Judy has this portion called “Gifts from the World” which I find soooo cute & entertaining coz I’m spazz that way! 😛
So anyhoo.. okay, ate’s gifts from her recent 18th birthday are not exactly gifts from the World.. just from the Philippines, imported from all over the world (mostly china @_@)! 😛 Yes, that sounds about right! 😉
I just wanted to share with you pictures of some of the gifts she received. I enjoyed watching her open her oh-so-many gifts that I figured you might enjoy seeing them too! 🙂
 |
| Before.. |
 |
| and After! 🙂 Lemme tell you, she is SO deliriously happy! <3 |
Here’s some of the in-betweens! 🙂 Ate LOVED ALL her gifts, but I can’t post ALL as you might just block me from photo overload haha.. so I’m posting some that really caught my attention. But ALL her gifts are equally loved & appreciated! 🙂
 |
| From her bff Mendi. <3 |
 |
| I cannot STRESS enough just how wonderful & useful this jewelry box is!! 🙂 Now ate doesn’t have to crowd mine with her stuff as she has one of her very own. Yay! The bottom opens up to more space & foamed thingamajigs for her watches. I think I’m the happiest with this particular gift hehe! 😛 |
 |
|
She is sooooo happy to find a LOT of BENEFIT products among her gifts! m/
She is such a benefit fan! 😛
Dilemma.. Make-up kit in Fair or Medium? Hmmmnnnn..

 |
| Yaosa! MONEY!!! $$$ |
 |
| But look how thoughtful my ate is! <3 She’s not swapang at all. She knows how to share with her siblings. This really made me tear up. And feel oh-so-proud! <3 <3 <3 What mother wouldn’t be happy to see her kids loving one another & sharing??? I’m so BLESSED having these wonderful kids! |
We hurriedly ate breakfast & took the shuttle to the nearby Rustan’s for some retail therapy while dad & my babyson were taking some zzzzzzz’s after a hearty meal (or late night partying)! Perfect opportunity to shop without the boys breathing down our neck, telling us to hurry up, hehe! 😛
 |
| Happy to assist! 🙂 |
 |
| Being tended to like a princess.. ;P |
 |
| Making a choice.. |
 |
| Very HAPPY with her choices! <3 |
 |
| TADA!!! Wow, oh wow! (insert googly eyes here!) She got the mascara & lipgloss for free for her purchases. By the way, BENEFIT products are only available in Rustan’s MAKATI. If you know a particular benefit product though, you can have it sent to a Rustan’s branch nearest you. |
 |
| Then off to Tory Burch. |
 |
| She also had this in her gift registry. 5k (less 10% for cash payment) |
 |
| Of course little sister gets a little something too! I told you her ate is one generous gal! 🙂 My Lavinia is SUCH a BELIEBER! @_@ |
Not to worry. My ate also knows how to save for a rainy day. She asked me to put 3/4 of her birthday money into her bank. What a responsible adult my lovely girl is! My heart is just bursting with love & pride! <3
As soon as we got home, she played with her empty make-up kit. Yes, EMPTY. She doesn’t really use make-up. So this was a real treat for her.
 |
| I got her a lighted make-up case 2-3 Christmases ago I think? But it remained empty until now. Yay! m/ |
 |
| As a remembrance of their Opa Gangnam dance video! ;)) Kewl, Ramy! m/ |
I hope you enjoyed looking over ate’s gifts as much as I did. 🙂 Thank you so much to everyone who gave her such thoughtful, generous & wonderful gifts. But more than that, what she really values is your love & friendship. <3
What a great birthday it turned out to be! 🙂
