View from my hotel window

 was planning to blog as much as I can while I am here in the US. I got too busy however with work, meetings and more meetings so I have to forgo the blogging part of my trip to the US. One highlight, and something I've been looking forward to, was snow. Yup, I prayed for snow and I got a snow storm last Tuesday. I was snowed in the hotel, watched snow fall and tried to catch up some sleep. Well, here's the view from my hotel window that day. 

Snow's melting a bit, so it's much colder these days. Nakakatamad tuloy maglakwatsa!

St Louis in a few hours

I leaving for the US in a couple hours. So this blog is gonna be busy with my adventures there, not just food of course! I'll be missing my baby but I know I'm leaving her in good hands.

Here at the Centennial Airport, lots of passengers while I'm here getting started again with blogging. Be sure to be back here for more stories to tell.

PS- Missing GenSan already.

Her name is Pasta...

It took me some to finally name her, but I've decided to call her Pasta. For so many reasons, foremost of which is that I had a small black dog once named Pasta (1989-1999). Now, I've got a soon-to-be big black dog. That's how long I've loved eating pasta dishes. Since high school! Life in GenSan is almost complete!

Now, this girl is really, really playful! Striking a pose here and there...

Playing with her favorite toy.

Curious as a cat.

She knows how to sit and lie down, too!

You're probably wondering who won the Team Pacquiao shirt, right? Thanks to all of you joined my contest. For a while, I was torn between Midnight and Sandwich, but I really wasn't to keen on calling her that. I listed down all the commenters here, also those that commented on Orman's repost and used Random.org to select the winner:

And # 12 on my list is Leonard Pe!!! Thanks to all who joined my mini-contest.

The PBA and me

I haven't watched a PBA in so many years, I was really excited to watch my first live PBA game right here in GenSan. Thanks to GenSan News Online Magazine and Paperview for a free all access pass I was able to get a premium seat right behind the basket. Right where the action is.

Most of the players are new although I saw some old faces. Gosh, the players I remembered then were Paras and Magsanoc and that was when the Shell team was still around. Yeah, I rooted for Shell then. The only one I really remembered was Kenneth Duremdez who was there as coach for the Coca Cola Tigers. And that's who we sort of "stalk" to get our pictures taken!

          All smiles after the game.
