Come Dine In

the table set up

Alyssa and I attended the christening of baby Allyza Mae last October 29 at Saint Dominic’s Church. I was so happy that the dishes served were Filipino dishes. Aside from my own cooking and my mother in law’s, I barely get to taste any Filipino dishes here in London because there were no pinoy restos around. My pretty girl wore a white and light blue top paired with a darker shade of blue tulle skirt, beige leggings and brown/gold floral shoes. I wore a metallic blue dress which I paired with a black long sleeves shrug. Does it looks like a prom dress? Haha

It was a fun filled event with games, dancing, lots of laughter, giggles and smiles. Welcome to the Christian World darling Allyza.

hungry anyone???

My daughter is indeed a pure-blooded Filipino. She doesn’t count any 12noon meal without rice a lunch. She is also not so into English food and her teacher confirmed that to me. I was told that she rarely touches her meals. We already considered her taking packed lunch instead, buy hubby is quite against it. He said she should learn to eat what’s given to her and maybe in time she’ll get used to the English meals – it’s better if she’s eating both Filipino and English foods. So I agreed.

But my dearest kumare suggested to give her rice as snacks every after school (3:30PM) to compensate for the supposedly lunch meals. This is just one of the few I have taken photos of. I said I will be documenting it, but you know… something came up and uhmm… uhmm… alright, no more alibis. I will try to look for the other pics in my folders as soon as I finish reading about this article about testosterone booster.
