Shangri-la

Today we met with the party coordinator at the Shangri-la for some last minute details on Mommy & Daddy’s 50th Wedding Anniversary. Now this is one beautiful hotel.

Auntie Presy & Auntie Puring arrived today from San Diego and we met them at the Makati Sports Club for lunch. While waiting, Alex got a good workout and a swim.

Dinner was at the Rallos house and I finally got a photo of camera shy Princess… well kinda.

Sky

Okay, after 2 days of giving Sky (Pinky & Tante’s Rottweiller) pig ear treats she still wants to kill me. So I’ve given up trying to get on her good side. We’ve been told that when Sky is taken for a walk, it takes 2 to control her. When she realizes that they are headed back home, she’ll plop herself in the middle of the street and refuse to move. Which means she needs to be carried back to her kennel. I would love to get a photo of that but at the same time I don’t want to have her caretakers endure the strain.

Today I found out that Sky is scared of my camera. While it was amusing, it also made it impossible to photograph her.

Philippines Day 2

Jetlag still has a hold of me so I woke up at 4:30am today. After a little geek time on the PC, I started out on breakfast #1. Half an hour later when the rest of the household got up, I hit breakfast #2.

We rounded everyone up and went to the Makati Sports Club where we had lunch in 3 batches, Alex hit the gym, the nieces went swimming, I got a haircut, mom visited the beauty salon and we all watched a bowling match pitting Brian against Alex.

We later went to Mommy & Daddy’s house for dinner #1, then to Pinky’s for dinner #2.

I still have yet to take a single photo, so needless to say these photos are all from Sandy.
