centennial date

Ramil and I celebrated our 100th month as a couple last July 7. We initially wanted to go for a vacation somewhere even if we just stay overnight. Since we’re both not fans of bringing luggage, not to mention our tight budget will not allow it, we’ve opted to have dinner at a small, quaint Swiss restaurant nearby called Vieux Chalet. We had fun especially since it’s been awhile since we went out on a real date. The food was a bit expensive but it was worth it because it was really good. We had shrimp ravioli which costs around 400+ and is good for 3-4 persons.

This pasta dish was way better than what I was expecting. I was about to go for the safer Fettucine Alfredo but decided to be more daring and try their shrimp ravioli. I was so happy that we got to try it.

We also had beef tenderloin in mushroom sauce which was very pricey at 700+. Although the dish is good for 2-3 persons, it didn’t come with anything else except for a few leaves on the side. The sauce was really good, very similar to Razon’s sizzling bulalo sauce which Ramil and I love very much. I would have liked the beef to be more tender though.

For our drinks, we both ordered lemonglass cooler. It was a refreshing, cool drink which we’re sure to order when we come back for another visit. Since we felt that we spent a lot already on that restaurant, we opted to have our dessert and coffee in a coffee shop on our way home. All in all, the date was a great one especially after a very long date hiatus. We only wish we could do this more often.

celebrating our centennial

Ramil and I will be celebrating our centennial monthsary on Monday, July 7. It’s been 100 months since we officially became boyfriend-girlfriend. Ever since we had Mateo, we don’t really celebrate our monthsaries anymore. However, we wanted to make an exception for our 100th month. Since we won’t be able to celebrate our centennial anniversary anyway because we’ll both be long dead by then, might as well take the next best 100th.

To commemorate the day we committed to each other, Ramil and I have started a new blog. We already have our respective blogs and we thought of starting a new one, a shared one. Hopefully, we get to update it more often than our own blogs.

Despite our plans to make an exception for our 100th monthsary, a dinner at Vieux Chalet is enough for us. It’s already such a treat considering that we barely had any real date with Mateo around. So on Monday, we’ll leave Mateo with his yaya and my sister. I’m thinking of planning something more but I have to see if we could still afford it. Haha!

a wedding date

Ramil and I were able to go on a date last January 2. We attended Leo and Dawn’s wedding and it made for a really good date for us. It was held in a beautiful outdoor venue by the bay, the food was great and there was dancing! We definitely had fun.

The ceremony was short and sweet. Ramil and I helped with the usual shower of fresh rose petals and bubbles at the end of the ceremony. I sure hope it looked great in the photos. The reception started earlier than planned. Good thing the couple was able to get a really good caterer. The place was almost ready by the time people got there. Everyone had only nice things to say about the wedding and we’re happy for the newlyweds. We wish them all the best
