What I did over the long weekend
I don’t know about you guys, but I absolutely love long weekends! It just gives me the opportunity to do things that I have been meaning to do or do absolutely nothing and not feel guilty. Although I am the type of person who tries to fill my day with activities, this weekend I had some busy time and some down time.
The first thing I did was take my 90 year old Lola to watch Repertory Philippines Sweeney Todd. I promised my cousin Franco who plays the romantic lead Anthony that I would take our Lola Betty to the play. I was so thrilled to take her and we all had a super fantastic time.
Franco and our Lola Betty after the show!
Another shot with me in it! Isn't our Lola Beautiful?
Then I decided to get some brunch at ESCOLTA in the Manila Pen. After that, I took my nephew Santino out for some shopping as it was his 7th birthday. Since I was already in Alabang, I drove around the village to look at new houses. This has been a habit of mine ever since I was in high school, as I am a frustrated architect LOL! I then spent the rest of the long weekend in bed and had a DVD marathon! I watched 7 movies straight! LOL! SEVEN! That is what I did for the long weekend!
What did you do?
I then had brunch at the Manila Peninsula. Ooooh GInger bread houses! I really like the decor at the Pen it is always so tasteful.
Check out the gigantic tree in the lobby!
The Christmas decor at Escolta.
The Buffet brunch was great! I really appreciated the sushi and sea food portion, really fresh!
YUMMERS!
The meat section was also quite impressive! Although the meats could be seasoned better as I found them under seasoned. This photo is like a lechon style lamb. ANG LAKI NO?
The highlight for me was the dessert station! 5 stars all around!
I wonder where they got this? These would make great Christmas presents!
My first plate! I had like 2 more plates after! JAHE na to show you guys! LOL!
This is my Nephew Santino! He recently turned 7. I am his Ninong and I took him birthday shopping! All he wanted were these game discs for his PS3, I thought OK sure! No worries! Then I found out that they cost an average of 3,000 pesos a game! I was like! HUWAAT?!!! But since I promised him the games I had to get it for him! It's cool though, I love spoiling my Nieces and Nephews! Happy birthday SANTINO!
Ever since I was like 16 I have loved architecture, I am a frustrated architect and I have just as much Architecture and Interior design books as that of Fashion. I spotted this handsome looking home in front of my Lola's house, I hope that the owners do not mind me posting this? I just loved the lines and I like the modernity of the design! It's a beautiful home!
It reminds me of the "mies" barcelona pavillion! I love that house and I love this house too! I was like drooling outside! Using the SECRET now big time!
HUGS!
RAJO!
