(Mother) Bloggers at Burgoo

Shelved under About Town, Interesting tidbits, My Thoughts, Snapshots

Raquel or Kengkay came and conquered us all.

Lynn and I got to the venue around 6pm and waited outside. Then there’s Feng who was already in the restaurant, Burgoo at The Podium Ortigas Center.

Then she arrived, with her husband and two daughters! And I think I said, “Raqueeeelll!” Then I gushed how beautiful her two daughters are.

Dine and Noemi arrived together.

Then there’s Wenchie and her kids.

Rachel who traveled all the way through SLEX from the South.

Then Cookie with her big little girls.

The food we ordered arrived and guess what? Out came the cameras so that we could post something like this:

My fish and chips platter.

Talk, talk and more talk followed.

Raq with MC and IC, Dine, Noemi, Cookie with Gaby, Wenchie with Bea, Feng, Rachel, Lynn and me.

It was like a high school reunion (really?) but more. We know a lot about each other than maybe our neighbors combined,or even updates about other friends. We know each others’ children’s names, husbands’ names and even some of the intimate details of our family lives. We read each other’s thoughts, fears, dreams and opinions.

I am glad to have met these wonderful ladies. Thank you for a great time. Till our next get-together :)

Rach (Heart of Rachel) said:

I agree Julie, even though we don’t see each other often, I feel as if I have known you for a long time because of the things we share through blogging.

  • So true, Rachel, so true. I did not even think my blogging reach me this level, I mean knowing others through blogs and developing great friendships. Thank you :)

I had a wonderful time too T. Julie during our dinner date. :) am looking forward to the next meetup.

at BTW, natawa ako sa reply mo sa text ko. at alam mo talagang ako yun ha. heehee, haba kasi nung text ko eh, that’s why.

  • Not only that, and the words are spelled correctly too. Ganyan din ako magtext for those who I text na bago lang. But those that I have been texting for some time, me konting abbreviation na :D Pero I make sure na maiintindihan naman kasi baka lalo lang gumulo.
