My BIRTHDAY!
For the past three years now, my husband Gerry and I would celebrate my birthday in Greenbelt. We would dine first in a resto and then grab a few drinks at Tavern…just the two of us. It’s one of our fave hang-outs since I love to watch bands (was a frustrated band vocalist kasi) and he loves to dance.
This year, my birthday was celebrated three days in a row.
July 23. Gerry brought me to Tavern, Greenbelt for dinner. I thought it will just be the two of us. I was surprised to see our friends there. Hubby gave me a surprise party! First came Jon then his wife Rica. Kat and Kimmy followed after. Pam and a date followed late in the evening. The band which played that evening was ESCAPE. (Kat’s BF, Kim is the drummer of Escape.) We enjoyed the evening. I was in a nice place eating nice food and having fun with a nice crowd…my friends of course!
July 24. Hubby and I slept most of the day. Too tired perhaps. Oh, he cooked lunch. Sweet no? Anyway, we went to hear mass at 7pm and then, since I was craving for fried pla-pla,we had dinner at Dencio’s, Sucat (the one near Brittany Bay). Loved the ambiance! We enjoyed the evening just the two of us. We strolled around before we went back home.
At home…Gerry and I was watching the news…then, a few minutes before 12MN, Gerry went out of the room. I thought he just went to pee or something then at exactly 12MN, I was surprised by the sound of party poppers, confetti flying around and Gerry singing "Happy Birthday"…and we were both laughing hard. Then he handed me my gift…a Samsonite laptop bag with…a laptop of course. I thought that was the only gift. Well, there is one more…but that one?.. that will be just between me and my hubby. Go figure. HEHE c",)
July 25. Gerry and I went to fetch my family. Everyone was there! My sister, Dr. Lanie just arrived from her 24 hour duty at the hospital. We had lunch at Saisaki, West. We enjoyed the moment. We were serenaded by a "band" and my dad jammed with them. They even called him Mr. Elvis Presley…read between the lines.
After that, we went malling at Gateway, Cubao. We had merienda at Pizza Hut Bistro. It’s a bit nicer than the usual Pizza Hut. In Gateway, there is this ala "green house" area of Pizza Hut and we went to eat there. The ambiance was sooooo nice. I love it there. Babaw pero I love the feeling of enjoying food and ambiance with all the people I love….PERFECT!
We went home around 7pm I think.
After taking them back home, Gerry took me to Skyline, Vivere, Alabang. We were seated in a nice corner overlooking the city lights and the moon shining on Laguna Bay…sooo nice. Since we were still full that evening, we just grab a few drinks and pica-pica. It was sooo romantic. Hubby made me feel soooo special. It was indeed a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I will post pics as soon as my Kuya send them to me via email. Ahem, Kuya, I’m waiting.
