Eat All You Can, No Leftover! A Pinoy Krismas.

After 5 years of spending Christmas and New Year in LA, I got back to having it the Pinoy way. And I must say, it was a blast! For a moment, I thought I almost forgot how things are here in Manila come Yuletide season. But now that I got to spend it here again, I realized na-miss ko rin pala.
Traffic was of course at its worst. Not only cars on the roads but also people in the malls. And we all know it wouldn't be complete without that. The rush. With it comes the gifts, the lights and decors all around, and most importantly, THE FOOD.
We started what a friend said as the "Oink-oink Season" with a bang in our Dec16 Fuse Christmas party. We all went to Saikono for an ultimately filling Japanese Teppanyaki order-all-you-can-no-leftover dinner and then went to Jen's house for a whole night of fun with Magic Mike and Poker... it was a night full of food, beer and Cuervo until 3am!
Nightly dinners followed leading to noche buena and Christmas Day dinner where we, again, ate til our stomachs are ready to burst with eat-all-you-can party food!
The following week was all drinking naman. I had a record-breaking 15-20 bottles of beer in just 2 nights! I realized I really had too much when rashes came out on my palms and feet. The last time I had rashes was after the first time I drank beer.
Other pig-out nights: New Year's Eve dinner and a few others days after. Talk about holiday hangover... eating hangover!
What a way to celebrate Pinoy Christmas again.. truly a Christmas like no other.
