Beer Belly Buildup -- Day 24

Even the beer cans salute the entry of the country's most profitable sport.

Who's my favorite NFL team? I still have not decided. Albeit due to proximity, I probably would  still support the Redskins and the Ravens. But this time, I think I'd be happy to see the Seahawks, 49ers, the Broncos or the Eagles in the Superbowl.

Photo was taken at a local Giant store. Kudos to the genius who put this together.

Day 23 -- Layover

Our feathered friends are back in the streets and parks of Metro DC. They make this their rendezvous point before they all head down south to a more "Friendly" temperature. Flocks or Ravens, Canadian Geese, Mallards, and other birds in groups will be a regular fare in our DC commute until we welcome back Mr. Winter.

Day 22 -- Solace

This day I was a little under the weather. Sore throat, severe headaches, weakness. I thought I will be down with the flu for quite some time.

Still I needed, wanted to go out to church to pray, especially to give thanks for another great year added to my two moms.

Happy birthday Mom-mom and Mommy! May you have many more birthdays and blessings to come!

Day 21 -- The Gaucho

We gave Mom-mom the Brazilian treatment for her birthday. No, not that painful hair-loss regimen that until now I still cannot understand how ladies (and even gents) could put up with such torture in the name of vanity. Anyway, the Brazilian treatment I was referring to was the churrascaria style of serving meat in Fogo de Chao.

Happy Birthday, Mom-mom!

Day 20 -- Ramen Day

Lunch out at our favorite DC ramen place Sakuramen. This time, Mom-mom is with us to witness how the little boy adores that Japanese art dish. Indeed, Mom-mom was so amazed at how much Chashu (pork) and noodles he can consume. Then, I asked for a souvenir photo.

Day 19 -- Last batch of blooms

It's good to see flowers bloom for the last time before they prepare their stems and leaves for the coming cold.

Day 18 -- Bon Mi

Another one of the LuWOW (Lunch Walk Out Wednesdays) series. We decided to go to Bon Mi, a sandwich, rice and noodle place inspired by the Vietnamese sandwich Banh Mi. I tried the Rice and Quinoa bowl with Roast Pork and Coconut Curry dressing. All I can say is you can never go wrong with pork. :)

Day 17 -- Swoosh

First day of Autumn... Even the skies are shifting its colors. :)

Photo of the Day shows the clouds lined up like lines to a race track or a swimming pool. Just one of those amazing displays of nature

Day 16 -- Last day of the Green

September 22, 2014, Monday, was the last day of the summer. Soon, leaves will start to red, signaling autumn.

Coming from a country of only two seasons (rain and no rain), it takes time to accept the peculiarities and appreciate the unique beauty of having a four-season year. And fall, or autumn, has become my favorite season. Temperature is perfect, trees are extra colorful, and the foliage is utterly romantic.

I bid the leaves goodbye on this last-of-summer day, and I will see them again soon in the spring.

Any Given Sunday (Day 15)

I am keeping up to this task! :)

We are Redskins fans by proximity. I got acquainted and fascinated by the sport upon moving to the District. 2 Superbowl halftimes after, I decided we should support the city we're in.

POTD nod goes to... the fan. :)
