Impromptu Coffee Date

We had an impromptu coffee date last Saturday after my work together with two of my ATF girls, Dialyn and Shiela. Parang last weekend lang magkakasama kami ah.We met up in front of Starbucks (haha, I know) before we headed to Figaro.

Figaro Coffee Company opened 2 weeks ago here in Lipa. Their branch is located in the newly opened building along Ayala Highway near Lipa Medix Hospital. Although a bit small compare to their other branch, they still managed to maintain that perfect relaxing coffee shop ambiance. Very homey.

love the splash of color.

Figaro cakes and pastries.

I was craving for pasta that time so I gave in to pasta Arrabiatta paired with my Blackberry Mocha frost and Blueberry Cheesecake. Yum! Shiela ordered the same thing then for dessert she chose Banana Espresso Loaf while Dialyn tried their new Pasta Ala Carlo (or something like that basta may Carlo sa dulo.hehe.) paired with her caramel frost and skipped dessert.

 you made my tummy happy! :)

 I look forward to try the Banana Berry Frost Delight next time! :)

ATF Girls Instant Get Together

Long weekend is the best time to bond with the girls since we're all complete attendance. Well almost, since the pregnant Nancy is in Manila that time and she wasn't able to join us again. Like what I've mentioned before here and here, we make it a point to see each other during important occasions in each other's lives.

Our inaanak Heinrich (Shiela's son) celebrated his 2nd birthday intimately last Sunday with only his immediate relatives, ninangs, playmates (our respective kiddo) plus his tito allan (my hubby love who's our ever-reliable driver in times like this since Shiela's place is far from us) as his guests. The couple prepared the usual party foods which includes spaghetti, pansit lomi, lumpiang shanghai,fruity graham cake, ice cream and of course the birthday boy's chocolate cake which we enjoyed a lot.

T'was hours of endless chikahan for us girls and endless playtime for the kids. Parang kelan lang kami pa yung naglalaro and now yung mga anak na namin.how time flies! (my favorite line here in my blog,you noticed?)

 wala man lang nakangiti sa mga kids, for the ladies, it's the other way around. forgive my "Lobo" eyes, huma-halloween effect eh.

 spell HAPPINESS!

bes Mabs son Arkin and of course my Xian.mag-bff na din dalawang yan.lol.

Xian and Rich,sabi ni Xian "karera daw sila.."

Happy birthday again Heinrich, may Papa Jesus bless you with all the love and happiness. May you grow up to be the fine young man your mom and dad wants you to be, may all your dreams come true, same thing with your little sister Hershie. When you're all grown up, I know that you, Xian, Arkin, Hershie, Miguel (Nancy's soon to be born son) plus the future ATF babies will all be friends just like us. Always remember that we love you so much! kisses!
