a sunday feast and variety show

it was more of a feast for the heart and soul than for the eyes - to be seeing familiar and new faces of pinoys in the coldest capital of the world. the freezing late afternoon weather was nothing compared to the warm fellowship that we had on the 9th of december. kudos to the three generous ladies - delia, ving and marnet who spent time and effort to make it a reality - now one of those heartwarming memories of life in mongolia! and to all of us, we owe each other the most for sharing a bit of ourselves in the roles we played on that sunday's 'variety show'!

the lady host

the culinary splendor


a fusion of filipino and world flavors





a thanksgiving prayer before the meal



and the sunday variety show


a mongolian tradition of giving honor - mare's milk served in a silver bowl,
and with a buddhist scarf





a display of magic




the lady rapper and beat box




a demo how to properly drink water with your elbows




a 'backstreet' duo version of 12 days of christmas
