kenny (Karl's older brother) as well as help prepare for their wedding which will be held on the 28th of November 2009.
It will be after 5 months before we will be seeing you again. There will be lots of things happening within those months... Marriage, childbirths etc.

We will surely miss you.

A Symbol of Love

The wedding ring is a symbol of love and commitment between two person who want to spend the rest of their lives together...

Kimi started getting an interest in being girly-girly. She loves to watch me dress and do my makeup and demands that she gets the same attention with her baby beauty regimen...

Recently, she found the newest addition to her jewelry craze... Our Wedding Ring. It was too big for her little hand fingers but fit nicely on her toe...


I just had to take a shot because she is the result of our love he he!... and this picture shows it all too perfectly...

BBQ Birthday Weekend

A Last Hurrah before going home to Manila. It was also my Father in law's 57th Birthday Party...

Surrounded by friends and family, it was a small gathering but it was really fun.

LOOKS YUMMY!

It looks all so yummy but the process of putting it in a stick left us with hands pricked with this pointy tips.... he he! It was a labor of love though...

MANNNING THE GRILL...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPA

Japanese, anyone?!

We opted for a Japanese Dinner to cool off from the spa encounter :)

Daimasu was the unanimous choice for all the Richmond peeps and we were game to have a try.

The Miso soup with Manila Clam was quite tasty. The Chicken Karaage (boneless) was also good and hot. The Tempura was ok :) I ate a half cup of rice to go with the food. Unfortunately, I can't eat the Salmon sashimi that looks quite fresh and tasty :(

Of course, Photo-op would take its place... Good Friends, Good Food, Great Smiles! (We were all happy with the food probable he he!)

Pamper Pretties

What could go wrong in a spa session? With relaxing atmosphere and a movie that fits the theme..."BABY MAMA", we had a jolly time catching up and just talking about anything and everything during the pedi-session.

PRETTY FACES

PRETTY FEET

On second thought, there was a slight incident with the owner over scheduling which made the experience a disappointment. It's no use talking about it because it was really pointless and what she was saying was repetitive. I don't think she has the customer service down pat :(.
