This past weekend we headed down to Makati to run a few errands and also spend some time with our good friends the Huehne Family. Liza, Mattie & I went to this province town Pililla to pick up her new maid & also to drop by for her friend's birthday party. She didn't tell me until we stopped in front of this funeral parlor that the party was up on the rooftop...if you saw my face you would die laughing hahaha. Definitely a first for me but it wasn't as bad as I thought since this was where they only sell the caskets and not the actualtualeral home. Of course with any filipino parties there will be a karaoke machine & lechon baboy (roasted pig). The birthday girl, Sarah, was entertaining guests all day; Filipino culture is that it is an open invite so expect the whole town to show up for food & merriment;-) I also got a Pililia souvenir on my arm...got bitten somehow:-( We stopped at this cute lil coffee shop; Had southwest feel to it and made me think of home. On our way back to Makati we had the driver dropped us off @ Greenhills for a lil shopping spree for gifts to take back for family & friends in the states. Time flys when you are having fun becuz before we knew it we were getting texts from the guys. Must be dinner time hahaha. When we finally got to the condo both Michaels, Charles & Tata from the band The Bottleneck were either laying around or sleeping; Must have been buzzed from drinking @ Havanna Cafe. After driving in circles around Manila Bay (Malate area) we finally found the Seafood Market Restaurant. Chinese restaurant but looks like a supermarket...fresh seafood & veggies you can pick out and have it cook anyway you want. Too bad I left my cam @ Liza's place & my cell in the car. Awesome dinner with awesome friends! We didn't venture out after dinner cuz Charles has a recording early in the morning & truth be told we were all stuffed!! Sunday lunch was @ Hooters in Manila Bay. Good but not as good as back home. It is always a pleasure to spend time with the Huehne family. Then it was a long hour & half ride home.
