My 31st Birthday

I got overwhelmed with all the greetings and well wishes I received today on Facebook and Twitter. It's a nice feeling knowing that people cared to drop you a line and somehow joined you with the celebration. Thank you, dear friends, for making my day a very special one.

Well, what made this day unforgettable? First, I get to spend a hefty lunch with my hubby at House of Minis. Mom volunteered to take care of my lil' one when she came home so hubby and I can spend more time together. Such a sweet gesture, Ma! ♥

To tell you more about HoM, it is located at Shoppesville, Greenhills. This restaurant has a romantic dining ambiance having those waiters wearing white long sleeves but I wasn't quite impressed because of the old wooden walls surrounding me. I must say though that if you're looking for an affordable and tender-licious steaks then this is a guaranteed place to be. To our pleasure, after taking our orders, we were served with a bowl of cream of corn soup, coleslaw, and also bread and butter.

 

We were too busy doing our own thing so I forgot to take a picture of what he ordered. I chose Mini Pepper steak (below) while his was Porterhouse. When our waiter poured those gravy on my plate, I literally smelled like I sprayed a bottleful to myself. Tsk!



I just shrugged it off and just enjoyed my food. I can only eat a well-done steak and this one is really good. So tender! Hubby looked for rice as the serving doesn't include one. He ordered two cups which I already expected that he can't finish. His Porterhouse looked like it weighed a kilo! We were also served vanilla ice cream for dessert. Happy tummy, can't argue with that! ^^

I got three special gifts this year and I really loved it. This watch I'm wearing is hubby's gift from Mango. It matches our wedding ring so I'm looking forward to wearing it everyday in the office. My top friends Chris and Mel gave me a stylish Celine handbag, which btw is a surprise gift! The execution was just so perfect! Haha! The other one, I will tell you all soon.

   

Lord, thank you for this life and for this wonderful journey. Thank you so much for taking care of me for 31years. I cannot thank you enough for waking up each day seeing the face of my lovely daughter. This will always be the best birthday gift to me.

Much Love,
