The Birthday Boy

We had two celebrations for my son's 13th birthday. Initially he wanted to celebrate it at Friday's, but since the olds do not want it there, we opted for a chinese restaurant instead. This was done a day prior to his birthday. We feasted on all his favorite dishes.

We surprised him with a Friday's treat right on his birthday. Of course wish granted for our little big boy. Again, he had all he wanted, including some time at Timezone.

I'm really proud of my son. He's grown up to be a fine young man, a son any mother can wish for. He has his moods, but generally he's a very sweet boy. He says his piece, but he does not sound rude at all. He has his moments though, like any kid would have, but he is not difficult. We love you son!

It's Her Birthday

It's the 15th birthday of my darling girl. She insisted on going to Gerry's Grill. She's been celebrating her past birthdays there, she calls it tradition. She had a pre-birthday celebration with her friends a day before her birthday. Again tradition calls for it, so she celebrated it at Trinoma. I guess that's the favorite mall of Graceans. I saw a couple of them there yesterday since they didn't have classes because of the NCAE.

One More Time

Yeeha! I celebrated my 42nd birthday on June 18. Nothing fancy though. Just had lunch with the hubs at Abe in Trinoma and dinner with the kids (together the angels and the driver) at Gerry's Grill.

I thank the Lord for adding another year in my life. I thank Him too for all the wonderful blessings coming my way everyday. I tend to complain and rant a lot, forgetting the fact that I am truly blessed. Blessed with loving people around me, blessed with a wonderful husband and 2 beautiful kids, blessed materially, blessed with good health, etc. Nothing to complain about really.

Happy Birthday Sweet

Today N is celebrating his 42nd birthday. And he got a touching letter from his daughter Ish.

To My Dearest Daddy,

1st of all, Happy Birthday! Thank you for all the things you’ve done for me: for bringing me to this world, for raising me to be what I am now, for teaching me a lot of good things and for being a good father. I know that I hardly show affection w/ hugs and kisses, but it is my pride and joy to tell you how much I love you and Mommy. I guess I am in the phase where we, somewhat get embarrassed by showing affection to our parents, even at home. Once again, Happy Birthday & I love you!

“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” - Gal. 6:2

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Never rely on what you think you know. Remember the Lord in everything you do, and He will show you the way.” - Prov. 3:5,6

Your Daughter,

Patricia

He was really excited with the letter he got, and I was excited too. We miss the days that Ish writes us letters. I remember when she first started to learn how to read and write (age 5), she had been writing us short letters. Today she is in school attending a weekend camp but we will fetch her later tonight to celebrate.

No matter how her Dad would deny it, he was teary eyed while reading the letter. I was like how come I didn’t get a letter on my birthday (haha jealous Mom), and N was like, “how come I didn’t get a birthday present?” Haha, this is really funny ^_^

Well I on my part just made a short note, placed it in a red envelope (ang pao) with $ inside, after all I am now a $ earner, bwaaaahhh!
