Randomnities
It’s been a while since I posted something random. I also notice people tend to reply more when there are a variety of topics in a post, and I’m lonely for comments. Hahaha.
CONTI’S TURTLE PIE
Cathy had been craving for a cake from Conti’s, having heard nothing but good things about this Paranaque- and Greenhills-based bakeshop. Finally, last week, we passed by Conti’s and ordered Conti’s Turtle Pie, because the bestselling Conti’s Mango Bravo had sold out for the day.
Conti’s turtle pie is beyond words. Sensational! This refrigerator cake from Conti’s is sweet - but not too sweet - and cold, with delightful pecans, rich mousse, and a crumbly cookie crust. Absolutely incredible! We love Conti’s.
NATHAN’S NEW TABLE
Last Saturday, I bought Nathan a table because I wanted him to have a homebase of his own size where he could color his coloring books, work on his clay, watch television, and basically do everything he needed to do without lounging around on or dirtying up the family sofa. This is what it looks like, and for less than P600, I’m happy with it. The woman with him is his nanny, Letty, a sweet, hardworking woman who’s blessed us time and time again. Nathan’s in decent hands.
AMANDA GRIFFIN HAS FALLEN FROM GRACE
This fallen Karimadon billboard, featuring former MTV VJ Amanda Griffin, caused a heckuva lot of traffic. We were late for church! Hahaha.
Only by God’s grace. Look at that. The edge of the Karimadon billboard slammed into the Boni station of the EDSA MRT, preventing death, no doubt; if that building weren’t there, or if the billboard were smaller, Amanda’s likeness would’ve likely smashed onto the highway itself, possibly injuring or killing scores of commuters who would’ve been crushed under the billboard or slammed into it at the speeds most buses and cars hurtle at on EDSA.
comments, ahoy!
(cake) looks delish! yum yum! i’ll try to find that shop, would you know where in pque it is?
(table) cute table for a cute boy! that’s really nice, let’s him have his own place/thing in the world of adults. good to hear that you have a good yaya for your son - it’s so hard to find good and trustworthy people.
(billboard) it took me a while to remember who amanda griffin was. pretty girl, shampoo commercials and avon endorser, i think? wow, good thing nothing worse happened.
Comments ahoy!
It’s in Better Living.
The one in Greenhills is about three minutes away from Fitness First. I think it’s a conspiracy. 
Nathan LOVES his table, and his yaya. He thanks God for her every night. Sometimes, first billing pa iyan.
Yeah, it’s a good thing about that billboard. Thankfully, no one was crushed, well, save maybe for Karimadon and the owners of the billboard. *chuckle*
nakakagutom mister dean, can i copy the pic of the billboards, will use it for my computer journalism class [photoshop]
Be my guest, forg.
My three-year old has a little desk he calls his “office.” They really take pride in their things. (Now if we only had a live-in nanny here in the States, hehe).
Amazing billboard pics! Did the billboard just fall when you took the pictures? Shouldn’t they have closed off the street and cleared the area already? Wait that’s EDSA. Fat chance, eh?
That’s so cute, Daniel!
Cathy took those shots. It had already fallen, and yeah, fat chance they’ll close EDSA. Hahaha. There’s no other road to detour to. LOL
i love contis! btw, nice nice shot on edsa!
Comments and chips ahoy! (I’m hungry…)
It is a conspiracy, but then again, I’ve been really good at ignoring those things, hehe. Looks real good, I’ll try to get Marlon to go to Greenhills one Saturday.
Aaw. One word, Adorable! I got a glimpse of Nathan when Ms. Caths brought him to visit Ms. Vicky. WIsh I had seen you though, heard you were downstairs. He’s a little Gannsie, he is.
Tina: Cathy took that shot.
Vida: Do go. It’s really yummy.
