 Roast Layered Pork 

Thankful.

My college years would not have been easy without my crazy Titing, my paternal uncle.  I did not have any curfew, so I often went home  past midnight. Although I often made his wife, Ate Flor, worried, but I just shrugged it off. I spent the evenings browsing the Net at Ang Suga office and walked the eerily silent and loud streets to Sto. Niño. I sometimes love my  gutsiness. But it often causes embarrassment.

Roxan, Titing, Ate Flor, and the round me

After moving out from their place, I promised to treat them to pizza. The promise kept dragging on and reached four years. I was so busy with the “I” and forgot about the “they.” So I finally made time and upgraded the pizza to dinner, and not just any dinner but  Chinese dinner. And not just any Chinese dinner but authentic Chinese dinner prepped by four Chinese chefs.

Timing can be everything. Yes, it was a table of festivity.

Thank you.
