Summer Lunch

Hosted a BBQ lunch at our place yesterday.
Our pinoy close friends came over to have pika-pika with us under the nice sunny weather.

Tonton cooked sausage barbeque and I made leche flan for dessert.

The kids enjoyed running around the compound and played with Lori inside our apartment.

At the gazebo area, we simply setup two long tables, had potluck food, chitchat with our guests... and voila! A fun summer get-together! :)

brighton beach

early last week, tonton & I and of course with the family (vincent, joni & anya) decided to plan a beach trip for the long weekend ahead. we initially planned to go to st. kilda beach. but one of vincent's colleagues told him that brighton beach is also a nice place for a summer escapade. so we tried to look for a hotel where we can stay overnight. luckily, we were able to make reservations in brighton savoy hotel which is just across the beach site.




i really enjoyed the two days we spent in the place. the beach is really suited for family outing. it was not so crowded compared to st. kilda. the water is clean and not polluted, perfect for snorkeling.

here's me posing with the famous colorful bathing boxes along brighton shore.




then here are some of the beach shots we did during friday afternoon.








then we had dinner at one of the affluent restos in brighton.



sadly, we were not able to go back to the beach the next morning because it was so windy and cold (with some rains) outside. but for sure, we will be planning our next trip to this place. can't wait!
