The life of a senior is never boring sans a bustling social life. Meeting up with a close circle of friends occasionally keeps boredom at
This time the Forever Friends got together to catch to up and bond with Helen S who is vacationing from Edmonton,
When one of us visits from abroad, Virgie, our chief organizer would make sure we get together. And mind you she won’t accept absences. Since I couldn’t join last August 2, she rescheduled the lunch yesterday. Her course of action; “no excuses; (hindi puedeng wala kayo); you can’t be absent.
Joan, her co-chief looks for the venue somewhere mid-way so it is convenient for all; Virgie lives on the other side of town from Helen C and I.

It was a lovely lunch at Din Tai Fung , Power Plant Mall. Thanks Joan, I love that you suggested this venue, I seldom go all the way there since everything my needs are available here in the south.
We all got updated on our families’ activities, showing photos and telling the story behind each one. We learned who among our children are working and where and if anyone is getting married soon; most important as well as interesting were the grandchildren.
Amidst the catching up we took more photos to keep our memories alive.

It has become a tradition to move to a cafe for coffee and dessert after lunch. Boy had a meeting at SM Aura; since we were not ready to end the day, we all decided to go all the way there for our dessert
We were surprised to encounter heavy traffic about 2 pm going there on a Tuesday, a weekday. We arrived too late that we had to say goodbye after all so we could beat the traffic going home. Joan took this photo while waiting for Helen and I.

When shall we meet again? It will depend when someone abroad will come visit. Who can say? Thanks guys for a lovely day with you, I enjoyed every moment, especially the laughter and the banter. See you when I see you! At least I will see you on Facebook.
