The Birthday Week

Thank God for birthdays that come around to tell me how long ive been living under grace. Side comment: I realized that Birthdays are also like countdowns, each year, friends who remember are narrowing down. and friends who do remember, are more special each year. :)
Ryan and I celebrated our birthdays last week.
No partying. Just us. :)

Happy birthday to us!

my cake was the usual chocolate cake, since i prefer no other flavor. :)
and for ryan, i got him sansrival.

***Ryan's Birthday.

Ryan's birthday fell on a monday. After work, I passed by Goldilocks and got him a cake. I bought 2 and 4 for his birthday candles, as a joke to say he's only 24, but not many people know the truth, senior citizen na si ryan hahaha ;p

It was raining that time and I had to protect the box of the cake from big drops of rain so I took a tricycle from the cakeshop to home, only to find out right after the engine motor ran that now i had to protect the cake from touching the insides of the box because the ride was jumpy and the road was bumpy.

I found him in our room and I smiled ' Happy Birthday '. He seemed pleasantly surprised, I think this is the first time I got him a cake. I lit the candles up and took photos of him holding the cake.

He told me " bakit 24 yung candila? nagtitipid ka noh?" and I, thinking he meant i got the candles for free, answered defensively " hoy excuse me 11.50 per number-candle yan noh " but what he was trying to say pala was,that maybe I was going to recycle the candle by using it again on that coming friday, on my cake,since i was turning 24 then. i laughed. I actually forgot i was turning 24. but came Friday and I did. :p Anyway we had dinner at President's Tea House, I forgot what he ordered, ako shempre the usual, sweet n sour pork forever-;p but not all the time, still depends if i feel like ordering sweet n sour. ;p (and for that long-life good luck traditional belief, we ordered an extra dish.., beef hofan. :))

Now My birthday.

Ryan was not around when the clock struck midnight.But He called me on my cel a few minutes before the clock went after cinderella.

I imagined the clock making very loud Ding-Dong sounds.. as the long and short hand of the clock met at the number 12. I took a bath. I felt like it was good omen to take a bath first thing on your birthday. Ryan was still out. He got home around 2am. He was out with the bosses. They are going out of the country again for basketball business, probably Korea. Anyway, We didnt get much sleep the night before because Czesca's flu was bad. Czesca was sick on my birthday and we took her to the clinic that morning. We spent the rest of the day watching over her, and a little of it i spent on cooking spaghetti, after that we took some pictures and had dinner.

Ryan and I also dropped by 168 that afternoon and I bought myself two tops and a pair of shoes.
Then we checked out the new supermarket 'Binondo Supermarket', and passed by King's bakeshop.

Another year older for both of us. Gurang-gutan na me. wAaaAAhh. ;p
We'll always be young at heart.

To complete the day, my birthday wishes are the ff: (just 3, although I think I'm entitled to 24 wishes hahaha :p)
