Philippines - Last Day

8:30am - On our last day, we almost saw everyone for a little bit. As with every morning, we started the day at Elan Cafe, but this time in a much larger groups as Uncle Philip, Auntie Tina, Uncle Ramon joined us for breakfast.

10am - Right after, we drove out to see my Mom's Aunt, Lau Dee Go and Uncle Charlie. Their house still looked the same as 4 years ago, even after that huge flood that immersed the entire 1st floor.

12pm - Then, Auntie Remy battled through traffic to get us to Gloria Maris for lunch with Uncle Mariano and his friends.


2pm - After lunch, we hung out at the hotel where Auntie Aida and Auntie Solidad joined us. All of the parents talked about their recent China trip and the Si Bian Stone brushes for hours.

3pm - Ifore and I went out to bring back snacks from Razon's.

5pm - After some rest and getting ready for dinner, we were still a little bit early. Ifore picked up Jiselle and we all went to Greenhills Mall where I picked up some last second gifts. James met up with us there and we all headed to dinner together.

6:30pm - My Mom's side of the family took over Elan Cafe for dinner, where the staff prepared a special Filipino style buffet (most of the normal menu is international). Oddly enough, there were a few other customers mixed in with our tables. That must have felt super awkward!

9pm - As the party was dying down, some of us went upstairs to the room. Uncle Mariano and family also came down later (they have an apartment on the 25th floor).
