A birthday gift for myself

Today's my birthday!  And, I'm a year older and, hopefully, wiser.  It's 57 / 57.

To celebrate, my family ate lunch at City Buffet in SM City Fairview.  After our lunch, we proceeded to the Cyberzone Center and bought myself a gift.  And, guess what I got . It's a laptop - Acer Aspire V5-132P.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Congratulations, Trisha Mae & Paolo

CONGRATULATIONS!

Good luck on your new journey in life!

I'm wishing you all the best!

It's my treat, this time

Did you think that Mae graduation celebration has been concluded.  You're wrong!

From, White Corals Resort, we convoyed to Subic Bay Freeport Zone and resumed the celebration at the favorite Xtremely Xpresso Cafe.

Stop posing! Let's order!

Big Ben Pizza

Carbonara

Pesto Pasta

Chicken Oriental Salad

Chili Wings

Chips and Dips

My Iced Capuccino.  No beer for me yet.

Guess who footed the bills?  It's Wifey!

Mae celebration continues - Day 2

I woke up at about 4:30 AM and prepared for my biking adventure to Subic Freeport - Morong Gate.

While waiting for the sunrise, I concocted and ate my breakfast - adobo sandwich with cheese and lettuce!

I left at about 6 AM and returned three hours after.

Mae offered me halo-halo, which I gladly accepted and thanked her.  It's so refreshing while resting.  Then, I devoured my breakfast of hotdog, tocino, egg, and garlic rice.  And, the dip into the sea water made me more refreshed.  Back again at the table to eat more.

Lunch time.  Aside from the left-overs from yesterday, sis-in-law cooked stewed prawns and fish.

Still full, I only ate a small portion of stew and adobo.

After eating, we hurriedly packed our things; as, our time at the resort was running out.

Thanks again, Mae and sis-in-law, for your wonderful blow-out.

Mae's celebration

After the graduation ceremony came the celebration.  It's an overnight stay at the Bataan White Corals Beach Resort in Morong, Bataan

And, wow!.  The food was aplenty food, which was good for a battalion. Thus, it turned out to be an "eat all you can, but, you can't" situation.

Actually, I'd started eating ready to eat food as soon as I sat on the table - boiled sweet potato, chico, lettuce, adobo sandwich.  There some more - corn, mango, halo-halo, etc.

The cute celebrator, Mae:

The special guests:Potpot and Pancake, respectively:

The long and wide table:

The cooks: Wifey and Mae's Mama:

 
"Just wait for a while please; and, the dinner shall be served":

The dinner:  Kare-kare seafood, grilled talakitok, grilled squid, lettuce salad, and the chicken adobo:

That's a sumptuous dinner.  I still wanted to eat more but  . . .  There were left-overs, which would be dealt with tomorrow.

Thanks, Mae!  I wish next month you graduate again.

Congratulations, Mae, on your graduation

Happy graduation, Mae; and, Congratulations on this achievement.

Mae is our niece - the daughter of my sister-in-law.  She just finished B. S. in Information Technology at Colegio de San Juan Letran - Bataan.  And, today is their Graduation Ceremony.

I'm wishing you the best of luck on the next chapter of your life!

But, first, let's celebrate! He he he . . . Oh, by the way, we have an invitation from her to celebrate her success at a beach resort in Morong, Bataan tomorrow.  See you then, Mae!

My good friend treats me

My good friend and former boss, Albert, came to the office late this morning to treat me for lunch.  He just celebrated his birthday last Thursday; hence, the treat.

When was the last time that we saw each other?.  Four, five years ago?  Oh! I couldn't remember anymore.  He, too, couldn't exactly recall.

We ate at the Tea Republic located at the ground floor of the building.  While eating, we talked about our illnesses, the good old days, and updates on our former office mates.

Belated happy birthday, Pards; and, thank you very much for the lunch.  Hope to see you again soon, perhaps, with Robbie, Gerry, and Ric.
