Happy 40th Birthday

to a stylish woman….a woman full of life

RACHELLE! 

rache1.jpgrache2.jpgrache3.jpgrache4.jpgrache5.jpgrache6.jpg

A week before Rachelle’s birthday, she asked all of us to make a one liner description of her turning 40 and a prize will be given to the best ones….and these were the winners: 

rachelle-40-one-liners.jpg

Rachelle is indeed looking great at 40!  And more than blooming and looking beautiful at 40, Rachelle is one of the nicest persons that I know.  I admire her because she is a good friend, a  good wife,  a loving mother and a faithful servant of God.  She is always giving her time to serve – whether at home, at school and at church.  I enjoy being with her because she is always happy and bringing positive energy to everything around her. And most of all, she never pretends to be someone else…. and I like her the way she is.    Thank you Rachelle for being my friend and for being an ANGEL here on earth.

Rachelle prepared her own special day.  She announce to everyone that she is now an eventologist and that she now can be hired to put together events – from the invitations to the decorations, giveaways, and anything to create a perfect occassion.  She is very creative!

Joint Birthday Celebration at Antonio’s

By | Celebrations, Foodie | One Comment

This was Dad and Mom’s treat to all of us celebrating our birthdays!  We always have a joint birthday celebration since me and my siblings are all April and one in May but we missed our other brother this time who was out of town.  So it is almost an annual event.  It was a busy weekend and some of us were a bit hesitant to go all the way to Tagaytay but then Mom tells us that she really takes time out to plan for all of us….which she really does despite her busy schedule and we do really appreciate her love and effort for all of us!! So of course, we were COMPLETE! 🙂  And though we all love Antonio’s, I whispered to Mom that I thought that it was more her favorite than ours!  🙂  

We of course had a great time and enjoyed the food!!!
