Mom's birthday is never hard to forget since it falls on Labor Day.
I was busy the whole day answering calls from friends and relatives who wanted to greet her a heypee burpday!
Boy, did my ears ached! LOL.
That was an exaggeration, of course.
So anyhoo, we decided to have a quiet little family dinner at Cafe Uno - Waterfront Lahug (the family's 2nd favorite restaurant)
And since we came up with this decision during dinnertime the day before while experiencing a power outage,
mom decided to invite my lolo Ben's brother, lolo Memong and his wife, lola Zeny.
Mommy with lolo and lola
You may ask then WHY she clearly wanted lolo Memong and lola Zeny to be her special guests?
While we were still living at my lola's house and we'd experience a power cut for God knows how long, lolo Memong would come knocking at our door faster than I could finish singing the ABC.
Much to my delight, he'd bring us dozens of candles (and even a box of matches at one point) coz he knew pretty well that my dad wasn't around.. He was at the hospital complying his duty hours as a senior resident and maybe lolo reckoned that it would be hard for my mom to buy extra candles at the store while she had 2 kids to look after. So lolo Memong would go out of his way and walk the dark 20-metres that separated our house from theirs to give us the candles. This went on for years until we moved out of our lola's place. Sweet, isn't he?
You may all find this simple but it sure meant a lot to me, my sister and my mum.
And so on her special day, mom wanted to make them feel special too by having them as her only guests.
xoxo to you both and much lovin' to my mom!
Happy Birthday!
This is what I wore to dinner.
Would have wanted to wear my new sky highs but since I was still getting used to driving the new baby and adjusting to the AT (I've been driving a MT vehicle ever since I learned the basics), I decided to just ditch my new loves and go for my overused chainlink t-strap sandals instead. In fairness, they're much more comfy and easy when driving and besides, mom was already giving me the im-not-so-comfortable-with-your-footwear look. lol.
planned outfit for the evening
Anne Michelle T-strap shoes that I loooove to death!

The whole family went to Carmelite Monastery yesterday afternoon then made a beeline to IT Park, Lahug. My dad was craving for grilled burgers but we ended up …
Drove down south to accompany sisterette to Talisay District Hospital to do PA on her would-be patient for the week. And because I hate waking up so early, I sprawled on my bed far longer than I should have and ended up scurrying around to get ready. I went loca for a few minutes trying to figure out what to wear. Ugh. This is what I don't like.. having to rush on choosing my get-up for the day! Drat.
Knowing that I'll be behind the wheel all day since sissie here doesn't know how to drive yet, wore the most comfortable ensemble I could find that would still look A-okay for an afternoon of malling :)
NY&Co Snakeskin Hobo my boyF got me for my bday last year. I love it to death!
Oh and thanks too for my watch babe! :)
As I was browsing through my albums while waiting for my uploads to finish, I found this pic and realized that I've worn my bottoms twice already but just dint have the chance to blog it coz I was busy writing about some other things that time. teehee :D
