beeday!

A day before my birthday (another year older!), Vinces sent me a text message asking what my handa would be. I replied "Wala! he he he".

I was actually planning to have a simple feast so I informed Enot and the kids to come over for merienda. Of course, di mawawala ang pancit (for long life). I bought ice cream instead of a Red Ribbon cake because I thought Vinces and Jakob prefer the ice cream. She particularly loved the strawberry flavor!

For dinner, we had grilled tilapia and I prepared a mango salad. Vinces and Jakob were the last to eat because they're engrossed with the internet games.

mango salad ingredients:

• green mango
• salted egg
• white onions
• tomato

In a nutshell, it's a simple celebration but I was happy nonetheless. I was greeted by friends and family. And of course, having the kids around meant a lot to me.
