March was Birthday Month

        So yeah, i've been missing in action for the past uuuuummmmmm month (or more). My march was just hectic that i haven't had the time, or the energy to update my blog as much as i would love to.But what kept me busy the whole time are these....

     
Jumpstarting March's bday celebrators is my son Laurence Anthony, who celebrated his 10th on the 14th. It was just a quiet dinner at home as he was scheduled to take his last quarterly exams the next day (sched till the 17th).  We had a post-birthday celebration on the last day of their periodical exams instead.  LA wanted something different for his 10th bday --- it was always a swimming/summer themed party for the past years --- so for this year, Timezone it was.






        Party boys and girls were treated to an hour and a half of unlimited arcade gaming (all games except for the violet swipers).  The Php 175.00 fee for each person was well worth it as they were able to play as much video games as they want. Even the mommies had an hour and a half of being childlike once again  :)



        After which, we all trooped to Shakey's for dinner of pasta, pizza and more.  A birthday song wrapped up LA's 10th this year!


      To a son who has always been my source of inspiration, happiness and pride, my warmest hugs on your birthday.  A few years from now and you will be taller (definitely, bigger) than I am, but know that you will always be my number 1 baby.  Much, much love my LA!

       Next in line was my nephew Ice who turned 3 last March 28.   We had dinner at Shangrila 's Finest Restaurant to celebrate.  Ate Angel was our official photographer that day so no photos from my cam for this event.  To my nephew Isaiah, hugs and kisses from all of us :)


       Ton's XXXth birthday on the 30th followed.  Food "bingeing" (if such a word existed) at Gerry's Grill with the family right after my training stint at OLFU. 


Ton and his lady love, Yang


Make a wish and blow it out!

        Ton got his birthday surprise when out of the kitchen came Gerry's wait staff to sing him their own version of a birthday song.  Yang, arriving earlier than us was able to make the arrangement with the cake she got for the bday boy.  Kudos my dear! 

        To my one and only brother (pun intended har har har), you have really come a long way from the Ton i've grown with (and love, of course), that i feel i certain kind of pride when people (relatives ,most especially, who has witnessed your naughty moments)  would comment on how you've "matured" to be the fine young man you are now (nope, i don't have to get paid for this).  You've really stepped up and took full responsibility which Papa left behind, so I am pretty sure that he truly is happy looking down on us from up there.  Keep it up, and yeah, i'm sure you know just how much we love you, right?

My MIL with my FIL and the apos -- 4 as of the last count hehehe
     My mother in law turning 59 wrapped up the birthday month last March 31.  We had an overload of MSG as we had dinner in a chinese restaurant 2 days in a row, that the family decided to try something different. They decided on Grilla (Antipolo). So the night was a feast of grilled meats and seafoods. 

     To the best MIL, my love and undying gratitude for all your help, love and support. I was truly blessed to belong to a family (that includes all my in-laws) who has continuously shown me and my kids nothing but kindness and love.  LA and Jelo (and Angel and Ice) are lucky to have a lola who always has the time to support their daily activities, who would take them to malls and indulge their every whims.  So, to the best Mom and Mama, Jason, LA, Jelo and I have, all our love right back at you.  May you be blessed as you have been a blessing to us each day :)

    Truly a celebration filled month. Not to mention a hectic tour and training sched.  Not that  I am complaining.  I welcome the challenge, though i was wishing for more than 24 hours in a day, then maybe i could have squeezed in my blogging more har har har.  Guess, i just will have to find time for it...


Happy to finally blog again,
