In preparation for the very memorable day, everyone in the house was busy running errands for the dinner.  Steaks were marinated, the salmon steaks were seasoned and the barbeque stove were prepared on the penthouse.  Everything was readied to perfection about 12:00.  The invitations were sent thru the internet and most of the guests were virtual friends, and excitement was building up on my part.  I will finally meet and put faces with the names of my virtual friends. We had to make a run to Robinson for some more items and here we met Aletha who came all the way from Pampanga, then came Marge from Batangas and then MeAnn from Laguna.  Aletha brought me her special Burong Isda and Marge brought me Tamales and the Signature frame for my guests to sign. 

The guest arrivals – and the pictures in this spread will tell all the stories.

Two crabs crawled out from the freezer box of tuna and salmon from Puerto Prinsesa and chased me around the kitchen.
