Something that I believe is unique to the Philippine culture is the Balikbayan Box. Balik means returning, Bayan means home. For the most part they are universal in size 24 x 24 x 24. They are filled with precious goodies from the US to bring back home to friends and family. Courier services will deliver Balikbayan …

Weekend Pass
Ah, it was a quick visit for Mommie. Today we had a leisurely Pilipino breakfast of fried eggs, rice and smoked Trout. After some last minute shopping to fill her Balikbayan Box (more on this later) we had dinner at Il Fornaio in Burlingame. Then it was off to the SFO to bid her goodbye.

Sandy just picked up Mommie from SFO and true to form we have our priorities straight… we got take out from Popeye’s.
Pacific Grove

Weekend in Paradise

UFC Fowl

This is so funny for me because while the larger ducks fight for dominance, the younger ducks don’t care and just eat all the food. In this featherweight match Harold and Denny square off. They get in a clench. Harold gets …
