Everyone woke up early excited to attend Daniel's 1st Birthday party. The invitation from Donna and Brian, whose wedding we also attended in 2012 and which I wrote about here, mentioned that the schedule for the party was 1030AM to 3PM and I knew then that it was going to be a blast, much like their wedding. So, we all trooped to the car and anticipated a great day (which it was) and read on to see what happened at the party!

Daniel's First Birthday party

Dropping by R & J Bulalohan, Tapsilogan atbp
One of the nicest things about having a car is that you can just take off at the drop of a hat. Well, that's exactly what happened today. After an exhilarating time eating at Dampa with Sharon and her family, Patrick and I decided to go out and have dinner at R & J Bulalohan in Mandaluyong after seeing its reviews on TV.
But first, we had to drop by Ford Club Philippines' 10th Anniversary at the Fort in Taguig, Metro Manila. Naturally, it was a photo opportunity waiting to happen :) After Patrick was done with his work and the kids had ample time to go around and check the cars out, we all went to R&J Bulalohan in Mandaluyong.
For some time, Patrick had heard of R & J Bulalohan from his friends at work and we recently saw it featured in a foodie TV show which really piqued our curiosity. So, since there was an opportunity, we grabbed it. R & J Bulalohan is located along Bonifacio Avenue, just around the City Hall roundabout, in Mandaluyong. It's famous for its Bulalo (of course!) and people from everywhere really make it a point to drop by and enjoy the food here. Parking may be a problem though as they don't have a huge parking lot. Here's a map to guide you.
We ordered Bulalo Regular (special is the one with brains and we didn't really fancy that haha). We also ordered lumpiang shanghai for the kids, some fried tofu and lots of rice. The bulalo comes with unlimited refills of soup so that's a good thing. They said that the bulalo we ordered was good for 2-3 people, but I think it can only fill one really hungry person. The meat wasn't really filling because the bone was bigger hehehe but the soup was really excellent. Add 4 bottles of soda and our bill was only under P500! :D
The place is nowhere near fine dining. It is open-air and you share your environment with people drinking beer and singing videoke. If you're not too fond of smoking, you need to find seats far from the crowd. The service is fast though and the crew is pleasant enough. The bathroom leaves a lot to be desired but if you're desperate, no questions asked, right? ;)

2009 Hot Rod Exposition and Car Show
March 15, 2009 - After doing the laundry in the morning, Patrick, Den, the kids and I trooped to Fort Bonifacio to attend the 2009 Hot Rod Exposition and Car Show event. It was really for Patrick's job but we felt that it's a unique place to enjoy the day so we went with him :) Of course, the kids have some fascination with cars too especially from watching movies like "Cars", "Transformers", "The Italian Job" etc. and since they also play Gran Turismo we knew that they'll find it fun! :)
There were a ton of cars that it's hard to know where to start looking hahaha but when we spotted the food stands there's no question which our first stop is hahahaha After filling ourselves with yummy food, Patrick went ahead to cover the event. The kids played in the inflatable slide thingy that was erected to keep the kids occupied.
After maybe an hour, I figured the kids needed a rest from playing so we walked around the exhibit site. We saw Mini Coopers, Corvettes and really cool, very old cars!! Seeing as I'm no car buff, I can't tell you which models they are, but if you have an old car and you're not really taking good care of it, you should be ashamed hahaha
The kids became excited when they saw a replica of Herbie and Mr. Bean's car! Naturally, Dana gravitated towards all the red cars and she even saw a Volkswagen Combi wagon that looks similar to her Dora Van hahahah Dylan became scared of the really huge Monster Truck!!
It was such a good day.. a different but fun way to spend the day with the family! :)
