Meets with PMN Moms in Pinas

My husband told me, a few days after coming from our vacation: 'You know what, this is the first vacation in Manila where we were always meeting people almost every night!' Well, he was right. I am a loyal friend and I do tend to keep them for a long, long time... In fact, everytime I go back home; there are reunions left and right -- from the childhood friends, to the classmates from grade school, high school and the university; to my former officemates and the casual acquaintances; and of course, the long list of relatives and god children!

And then I started blogging. Blogging introduced me to a lot of people who I now consider special people, friends really. Those people would include the Pinay moms of PMN. And I did get to meet with them during our vacation in Manila this year. What can I say, 'wow!'. And here I am sharing the fun photos.

Chateau, Annamanila, Jane, Sexymom, Noemi and I with the kids and my hubby at The Old Spaghetti House to celebrate the birthday of Sexymom. I just happened to dial Sexymom's number and then she invited us to come, gatecrashers we are:D

Here was the fun part, we got lost! Read the story here.


And then again, with more PMN moms at Burgoo, The Podium. I love this restaurant because the kids get to draw on their prepared-for-drawings table cloths; complete with crayons. And of course, the food! You should try the seafood salad, yummy.

Who were present? Sexymom, Noemi, Cookie, Rowena, Rachel (who travelled from a long, long far away Batangas - thanks, Rach for the thoughtful gifts for the kids), Feng, Lynn, and Teacherjulie.

And the kids were there, too -- Cookie's bubbly bundles and Rowena's very shy and clingy cuties, hehehe. MC got busy with Adi and Gaby while IC decided to stick with Papa. I think IC suddenly found it too much! Let me tell you, it was great meeting them. They were my blogging family, I would like to ask them to adopt me, ahahaha. We had a fun time exchanging stories, taking photos, and picking from and/or tasting each other's food, and sharing the box of chocolate that escaped my mom's notice :D I am really sorry I missed Megamom, Lady Cess, Mayi and Annalyn.

And yes, I would love to meet with them again -- with the kids, please! I hope then we could talk longer :D It is really refreshing to be laughing together, not simply giggling in front of the computer!

Natakot siguro si IC kina Gaby at Adi :)

Mga giant kasi. But they really can't stop retelling their tales of the girl who wasn't talking at first but became their friend later on. Naku, hit na hit sa kanila si Ate Clea.

It was great meeting you and the family. Hope to do that again :D
