These are a few of my Favorite Things

I am so glad that it's over. Well I guess I'm just being overly dramatic but I am still unable to accept the fact that I am now 30 years old.

It is such a big number. I am now at the far end of the age bracket when answering surveys. I still get to check the 26-30 age group though. Or is it the 30-35? I hope it's the former. LOL!

So anyway, I slept early last Monday night and I do not intend to be awake when the clock strikes 12. (So for those who texted me a couple of minutes before 12, my apologies for not texting back ASAP)

I spent my birthday lounging in my room and surfing (not blogging!) and had dinner with Aris and my folks at the LP branch of Hap Chan restaurant. I was craving for their spicy tofu so I suggested that we eat there. I or rather we were disappointed with the food. It was so much different from what Aris and I ate at their QC branch. After that, we went home with a full stomach despite the fact that we didn't enjoy the food. LOL!

This however, is just half of what happened on my birthday. Before I tell you the whole story... Sing with me first...

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad

~ START ~

12:00 am - Aris called to greet me a happy birthday.

12:05 am - Aris called again to tell me that he's standing outside our house. Surprise!

12:08 am - I went out to open the door and saw him carrying a bouquet of flowers... and balloons. I went inside to put the put down the two bouquets.



12:10 am - He was scrambling inside the car and grabbed something big and pink. At first I thought it was cotton but it turned out to be a pink elephant stuffed toy. It was one of the Care Bears cousin, Lotsa Heart.



12:12 am - He went back yet again to his car and was carrying a red square box. Immediately I knew what it was.... It was one of my favorite chocolate cakes - Hungry Pac. Yummy! Plus, it had 30 unlit candles on it. Aris was apologizing because he ruined the surprise because he can't carry everything at once. (aaaww.. ang cute!) No picture for this one. :-)

12:20 am - He has lit all 30 candles and was singing. I made a wish and blew all the candles.

12:30 am - We were getting ready to sleep as I know he's super tired from his "trip" when I noticed something under my blanket. It was another surprise for him. Hehe! My first and the only one that somehow hides how wide my feet are.



12:35 am - We went to bed and I was hugging Lotsa Heart elephant. :-)

****************************************
8:30 pm - We went home after dinner and we were chatting in my room.

9:00 pm - I grabbed "Arnulfo", the name Aris gave Lotsa Heart elephant, who is a girl by the way. LOL! I was busy chatting with Aris when I saw on her tusk something shiny. I looked again and saw the pink bracelet that I've been eyeing in Surf World. It's the Colantotte magnet bracelet. Wee!!!
