a reunion of sort ...

29th january 2010 - nathan, the 3rd child of tess & henry vinas, celebrated his first birthday. as always, mom & dad never forget to invite us all, friends and colleagues from the old company, healthlines middle east and sportslines. the event became a sort-of-reunion for us all. we have not seen each other for quite some time - and i for one - haven't seen them for almost a year - i think! :o. jeff remarked that we only get the chance to see each other on baptism and birthdays of the kids! and i think this coming years, only birthdays will be there ! hahahaha.. well that is good - happy occasions --- di ba?!

souvenirs from the b-day boy!

a treasure box of goodies .. : we adults finished the chocos! hehehe

we got so engrossed on catching up with each other we almost forgot to take photos! hahahaha... i had a great time last friday evening - it was quite short but still... and i'm glad i was able to attend though i thought i would be canceling b'coz i suddenly felt dizzy again as i was on my way out. we had fun reminiscing the old days at HME & Sportslines, and they made fun of each other - teasing each other, and laughed about just everything in the past! and again , they made benilda (beng) guilty of sort - becoz of the aborted "planned reunion" that was supposed to take place some months ago..( hmm.. hindi ko yata nabalitaan yun?!?!)

and before we knew it kami na lang yata ang natitirang tao sa venue! it was quite late na - kids still have school the following day so nag-alisan na ang mga bisita after eatig ... hehhe .. "eat and run" ba daw !!! but we (again) promised to see each other soon .. i mean soon daw talaga .. while the weather is still cool... sa creek park daw next week-end .. whenever that "next week-end is!" hehehe however, we were able to take some snaps ....

1st table: beng, ellisa mae, tess, joyce

lunch date - 24th dec. '09

hay naku.. at nagbusy na naman si ako at naperde ang pag posting ko... p'sensiya na po! :D

eto na ang my litratos namin when we had lunch on 24th dec. pinoy nga naman - basta me klik - maligaya na . . :D.. natatawa (o natutuwa?!) nga sa amin yung ibang guests sa resto eh ...klik dito-klik dun .. hehehehe imbes na umorder na sila - sa amin pa rin nakatingin...

anyways, so ayun nagsi-orderan na nga at dumating na ang food, pero sa palagay nyo applicable yung " galit-galit muna" or "the line is busy"???? hindi po!!! super kasaya habang lumalafang!!... sad nga din lang kasi super namiss ko rin ang mga dati naming kasamahan. i was thinking - mas masaya pa if andito din sila ... ;( ... blame the "the global crunch kasi" .... ay sa totoo ka, lalo na si she... super hyper!... yung kasabihang "small but terrible" yon siya.. hehehe .. no dull moments with her... at laging dala ang camera niya .. sabi niya: " ate, kasi hindi ako handa!" hehehe

dito naman - yun nga si federico ang kasama namin - na super kulit din - nabusog yata ako sa hangin kakatawa sa mga kalokohan niya eh!. not really kalokohan-kalokohan, pero kasi the way he addresses things, dinadaan niya sa humor - pati na yung super alat na grilled salmon niya hehehe ... ayun tuloy me free dessert siya! hehehe (ganun lang daw - mag complain ka - me free ka! hahahaha siempre joke lang yun sa kanya - kasi naman medyo napaalat yung salmon .. as in hindi naman kami first time na kumain dun ano!

me kadugtong pa yan .. after lunch hehehehe
