Papa's 77th Birthday Celebration

After the undergoing two surgeries in less than a year, we are thankful that papa is now doing ok and celebrating his 77th birthday today. A birthday celebration would not be complete without a dinner out with the entire family. Today, we selected Seafood Island at Abreeza Mall.

They have several sets of boodle servings and we had a hard time choosing which one to order. Finally we decided to order one small one and one big one. I forgot their names though as we kept changing and changing orders. Forgive me! But here are some pictures of how they look like.

We also had a problem about with our table. We had to change tables as something was dripping from the ceiling. They say it was from the air conditioning duct. When our orders came, we noticed they were not hot. I guess because they have to set up the food in banana leaf and all, that's why it is cold? I could not say it tasted really excellent compared to other seafood restaurants that I have been to.

After dinner, we purchased a Red Ribbon cake and ice cream and headed home. I pray that we be granted more years to spend with papa. That I could still take papa with mama on some vacation trips that they both deserve. Speaking of which, we are heading for Dipolog in the middle of June.

A Mother's Day Out

Today is mother's day and we decided to eat out for lunch instead of dinner. We decided to try Archipelago 7101 at SM Lanang Premier. They are located at the second floor, just go out the door near their bowling center and it is to the right. I have to say the food was really impressive.

We ordered Mama Chit's Special,inihaw na pusit and calamares. Ice tea was free for all the mothers. The food was excellent. Everything tasted so yummy. We also ordered turon and sorbetes for dessert and it was just yummy that I ordered another. I never thought turon and ice cream can be a good pair. Scratch that! They are an excellent pair!

After lunch, we went to the bowling center. We were all prepared with our socks. Unfortunately, there was a problem with their scoring board and the technicians were still fixing it, so we were all bummed! My nephew begged to spend some time at the Quantum, so we headed separate ways.

Mother's day should not only be the only day we show our mothers we love them. I will forever be grateful to my mother for everything she has done for me. She is the best mom in the world! Read full post...
