Joyride: Angeles, Pampanga

It's the expected re-scheduled Araw ng Kagitingan holiday last Monday, and was perfect timing for the family to go to Angeles, Pampanga and attend my wife's aunt's birthday party (in their posh crib, in the subdivision where most expats working in Clark live). It was like 36 degrees Celsius hot! And the sumptuous variety of dishes, interesting chit-chats, money-betting card games, and ice-cold beer did nothing to stop a terrible headache. Some of the expat-wives thought I was a foreigner?! (Don't I look Pinoy anymore?!)

My kids were all too sleepy (and sweaty) to strike a pose.
