Personal: new baby again, christening celebration

Hey everyone! I really don't like the weather in Manila for the past 2 weeks. I'm still sick but better than yesterday =D

Another personal update: Last Saturday, we attended the christening celebration of our college friends' new baby boy. The parents were our thesis mates back in college hehe. They named their baby "Nathan"....owww he reminded me of the hunk in One Tree Hill =D

I like the place where the Christening was held. They have a separate room for this special ceremony. I just can't remember the name but it was a church in a subdivision near UP Diliman...

Pretty mom with the cute baby. She gave birth just last April 5...you can't really notice noh?


Reception was held at Albergus. (one of the most popular catering services in the Philippines http://www.alberguscatering.com/)


Appetizers:

I love green mangoes (esp the super sour) with shrimp paste, sweet chili anchovies, sea weeds, friend sweet potato and chicken drumsticks =D

They served mostly Filipino dishes. My fave was the karekare. (Wikipedia - Kare-kare is a Philippine stew. It is made from peanut sauce with a variety of vegetables, stewed oxtail, beef, and occasionally offal or tripe)

He was sleeping all day.

Too bad I was already sick that day. I wasn't able to hold him :(

College friends...We used to be 15 but most of them are abroad or busy with their work =(

They gave us a cute pad for the souvenir.


Tired of my personal update? I'll try to post a more interesting blog tomorrow hehe =D Have a great day!
