Happy Birthday Christine

Today is January 10 and it's the 10th birthday of my daughter Christine.  Hubby took a half day off at work and we prepared a simple celebration for our daughter who invited some of her classmates to come to our place after school.

 

The children enjoyed the food and swimming in the pool.  I'm happy that my daughter enjoyed her day.  Thanks to her friends and classmates who joined her in celebrating her 10th birthday.

Happy birthday my dear daughter.  We love you and we are always here to support you.  You and your brother are the greatest gift God had given us and we are really thankful for that.  Be good always and don't forget to pray.

Love you baby.

It's My Special Day Today

Treating the children at a mini zoo on my birthday

 Today is my birthday and another year has been added to my age ... wow, I'm already 41 years old.  I can't believe it, I still feel like I'm just 25 years old ... LOL.


Actually, age doesn't really matter to me.  As others say, age is just a number ... that's right, it's just a number that keeps on adding yearly.  As long as I'm happy and contented with my life, age will never be much of an issue for me.  In fact, it's a blessing and something I have to thank God for.

It's My Mother-in-law's Birthday

It's my mother-in-law's 79th birthday today.  Happy Birthday mamu, we love you and we wish you more birthdays to come. 

My husband and I planned to treat mamu (my mother-in-law's popular name among relatives and friends) on Saturday but decided to have a little celebration today as well.  I took an early quit at the office and went to the mall to buy a cake and lechon manok (roasted chicken) while my husband bought ice cream.  At home I asked our house helper to cook some noodles, a.k.a pancit.  Voila, we have something to feast on.

A birthday won't be complete without pancit (Filipino style).

Rocky Road Cake from Red Ribbon ... hmmmmmmmm....yummy!

Nestle Rocky Road ice cream ... husband and I didn't have an arrangement but ended picking-up the same flavor for the ice cream and cake.

After two attempts, the children prompted to help their lola blew the candle out.  "You're taking too long lola, we're anxious to take a big bite out of that cake."
