Birthday Girl

Born on April 30... a typical taurean.

New door... New life...

The chocoloate shake made of authentic choco batirol, the beef english pie made of ground beef and mashed potato, the cinnamon roll... made our siesta very pleasurable. Nice merienda at Bag of Beans Tagaytay.

Nice to read when everything around you is very quiet.

AMEN for the very nice food and ambience.

Happy eating...

Nice dinner at the Fire Lake Place at The Cliff, Tagaytay

Shopping for Scented Soap

Thanks to you Reggie for being with me and for driving this far to celebrate my special day :-)

Lud Lim

Another happy chinese customer I had was... Lud Lim. He's a chinese businessman fron Binondo. He confessed that he loves to travel and he's also very adventurous when it comes to food. No wonder he landed having his dinner with The Artist Chef.

I felt humiliated when I wasn't able to play a background music during their dinner. My music player exploded. So unlucky of me that day. Despite that they were able to enjoy their dining experience.

The famous Mango and Shrimp Medley

ME, in action putting the dressing

With Lud is his fiancee. I wonder if they are married already by now...

Lookie... Joanie's Rainbow

When I was a kid I always believed that there's a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, but things change when you grow up. Now I only believe in rainbows and not in the pot of gold. No matter how colorful life is, stains and dirt always challenge its brighter side. And I interpreted this thought thru my painting decade ago. College days. I wonder where this painting is... Wherever it is, I'm glad that it came a long way. The most favorite deviation in my deviantart and now it's being featured in Deviant News and one of the most popular stories. A nice birthday gift :-)
