They say that "the family that prays together, stays together." I believe this. I also believe that "the family that eats together, stays together."
Apart from our love for one another and our faith in the Almighty, I believe that our love for food, good food, unites us.
Every now and then, we (my family, uncles and aunts, cousins, a few cherished friends whom we consider as family) gather around the table, savor and enjoy good food, and share stories about anything and everything under the sun.
So here's a peak into my family and the food that we enjoy :)
*Pictures were taken last Feb 28, 2009. It was also our Lolo Clarence's birthday. We miss him dearly.

Thank you for sharing your family photos (and pics of the great food)! My husband and I visited the Philippines (his first ever, my first in 18 years) during Christmas and we had such a great time - seeing your family reminded me of my own.
thanks for dropping by :)
This reminds me so much of our parties in Hawaii, but you guys really kick it up a notch, my mouth is watering!
Wow. That is some spread. Makes me miss family reunions. Thanks for sharing. 8)
