Quiet Birthday

Contrary to last year's "funfare" birthday party, I decided to celebrate my birthday with some of my special friends (from UP) at Subic. I wanted to celebrate it quietly but realizing we were with their cute kids (Jared, Sasha, Rorie), it was not quiet after all.

Sasha has grown up faster than I thought and she was playing "ghost" with Rorie (the "roaring lion"). We were shocked to hear Rorie's "lion" roar the first time Sasha was doing that scary "zombie attack". Jared is now more of a kuya to them, leading them to run around the house. We missed Andrea, Andrew and Luis this time.

The rainy Saturday prevented us from hitting the beach so we just bought food supplies and nestled in that cozy staff house which we rented.

Evening came and the "adults" decided to check out Subic's nightlife, ending up in Pier One. The music was good, the conversation was fine (unraveling our guest's lovelife) and the night was cold. What else would be the best closing act than sing with the band. I thought of just singing "Love Moves in Mysterious Ways" (already my 2nd time) to kind of redeem myself from a "slight embarrassment" during one of those "Private Conversations" c/o Boy Abunda hehehe.

Finally the sun came shining that Sunday morning and we were able to ride those “GO KARTS”. All of us adults rented one kart, even Jared, Sasha and Rorie were with us (naka-kalong lang naman sa mga parents nila). Funny thing is Rorie even fell asleep during those 10 laps hehe. Twas a very good experience for me, there were na gusto ko na lang humarurot, nonetheless, my “safe side” always told me to step on the brakes. Safe driver ba?

There were a few special people I missed during that day, my parents, my brother and sister-in-law, my pamangkins, Carol, Natz, Jas, and other close friends. However, I knew their love and prayers are with me.
