Thank you for the LOVE!

Early morning of my birthday, as soon as my eyes opened, I was greeted by a wonderful surprise from the GOppets. They always try to out-do their last surprise so I am always excited when an occasion arises. I know I’m in for a very nice treat..

And true enough, I saw these on my vanity. This is where they always put my surprises because the first thing I do upon waking up is to go to the bathroom to do my business & wash up haha.

I love all their gifts but this one I think is my favorite because of its quirkiness. Anyone who knows me would definitely say this best describes me. <3 I wore it right away.

I LOVE homemade cards. It says they put time & energy into it. I have a treasure trove where I keep all their love letters & notes.

My babies like PUNS. Hahaha they always make me laugh with their captions! 😛 I showered hurriedly so I can wear this beautiful “KAFTAN-K” from my favorite store for my special day. Don’t you love it?

Thank you to the MOMENT GROUP & my love Maita Q for this yummy surprise! <3

Speaking of anniversary, gusto nyo ba ng cheesy?  Just when I thought Kap’s all romanced out, he does something like this. With matching angpao & flowers pa! Jackpot na ako, haba pa ng hair ko! Thank you so much, my Honey! <3 I love you!

Sweetheart, The Lord blessed you with everything you need. Home, family, money, etc. And you were able to manage it very well. There’s one wish we all want: For you to manage your health. Not for your sake alone but for us. WE ALL NEED YOU!

Matamis na puso,

Ang iyong mukha ang nais kong masilayan pagkatapos ng isang mahabang araw (kahit sa panahinip).

Ang iyong mga bisig ang nais kong nakabalot sa akin kapag nakakaramdam ako ng lungkot o pangungulila (pati 50 shades of Grey).

At ikaw lamang sa buong mundo ang nais kong makapiling magpakailanman.

Habang buhay ba nagmamahal, Honey.

I would also like to thank my sponsor friends for the astounding show of love. What is a birthday party without lootbags?

I admire how great you are in every aspect of your life whether it is blogging, being a mother, or simply just being you. You serve as an inspiration & a blessing to everyone. You are independent, sophisticated, bold, and classy. Only a few things I love about you. Thank you for being so supportive, and for being a great role model, stressing the importance of family & love. On your birthday, I wish you many more years of happiness & greatness. Here’s to many more blog posts & memories!

This is by far the best birthday yet. Spent with people I love the most, eating non-stop the whole weekend-long, and laughing all the way. How do I even top this next year! 😛

Many thanks to all of you for the greetings, emails, messages, well wishes and prayers. Thank you for loving me & for caring so much. My heart is filled with happiness! I love you all!!! :-*

    Not only are you so blessed, you are also so well loved. Cheers to a personal new year. Conquer more mountains (figuratively of course, although okay din pag literally) and discover more mouth-watering dishes that I only long to taste from across the ocean.
