we had chopsuey on sunday for lunch.
tatay did the peeling, mincing and dicing, nanay did the cooking,
i did the eating =)
day 89
Starbucks tambay with Tatay, out to fetch Nanay coming from Quezon province.
day 88
The Father "won" an overnight stay at some hotel with a free buffet dinner to boot. We already knew that this is just a scam, (thanks to Marj's earlier post), but how can we resist? Tunog pa lang ng free buffet e go na go na kame.
The place is only a 15min away drive, around 150 pesos gas consumption more or less. A regular buffet costs at least 500 pesos, so what's to lose?
Thanks to Greysi for the directions and for the tip!

september 26, friday
been a long time since i held the 50mm (f1.4 lens), so this idle afternoon of friday, i took it out and "walk" it in our backyard...
tatay bought a new duyan and placed it under the mango tree.
good for afternoon siestas and passing idle time at the house.
muning, son of imang.
the very loyal cat who loves to get scratched in the evening.
santan. the faded part on the left side is not manipulated.
that came out from the very shallow f1.4 setting.

day 74
friday. got out at exactly 6pm. long taxi queue that would put the nfa lines to shame. greysi called, said she and tonet will pick me up. relief!
tonet hurriedly drove to meralco theater, beating the clock. 5 or 10 minutes before 8, we made it. got to our seats. show didn't start on time, what's new? show is already running, but people are still getting in. pinoy style doing a broadway production. was able to get my rebel concealed in a green crumpled plastic bag saying it was just a payong/food container but wasn't able to use it - one usher is carefully eyeing us, mukhang nakahalata.
show ended at 11-ish with a quick finale bow. got home at 12-ish. thans to greysi and tonet for the laugh trip!

my flickr pro account has finally ended. from 9k plus down to 200 photos. the photos were not deleted actually, they are not just going to be viewable in my stream. not viewable, but searchable. that's why for the past 2 days, i've been busy tagging my photos with appropriate tags, like the place where the photo was taken, the people involved in it, etc. i've also tagged all my photos with "riccicutie", so there won't be any problem with searching. another strategy was to copy photos to my multiply account. i've transfered not less than 100 albums, so sorry to all of my multiply friends if i had flooded your inboxes.
and no, i'm not planning on purchasing another pro account.

like ely, tiya dely suffered from a heart attack last saturday night. ely survived, tiya dely didn't make it. she died last night. why the buzz? kase fanatix ang lola ko ni tiya dely. lola eagerly awaits for the news beside the radio regarding the sad news. ako naman, nag-aabang sa internet kung kelan ang part 2 ng reunion.
