Jing & Daena Prenup

Had a very nice prenup shoot with Jing and Daena at Tagaytay. Their relationship is a proof of the saying, when you're meant to be... you're meant to be. :)

Lechon @ Alfredos

On the last weekend, before going back to the mother land, our Spanish manager suggested a lunch party with a special cuisine in mind... Lechon de leche!

The plan was to have a lunch party at a private park with a very nice lagoon which quickly dissolved by unforecasted rain. Good thing that we had a plan b and went to Alfredo's very cozy house.

The initial plan was we will prepare the little pig (cerdito?) from start (live pig) to end (full stomach). :)) Thankfully this was not the case. A non squilling pig was already found in Jaime's car trunk, thanks to the Mesa de los rancho!

Unfortunately though, we did not have time to create the actual pit roast but fortunately we have the next best alternative, La Parilla!

Asado Night

The Manila Mafia in Uruguay got invited to some fun filled Asado Night(!!!) by the client. The invitation stated that the party would start at 8:00PM but being in Latin America for a good 6 months now we decided to arrive at the venue at around 10:00PM which apparently is still to early. :))

No sweat though as they were already preparing the different kinds of meat to be set in the parilla.

The fun lasted till 4:00AM for us but some still continued till the wee hour in the morning!

As usual, I'll stop writing and let the photos do the talking.

Patrimonio, Colonia

During my last two visit in Colonia, the best place to hang out was in the Restaurante de Patrimonio.  

Part of the reason is the loading dock that you can go to to take this awesome photo above.  

Puperia D Los Farioles, Colonia

Arriving in Colonia a few minutes before lunch, the first thing we set out for was look for something to eat!

After a few blocks of walking from the bus station to inner Colonia,  we  decided to eat at the first restaurant we saw. The "Puperia D Los Farioles".

El Salmon in mono.

Several reasons on why we go to El Salmon for lunch:

• This is the nearest restaurant we can go to.
• Has a nice "bar" atmosphere 
• cheap! (UY 110-130)
• we had a chance encounter with the Uruguayan president. Photo posted in the bar
• One of the (only) five available places  
• The owner looks like master pogi of dragon ball.

REVIEW: Panasonic Lumix LX5

The Lumix LX5 is the the highly anticipated replacement for the Panasonic Lumix LX3, skipping the LX4 altogether. I think it was because of the 2 year release difference. 

Please read on to see my take on this highly rated point and shoot for enthusiasts. 

El Torreòn, Colonia

The structure for El Torreòn is actually a tower (in tagalog, torre iyon. gets? :))).
Sadly I don't have any photo of the whole place. As I forgot and was a wee bit hungry at the time.

Note to self: Always take a picture of the outside venue.
