reunion with cousins

My cousin and family live in a plush unit in one of Manila's most exclusive condos in Rockwell. Everytime we come over to visit, it was an introduction and a peek into a lifestyle that we know we can only dream of :-) We always look forward to their invitation not just for a chance to experience the lifestyle but most of all to enjoy the delicious cooking, good company, fun and laughter that make every visit to their place very memorable. It was a lovely evening spent with our gracious hosts.
