Sunday family lunch celebrating the January birthdays – Aunty Remy & Tammy- especially our “big baby” Javs #chefjavs and remembering today ( Jan 28) Nana Carmelita who left us 12 yrs ago.
Since we noticed that the de Jesus family likes ice cream ( aside from chocolate) i thought of a sorbetero bday cake for the bday celebrants. It also became Javs bday treat to the staff who for sure he would have treated if he were here #h2htribute #h2hcelebrations#h2hsundayfamilylunch

Surprise! Happy 18th bday Javs #chefjavs
He had to go to the tennis courts to train on his bday so i thought he would be happy to celebrate with his friends there – the ballboys & the trainers who he loves. We made it a surprise as they all gathered to greet him with a cake.
When he woke up he asked me for money and he went to @rustansfresh to buy ingredients and he cooked spaghetti for the staff at home and my mom’s staff. He went there to his lola’s house personally to give them the spaghetti. My heart melted when i saw him do this – my son who is always so thoughtful and caring to these people who we sometimes take for granted. And he has always been like this even when he was a kid – very generous and kind to them thats why they are his friends. He turns 18 today and I don’t worry about him because I know he has a big heart and that’s what is important to me #h2hcelebrations Stolen photos from the maids haha!! He does not like me to take his photo
