Happy 30th Birthday, Baboo!

 It’s my Baboo’s birthday today! He’s already 30 years old!!! And can I just say what a wonderful man my hubby turned out to be! Heck, sometimes I think I don’t recognize the old Peter I used to know before, especially when we were just dating nine (9) years ago. He is sooo different now. It’s not that I forced him to change (because we know in any relationship, that always fails) but I guess I’m just so lucky to be married to a guy who always makes an effort to be a better version of himself each passing day. And I thank God for that every single day. I thank the whole universe for giving him to me.

This was the only picture we had together the whole time we celebrated his birthday last Saturday. I haven’t had my sleep for more than 24 hours then due my very hectic schedule at work and at home. And Peter just had a few hours of sleep in time to run errands for his big night. Little did we know that a storm (Frank) was brewing in the horizon and this would pose as a problem for our invited guests. Oh well… the party must go on… 

 Nevertheless, many of our friends still managed to come. Here, it’s the birthday boy with the pretty early bird, Koryn!  She arrived at the venue (Poquito Mas) at around 5:30 pm.  We were so touched.  Official buffet time was 6:00-9:30 pm. (Notice the weather outside? Does that look stormy to you? )

 The Mexican dishes served that night were so delectable! We had Sopa de Mariscos, Antipasto Potato, Coleslaw, Buttered Vegetables, Mexican Rice, Chicken Enchilada, Hot chili Corn, Pescado Splatino, Baked Macaroni, Garlic Chicken, Beef empanadas Nachos, Garlic Bread, Quesadilla, Roasted Lamb in cilantro sauce, Taco Pizza, Mexi Puff, and Mini Burritos. Yummy!!!

  And then our  other gorgeous and pretty girlfriends  arrived: (L-R: Me, Ces, Irene, Koryn, Jana)

L: Me and my Bora twin, Jana who I missed so much!!!!  R: With our bestfriends John and Ces

  With the beautiful (and tall) Koryn

This  is the whole gang who enjoyed the Mexican buffet that night: L-R: Emyr, Dok, Chi-Chi, John, Vicente, Irene, Ces, Koryn, Jana, Peter, Van, Mark

It’s so nice to know that no matter how many years have passed (almost 20 years for the Bulacan troop — Mark, Van, Dok & Chi-Chi; 13 years for John & Emyr; 7 years for Ces, Irene & Vicente; 3 years for Koryn) and no matter how far our locations are from each other, our oldest friends were able to come. Iba na talaga ang may pinagsamahan. As for Jana who I became friends with just this January during the Boracay Fundboard Cup, she already felt like an old friend to me. I actually consider her my “twin”. 

And finally, at around 9:30 pm, we all headed to our house and drank the night away. We had all kinds of drinks!!! 

 Flavored wines, mixers like blue curacao, grenadine & lime, Tanduay rhum, Vodka, softdrinks, flavored  Lambanog…

And of course, San Mig Light, Red Horse beer & Infinite 

Peachie and Ernest were able to make it to our “wasakan” night!  My invitation said that only alcoholic beverage and pica-pica will be served at home. So alcohol & Pica-pica it is!

 Alin,

 Alin,

 Alin and naiba…

They’re all drunk (except for Irene) in this picture… They’re just pretending to be sober. 

Thanks so much to our friends who were able to make it despite the typhoon! There’s gonna be a part II, I think.  I’m gonna update you all soon. Mwah! Mwah! Mwah!
