By the time this gets posted, I’m already on the way to the airport since my cousin’s leaving tonight for States. I wish we’d had more time with him because his leaving was too sudden ;_; He’s like my closest cousin who’s in the Philippines so I can’t help but feel really sad.
Days before the second part of my celebration last April 27 (this time with relatives and friends), I was kind of regretting the decision of having a party since everything was turning out to be the opposite of what I expected. Most of my closest friends bailed out at the last minute so just imagine how incomplete I felt at that time. However, while I was having my quiet time night before the celebration, the Lord led me to read Matthew 6:34.
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
It was such an encouraging and calming reminder that my worries immediately went away. The party turned out to be perfect. It was definitely a night to remember. Can’t thank everyone enough for being there :”) And thank You, Lord, for being the best event organizer! ♥
My lens was too limited but I still tried taking a photo of the super moon. Too bad there weren’t any clouds visible!

Baked brownies with my sister earlier. It looks messy and far from being perfect but it was surprisingly good. It makes me wish that we had an oven!
In no particulare order. :)

Great blogs! <3
Here’s Part I and Part II. I highly recommend them as well. :)
Wow, thank you!! <3
Last Wednesday, as part of my celebration, I had dinner with my family at Midas Hotel along Roxas Boulevard. I was pretty excited about it since it has already been blogged about by some of our famous bloggers.
The interiors were very pretty especially because of its being a boutique hotel. The dining area looked classy as well. The only downside is that it feels uncomfortable when I get food and take photos because the staff seem to be so observant of what the people are doing. Other than that though, they were really nice.
As for the food, the main course wasn’t as good as I’ve expected. I had some leftovers on my plate and didn’t even come back to try the others.
I decided few days ago that I would cut down on my sugar intake because I’ve been eating a lot of sweets lately but when I saw their desserts… ugh. I couldn’t resist getting another plate! I think I’ve spent most of my time eating these.
It was definitely a lovely evening with my family. I don’t regret not choosing a grand party for my 18th. Second part of my celebration will happen tonight with my relatives and friends. I do hope I’d enjoy despite many of my closest friends bailing out at the last minute ;_;
On a slightly related note, my friend and I planned to start our own 365 project on our birthdays but since I don’t think I could post daily, I decided to just do the 52-week project to keep this blog alive. Will begin tonight! :)
Oh and by the way, I just want to greet all the April celebrants a happy happy birthday! <3 God bless you!
