Sunday once again

a hectic Sunday it is!

Woke up at 6:30AM to be early for this year's round of blood test and ultrasound. We were done by 10Am (finally!)

When we got back to my grandmother's place, we got a call from my uncle who is due back to the States, inviting us over for lunch. Since we only see him once in a couple of years, and he came back just to see my Dad, we had to go to the send-off lunch.

Lunch consists of Lechon Cebu (suckling roasted pig)

Lechon originated from the spanish term leche
- Melts in your mouth succulent pork meat

Pancit Malabon

Pancit Malabon is a stir-fried noodle dish, which originated in Malabon City, Philippines. It has a yellow-orange color due to a sauce that includes patis (fish sauce) and crab fat. Toppings may include fresh shrimp, squid, oysters, and hard-boiled duck or hen eggs, as well as pork or chicharon ( dried then fried pork rinds)

KRIS KRINGLE: Something Big

I never thought it would be hard to find something BIG for Php 100 pesos ($2) I short listed the following for my fashionable friend: ...a big box of tissue (useful) ...a big toblerone (but this is WAY over budget) ...a big trash bin ...a case of big oatmeal cookies (last resort) ...a big mirror ...a big bookmark (which i couldn't find anywhere) ...a BIG beer (unrelated) ...a big organizer it's quite difficult really. But I must search for something else. PRESSURE! On a side note, Jamie treated us to Pizza Hut's Lechon pizza. After eating, I felt like I would pass out at any moment due to high cholesterol but it was quite tasty if you're a fan of Lechon (roasted pig). The pizza did taste a bit like Mang Tomas' lechon sauce. A big slice of Pizza hut's lechon pizza

DESTINATION: Marikina Starting Time: 11am End Time: 5pm How to get to J.P. Rizal in Marikina - Waze (app) and Google Maps Marikeno (native people in Marikina) are said to be the most disciplined people in the Philippines. If the cleanliness around Marikina were a testament to that, Marikenos would pass with flying colors. The streets I could say were similar to those in Singapore - free from litter and we saw people from households cleaning their own front area even if it were facing a street. SHOE CAPITAL of the Philippines Marikina produces 70% of the shoes in the country. and holds the World's Largest Pair of Shoes, recognized by the Guinness World Records. In Marikina, you can find the Shoe Museum which houses 800 out of the 3000 shoes that were part of the famous shoe collection of the
