Despite the weather, I was still able to capture Mayon.. But this was the best I could get..

Every day, I was blessed to eat these Bicol specialties for breakfast.

Pancit Bato

Pancit Lapad

They’re usually best topped with Dinuguan (Blood Soup?). I don’t know why, but I never liked it. I just want my Pancit plain, but served with puto! These are the traditional rice steamed puto in Bicol. It’s made of pulverized rice (instead of flour), and caramelized coconut as its filling.

Best to eat ‘em this way:

#36 is no more, then eventually #37 will be an island.. poor #37, I’m sure it’ll be sad and overused :-(

After I got my teeth x-rayed, I met up again with Ces and Claude. We’re supposed to have a reunion with our friend Sharon who just got here from Singapore. But due to unavoidable circumstances, she wasn’t able to meet with us. And so, the 3 of us indulged ourselves with a good meal and a great dessert at Conti’s. Ces and I ordered this Chicken Ala Kiev.. looks good tastes even better :-)

And despite of my tooth misery, I still got to used them to sunk in to these sweet desserts. Ces got White Chocolate Torte, which is great. I ordered Conti’s bestseller Mango Brava, which is huge and superb. And Claude had this heavenly sweet Turtle Pie, which is superlative!

I was so full that I look so fat on this mirror shot. I got to find an angle that will make my bulges disappear.

So how about this? Winner!! Wootwoo :-)

I always enjoyed the company of Ces and Claude. We could always talk everything under the sun. Even Sports! Ces is an avid fan of Tennis. She knew all the star players such as Rafael Nadal, Maria Sharapova, and russian players with surnames ending with ***vich or ***kovich. We also talked about Beijing Olympics, of course, and thought if the gold digger Michael “the mutant” Phelps (as Claude said.. hehehe) will bring home 8 bacons.

Before we watched the movie, we ate Pesto with Hungarian Sausage and Putanesca Pizza at Napoli’s. The Pizza is a must-try.. so yummy :-)

We shopped.. I mean, they shopped. ‘Coz all I bought was this hat from F&H. One of my best buy coz it only cost P100!!

Just a reminder, never shop on Sunday especially if all the stores on the mall are on sale. And most especially if you haven’t gotten a sleep for the last 24 hours. I started to feel my eye bags sagging way down to my cheeks. It’s madness!! The mall was just too crowded to shop. Everyone’s hands were all over the clothes or flipping hangers through its rack! You really need to have the energy to fight against the crowd. I feel like I lost a battle..

So what I did the next day is make my own Pesto Cheese Bread.  All I did was spread butter, top it with grated parmesan cheese and dried basil, toast it, and voila!  My very own Pesto Cheese Bread, and I think it’s more tastier and yummier than what I bought!
