Chipotle and Second Street

My sister says that my niece kept on gushing about Chipotle. My niece loves eating spicy food (must be the Bicolana in her) and kept saying that Chipotle is a good place to eat at, so when my sister and I went to go see the Bodies exhibit we decided to grab a bite first (in case we lost our appetite during the exhibit). We headed off to Chipotle and I must say it was quite yummy and filling.



I had a soft taco with chicken. I couldn’t walk after eating coz they served 3 tacos!

My sister had a taco salad. She said it was a bit spicy, but definitely filling.

Last Sunday, we drove down to Williamsburg to visit my niece, Celina, who’s a sophomore at Willaim & Mary’s. She’s taking up Biology and said she wants to do cancer research (she is really brainy and is a scholar). I had lunch with the whole family at Second Street and had a chicken salad sandwich. I think I must’ve gained 5 pounds after the meal. LOL.

Backpacking to Boracay

Would you be able to resist your unico hijo's pleading brown eyes? That's precisely what pushed me to backpack with Miguel to Boracay. I had given up finding an available flight out to Bora, but of course the internet has vast resources and I found available seats ten hours before the scheduled flight. I just had to bring Miguel to Boracay. So off we went and here are some photos from our trip:
