In Just A Few Hours
…I will bid farewell to my 20’s forever. I confess that I do have the peter-pan thinking of not wanting to grow up or in my case grow old. It is inevitable, I know so let me indulge myself to some anti aging skin care to at least delay it a bit. 
I won’t be making a wish list this year because I’m being realistic. If I have an easily accessible and bottomless mmf drawer then I will be rushing to the mall. Situations changed and I have become more frugal than ever!
Birthday Boy
This is a long overdue post. I decided to take a break for a couple of days in observance of the holy week. Anyway, we had a mini celebration for the Husband’s birthday. We had been keeping unusual hours lately so I decided to bake the cake 9PM on the eve of his birthday. There is nothing fancy about the cake. I did not make it from scratch. I just used the ready mix that came in a box. LOL. I spent an hour though decorating it. He is a huge LOST fan so I decided to make him a Dharma Initiative cake. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, then most likely you don’t watch the show. Anyway, I used fondant to decorate the cake. It was my first time to use it and I think it looks ok but perfect. Youtube tutorials are quite handy. We also received a wonderful chocolate cake from our friend Verli which gives me another reason to start taking Stimerex ES. UPS delivered it in a cooler with dry ice. I got excited with the dry ice. LOL. Too bad it evaporated before I can play with it. Enough about my childishness, here are pictures of the husband’s birthday. Have a happy easter!
My Birthday
Yes, I’m a year older. I could not help myself and say “yikes”. hehehe. Growing old is something that I don’t like. Anyway, since I have no choice and I don’t want to be like Michael Jackson who has his own Neverland, I celebrated my birthday. Me and the Husband went out to grab lunch/dinner at the best buffet restaurant. The Husband enjoyed the steak while I loved the spare ribs. Yummy! A few weeks ago, the Husband already took me out for dinner and movies for my birthday. It was early because the movie that we wanted to see might not be longer shown this week. It was a nice early surprise from him. I decided then that on my actual birthday that I will be the one taking him to dinner. This may sound odd to most of you but in the Philippines, the birthday celebrant is usually the one who spents money on his birthday. I guess I did mine in a filipino way! Here are some pictures of the whole birthday celebration with the Husband. By the way, our trip won’t be complete without the visit to the petshop. I love puppies. 
Surprise
My birthday is coming up. The husband seems to be preparing a surprise for me. Well, he did not say what it is but he had to make a phone call for it. I kept asking him for clues but he won’t budge. Hehe. I know that I shouldn’t because that will ruin the surprise. I do love surprises (as long as their good) but I’m not quite sure I will have the reaction that he is hoping for. I usually have the tendency to hide my emotions inside so I might not jump for joy. I remember when I got accepted on my first job. When Human Resources Dept. called me up and let me know about it. I just calmly answered. I thanked them and asked when can I start. A friend of mine who was with me during that call asked why I don’t seem happy. I was actually happy but just not expressive. That is just the way I am. I told the husband not to buy me anything for my birthday because of practical reasons. He has given me so much for the past years even when there is no occasion. I remember getting a flash memory card from him. I still have it with me. I’m still curious with his surprise but I won’t ponder it for too long so as not to ruin it.
Happy Birthday Bro!
I hope you are having a happy birthday despite the fact that you just went to the cemetery to say your final farewells to grandma. Too bad I cannot be there. We will miss her but I know she is watching over us. She always remember our birthdays.
Happy Birthday Ma!
