Last Saturday afternoon was one of our happiest! 
Gabby, at only 5 years old has been continuously reaping academic and extracurricular awards much to our pride as parents. Nakakawalang-pagod! To think that he’s not living a child’s life less ordinary as he’s not that geeky-grade-conscious preschooler and even preoccupied with his past times : Cartoon Network, Disney Channel and Nickelodeon, we cannot wish for anything more than good health, a best future and more fun days with him.
Just before completing his Nursery last year, he placed 3rd out of 51 batchmates in their Declamation Contest. This year, he repeated his victory by finishing 4th out of 50 Kindergarten pupils. He also earned a medal for his Math Quiz Bee. Not to forget he’s Top 2 in their class’ 3rd grading period.
After four long hours of activity, we all deserved a nice meal from one of Gabby’s favorite food places.
He was so excited as Tina and I brought him from Ateneo (Hogan Conference Hall; their contest’s venue) to Amici+Caramia in Tomas Morato. He got to bite at his favorite Quattro Formaggi pizza again! Yum!
Here’s what we feasted for Gabby’s win…
AL QUATTRO FORMAGGI -Four Cheeses Pizza.
A visit to Amici isn’t complete without having Caramia’s gelato! Here are the drool-worthy gelati we enjoyed….
STRACIATELLA. Gabby’s choice (PhP 60/scoop) in a wafer bowl (PhP 10).
BLUEBERRY SUPREME. ‘Twas my delight that weekend. 
CHOCOLATE TORTUFO. Tina’s choice (PhP 95+) out of the many GELATO CAKES from Caramia.
Amici + Caramia are included in the list of our family’s favorites. And if it’s a favorite, I don’t mind posting it over and over again (View previous posts HERE and HERE) . For one day, I know Gabby will read this and we shall savor again the experience and the tastes we had during his victorious day!

wow tamang tama ang celebratory meal. ang sarap sarap ng gelato
agree, the world isn’t happy without ice cream.
and gelato being airless ice cream is happiness!
Wow ! So many awards! I understand you are proud…I would be for less !
Great you all got a reward ! Pizza & ice cream !
that pizza is one of our son’s favorites so it’s part of his reward for being good boy.
the other surprises for him perhaps will be given after my stint at you-know-where.
Nagmana talaga sa inyong dalawa ni Tina ang batang yan, ang galing eh!
actually sheng, mas mahal daw ang tubo kaysa sa puhunan sabi ng late lola ko.
so our child/ren is/are always better than us-parents. agree?!
wow! dalawang trophies ha? galing!
may amici din pala sa morato? grabe nagutom ako sa pics, lalo na dun sa pizza! alam mo docgelo, straciatella is my favorite gelato flavor. sana padalhan mo ako dito sa office! he! he!

May pinagmanahan nga si Gabby. Congrats to your kid. I can see in the near future when you and Tina will be actually bringing him to Italy (for more Italian treats!) as he reaps more rewards and makes you all more proud of him.

wooohoooo!!!! congrats gabby! syempre congrats din doc and tina! swerte nyo kay gabby. aaaaawww.

sino nga ba naman ang hindi magiging proud. congratulations sa parents at syempre sa magaling na food tripper and bright son.
had lunch here today and got the panini al salicce
the sausage is good. i thought lang it’ll have veggies like lettuce, tomato, etc. inside the sandwich but then red bell pepper lang & onions nakita ko. I had the dressing on the side nalang since I don’t like mayo-based dressings. I instead asked for catsup & tabasco. Looked a bit big sa pic but it’s not as big as you think. I think, mas gusto ko their pizza & pasta na we got before.
Since I was the first customer for the day, they gave a complimentary slice of brazo de mercedes
