The Greenery

My little boy and father-in-law celebrated their birthdays this year in a nice place.  It's a resort tucked in Baliwag, Bulacan called The Greenery.

The place is not your usual resort.  It is picturesque and the setting seems to place you out of the country.

They have a pavilion where the Grand Ballroom is located.  We did not bother to visit the insides of it.  Our target was the mini train which lit up my little boy's eyes.


There is a mini golf course plus a driving range somewhere.

The villas are cute.  They look like houses in an American suburb.  We stayed in 2 of these.  While the outer designs are nice, the interiors looked a bit neglected.  If you are the high maintenance customer, you might be disappointed.


I super like the Grand Villa.  It's a house with 5 rooms in it.  I hope the interiors look much better than the smaller villas.

My little boy and his cousins enjoyed feeding the pigeons and playing with them.


But, I guess, the best part of the holiday was swimming in the infinity pool!


The place has lots more to offer especially for those looking for venues of events and pre-nuptial photo sessions.  For more information about The Greenery, please visit them here.

Another Year.

March 22 went by again.  Of course, this is a special day for me and my little boy because it's the Daddy's birthday.


On the eve of hubby's day, the little boy and I surprised him with this...

And this...


But really... nothing else screams HAPPY BIRTHDAY other than this.



I must point out, though, that I never got any gift from the hubby during my birthday... so this screams "Happy Birthday to ME", too!


Happy birthday, love.

Yakimix Birthday Treat!

Several times I had planned to eat at Yakimix with different sets of friends but none pushed through.

Thanks to girlfriend, Len... FINALLY, I got to dine at the famous eat-all-you-can Japanese Grill Restaurant (Trinoma branch).

It was a double birthday celebration -- Len and Alvin are both July 16 babies. Len recently went to the US for her honeymoon and got guilty because she did not have any pasalubong for us.  The birthday treat was in lieu of the pasalubong... yipee!

So I learned that the Yakimix gimmick is not your usual buffet setup.  To make the experience more fun, customers cook before they munch.  The buffet choices include a great deal of raw food.



In the middle of the table, there is a grill/skillet where diners cook the food.


Price per head is at Php590.  Refillable drinks at Php75.  If you want no fuss waiting, you need to reserve a table.  They do entertain walk-ins on a first-come, first served basis but during the weekends, you may have to cross your fingers.

Now, here are the eaters of the night.. Che, birthday girl, Len, and Faye.

The cookers (and eaters) of the night... Joy and birthday boy, Alvin.

Our busog look.  See all the plates and guess how much fun we had.


Happy birthday, Len and Alvin!  Until the next Yakimix date.

Birthdays Finally Celebrated.

It took a Checheboobear to finally gather everyone.


The date was to, first and foremost, celebrate Che's birthday on May 22 (today!).  Past birthdays -- Joy's in January, mine in February and Faye in April -- went by without us seeing each other so we had to include those in our agenda.

No one really picked the Spiral in Sofitel as the venue but somehow we ended up having our small dinner party there.





As usual, food was great and PLENTY.  But my main target was the dessert buffet.









Catching up chikas... we will never run out of them.






In the middle of everything, we learned of another reason to celebrate.  I am keeping it a secret for now but here is the bearer of the good news (wink).



We enjoyed the dinner so much, we were there until almost closing time.



And we just had to take a peek of the nice pool area of the hotel.  Here were are just before going home... (birthday girl took the picture).



Happy birthday, Checheboobear!

Hey!

Hey, little boy!  You turned 3 this week.

From Digicam Shots
 

I hope you enjoyed your day/week as much as your Dad and I have been enjoying being with you since 2008.

You always say that you are not a baby anymore.  And I agree.  Time flies fast indeed so I haven't been blinking.  To tell you the truth, I secretly hope that you remain a 3 year old for I fear the day that you will love another woman aside from me.

I pray that you keep your God-given goodness until you grow up and that you will be who you want to be.  I hope you make a difference in this world in the path that you will choose.  And I wish that you continue to love me the way you do now.


Love,
Mom

This Blog and My Birthday Gifts.

Because I have been diligent in writing the things I like in this blog, I get gifts that I need and want!

Hubby decided to rely on my Christmas wishlist.  I scored two more which ups my batting average to 7/9.

First, he got me no. 6 in my list -- an iPhone earphone + mic.

He also got me no. 9 -- the Suesh Makeup Brushes!

March is hubby's month.  What to get him?  Nuninuninu... If only he has his published list...

My Day.

It all started with S&R bacon for breakfast.  My husband indeed loves me... because he knows that I am in love with bacon and S&R bacon is the best our country has.

Then, I had tons of greetings personally and via text, facebook and twitter.  This went on for the rest of the day and even up until the next day.

My new teammates bought pizza for me and sang a happy birthday song.  It was touching because many of them, I have not talked to for more than 5 minutes.

My old teammates also remembered.  They surprised me with a cake before I went home.  They also gave me a gift... leggings which fit!

We stayed in the house for dinner.  Hubby bought Wee Nam Kee.  My first time to taste it.  It was yummy.

That weekend, I treated my family to dinner... in my parents' house.  I brought in Conti's food which everyone truly enjoyed.

Here's the Chicken Barbecue.  Boneless!

Not in the picture but definitely a hit is the Lengua Estofado.


Over 30.  Should I now stop counting my age?  But I won't stop counting the blessings.  Thank you, Lord, for a beautiful life!
