Lilac Flowers & Purple Icing

I love getting birthday hugs and birthday kisses. In all honestly, I only really got -semi- birthday kisses from mom and dad, no real ones. Cheeks are 'semi', and on the lips are 'real' :) My brother did give me a birthday hug... No other hugs nor kisses. Anyways, next on the list is birthday calls/texts and I guess now I have to say FaceBook posts and Twitter @'s. Thank you to everyone who greeted me today in some form or another. Friends and family truly matter the most to me.

I'm so lucky that my parents are here on my special day. It was a quiet birthday today. Waiting until next week to celebrate with the girls... Birthday presents aside, the best simple pleasures of the day were my red velvet cake and lilac roses. Xo

N.Y.E

New Year's Eve supper was spent at Tita Corito's house. We missed Rosario and Teresa... Nevertheless, our "kiddie table" was still fun and full of 2009 re-caps. Before the clock struck midnight, we took the elevator up to the rooftop *40+ stories high* and set up camp along with some of the other residents. Cameras shutter-happy and champagne ready to pop! The 360 degree view was spectacular; fireworks lighted up the Manila skyline and you couldn't help but think of how bright and promising 2010 is going to be. This year is going to be one to beat, I'm putting it out there! Xo
