Birthday Update

I can't really remember the last time I felt this special on my birthday. Despite the failed surprise attempts (i.e. Text message: "Di ba po birthday ni ate meg today? Let's surprise her... Pwede ba kayo?" My reply: "Oo, pwede naman ako.") I really appreciate the effort.


I was also surprised how my officemates were able to sneak in the cake without leaving a trail. And the effort to walk a guy through buying a cute present was heartwarming haha.


That day Lu texted me, "So what do you want to do ba?"
I replied, "Go wild. Eat lots of gelato and sing off-key."
Actually, I typed from the top of my head. And I meant it more in a figurative way really.

But after the planned dinner at Amici (where yes, I had my gelato fill), they brought me to Music 21 where I got to sing my heart out mindless of those musical technicalities called notes. Oh yeah. I sang like a drunk boy in puberty, but who cares. Never mind that I was a sober 26-year old female. It was my freaking birthday.

















I got pretty special stuffed presents too (aside from my one year supply of kikay things?). The aforementioned stroke-victim bear, a stuffed uhm, hand warmer is it? which I am not sure if it is winking or...*horrified gasp* could it have suffered stroke too? and a quadriplegic, but awfully adorable, pup.




Seriously, thanks guys.
*hugs*

(*sorry for those not included in the photos... for some reason, there weren't much group photos that night)

The first gift I've ever gotten today-- my special stroke-survivor bear

I have a hilarious back story for this one promise. But ain't it special? wahaha

The Revenge of the Chubby Chicks

First.

The history of the monicker.
Layla (my temp roomie) and I were thinking of a theme that will suit our freshly painted almost-pastel green walls, our cheesecloth-like curtains, floral bedsheets (in pastel colors) and curtain rods with chipped white paint.


Me: "Oh! There's such a style, right? A bit rustic and all?"
Layla: "Yeah, it's called 'Shabby Chic'."
Me: "Great. Now we have a theme. Chubby Chicks. and oh. Liz is not allowed in here."







So.

The Chubby Chicks went out to have a wild night last night. It had been a long day for the both of us. We went to the mall and we shopped for desks and chairs. Pretty wild, huh?
But it didn't stop there! We got ourselves stuffed with meat at Tokyo Tokyo, had extra rice and upsized our red iced tea! This is our way of getting back at Cat-teeh (Korean pronunciation of Cathy , I guess?) for making us eat lame veggies and fish day after day. I thought that was a good blog title so. there.

The Revenge of the Chubby Chicks (against Cat-teeh).

(And oh, it sounds like the day ended uneventfully, but we had Dairy Queen ice cream to end our wild night. I even wonder if it's LEGAL to have so much almond slivers in your chocolate ice cream hehehe).
