This beautiful lady is celebrating her birthday today!
Not only she is my cousin by marriage but my wonderful best friend who shares the same passion with me and that is heart. She loves the color burgundy. She very much LOVES her 3 adorable kids, Cess, April and Kyle. I so admire her tenacity and willing to learn everything. She is an intelligent lady. Love her to pieces.
A friend to everybody
Celebrating Thanksgiving with my familia at their new place. I like their place...it's a 2 bedroom and I like the screen that Raquel had picked out. The Turkey this year came out quite good as I have to say coz' Raquel bought lemon grass which I put in the cavity of the young turkey.
Here is the spread!
Here are some pics of the in-law of Raquel, Mel & Mom's place.
Dollace invited me to their BBQ @their home...the weather was just perfect for a BBQ. There was so much food and all I did was eat. I got there around 11:30 am and Jenny was there already making a pasta dish with two kind of cheese (Pecorino and Parmesan). I really liked it a lot. Dollace also made at the BBQ chicken with the marinade (OMG, it was so good! Sold out!) For dessert she had Pichi-pichi from Claire's. I never drank so much Sprite to go with all the wonderful and yummy food.
This is the barrel BBQ grill which Patrick's dad makes for their business.
Rhonna, Brian and Raymond hangin' out near the garage...perfect weather but it was a bit windy.
A lovely orchid on the kitchen counter.
Lychee is so cute....he wanted to get corn from Jenny he was begging her to give him a Kernel

Leilani is the daughter of Mark PIngol and Zuleimy who celebrated her Baptismal at the Our Lady of Peace Church in Santa Clara @2pm. The God parents were Joshua and Rosal. The reception was held in the Agnew Park (Hall) 5 minutes from the church. There was so much yummy food and I was surprised to see a lot of the family was there.

We, then had our dinner at Applebee's (I love their steaks there)
See my Tabblo> We celebrated my cousin, Randy's birthday @ Gulliver's in Burlingame. It is a restaurant inspired from Gulliver's Travel. When you first take sight of the restaurant it looks like a medieval sorta house/restaurant, pretty cool, actually. The waiters and the waitresses are dressed up in a period costume and the interior of the restaurant is decorated w/awesome antiques as you might see on some of the pix here. Every one had prime rib I think. I really loved the creamed corn, that was really good!
We had the sampler appetizer w/c had the calamari and mozarella sticks.
