POST-POST NA POST-POST

Dapat sana ay nagmeet kami last December for Christmas celebration pero hindi nangyari dahil sa kaabalahan.

Dapat sana ay nagmeet kami last January for New Year's fellowship pero hindi rin nangyari dahil pa rin sa kaabalahan.

Dumating ang February at puwede naman sanang Valentine's gathering pero hindi pa rin natuloy dahil HINDI NGA MATULOY-TULOY. Hahahahaha!

Pero yesterday, at last, natuloy na ang overdue meet up.  At lahat ng mga celebrations na hindi natuloy ay pinagsama-sama na doon. Post Christmas Celebration, Post New Year Celebration, Post Chinese New Year Celebration and Post Valentine's Celebration.  In short, Post-Post na Post-Post ang natuloy naming gawain. Hahahaha!

Saan bang venue ang nakaka-puspos?  Siyempre pa sa mga eat-all-you can na mga restaurants.  And speaking of buffet restaurant, ano pa ba ang madalas na bukambibig ng karamihan kundi ang ...

The Ultimate Buffet Experience
I  had ever been so far!

2 pm pa lang nasa SM North EDSA na si Mommy Leony (the one in the middle in the photo above) para mauna kami sa mga walk-in customer na pipila.  I tried having reserved seat thru the internet but  it should have been done much much earlier.

Mabuti naman at number one nga kami sa mga walk-in.  I arrived sa Viking's at past 5 pm.  5:30 pm ang simula ng dinner at mag end ng 10 pm.  

Immediately after kami papasukin and were ushered to our table, both of them asked  me to start getting my food.

My first plate.
Bits and pieces different meals.

I decided not to eat any rice to prevent me becoming full right away.  Nonetheless, nakakabusog pa rin ang kinuha ko.

My second plate.
I love salads kaya hindi
puwedeng hindi ako kumuha nito.

In between meals siyempre ay kuwentuhan.  May ilang times na rin kaming nagkaroon ng meal fellowship nila Mommy Juling at Mommy Leony pero ito lang huli ko narealized na sila ay dalawa sa mga babae na mahilig na magtrabaho.  

Mommy Juling and Mommy Leony after a good meal
was having a good chat.

Mommy Juling is long past her retirement age but her zeal as an employee in a private hospital keeps her  working  because they still want her to work for them.  And I admire her for that.

Mommy Juling:  Pastor, hangga't kaya ng dalawang paa ko at kamay magtratrabaho ako. Kaya kahit pinahihinto na ako sa pagtratrabaho e ayaw kong huminto.  Kaya mahirap din ang masyadong submissive na asawa.

Mommy Leony:  Oo nga! 

Yap, pareho silang "working girls" material pero hindi sila parehong "yes girls" sa kanilang husbands. Hahahaha!  Kay Mommy Leony naman tayo.  She used to work in Hallmark Publishing.  By the time her husband decided to put up a business of their own, he asked Mommy Leony to stop.  And she did at nag-business na nga lang silang mag-asawa.

But in fairness naman kay Mommy Leony, now that all her children have their respective families, she is just enjoying to the fullest the blessings that her children pour on her.  Tapos sa pag-aaral at may mga stable jobs ang kanyang mga anak.  Ganoon din naman si Mommy Juling.

While listening to them, there are so many wishes that popped into my mind.  How I wish I would be as zealous workers as them.  How I wish I could have children as generous as theirs.  How I wish, we can have more buffet restaurants to dine in:)

I like it Hot and Sour! The Hot
and Sour Soup

A mixture of Japanese, Korean
and French Fool in one plate

Mommy Leony shared that his youngest son who is working in a big company and earning a huge amount would like to put up his own business instead.  Mommy Leony is against his son's plan.  According to her, it is better to expect a regular pay than to engage in business.  Based on her experience, she discourages anybody to involve in business.  Being a mom, she is preventing her children to sacrifice the same.  Well, mothers will always be mothers,  protective (twice over):)

Cream of Mushroom Soup

After my three serving of meals, I felt that it was time for dessert.

Selected Fruits.  Why did I miss
grapes and other fruits?

Avocado and Ube Ice Cream

When I thought that I was done with the dessert, Mommy got me another one ...

Hindi ko na nagawang magtry pa ng ibang drinks.  Nagkasya na lang ako sa apple cinnamon na drinks.  Wish I could taste all the foods that Vikings has to offer.  Marami pa talaga akong hindi natikman.  Kahit pala hindi ako kumain ng kanin at kaunti nito at kaunti niyan ang kainin ko, mabubusog pa rin talaga ang aking tiyan.  Samahan pa ng masayang usapan

Nangako naman ang aking dalawang Mommies na may sunod pa kaming matitikman.  Hindi ko lang tiyak kung anong POST CELEBRATIONS ang aming pagsasaluhan:)
