Holy Week 2011
Immediate disclaimer before I begin 
- food pics to follow… if and when the brother in law decides to give me a copy.
Thursday – As always, we went to 14 churches to fulfill a family tradition, that is visita iglesia; one church along C5, near Eastwood made us carry a cross! Quite heavy but overall a pleasant experience because at least we got to at least try and carry a cross and walk under the heat of the sun.
Friday – Instead of fasting and prayer, BQ invited his mom and brother to go to Nuvali, and so we all did. Since there’s really nothing to do there, we went straight to Tagaytay and ate too much at Sonya’s Garden. For only Php 610 per head, we had unlimited salad (with dressing, etc.), unlimited salmon pasta, and unlimited dalandan juice!
–> Super sulit, fresh, delish, and filling! Did not like the ants I saw everywhere (yes, even on our tables) though…
Saturday – Another pig out session… went to C’ Italian Dining in Clark Pampanga to try their famous panizza (where Yellow Cab copied their Dear Darla).
To those who are not familiar, this resto is famous for their C’ SUPER CLASSIC FRESHLY BAKED PANIZZA (approx Php 600+ and good for 3 people), Chef Chris Locher’s masterpiece. Panizza is a rectangular thin crust pizza, served and eaten with arugula and alfalfa sprouts.
We also tried 2 of their risottos – Risotto Kristina – Php 600+ (salmon, prawns, asparagus, broccoli, and finished with tender mushrooms and white truffle oil) and Risotto Frutti di Mare – Php 700+ (salmon, marlin, prawns, mussels blended with tomato and saffron-flavored parmesan risotto).
Their SLOW ROASTED LAMB RIBS IN AROMATIC SPICE RUB (Php 890) was a pleasant surprise. Even though I’m not really into Lamb, theirs is actually delicious and tender.
Lastly, we ordered pasta but wasn’t able to taste it anymore, I was sooo full and not to mention, it was around 9 p.m. already when we ordered that.
Sunday – I just went to the salon to have my hair and nails done – at last! And then went to church service in the afternoon. One important lesson learned, everything means nothing without Him. We must not let ourselves be a prisoner of this world by following what it dictates; instead, let us live a meaningful life by doing what He wants us to 
.
Happy Easter everyone!
Sporty
So……!
I’ve been very busy these past few weeks campaigning for my presidential bet ;p To my fb friends, I know that I’ve been pestering you with videos, pictures, and links… sorry about that but I need to at least try and introduce you to the man who has restored my hope for a better Philippines. I’m proud to say that Sen. Richard Gordon has truly inspired me in so many ways… *sigh
Okay enough about politics, this post is supposed to update you with the recent happenings in my life. To start off, hubby and I have successfully engaged ourselves in not one, but two types of sport wee!
We’ve been running regularly for a month or two and so far so good! We are both following the “Couch to 5k” program in iPhone/iTouch. At the end of this program, we should be able to finish a 5k run without stopping (i wish!) . And yes, we are really trying to take this thing seriously – imagine me driving from MOA to UP once or twice a week just to practice. We usually finish at around 11 PM… tsk.
As for our first formal run, we recently joined the Greenfield Sunset Run in Laguna and both of us have successfully finished the 5k run in less than an hour yey!
So, this is how I looked when I was just about to finish the race… ew!
Aside from running, we’ve also been attending boxing at Elorde Katipunan every Saturday. My favorite part? The post boxing stretching and massage c/o coach Erwin ;p
We usually pay 250 per 1.5 hour session but since we registered ourselves as members for only 500 per year, we got the discounted rate of 200 per session. We also got further discout (per session rate down to 150) by buying 5 sessions in advance.
Here’s our gloves:
Until my next post!
