On my birthday, I did not plan anything!  But I did plan to be HAPPY on my special day 🙂  After all, We don’t really need to do anything to be happy

That day, I kept my schedule free so I could relax. So I treated it like any normal day and did my usual routine of waking up, going to Bootcamp to exercise and then realised this seems to be the same thing I did last year although my best friend, Eds, did not join me this year!!

But then my other best friend, Ned, surprised me after class with a breakfast with all my best friends so I still saw Eds!  Same people from last year plus Laura who joined us this year 🙂 This is all I really need to be happy!  Conclusion:   I am expecting this every year from now on! haha 🙂    

Our healthy breakfast at the Manila Polo Club! 🙂 

We talked about eyesight and that I am far sighted!!!  A sign of age!!!  So that day I went to the optical store and ordered lenses

And last minute, I called some friends to join me for a foot massage at the Foot Massage Lounge.

 Three of them could make it on short notice 🙂 I requested for a family room so we could all be together!  🙂  FUN!!

Prayers after that 

And again a last minute dinner with my Dad and Mom who invited me over to their place and made for me my favourite dish, Rack of lamb 🙂

Plus a birthday cake from Chef Javs!  He told me he was making a special cake for me!!  A Cheese curls cake!! 🙂  Herr’s of course 🙂

Received many greetings and still appreciate electronic greetings.  Good companies make sure to remember the special day of their clients and it is much appreciated – whether it be by text 

or via email

I am a Taurus! Yup it is confirmed – my addiction is eating! 🙂  I have no other vices except eating! 🙂  Which i need to manage to have a longer and heather life

 This year the family prepared a program for Lolo for his 93rd birthday!  It was a major production obviously done with lots of love!!  I asked permission from the family for me to share this here at Heart2Heart because I am so proud of my family and I just want to LET IT GO!!!  LET IT GO!!! 🙂  All my emotions of love and happiness from what we experienced.  I made a video, unfortunately my camera was not clear and then it eventually broke right before Lolo was going to blow his birthday cake. So please bear with the blur of the videos.  

I love my family!!!!  As I always say, it’s not always the program itself but what went through behind the scenes – the rehearsals which brought the family together on several occasions, the bonding, and all the fun and laughter that goes with it.  

And to me, what’s most important and which I really felt this year was the fourth generation and how they expressed their love for Lolo.  Aside from coming up with a beautiful program, they knew that they were doing all of this for their Lolo.  It’s truly a blessing for them to witness and to spend time with their great grandfather who even knows them by their name at 93!!!

We had a very nice theme this year!! Ohana!!  My Lolo will never ever leave anyone behind!  He always makes sure that everyone is included.  

And this year he even brought with him his two brothers to join and celebrate with us

It was a three night celebration and each night had a theme! 🙂  

Thanks to our planning committee composed of the third generation cousins 

Each night our Chief of Chiefs has a special chair depending on the theme 🙂  

 and head dress which he really wore without complaints!
