Mommy's 50th Birthday: Part 1 of 2

-
Another overdue post. Lol. My mom's 50th birthday was last May 21 but it was a week long celebration so I divided the blog post into two parts.

This is my beautiful mommy! ♥


We woke her up at around 3AM to sing her a happy birthday and to give her our gifts. :)


Papa gave her the usual bouquet of flowers and letter. I swear my dad is the sweetest! There's no birthday that he did not gave mom a bouquet of flowers! As in "walang palya". Hahaha! It's a bouquet of 50 long stemmed roses by the way. :) And the Gucci bag is also from him. I gave mom an Aldo bag; my little sister gave her a long letter; and Ninang 1 gave her a blouse from Bayo. =)


We had our "paalay" that day. Paalay is when you offer flowers to Mama Mary with a group of people singing songs of praise.














Then we had our merienda/dinner right after the paalay at our Grandma's house.







The day after mom's birthday, we went to Manila to run some errands. My sister Pau surprised mom with the most delicious strawberry shortcake ever from Patisserie Bebe! =)



It's an authentic Japanese cake and it's super delicious!



A very happy birthday to the most amazing woman in the world, my Mommy! I love you beyond words and I can't tell you how much you mean to me! I know I haven't been the best daughter, with my brattiness and unpredictable mood swings. :D But even then, you love me unconditionally. I just want to thank you for everything. We are so blessed to have you as our mom and we can't imagine life without you! Couldn’t ask for a more loving, caring, patient and supportive mom. We love you so much! Happy happy birthday! ❤

Part 2 up next! :)

XOXO ♥

I always have this random feeling of missing someone -well, only one person. :P I hate this feeling, simply because I know I can't do anything about it. Damn it. Especially now that Valentine's Day is fast approaching. Couples everywhere. Bitter? Hahaha. :D I just miss the feeling and I miss him. :'( Found myself playing this song over and over again. I know he's happy with his life now. "Maybe one day, I'll find a way, to make that smile stay." XOXO ♥

Inner Peace

Repost from HERE. A Prayer For When You Need Inner Peace You are the silent prayer, where the mind wanders when it finds respite. You are the miracle that unveils the wonders of life. You are the rain that streams through the clouds and the sun that blankets the sky. You are the sound that dims the noise we don’t want to hear. You are the light that intimidates all evil. You are the silent observer who transpires every now and again. You are always there. Belief sways between contemplation and closure. You are omnipresent and unbiased, but mostly because you are inaudible. You don’t announce your presence through words, but let the tale unfold slowly instead. Sometimes, it seems you unleash your wrath when we are caught off-guard. At other times, you astonish us with marvels we never expected. You dim the lights and urge us to trudge through the blinding darkness, only so that we can reach the illumination. And when the twilight of life consumes us, your ubiquitous infl
