Durian Yum

I used to not appreciate Durian for what it is. I can live up with the smell but I was just not into eating the fruit. My Mom used to make me learn to like durian, so as my sister and my Dad because they obviously love it. I remember days when they'd eat durian and my Dad used to buy me my favorite fruit (yellow mango) instead.

Davao is well-known for its feast of bountiful harvest every August. I love everything about Davao, and I always look forward to Kadayawan Festival but it was just now that I've learned to love one of the things our city is proud to showcase --Durian.

After years of just tasting a bit of the fruit's "membrane" (as what I call it), I finally had finished the "meat" of one durian seed. Here it is.

My 1st ever naubos na durian to the buto. Haha! Yey! Better late than never. :)

I'm just so happy. :) I wish my Mom could see my latest accomplishment. She'd love to see this. :)

Sundae

Introducing my new love from McDonalds............

The new Fruity Blueberry Sundae, whatever. I don't get the name exactly but I definitely ♥ this. However, Caramel Sundae is my #1 favorite. :)

I ♥ My Berx

Torn between going and not going, I decided to go afterall. My Dad gave me my money back, so I have enough bucks to enjoy my day.

Ahfat III was our first stop. We were soooo full. Btw, seven out of eleven were present. RA dropped by though I wasn't able to catch her. S was I-don't-know-where-she-is. A had her review. RT, I-don't -know-too. Anyways, we had 5 different noodle soups, 8pcs siopao (I'm not sure if it's really 8) *I love their Black Mongo Pao*, 2 different dimsums (shrimp ball? and I forgot what's the name of the other one... x2 or x3 each dimsum), siomai, tausi spareribs?, 1 shrimp rice roll?. *Haay. I actually didn't mind the name of the dish much. Everything's delicious.*

The bill was shouldered mostly by P. We should be paying 150+ bucks each................ (A million thanks to his generosity.) The outstanding memory for this day was that N finished all 5 noodle soups. Sulit talaga! Simot. Palakpakan!

P needed to stay in their restaurant so we tried to drop by our batchmate's thanksgiving party at Torres St. 30mins earlier than the party. Unfortunately, no one was still there. We just called her to say our greetings and went to N's house at Maa, where we ate ice cream and talked and talked and talked.

N went for a night swim (which hasn't pushed thru), and the rest of us were at Basti's Brew. I love their coffee and their pasta. The ambiance was chillax. The crew's halloween headband was cute. :) Did I mention that I love their coffee?

We continued talking and talking and talking. I just love them. *Thanks so much for your concern and for your love. I thank God I have friends like you.*  (And I hope they'll get to read this.)

RU was with me til my family arrived downtown to have an ice cream (and to fetch me....) though his eyes are heavy. He's a gent. And I love him. He knows that.

I ♥ My Berx. They're the best. Mwah! Hope we'll get a perfect attendance next time. Til then! :)

*I'll upload some pictures tomorrow in a different post.. Some kind of a P.S..... I'm already sleepy.*

My Dad's Birthday!

At Yellow Cab Damosa Gateway :) YUM!!!

♥I love my Daddy. We love him.♥

We celebrated his 53rd birthday with a "night-out" yesterday. I can hardly recall the last time I got really really full. Last night, "GLUTTONY" was posted on my forehead. My tummy has expanded to the limit and because of that I need to commode at 4:30am this morning and again before going to school. Even though I'm supposedly on diet, the dishes were no-way to be rejected. *Thank you Lord for the blessings.*

On the very same day last year, I remember we also had a pizza from Yellow Cab. However we celebrated Dad's birthday in the hospital. It's been a year since I had my operation, my TAHBSO operation. Kidding! :D (It's just a mass excision, OK? Nothing cancerous whatever.) I was more of groggy and I almost rested for the rest of the day 'cause I'm post-op.

My dad's birthday this time around was far more special than last year of course. At 9pm, a live jamming session was up at Damosa. It made the ambiance cozy and chill. *I sooo love jazz music.* To end our night, we drove thru McDonald's and got Sundaes. (Obviously, mine's Caramel ♥)

Ah.... A memorable night. Of course it would be less memorable if not for the fact that the birthday celebrant is my ever-loving, hardworking, supportive, groovy, and the-one-who-spoils-us-always Daddy.

Happy Birthday Dad!

XOXO :)

Caramel Love ♥

Last night, my family and I went out for a night stroll. Our last stop was at Mcdonald's Damosa. And for dessert, I had caramel sundae. Mwah! One sure way to make me happy! ♥♥♥
