Sweet Birthday Moments

02.08.2014 by Leah //

A big THANK YOU to all who greeted me on my birthday last Thursday!

And in case you didn’t know, The Bright Spot also turned 1 last February 5 so it’s like a double celebration for me.

AJ also surprised me with my favorite New York Cheesecake from Purple Oven and baked this Sugar-Dusted Moroccan Chocolate Cake na naubos agad!

I chose to celebrate my turning 36 quietly at home, with my family cooking my favorites:  spaghetti and fried chicken!   I just bought some prosciutto and provolone cheese to go with the wine we bought especially for the occasion.   We also had pepperoni pizza from Papa John’s (not in picture).  Yummy!

My brother Dino was also present on my birthday, something that rarely happens now that he’s based in Cebu.    Si Juvvy at Liam na lang ang kulang hehe!

Then yesterday, my officemates hosted a merienda for me and they invited my friends from the other departments.   I had a blast!

But the highlight of this year’s celebration was my age.  A lot of people still could not believe I just turned 36, hehe!  So thank you to all who said I look like I just turned 25 or 26!  =)   I have no secrets really in staying young-looking.  Or maybe my not wearing make-up has something to do with it.

Have a great weekend, friends!

    Belated Happy Birthday to one of my favorite bloggers 🙂 And yes, you look way younger than 36. Maybe the inner happiness that radiates on your blog defines your younger look.

    Wishing you all the love and happiness!

We were able to try the famous souffle pancakes an We were able to try the famous souffle pancakes and french toast of @grampancakesph without going out - thanks to @grabfoodph ! I used to love taking pics of food for #foodstagram but now that everything's in takeout boxes, nakakatamad mag-food styling hehe! Anyway, whether it's in fancy plate or takeout box - the food should still taste good. And this one definitely did not disappoint! The souffle pancakes were oh so good, and despite traveling in a box were really soft up to the last bite. Yumyum! #doitforthegram

Our first summit event under the new normal. It wa Our first summit event under the new normal. It was so nice to finally see everyone face to face and have uninterrupted discussions that lasted past 8pm! I get to enjoy free coffee the whole day too. ☕️☕️☕️ Two things I find cute though: everyone now carries a disinfectant spray or alcohol (in every shape and brand), and wears a lanyard for their face mask 😄  #NCRFSDSummit
