Twelve members of the Pinoy Moms Network met for lunch yesterday. Some met the others for the first time. If I remember correctly, it was Cess who was the ice breaker because, according to her, she was not excited at all LOL.
Below are some photos (taken by Sam) from the mommy lunch yesterday at Swiss Deli and Bistro in Mandaluyong. The members will receive an e-mail in a few days regarding the agenda discussed over lunch and developments that transpired afterwards.
Chato (thanks for dropping us off at Shangri-La; next time, we’ll have those truck drivers arrested hehehe) and Rach (who came all the way from Batangas); Feng who came with a handsome little tyke named Nico.
Me (multitasking — eating, talking and thinking hehehe), Dine (in the background) and Noemi (beside me); Salen (above, right), my smoking partner hehehe
Dine (left photo above), the sexy mom, who came in mini skirt with a front slit :); and Teacher Julie (right photo above).
Lisaflor (above, left) whose son Lex fell asleep towards the end of the lunch (gosh, were we that boring?); and Lynn (above, right) who seemed so quiet but that may be because she was seated beside Cess (below, right) who was a real livewire.
Jane whose passion for yoga got me thinking hard. You don’t perspire doing yoga, do you, and that makes it sound great. 
The whole bunch, above, busog and in high spirits. 
I had a great time. I hope everyone else did too. Next time, we’ll make it a super extended lunch.

hello Connie. it was nice meeting you as well as the other Mommies.
honestly, i thought of a different Connie, one whose a very tough Mom. but naku, the moment you stepped in the resto and started talking, sabi ko: “gosh, cool Mom pala ito”. 
and I say, if it wasn’t for you and Noemi, I and the other Moms as well, would not have become blogger and soon-to-be/getting there to be real friends.
thanks so much.

Toni 05.28.07 at 9:56 am
Beautiful mommies naman!!! I wish I were a Mom so I could’ve joined you, hahaha.
Can’t wait to see what you guys have planned.
Jane 05.28.07 at 1:07 pm
hi there Connie!
Dropping by just to say we all had a wonderful, never-to-be-forgotten mommy lunch. With you conducting the meeting (este, EB session), nakakain ka ba? Feng was right. We saw a different side of sassy lawyer — kenkoy ka rin pala!
Sam takes very good pics! You have learned to bring along your own photographer so you can be free to chat. I should do that next time. Sa kakakuha ko ng pics and taking down contact info, I missed out on a lot of chatting and catching up with the moms on the other end of the table. BITIN!!!
See you again soon, I hope…
Jane 05.28.07 at 1:09 pm
Pahabol lang…
Sorry to smash to smithereens your idea of no-sweat yoga. When you come with me to class, bring a towel and be ready to drip buckets! Hahahaha…tara na!
Connie 05.28.07 at 1:53 pm
Hi feng, ahhh depends on the company. pag good company, i’m nice hehehe
lady cess, actually, the bulk of the photos, well… nakanganga kayo at sumusubo hahahahaha
Toni, lapit na yan hehehe I’d really love to have a chance to work with you.
Jane, I can’t blog nga about the food kasi di ko maalala kakadaldal hahahaha Ayoko na mag-yoga! hahahahaha

Chateau 05.28.07 at 3:39 pm
Hi Connie!
Thanks for being kind and not posting any big-bum pix LOL. I’ll join you and Salen next time on your post-meal fix, hehe. I’ve semi-quit (is there such a thing??)
Rach 05.28.07 at 3:43 pm
Hi Connie. I had a marvelous time meeting you and the rest of the mommy bloggers. It was really a worthwhile trip for me.
Thanks for sharing these great photos. Special thanks to Sam for taking those lovely shots during our lunch date. Looking forward to your email. I’m very optimistic and excited about it.
Take care!
Connie 05.28.07 at 5:45 pm

Rach, hopefully before the week ends. I’m trying to write it in outline form so it’ll be clear even for those who weren’t able to attend.

Hi Connie! Thanks to you and Sam for all these pictures. Nice angles for all. Haha. Like all the other moms, I’d like to say it was great meeting you and learning about ‘the agenda’. Will wait for the email.

Connie 05.29.07 at 10:29 pm
Soon, ha, KK? I hope.
Chats, naku hindi! Ang gaganda ng pics (pati yung back view hehehe)! Yung iba lang kasi are not that sharp for posting.
julie 05.29.07 at 11:39 pm
Connie, the photos are very nice. Though natawa ako sa nakanganga at sumusubo! Goes to show we enjoyed the event! Good food, nice venue plus very warm and fun company, nothing compares to that experience. Here’s looking for more lunches for the PMN.
