MBAPs Meet

* MBAP photo snagged from Abie

Thank you to all mommies (and daddies) who showed up last Sunday for the Dampa, Macapagal meet. It was a huge success, kudos to everybody who went and had a great time with the seafood feast! Wish I can say more about this meet up, but I guess the pictures from Abie, Peachy, Mich and Joy’s blog showed how much fun (and food) we had last time. So much food that we all went home with take-outs enough for family dinner! Yes, ganoon kadami foodie extended until dinner! :)

‘Til next gimik date on October 19, Sunday. Venue c/o Jane. And it is official … baby shower and early Christmas treat for the MBAPs. Will probably send email next month for the party details. For the meantime, start doing all your rakets…need to save up $15 for the foodie share.

And to the preggo moms, no one should give birth earlier than the said date! Otherwise, malolokah ako to set new meet up date!lol.

Kelly, Thea and Apple … time to redeem yourselves! Oh we expect a lot of goodies (and foodies) from you! Seriously.

To MBAPs, looking forward to our next EB date. Hopefully more time for tsismis this time.

Again, thank you for making it happen ... love you all!!

Simple Birthday Treat

Yesterday I celebrated my birthday... another year older, but wiser, I hope.

I just had simple and quiet celebration with my family, with no fuss and frills. I simply enjoyed my day pampered and loved by hubby and the kids. I guess as you grow older, you prefer to celebrate birthdays the simple way. Just enjoying quiet and more bonding time with the family.

So how did I spend my special day ... with my family, of course.

Day before my birthday was on BL or Birthday Leave. As I blogged before, I need to do some series of labaratory clearance for my upcoming thyro-glossal duct cyst operation. My BL was the perfect time to complete these requirements. As early as 9am I was at Medical City for biopsy test and series of lab exams. After lunch, went to meet up my Mom for our final decision on the memorial lot at Heritage Park we plan to get. Went home by 3pm and cuddled with Sam the entire afternoon. By 7pm, Kuy Ico, Sam and I met up with hubby for dinner at Promenade Greenhills and watched Kung Fu Panda movie. Went home late and bought take out ice cream and pizza from Yellow Cab and had my birthday asalto late-night snack while watching Dr. House series.

The next day (my birthday) we all woke up late. My Mom arrived together with my sister by lunch with my Tiramisu birthday cake and my favorite buttered crab. I just cooked spaghetti and chicken corn as additional food for lunch.

the yummy lunch pictures ...

Sadly, they forgot to get me birthday candles ... but pretended to wish na lang din! Hahaha!

After the yummy meal we had for lunch, hubby and I decided to go out on a date night. Went to Promenade again for late dinner at Teriyaki Boy to satisfy hubby's craving for sukiyaki and makis.

Then after dinner, we had coffee at Starbucks. Capuccino overload for me! With a good cup of coffee, wonderful company, great conversation ... the night was simply perfect!

By 11 pm, we decided to have a good laugh at Zirkoh Comedy Bar at Greenhills. I enjoyed watching Wally and Jose's stand up comedy show. Believe me, worth every cent watching the guys perform. Really funny and I can't stop laughing the enitre night. Never had that tummy-aching laugh for quite sometime now. I think really good food for the soul.

at Zirkoh entrance ...dyahe pa si hubby pa-pix noh!

stand-up comedians as fillers for the show ...

primetime show performers: wally and jose -- really hilarious!

Went home really tired and sleepy by 3am. Enjoyed my day so much. Had simple but great birthday celebration. The entire day was spent with the love of my life.

In case you are wondering how come I never mentioned any birthday gift from hubby, well... hubby decided not to give me anything "yet". After losing my weight challenge bet, he promised me to give me travel gift instead anytime this quarter. During our coffee conversation, he told me he will bring me to Tokyo or Korea. Was delighted of course! He initially offered me to join him at Memphis, US but I declined. Been there and I want to visit something new this time. Tokyo or Korea will be great! I so want to see Japan...and experience Korea too! Hahaha! Let's see. I am hoping I can visit both this year. lol.

To all my friends who greeted me and remembered my natal day, thank you so much! I am so blessed having great friends like you!! :)

Am I Preggo or Not?

DELAYED...for two weeks now.

Haven't taken the preggy test yet since unsure if its just cycle change or I am really preggo! :) Missed taking my pills when hubby lefy for Hawaii last January. And since then, my daily pill-intake was erratic! Hahaha! Really bad!

Anyway, If I am indeed preggo, well ... it was really part of our plan to have baby this year. But hoping to have it delivered early next year sana (baby birthdate preferably summer so it will be timely for pre-school cut-off entry! nyahahaha!)

So Jane and Peachy...sorry, nauna na ako! lol.

Let you know the verdict this weekend... will sked my preggo test with hubby. Really excited!
