Because I don’t wanna spend on unnecessary things like nail polish, my baby girl bought me the 2 OPI nail colors I’d been eyeing! Rose Quartz & Serenity for love & peace. 😉

And a Gift Certificate for a Maniped & spa treatment at Nail Tropics. How sweet & thoughtful! <3

Because it would be more fun having her along, I also treated her to one so we can chillax & get pampered together. Thank you Bae for my relaxing treat! :-*

The gift certificate my Lovey got for me allowed me to choose from any of the services available. For the manicure spa I chose the Citrus Breeze. For the pedicure spa I chose the Mint-o-feet. Both felt wonderful!

I love having daughters whom I enjoy spending time with. Sana pala nag-anak pa ako ng madami! 😛

Rose Quartz for the hands & Serenity Blue for the feet. And now for love, peace & tranquility to envelop me. 🙂

I love the sourdough bread from Paul Boulangerie & Patisserie so she made sure that in lieu of a cake, it’s what I got, lol! Always watching out for my heath. Thank you Ate. :-*

This KAREN WALKER shades because I am forever on the lookout for big eyewear to cover half my face & make it appear small hehe. 😛 The quirky style is so perfect for me. Thank you babies!

Bagay ba? 😛

Because I kept harping about not getting a bouquet on Love Day, to finally shut me up, the 3 kids got me fresh flowers from the pricey flower store, TE AMO FLORISTERIA MANILA. In 50 shades of pink too! <3

And just when I thought they were all gifted out, I get another one on the day of my birthday. Ito pala ang pambansang regalo nila! ;)) perfect fit. Every surprise that they gave came out aces!

Now Kap & I are match-matchy. Truly SOLE-mates! Don’t let the photo fool you, my feet are size 8.5! And still I’m dwarfed by Kap’s size 11. Ya know what they say about men with big feet hehe. 😉

Nothing warms my heart more than seeing my mother & 2 daughters lovey-dovey. Thank you girls for taking my mom out on a date & valuing her.  For without her, where will I be. :-*

What could be better than a custom-made birthday cake from my mom & daughter?

But because she says she didn’t contribute much to the cake decorating at Tous Les Jours, she went ahead & bought me a store-made cake! Oh mommy, I really love the cake you decorated with Jena. It is THE BEST CAKE ever because it was made with L-O-V-E! :-*

Yes, even our dear old Lelly thinks so too. 😉 But thank you nonetheless, Mommy.

As I was hurriedly dressing up to take Ate for her graduation photoshoot early morning of my birthday, Kap came in our bathroom bearing a BIG bouquet of gorgeous red ROSES! \m/ Terno pa sa damit ko, lol. Sabi nga nila, kung hindi madala sa santuhang dasalan, daanin nalang sa santuhang paspasan hahaha! Nakuha rin sa parinig! Thank you my Honey. :-*

Me, my roses, and my happy cleavage hahahahaha! #bombastar

At hindi lang yun. Aba, nagmilagro na talaga! May PANDORA bracelet pang kasama! Yaaaaay! Kap promised to build up my charms starting on my recently concluded birthday & for the rest of our lives together (na sana mahaba-haba pa). We started with a silver heart clasp bracelet & a solitary cake charm as a keepsake for my 2016 birthday celebration. Can’t wait for the next occasion! Now he can just head on over to the nearest Pandora store whenever a special day arises & not be stumped on what to give me. Whyever did we not think of this earlier? We have a looooong way to go Kap, and so many charms to choose twogether. Game KNB?

Her bff, JASMIN (Jasmin B. MUA) offered to do my make-up for free as a birthday gift. So even though Ate was the star for her photoshoot & salingkit lang si mommy, I also got dolled up. :))

Jasmin does the BEST & most natural make-up, I swear. She took several courses and now does make up professionally. Do hit her up when you find the need to be prettified for any occasion. JASMIN BUENSALIDA – Make Up Artist, by appointment 0917-7951794.

Tada. O diba, nagmukhang tao ako? 😉

Ate got the basic package from the studio, then shared her poses with me so I can also be a part of her graduation photoshoot. Thank you so much Ate for always making me a part of your experience, and for always sharing your special moments with me to keep in our treasure trove of memories. I was the only mother in the studio, by special request. And my heart was swelling with love & pride that my daughter wanted me there huhu. I lovah yew Ate! :-*

All dolled up & ready to go. My bright & shining star. <3

For her last 2 poses, she beckoned me to join. Of course I readily & gamely posed. Hello, have you met me? The original camwhore, trololol! 😛

All her shots were beautiful, but she can only choose 1 for the yearbook.

Whad’ya say about this shot? Nice right? <3 This one goes in the yearbook.

Her barkada for 4 solid years, through thick & thin. Thank you ladies for being kind to my baby. When she started college I was a nervous wreck, thinking she won’t have any friends. And now almost 4 years later, she has found sisters in all of you. <3

My oh my! 2 boxes of Ms. Piggy Decopaos! In assorted flavors of Chicken teriyaki, Pork Asado, Beef teriyaki, Custard, & Choco nutella. The first 3 are my absolute favorites! Thank you so much Richard & Irene for going through all the trouble for lil big ol me! <3 A most thoughtful & unique gift indeed.

You may order your own tasty decopaos here –> MRS. K’s DECOPAO. She can make any design you want for your siopao! \m/

There are siopaos that are lovely to look at but tastes like paste. This one I assure you, 100% in looks AND taste! \m/ I highly recommend Mrs. K’s Decopao.

Woooooooow!! Thank you so much MARLA & ACACIA HOTEL MANILA for my BEAUTIFUL birthday cake. This very special cherry cheesecake was just too pretty to eat, but of course I still had a slice for the sweetest dreams. Love, love, love to my Acacia Hotel Manila family! And thank you most of all for taking the time to make a personalized MS. PIGGY birthday card. This one I’m definitely framing & hanging!

Celebrated my birthday not just for a day, but a whole week! Thank you KAI & TUS RESTAURANT for the sweetness overload! My heart was so happy with the love & thought that came with this surprise package!

Thank you Ate for being my makeup artist, my stylist, my mommy, my yaya, my everything. And thank you again & again for yet another surprise! Love this beeyootiful necklace which I will wear as soon as we buy an outfit with a very loooow neckline hahaha. I love you!! :-*
