It was a wonderful sunset view on January 4, 2008 that I had on my inlaw’s rooftop deck as I waited for my husband and children to come pick me up. They stayed in the house while I stayed in hubby’s family’s house to have my Enrichment sessions with my students.

When they arrived, we went to TriNoma. I saw Lynn on the way to Five Cows Resto and Ice Cream Bar where we will have our dinner. Hubby and the kids are going to spend some time at TimeZone, an arcade place where the children love to play Air Hockey and Battle Gear while I am going to spend some time with friends I met through blogs: Cookie, Chateau and Lynn. Rowena wasn’t able to make it because her child Gabby got sick. Cess, on the other hand had a party to go to. One of our common denominators aside from being mommy bloggers is that we are members of PinoyMomsNetwork.

Lynn, me (nope, I am NOT preggers, just have this bulk that won’t go away :D), Chateau and Cookie

We had a great time getting to know each other more. More because funny but we know a lot about each other through our blog posts even if we do not send time with each other in person. We were hungry I guess and forgot to take photos of the food we had We only thought of doing that for dessert.

We vowed will be doing this on a regular basis. In fact we just had a dinner last Friday night (January 25, 2008) which I still have to write about. And the post is now published here.

Chateau’s blueberry cheesecake.

Lynn’s tiramisu twirl.
