Matthew's 9th Birthday + Father's Day Celebration

Since Father's Day fell on Matthew's 9th birthday. we had a double celebration. Which means nakatipid kami, haha.

I can't believe it's been 9 years since we welcome Matthew in this world. And bilis ng taon and soon I know he will have his own world.

Daddy secretly prepared those balloons. Just like Matthew's 8th birthday, we just want a simple celebration with our immediate family.

I prepared a breakfast.

Then we went to hear a mass. Saktong Father's Day so the priest called all the fathers in front to bless them. Matthew went with his Daddy and Lolo.

We chose to have an early lunch because for sure there will be long que to table reservation.

Matthew is so lucky to have a Lolo and Lola who loves him so much. Especially his Lolo who would take a leave from his work to accompany him at our home when our helper left us.

We are lucky to have a son like him. He may not be perfect and I don't want him to be one. It's more than enough that he understands us and our situation. That he's willing to help us to the best that he can.

By the way, here's the cake that we bought from Max's Bakery. This is  Max's Triple Treat cake but he wanted Max's strawberry chiffon cake sana like what we had on his Dad's birthday.

Mas masarap naman kasi yung strawberry chiffon cake e. Hehe. Anyway, we had our lunch at Pizza Hut. We chose the Pizza Hut Panalo Group  Feast for 8 at 1,999 pesos.

It includes 6 pieces crab salad rolls.

Spaghetti carbonara

Spaghetti Bolognese

Fried chicken wings

Pizza Hut Supreme Family Pan Pizza

Pizza Hut Supreme Family Pan Pizza with stuffed cheese

Here are the two celebrants.

To my little boy, you've been my strength. No words can describe how much I love you.

Ooops, before I get emotional, here's the gift that he asked from us that day.

Actually, wala na sana gift because I week before his birthday he asked a Casio watch as a gift na daw. Mukhang nalinlang kami e. Hehe.

So heto na, to these two, I hope you know hoe much I love you both. 

Kahit madalas nagbubunganga ako, haha, alam nyo naman lahat yun para sa ikakabuti nyong dalawa. Thank you for making my life easier. Thank you for understanding and loving me even at my unlovable moments. Remember that I will always be here to support, understand and love you no matter what.

Daddy A's 38th Birthday Celebration at Max's Restaurant

Two months ago, Daddy A celebrated his 38th birthday.

Before the day itself, we had an advance birthday celebration at Max's Restaurant. He didn't actually know that we will be celebrating early, we wanted to surprise him kasi. Thank God Matthew agreed too kasi lagi gusto nyan ay McDonald's. Haha. 

Since we were just three, we ordered this Adobo Ribs bundle for Php 899 only.

Daddy wanted to try their Adobo ribs.

Then we chose pancit canton for long life.

And buco pandan for dessert.

You can chose the beverages too. It can be soft drinks, iced tea or sago't gulaman. 

Aside from the Adobo Ribs bundle, I also ordered fresh lumpiang ubod (Php 99).

Of course, I didn't forget Max's fried chicken, half at Php 209.

And because it's a birthday, there should be a cake which I ordered at Max's Corner Bakery. 

This strawberry chiffon cake (Php 687) is a classic vanilla cake covered in light whipped cream. Ang sarap nya promise!

It was always nice dining in at Max's because the crews are very accommodating.

Yun lang surprise sana ang cake but the crew assigned to us asked me when to serve the cake in front of Daddy A. Haha! Nagulat ako and Daddy A was just laughing.

They served the cake in the middle of our dinner and they sang for Daddy A.

I hope Daddy A enjoyed this simple surprise birthday celebration that Matthew and I gave to him.

It was a challenging year for him but he keep his feet strong in the ground. I pray that God will keep him safe and healthy, and that He will grant the desire of his heart. 

Always remember that we will be here side by side to hold you and love you, even at your worst. 

We love you Chemist Dad!

Daddy A's Birthday Celebration at Max's

Whew! Monday na naman. Back to work again. Bakit nga ba hindi na ako nasanay? It's been yearssszzz... Hehe.

Anyway, that's why we have weekends so we can make bawi with the weekdays we are so busy with work. Weekends are for our family. Agree?

Like yesterday, since Daddy A's birthday will fall on Monday, we had his advance birthday celebration. 

Last year we celebrate Daddy A's birthday at Pizza Hut. We tried Max's Restaurant this time.

Here's my sister and Matthew while waiting for our order.

Here's the birthday boy naman.

We hardly go to restaurants because Matthew always wants fast food e.

Yesterday, I just talked to him to let his Daddy choose where we will celebrate his birthday. Pumayag naman. So we #CelebrateToTheMax!

We ordered this Max's best bundle lighter fare meal for 4 for 999.00 pesos only.

Instead of Pinoy Ensalada, we had Spicy Ginataang Kangkong na gagayahin ko one of these days, hehe. We also add Seafood Lomi for 149.00 pesos only. Total bill of 1148 pesos, no service charge. Sulit na din for kuripots like us, haha.

So thankful for Daddy A's another year.

I will always be thankful for having him as my husband and my lifetime partner. I couldn't imagine life without him. May God grant the desire of his heart and keep him healthy and safe always. 

We love you Chemist Dad!
