updates?!

Ok, had this post in my drafts for quite a while now, was intending to post this before but then this and this happened. So I will just edit this out and post it anyway…

.. I have been trying to organize all of our digital photos. Planning to put it into one online gallery instead of what I have now which is a lot of different online galleries, nakakalito na. [syempre still haven't finished with this, ang hirap ayusin lahat ng pictures lalo na when you just save them on your hard drive and don't organize it at once.]

… Last Sept 9, Ichi and Ton‘s cousin M invited us over for a birthday barbeque at her condo.

… Siobs (M who’s currently based in London) will be here in November. She will be flying back to Manila to attend her cousin’s wedding so she’s passing by Singapore to visit with us and finally see her inaanak (godson) e. she finally booked her flight so looks like it’s all set. Her mom and uncle will meet with her in Manila for the wedding and then they will go to Boracay (or bora as it is fondly called) with my mom and auntie S, sana lang we could join them. [A little more than a week and she'll be here, can't wait to catch up with her. On the bora thing, after looking at our budget it'll definitely not happen for e and I. Sayang, Ichi will be in Indonesia then pa naman, oh well some other time siguro.]

… Just heard (from Len, Ness’s sister who’s also based here in Singapore with her husband) that our friend Ness will be stopping over in Singapore this November en route to her new life in Australia. We will finally be able to meet Joel, her fiancee, they’ll be traveling back to Australia together after their engagement party in Manila. [We were able to attend Ness & Joel's engagement dinner at Rockwell last October 22. It was fortunate that we were also in Manila as we flew back to attend Ichi's guakong's (maternal grandfather) 90th birthday celebration. See you guys here in sg, I think Ness, Joel and Len will be arriving tonight.]

… Ichi will fly to indonesia in October to do user training for their current client. He says there are plans for him to go again in November and if that pushes through E and I can hopefully go to bora. [Ok, Ichi wasn't able to go to Indonesia that time due to his appendectomy which he had a couple of days before his scheduled flight, his collegue had to go in his place. He does have another scheduled flight towards the end of November. And yeah yeah, the bora thing didn't work out.]

.. My mom will be here in October and then E and I will fly back with her to manila, a few days earlier than Ichi’s guakong’s 90th birthday celebration. Icelle will fly to Singapore from Myanmar (where she’s based) and will fly back to Manila with Ton and Ichi on the 20th. [My mom and Auntie S flew in the first of October. Auntie stayed till the 6th. As Ichi had his appendectomy, we rebooked his flight and flew back to Manila together so he can also get some much needed rest. Icelle's original plan was to fly back to Manila via Singapore but since we were already in Manila she flew back via Thailand which is a bit cheaper than passing thru here. She instead planned to fly thru here going back to Myanmar but the timing wasn't right again as we flew to Krabi the weekend that she was going back. So for now, the plan will be for her to pass here in February when she goes back to Manila for chinese new year.]

… We had dinner with pao & cris two fridays ago at din tai fung, this restaurant was ranked as (ok say it with me) one of the world’s top ten best restaurants by the new york times. They’re famous for their xiao long bao (dumplings). There’s always a long queue at this restaurant but then again saan ba wala dito sa sg? :p Anyways, going back what we like about this restaurant is their xiao long bao and porkchop rice. [Though it's not one of our favorite restaurants we've eaten there quite a few times in their different branches, each time with diffrent sets of company, ewan lang gusto lang din naman ipatikim sa kanila yung food.]
