We were twenty in all, sixteen guests plus the four of us.
The eldest son of Det and Elmer, Loel is a budding chef. he loves to whip-up dishes and according to Edmund, he makes very good paella.
Father and son, Chino and Chiyo Raymundo, with his triplet daughters.
We only had Coca-cola, orange juice and water.
Edmund, enjoying friendly banter with Chino Raymundo. Chino is an excellent golfer. He’s been a club champion a few times. I think his handicap is 2. Or maybe not. Baka 1.
Det, the newly crowned Ms. Chinatown 2014
Loel gave us this delicious multi-layered crepe cake. The three daughters of Chino got the first slice.
Elmer and the daughter of Zaldy Villa.
Nalilito ako who is who and which is which kasi magkakahawig lahat yung mga girls.
Chino has 4 girls, Zaldy has 3.
Kami rin ni Edmund magkahawig. Di ba sabi pag matagal ng mag-asawa nagkakahawig na?
So as not to bore our guests, meron kaming a few games. Or maybe they got bored with my games.
First game:
Popular Chinese Celebrities
Second Game
Chinese Food Henyo
Loel guessed the Pancit Canton within 2 minutes.
Chino was the next contestant. Zaldy was the one giving him clues by answering oo, pwede, hindi. Chino could have guessed the word hopia correctly except that he wasn’t given the full 2 minutes. Dapat daw time to beat. Sayang.
We moved inside the house for the succeeding games.
