Yes! i'm proud to be 31, why? because... the fact is i'm 31, what's not to be proud of? i have a great husband who loves and adores me, i love my life, what's not to love? I feel proud because I've been blessed with 31 years of good life! And there's no point of hiding it. I don't get it why some people pretend and hide their age, bakit mag-aaply ba kayo at may age limit o sadya lang pinababata niyo mga sarili niyo? sinong niloko niyo? siguro yung mga naghihide ng age hindi masaya sa life nila? oh well, the hell i care! lol
I told Mark from the start not to have a party and no more surprises, because for years now na nagsusurprise party sha for me, lagi naman akong hindi naka-ayos, so i said i want to be beautiful kahit ngayon lang sa birthday ko (shempre, alangan naman may magsabi sa birthday mo, uy angpanget mo, asiwa naman diba, plastic muna, pag lumipas na ang panahon sasabihin nila uy di ka nakaayos nung last bday mo) i mean totoo naman, parang galing ako ng gym kahit di naman ako nag ggym! My theme for my 31st birthday is be beautiful, fab and glamorous! regardless if may party or wala, kahit mag-isaw lang kme sa kanto basta maganda ako yun ang gusto ko! (pagbigyan kahit wla ng lunas, ang importante, dreams do come true! lol) After contemplating, i said "Yes" to Mark (parang nagpropose lang?!) , okay let's have the party, besides its a celebration of life, and its always warm and great to celebrate birthdays with people who truly matter to me.
EKSENA:
August 16, 2011: naghanap ng lugar ng pagdadausan ng party, i told Mark i want a place that's new to their eyes, a refresher, di mausok, maayos, malamig. At sa wakas may nahanap kame, special thanks to my good friend Gemma na bestfriend ng isa ko pang good friend na si Belle! The Roofdeck Bistro at examiner! never ko pa napuntahan, never ko pa nakainan, pero okay nman siguro, bahala na, tutal mabait yung owner :) ok naman yung place sabi ko kay Mark, in fact malamig, ang problema, wlang elevator, kamusta naman sa mga preggy guests ko? so text brigade na to, and event invite at FB with this warning "Ladies, there's no elevator so easy on the heels, the guys can handle the stairs" Before texting everyone, i had to find a cake, yun lang hinihingi ko to blow a nice glam cake, buti may nag accomodate sa akin.
August 17, 2011: gumising ng maaga, nagpunta ng mall, naghanap ng isusuot. Maraming salamat sa Forever21.(plugging) Very affordable! Mark bought shoes din at Payless, pero di naman niya sinuot nung party! adik! nagpalinis ng nails sa Tips and Toes at nagpalagay ng eyelash extension,nagpa facial si Mark nagtext kay Gerain, owner of Roofdeck Bistro for the food....
August 18, 2011: gumising ng tanghali. Binuksan ang facebook, my phone had to be charged because nadrain na sa dami ng nagreet, super thank you sa mga naka-alala! nakarecieve din ako ng mensahe sa mga di makakadalo dahil may sakit, may problema sa bahay, may work, lahat yan naintindihan ko! (pinagpray ko pa yung iba na may sakit, so konsensha na nila if wala tlaga sila sakit). Meron din naman mga badvibes-- mga nagsinungaling na pupunta pero di naman nagpunta(i hate people who'd say they'll come but won't tsk! mahirap bang magtext???), anjan din yung dineadma ka lang wag lang makapunta (badvibes diba?) pwes burado na kayo sa buhay ko che!!! at meron ding manganganak na, na-excite ako, si walking buddy Hannah manganganak na :)
First stop! Adoration Chapel at St. Paul Apostle Parish in Mother Ignacia. I prayed really hard and thanked the Lord for a wonderful life,i thanked God for a healthy life and healthy marriage, loving friends... it rained really hard,i said okay lang po mag rain hard i love the rain, pero sana po before magstart party ko tapos na rin si ulan.
After praying, Mark and I ate and went to get my haircut at Piandre. Nakaugalian ko na to always have a haircut on or before my birthday, so I had it styled cut short and i luvet! at least nakablow dry nako bago pumunta sa party. Bongga! I was surprised to see my balloons, gift ni gemma and belya! ang cute pink and black :) eh bumili din kme ni mark pero walang name nagmamadali na kse haha.... my prayers worked the rain stopped. and here's the party....God is good!
