THE PHOTOS - A WEEKEND IN DIRAB



The villa had this divider that looked like a studio backdrop.
Andami naming kinunan ng photos against this backdrop including moi, my Bebe,
Papa Randy and Papa Chevy.


Sleeping beauty.


Cora and Jun, side by side.



Jun, Rene and Engel at one villa's wide patio.


A view of the huge pool behind our villa and against the wall of the mountain;
the pool at night.

A view of the path as seen from our villa; a view of the villa as seen from the fountain.
Andami naming cars!!!



Mga misis + 1 at the villa's main living room: Rene, Cora and Airene with baby Eileen.
Tess is grinning as well at the back.


A view of the living room with the nice TV.


A view of a bedroom - one of seven at the sprawling villa.


The pater de familias in the kitchen: Engel, Alex, Bel and Jun.


My Bebe and I with colleagues from Poland: Luke, Mariuz and Karol.


The youngest in the group with the, er, este,
the one with the cutest smile - little David with grampa Bel.


Cute bundle of joy Aileen looking quite unsually pensive.
Dad said she has started to grow some teeth, that's why.


Horseback riding mother-and-son: Cora and Joaquin.
White Castle's latest endorser: Rene Segovich.
The family that rides horses together: Gigi and her kids.


Here we are doing what we always do best: eating, nay feasting, and bonding over
traditional get-together fare - shrimps, kare-kare, inihaw na seafood, sinigang na babs, leche flan, etc.



At the side of the villa was this unusual guard's tower
which actually looked awesome at night - thanks to raindrop lights that wrapped it almost entirely.


The family portrait by the pool; it's a video grab actually.
The original photograph coming soon!
