Here's another backlog... :p

Father's day is celebrated every 3rd Sunday of June, and for this year it fell on the 19th, a day after my parents' wedding anniversary.

My dad intentionally cooked a lot during their wedding anniversary lunch so that he wouldn't have to cook the day after, since we usually hear early morning mass and have a stroll in malls on Sundays.

We just bought some appetizers and desserts from Red Ribbon to add up to the feast. :)

Chocolate Fudge Cake and Leche Flan Roll

Pork and Chicken Empanada

Cheese Rolls

And these were his Father's Day gifts:

Last Saturday, June 18, was my parents' 28th Wedding Anniversary. And as usual, we celebrated the occasion by having a scrumptious feast. But we wanted to have some sort of a different feel so we ate on banana leaves. :)

Mommy and Daddy, after 28 years of being in love ♥♥♥

I was busy with a lot of things this past few weeks so I haven't had the chance to update my blog. My backlogs are already piling up, most of them I don't think I still want to post, but this one I thought I needed to share.*wink*

May 31st marked the end of the initial 3-month vegetarian diet and medications that my OB prescribed. I did a pretty good job in sticking with the diet and my daddy thought that I should be rewarded haha! So the following weekend, I was able to indulge in this scrumptious meals! :p

I was having fruits and veggies for almost 3 months and I don't think my tummy can handle big meals yet, so daddy thought of cooking chicken and fish plus veggies so as not to overwhelm my tummy.

Saturday Feast: Roasted Chicken and Dinengdeng

The first bite of the chicken leg was heaven for me! The crispy chicken skin and tender juicy meat were what I really missed! *drools*

Roasted Chicken

Fresh raw veggies and fresh fruits were what filled me for the past 3 months, and so veggies with some hint of saltiness were really something new for my palates. I also enjoyed eating this one! Yummy!

Dinengdeng

My tummy was already warmed up and was ready for another food battle haha! And so here's what I had the next day. :p

Sunday Feast: Beef and Cream Dory Steak, Creamy Tuna Fettuccine, Mixed Veggies, and Mashed Potatoes

The mashed potatoes and mixed veggies were what I ate first.

Mixed Veggies

Then next were the pasta and the steaks.

Creamy Tuna Fettuccine

I really enjoyed my plate! The beef and cream dory steaks were what I loved the most! This has been my largest meal after almost 3 months of strict diet! *drools*

Went back to my OB on the afternoon for another checkup and was told that my medication still needs to be continued for another 3 months (at least). I was also advised to continue with the diet and good thing I can now include chicken and fish (preferably steamed or boiled). I was a bit sad, but oh well, at least I was able to indulge in delicious meals even just for 2 days! :p

Last Saturday, May 14, was my baby brother's 9th birthday. We celebrated his birthday by having a pool party. Tita Ching wasn't able to come but she sent these birthday cakes for Jaoey. :)

The sun was scorching so we decided to have the pool party after lunch up until midnight.

Daddy cooked spaghetti, grilled hotdogs, and pork barbecue for merienda.
