SM Fairview....

since the SM Fairview Mall is a bit far from our Mandaluyong, we left our place at 4:00 pm (even though our appointment with tita normie wasn't until 7:00 pm!). while waiting for our appointment, we toured the whole mall.... and would you believe..... we saw a chinese porcelain vase dealer selling clay teapots on sale!!! Eeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! we were able to add 3 more teapots to our collection!!!

after touring the rest of the mall, we decided to have something to bite at pizza hut.....

at 7:00 pm, we met up with tita normie and her friend, Ms. Salud..... and we had an all-Filipino dishes dinner at Max's Restaurant consisting of camaron rebosado, crispy pata, sweet & sour fish fillet, fried chicken, sinigang na hipon, and garlic rice.

dinner was fun and we had a grand time updating each other on what's happening to our respective lives. after dinner, we brought tita normie and ms. salud home.... where she gave us the padala of diko, ate nette, and gino for mommy & daddy, for kuya, gwen, & gail, and for jon and i!!! thank you guys for the goodies!!!
