Happy Birthday To Me

Teka nga at maka-emote muna.

Nung isang araw iniisip ko na kung anu-ano ang mga ipagsususulat ko para sa aking birthday blog post. I still remember kasi  a few years ago, nung ang blog ko ay nasa Friendster pa, ay umemote-emote ako. Sisilipin ko sana yung dati kong post, kaya lang ay naalala ko na wala na pala akong FS account, ni-delete ko na at baka ako na lang ang natitirang tao sa prenster.

Basta naaalala ko na meron doong "I-thank-my-nanay-&-tatay-for-making-me-dahil-kung-wala-sila-ay-wala -ako-dito-ngayon" effect. Parang awards night lang tapos nabigyan ako ng pinakamalaking award.

This year, I'm just Thankful for all the blessings that has been showered upon me...
♥I have a very loving husband who supports me in everything I do. I've grown a lot these years that we are together because you inspire me to be the best person that I can be.
♥ I have a darling daughter who makes me feel like I'm the best mom in the world kahit na minsan sobrang kulit.
♥ I now have three blogs which keeps my learning journey more fun. My blogs are also growing and I'm reaching out to more people.
♥ I now go out a lot and I am surrounded by more friends - both in and out of the blogosphere. I used to keep to myself and is surrounded by the same people.

I'm specially most thankful that I now know who I am. I think that's very important. No confusions.

and last but the most important is I am happy.

Happiness is a gift. Thank you so much for being a part of it.

A wonderful stay at One Tagaytay Place

One of the reasons I chose to celebrate my birthday this way is that I want to take a breather. Believe me, my work may not look really stressful but it is. Second is that I want to bond with my cousins. We've celebrated birthdays eating out but this is taking it a notch higher...and we're planning more birthday trips like this.

We didn't really went out para mamasyal. We talked, gossiped, binged and laughed a lot. These are priceless moments. There were also a lot of photos!

Ang picture ng dyosang naka-gown! Ikaw na! Ikaw na ang DYOSA!!! hehehehe....

The reason why I chose One Tagaytay is because the rooms are nice, the reviews are good, the staffs are friendly and their infinity pool looks gorgeous! {Check out our room here}

 This is the bare-faced me-I looked tired, no?

They even sent a chocolate cake before bedtime. I don't know if they send a cake to all guest or they just did because it's my birthday.

Tea and Taal Volcano in the morning....bongga! nakakarelax, parang ayaw mo na bumalik ng Manila.

At kahit ice-cold and water..hala, sige swimming pa rin kaming lahat!

 Syempre, picture-taking galore!

...Model-model-an...O pagbigyan nyo na ako... BIRTHDAY ko naman!

..sa totoo lang tawa naman ako ng tawa habang pinapa-pose nila ako....hahaha..

It was a wonderful birthday celebration, sayang wala si peanutbutter♥. It would have been extraordinary...

Wanna see how our room looked like?Check it out here..
Wanna see what we had for breakfast?

Sonya's Garden,Tagaytay

I decided to celebrate my birthday in advance, out of town. Why out of town? Because I know that my mind will refreshed when I celebrate it somewhere where I won't be able to see my computer shop. I decided to celebrate it in Tagaytay. I can't treat everyone because I don't have a lot of money, so I pick some of my favorite people na lang to celebrate it with.
First Stop was Sonya's Garden...

...where we had a nice lunch. {If you want to know what we had, check it out here}.

There was gossip and lots of laughter. Puro luka-luka kasi ang mga kasama.

Ate Nydia, Chellie, Ate Thess, me and Rome plus Sis, the photographer..

I didn't like most of my photos here at Sonya's, haggard kasi ang beauty ng lola sa byahe at mega-commute lang ang mga beauties namin. After eating, we immediately went to One Tagaytay to check-in and rest...

November 19, 2010

Yesterday, we went out to celebrate Ykaie's third birthday. She will have a Tinkerbell party tomorrow with her cousins but we wanted her to blow a candle and to have a small celebration on the exact date that she was born.

 So before going to the grocery to buy some stuffs that we are going to use at the party tomorrow, we ate at The Mango Tree Bisto. {A close-up of what we had in here}

A few poses before our order arrives....

Let's pose for daddy!

Love the purple curtains at the restaurant!

After lunch, we headed to Timezone and I let her play with all the games she likes and ride all the rides she loves! It was a tiring but fun day.

Tomorrow is her Tinkerbell Party and daddy has a big surprise for her.

Somebody turned 3 today!

You used to be a really small person and you are growing up so fast. I can still remember how I stay up all night and watch you sleep, cry and drink milk. Today, you tell mommy not to hold your hand anymore  because you can do some things on your own--well, small things..and I'm beside you really, but totally not holding you.

You sometime argue with me on what to wear,{you think orange shoes goes with red shirt}, you now have a favorite color, you have a favorite food--- you now have a favorite everything. Seeing you decide on small things on your own makes me happy.

You are growing up before my eyes and yet I still think you are growing up too fast. It's gonna be another year of adventure for you......... and for us, who are and always will be beside you no matter what.

Happy Birthday, Ykaie!

Love♥,
mommy

Leighna's Pirate and Fairies Party

We attended Leighna's first birthday party yesterday. Ykaie got to wear her pirate costume which was really intended as her Halloween costume.Remember, we weren't able to go Trick or Treating because she was hospitalized the week before so the costume went directly to the closet.

Anyway, Ykaie enjoyed the party so much she didn't wanna eat anything! All she wants to do is play and check things out. {numero unong usisera kai to}.She had her nails painted pink, her hair sprayed pink, she had face painting and she even served ice cream to the guests!

It's nice that I met my high school classmates/friends again after such a long time.
