Throwback Thursday: AMGURLS and Rocio's Birthday

These are my mommy friends and our kids. I think this was in 2004 when Rocio celebrated her birthday in Jollibee Pioneer.

AMGURLS was the name coined by MayA for our mommy group. We all met in cyberspace, being members of a parenting group. That was in the early Y2K. The name of the group was sort of a pun because we don't usually meet when the sun is still shining but during evenings because most of them are working in offices. Get-togethers then were called EBs (eyeballs). There are 13 members in our group and some are absent in this gathering.

Salcedo Market x Legaspi Market Tour

We haven't visited the weekend markets for years so I was giddy with excitement because I was able to visit both Salcedo and Legaspi markets this month, thanks to our Dusit Thani Manila staycation . To differentiate the two, Salcedo market is held every Saturday at the Jaime Velasquez Park in Salcedo Village Makati while Legaspi market is held every Sunday at the Corinthian Carpark in Legaspi Village Makati. Since we were coming from Dusit Thani Manila, it was quite a long walk but it was early in the morning (around 8AM) and even Ayala and Makati Avenues were still without cars. Wow!

Boracay's Hidden Gem: Mama's Fish House

I've always wanted to dine at Mama's Fish House in Boracay but wasn't able to for some forgotten reasons already. Then the pandemic happened and we're in lockdown or limited travel movement for almost two years. And guess what? One of the nicest thing to happen on our recent trip to Boracay was to discover that Mama's Fish House was located just outside the beach front of our hotel- Microtel by Wyndham Boracay . Talk about serendipity!
