My First 39 Post

Too much hype over a number .. hahaha!

Yes! I am excited to turn 40! One more year to go!

My birthday was well spent .. hectic .. but well spent up to the last minute!

On the eve of my birthday we were at my Mom's house and had a mini celebration .. was home at 1:30 am.

Woke up really early as i was scheduled for training (my new career) and met up with a lot of online friends (what a treat!) and the new venture looks promising .. so a good start really as i turn 39.

After the training (3:30pm) went to Serendra Boni High to party with my kids and niece (same birthday) and decorated cookies and cupcakes at Marta's Bakeshop ... then off to a sumptuous dinner with the entire Avellana family at Dampa in Libis ... home before 12:00 am and was surprised when a large Brooklyn pizza came (Christian secretly placed the order as soon as we got in ) and put a candle in the middle and they all sang the most popular song in the planet .. hahaha!

Vin asked me "mama, what is your favorite gift?"

I answered him, "Bibin my favorite gift of all were the cards you and your sisters made for me." and believe me they really were my favorite. I have come to realize that i do not need anything anymore ... but the drawings and words of my kids on paper is priceless.

I looked at Christian and said "But for you, i would like handsome looking home theater seating so you can enjoy watching your favorite movies."

I only want the best for my family .. because that is all they deserve!

I am so blessed with such a wonderful family!
