weekend family time
After posting my blogging about blogs post and thinking about the indieweb in general, I decided that I'm just going to continue sharing my life posts as usual.
I had a very IRL weekend with my family as we were in town for a family friend’s wedding. My siblings and I all live in the same city so we carpooled to our parent's place.
The wedding was great and it was a huge event marrying Filipino (I’m Filipino) and Vietnamese cultures (+ the bride and groom love EDM HAHA). So much drinking, dancing, and food. I am friends with both the bride and groom which definitely always makes the event more enjoyable.
Many of the food dishes were very shrimp forward (Personally I was so happy for that because it was YUMMY!!!) . There was also a boba bar and instant ramen bar (so fun but I didn't get any because I was already so full and didn't want to overdo it).
Food pics:
Siu Mai and Har Gow from the cocktail hour. Photo cred my sis.
Shrimp, Shrimp balls, Shrimp in rice, shrimp shrimp shrimp.
There was a Sakura/Cherry Blossom theme as the bride & groom got engaged in Japan during cherry blossom season, so each table also had some Suntory Whiskey that we all got into.
My family had Malaysian for lunch the next day before we drove back home.
Southeast Asian cuisine is so yummy...
I have been drafting a separate post for later, but I was gifted a bag of coffee beans from a client (we printed some last minute merch from them) so my brother lent me some of his pourover supplies to try (coffee grinder and Hario v60).
The coffee grinder is also probably overkill and not the most optimized thing re: technical pourover things (other than being FREE to use LOL). I’ll take recs but most likely won’t make any decisions anytime soon (also because it’s my brother’s spare and who knows when he will want that back).
My coffee and snack (I LOVE CUTE PLATE!!) featuring gifted treats from my brother's Japan trip.
I like going through my room for treasures when I am in town like this Pokedex LOL!! I took it back with me.
I also managed to reach A8 Wealth Creator 30 which means I can now just work on finishing out achievements at Amethyst Gold 1.
Thank you 3x Durian Phainon.
Now I just need to finish catching up to FFXIV since I’ll be attending Fanfest this year.
