Even though your plans didn't go exactly as expected, everything still turned out well in the end. It's always nice to unexpectedly meet an old high school friend and catch up after so many years. I'm also glad you and K arrived safely and finished everything without any hassle.

And I'm especially excited about your Lumpiang Shanghai! 😍 I love the idea of adding sayote and carrots to the filling. More nutritious. Fresh vegetables at affordable prices are always a great find. I can't wait to see your homemade lumpia in your next post. Happy cooking!
