the Catarrojas turned ONE!

We turned one last February 10 and we commemorated the occasion doing two things we really loved: travel and food. We drove to Pampanga for the Hot Air Balloon Fiesta and finally had the food trip we've been planning for awhile already. Days before, Mark did his research and had valuable advice from travel and food blogs (ivanabouttown and antonblogs), plus recommendations from our friends Dianne and Emer.

Here's what our weeked was like through our pictures:

early morning drive along NLEX

breakfast at McDo, Lakeshore (that's Mark at the entrance)

Lunch at Junjun's (super sarap ng pork barbecue!)

Dessert at Aurely's Bakeshop

MUST-TRY: Aurely's Special --- only Php 130 a box

Welcome drinks c/o Emer at the "Bar"

Pilot and Co-Pilot at the Simulator

Fun day at the Hot Air Balloon Fiesta

This was how our first year as a married couple was like...haha!

Aling Lucing's Sisig at SM Clark



AND...the best sisig ever --- Mila's Sisig, Bgy. Sto.Domingo

MUST TRY also - Lechong Kawali of Mila's

(to die for - literally!)

Needless to say, we had a blast. If the past year is any indication of what being married to Mark will be like --- I can't wait for the next thirty years!
