I believe I had done what I didn’t do the first time I went in Dallas. Surely, the next time I get back here (if there will ever be a next time) it would be different again. Masaya din ang tumira sa US. Maganda pamumuhay, madami kang mabibili. Tamang tama lang sa kinikita mo. Ang mahirap lang ay ang kultura. Ibang iba sa kulturang pinoy.

We have this friend – kuya Ed – isang kano na may pusong pinoy. He’s very fond of our culture. We heard his story and was surprised that he believes that our culture is great.

He is impressed on how filipino family is setup not just because he himself have a filipino family but according to him he never felt that happiness having a family before. That’s an important aspect of filipino culture that I am proud of too.

Anyway, we’re now here at the DFW airport, waiting to board the plane. To kill time, we roam around the airport. We even got some starbucks to keep us awake while waiting for boarding. We’ll be traveling about 17 hours. Good luck to our butts!

Below are some of the photos we took.

Here’s a synopsis from IMDB.com:

A poor, oversized and under-educated teenager is recruited by a major college football program where he is groomed into an athletically and academically successful NFL prospect. Written by IMDb editor

“The Blind Side” depicts the story of Michael Oher, a homeless African-American youngster from a broken home, taken in by the Touhys, a well-to-do white family who help him fulfill his potential. At the same time, Oher’s presence in the Touhys’ lives leads them to some insightful self-discoveries of their own. Living in his new environment, the teen faces a completely different set of challenges to overcome. As a football player and student, Oher works hard and, with the help of his coaches and adopted family, becomes an All-American offensive left tackle. Written by Anonymous.

As expected, we took some photos and below are some of them:

What the hell just happened?! Focus! Focus! Focus!

Anyways, yeah, after church we decided to go climb up those peaks again – Twin Peaks. Naahh! Just kidding. We had our lunch there. We figured Hazel hadn’t had the chance to get into Twin Peaks last time because she’s so busy “resting” at the hotel due to “unforeseen stiffness” she experienced a few days back.

Well, I ordered some chicken breasts. The others ordered chicken fried steak. We had a good meal. While waiting for the hotel shuttle, Hazel did some hula-hoops while Anjay was busy taking her pictures. Grex and I were busy with our mobile devices.

Of course, we took some more pictures.

We had a great service and reminisce if everything we did was on God’s teachings and laws. Today’s lesson was great. Some stroke through. Some kept.

After the worship service, we head out and took some photos. And, said goodbye to some of the church members. It was a great day really.

When I get back here again, I hope I can bring my duty to sing in the choir. I miss singing hymns already. Back in Baguio, I am in the English Choir so I kinda memorized almost all the hymns. Well, babalik naman na kami kaya ayos lang.

Here are more of the photos:

Anyway, yeah, we spent our lunch at Genghis Grill again today. And this is our second time really. Last time we’re here, Sei Wei (sorry if I mis-spelled it again) joined us. We just went back because Hazel is drooling over Joey (Hmmm…do I feel something just waved?).

This is what they say in their website:

Genghis Grill-The Mongolian Stir Fry, is a build your own bowl, fast casual, Asian stir-fry concept. The atmosphere is colorful, lively, and a lot of fun! It’s actually not a cuisine, but an INTERACTIVE style of exhibition cooking modeled after a centuries-old legend. According to this legend, 12th century Mongol warriors, led by the mighty warrior GENGHIS KHAN, heated their shields over open fires to grill food in the fields of battle!

Genghis Grill is all around texas and all over US as well. Now go and grab your keys and head to the nearest branch near you.

Here are some of our photos (last four photos are taken on our first visit here):

The photos below are taken one Thursday morning at the hotel lobby before leaving to work.

This is my third time here but every visit is different. Twin Peaks is located at 1700 North Central Expressway Plano, TX. So grab your keys and head on there. Too bad we will miss there lingerie nights starting February 5 to 15, wherein the waitresses wears lingeries as they serve you your food. Now, now, ain’t that a treat!

This is what buffalowildwings.com has to say:

Buffalo Wild Wings Grill & Bar is one of the fastest-growing restaurant chains in the country. Our concept is more than a Buffalo, New York-style wing joint with 14 signature sauces, we are also a sports bar, with a full menu featuring everything from salads to appetizers to burgers, and a variety of specialty items. All served in a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere where people like to hang out with friends, play trivia on our Buzztime^® system, and watch their favorite games on one of our many big-screen TVs.

And a little history as well:

The year was 1982. Jim Disbrow and Scott Lowery had recently transplanted to Kent, Ohio from Buffalo, New York. All was fine until one day they started craving wings. Not just any wings, but authentic Buffalo, New York-style chicken wings. Problem was, there was nowhere to go. Hence, the beginning of Buffalo Wild Wings^®(formerly known as bw-3^®), the grill and bar that serves up a healthy dose of fun along with wings spun in signature Buffalo Wild Wings sauces. Over 20 years and millions of wings later, Buffalo Wild Wings continues to grow.

So far every thing they say are true. You will indeed have a great time munching those wings cooked with different sauce you like. For me, this is one of the places that I can go back again and again. And I’m sure Grex, Hazel, and Anjay wanted to get back here as well.

Below are our photos taken on our trip to Buffalo Wild Wings here in Plano, TX

Photos are in my facebook account as well.

Thai Cuisine are mostly spicy but sweet but not that spicy than that of an Indian food. Don’t want spice? Then there are some thai food here that are not spicy. I ordered the Phad Thai Noodle Soup and the serving is huge.

Hindi ko naubos lahat at masyado ng masakit ang bibig ko sa anghang. At madaming taong kumakain doon which is probably a sign that it is a great place to experience Thai Cuisine.

If you’re drooling now, here’s the Directions to Jasmine.
