Our Weekend Memoirs: David Foster & Friends Please scroll down for Sunday Stealing The Hitman, David Foster and his sidekicks finally performed live in my backyard last Monday. My ineptness at the camera has been a serendipity. I came up with halloween shots as well. Meet the ghosts of concert present: don't they shape up better than Casper? Opening score: Theme of the Calgary Olympics Mr Foster did his homework by remarking about the flood in the northeast. And here they are doing (Michael Jackson's) the Earth Song David Foster, Peter Cetera, Ruben Studdard, Natalie Cole, Charice, and The Canadian Tenors I went to this concert mainly for the household names and revel in memories of familiar titles: St. Elmo's Fire, Unforgettable, and many more. Peter Cetera can't reach his high notes anymore =) But it's okay. He's still The Inspiration. Besides I can't complain when someone half my age mistook me for a 20-something girl in the parking lot. But even if

Our Weekend Memoirs: Mabuhay Restaurant Scroll down for Sunday Stealing A cousin and I went shopping in Pratunam this past weekend. There is a Filipino restaurant there where we had lunch. I was thinking of fall colors. Look at that Bopis. I wonder what's that - This one I know though: beef caldereta. At home I remember there's only one aunt who can cook caldereta well. The one who owns a carenderia, lol... Our sinigang... Operation Tangigi. Slurp! This buko salad is obviously imported. The ice cream taste is very pinoy. Cousin Vi took home the rest of the sinigang and I took care of the caldereta. I still have some leftover in my fridge right now. (Along with the rest of the food I can't consume duh) I'll go heat the bahaw.

Our Weekend Memoirs: Roadside Fruit Stand Scroll down for Sunday Stealing Tupi is called the fruit basket of South Cotabato. It was only four months ago though that I really paid attention to the many fruits that I take for granted when I'm home. MG3, a pineapple label, is something new to me. The is the fruit stand in Kablon, a barangay near Dole, the pineapple giant. I bought loads of avocados. They're quite pricey in Bangkok. Whereas in SC 5 USD go a long way. We made several stops on our way home from the airport. This watermelon stand is in Gensan. Luckily, people at home are fruit eaters. It's no fun to eat alone.

We actually found the meme from Shius from the blog Addicted 2 Shius. Since this is a meme that has been going around for a while where you answer questions, and then add questions, we decided to use three sets. Kara explained that she was tagged by Life with the Lebedas. But it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go.

Our Weekend Memoirs: Marang Scroll down a bit for Sunday Stealing My former Education boss passes away. A couple of meters from the little church where her funeral was held, a wee stand of marangs beckons the wanderer in me. Only in da Pilipins . Pinoys often say or hear that phrase. I'm not sure where else does this fruit exist. The cortege inches out of the church yard. I whisper, "bye, Ma'am Arcon" and negotiate (read: haggle) the price of one of these marangs.

Our Weekend Memoirs: When old maids meet Please scroll down for Sunday Stealing A friend on the other side of the world mentioned this place. I discovered it's right down my backyard when I googled it. Since a co-old maid was game for a little exploration we went there last night. The name of this restaurant is apparently its most attractive feature. We punctuated the food with conservative-wild observations of 21st century old maidenhood. Ah, there's my Screwdriver. Reliable in penetration. "Don't these things come with a man?," we teased the server who gave us condoms instead of the usual mint candies after we settled the bill.

Our Weekend Memoirs: Yellow Please scroll down for Sunday Stealing The VP passed by, waving, "Mae, I got a meeting on the 12th floor..." shifting my reverie from Bonito chocolate cake to the realization that most of those I voted for in the latest national election are now in office. The convenience of absentee voting. A hanging similarity zooming into a daydreamer's line of vision. The Thai monarch and the new Philippine president have the same identity color.
