Mamang is coming home!

My sister, Bheng, just confirmed that Mamang (my mother) will be arriving Manila from Sydney, Australia this Saturday for her annual vacation.

I couldn't wait for Saturday anymore.

Congratulations, Trisha Mae & Paolo

CONGRATULATIONS!

Good luck on your new journey in life!

I'm wishing you all the best!

A Big Surprise!

Mae, our cute niece, just gave us a BIG SURPRISE!

It's shocking, at first; but, later, we accepted it and welcomed the developments.

I'm wishing you the best of luck, Mae.

I'd post later what's the big surprise.

Happy birthday, Lizeth

Happy birthday, Lizeth!  Where's your blow out?

Lizeth is my niece, the youngest child of my younger sister, Elvie.

Enjoy your day and take care of yourself and your baby.

God bless you!

Lunch with the widow

Boy's interment was concluded at almost 10:00 am.  From the cemetery, Elvie, the widow, and her two friends rode in my car with wifey.

Along the way, I was already feeling hungry and thought of passing by a restaurant for a snack. Elvie was quicker to pull the gun.  She announced her invitation for an early lunch.  Accepted, we went to Don Cuisine along Commonwealth Avenue; but, it's still closed until 10:30 am.  No problem!  We proceeded to the nearby Kowloon Restaurant, which is open 24/7.

I was given the task to order.  "How much is the budget?  Five thousand?", I asked.  Go! 

• Assorted Seafood Noodles;

• Half Fried Chicken;

• Fish Fillet in light soy sauce;

• Yang Chow fried rice.

Everybody's full and satisfied.  And, there were leftovers, which were taken out.  The bill?  It's less than a thousand.

Thanks Sis!

Boy is laid to rest

Reyman (Boy) Doruelo

January 1, 1963 to March 23, 2013

Boy, my brother-in-law , who just turned 50 years , succumbed to an illness last March 23.  His remains was lain in state in his sister's home at Bgy. Holy Spirit, Quezon City.  Finally, this morning, he was laid to rest at Bagbag Cemetery in Novaliches, Quezon City.

At about 7:30 am, the funeral mass was celebrated at a chapel in Good Shepherd Cathedral in Faiview, Quezon.

 

The bereaved

 Then, right after, the funeral convoy proceeded to the final resting place.

Boy, I'd known you for about four (4) years only; but, I knew you were a great man, a good father, and a good husband to my sister. And, I SALUTE you for that, Brod.  Again, farewell!

Family dinner

Yesterday, my family's eating dinner out at a Filipino restaurant in Trinoma from a promo deal acquired by wifey.  Yehey!

At the restaurant, she presented the voucher and ordered additional food.  The table was set; and, the drinks served. When we're about to open the bottle of softdrinks, the waiter was rushing back and told us, "Mam, your voucher is good at the Mega Mall branch only."  What! I drove this far; and, we ended up at the wrong branch.

Wifey asked if we should proceed with our orders.  But, I just decided to have our dinner at my favorite pizza parlor - Shakey's.

The Mojos n' Dip was served as a starter

Then, the Chicken Buddy Pack

And, the large Pizza combination of Angus Steakhouse and Friday Special.

Still hungry, I ordered additional pizza - regular Manager's Choice

I love eating pizza, especially with a mug or two or three of draft beer.  But, this time, I didn't order one.

Burp!  Already full and satisfied, we paid the bill and went home.

Goodbye, Boy!

I'm saddened and sorry that we've lost Boy, my brother-in-law, yesterday.  He's Elvie's (my younger sister) hubby.

Our deepest condolences to Elvie, Boy's family and relatives.

We will miss you, Boy!

You may rest in peace!
