Drat, I look too dark, shouldn’t have gone swimming Friday afternoon, :)

Mommy lunch was held yesterday, May 26, 2007 at the Swiss Deli and Bistro along Pioneer Street in Mandaluyong. It was supposed to start at 11am but I got there half past twelve because I still had students until 11:30.

Anyway, it was fun seeing these virtual friends in person. Even if we had questions for each other, we were chatting like longtime friends. I sure do hope this is just the beginning of a good friendship with each and every one. After all, we do have one thing in common: we are mothers! Mothers who blog, of course.

Hello Julie, my seatmate in our lunch-out! It was good meeting all of you and having ‘small’ conversation with you. Looking forward to more of these.
:)

  • Hope we will have more of these mommy lunches. Glad to have met you in person, Lynn. :)

SexyMom said:

great to meet you all, dear MOMS!

it was a matter of connecting the FACES with the NAMES, and under such friendly environment, like every one knows the other.

am looking forward to the next one.

  • It was a lot of fun. I just hope we can have another one, :)

Jane said:

Julie, it is easy to overlook everything but the SMILES of everyone in this pic. Ang gaganda ng lahat ng mommies!

Lunch was too short to sit beside all of you and really get to know each one. But that is a GREAT excuse for another mommy lunch, di ba? Till the next one, see you in blogosphere!

  • Yes, indeed the lunch was too short (esp because I’m late, hahaha) because of the many things we can talk about. Hope to see you all again, :)

Rowena said:

hi teacher julie, hope you can also visit my site…i also would like to meet all mommy bloggers. di ba it’s nice to have so many friends who share the same interests. small world pa nga between us bec. as you’ve txtd you know pala my hubby’s family…hope to meet you soon…

  • Wenchie, I visited your site already. I hope you can join the PMN. It is really nice that I know the relatives/family of your husband. How’s that for ” online bonding”?

Chateau said:

I agree with Jane! 😀
It was great to finally meet you, mommies. We felt there was a connection among us already, only because we knew about each one’s kids, hobbies, jobs, etc because of blogging.

  • Funny to know details about each of us even if it was our first time to see each other in person. Had fun, hope we can have more of these, :)

Hi Julie. I had a great time too. It was a pleasure meeting you and the other mommy bloggers. It was my very first EB and glad that it was a favorable experience.

It feels good to meet new and interesting friends like you. I truly appreciate that moment I looked at you and you gave me a big, friendly smile and said “Hi Rach!” A small and yet very memorable gesture that I will always be grateful for. Hoping we can do it again some time soon. Take care!

  • Rach I just hope you didn’t get offended when I told you you were rather tall/big because you look petite in your photos. Next time, we will sit by each other and talk. I just hope I won’t be too busy so I won’t get late, :)

The mommy lunch…

Twelve members of the Pinoy Moms Network met for lunch yesterday. Some met the others for the first time. If I remember correctly, it was Cess who was the ice breaker because, according to her, she was not excited at all LOL.
Below are some photos (tak…

Julie, now i finally have a face to connect with your blog. you have a great smile! don’t worry about being a little dark as you look good dark or not.

  • Now I’m thinking about putting my photo in my blog. Will choose from the old ones, hahaha. The dark comment was like a joke. My family and I went swimming last Friday afternoon. :)

Looked like you had a blast! Gaganda nyo!
And Teacher Julie looks like a student!
:) No wonder your kids (of your own and in class) can relate well with you.

Rowena, I didn’t make it .. i didn’t sign up because my inlaws are in town. Are you new?

  • Thanks Annamanila for saying I look like a student (hope not a grad student taking Ph.D., hahaha). I oohed and aahed when a student told me last week that she likes me. I asked her why and she said “Because you’re cool. And you make me laugh and feel good. ” Ow. Wow. Rowena is also a virtual friend whose husband’s family has kids that I worked with, early on in my career as a special ed teacher. No, we haven’t met too, But I think she likes you. :)

I did nothing but say “Nakakainggit”, totoo naman.
You all had a great time & it’s unfortunate I cannot fly in hehe
But at least I have pictures to ogle.

  • Would have wanted to take more photos but I was shy. Arrived late, around 12:30 or so because I had students till 11:30am. Hope to see you Auee when you come visit the Philippines, :)
