I decided to blog instead of sulking here in the
lib for having such a very slow internet connection, gahh! I haven’t blogged
for quite sometime and have not updated on the “what ups” of my life.
Anyhoo, I am already 29! Oh, how time rolls by.
On my birthday, I did not plan anything grand and besides I am not used to
having birthday parties. So, I went to school, dropped by the chapel and
prayed. I had my morning class and then went home for lunch. I took a catnap in
the afternoon then after dozing off for an hour or two, I was awaken by my
husband who was standing at the threshold with a box of cake on one hand and a
bottle of drink on the other. He always managed to pull off a surprise again! I
mean, we just plan to have dinner outside, nothing fancy—just the two of us in
some random resto in the city. But he went home early from work to purchase those
goodies and bring it home to surprise me.
We
then had a dinner date at Itallinis- one of the newest restos in the city that
offers delightfully tasty dishes/food. But prior to my birthday, my hubby took
me to a shopping spree. I got a classic denim dress from Folded and Hung and a
pair of shoes from Reef. I don’t really buy clothes that much because I am
comfortable with what I have in my closet. I only buy when I’m really, really
digging for it or if I have enough moolah to spent away. So, it’s quite a
luxury if my hubby will treat me to some shopping galore. I guess I also need that.. after all the challenges and temporary setbacks that beset us early on in
our marriage; the miscarriage, the moving in and out and car scratches and car accidents.
Through it all, we were able to surpass it and now we welcome more happy
surprises from the Guy up above.
Anyway,
before our dinner date, my hubby took me to a “watch boutique” (whatever way to
call it) and there we checked on the latest wrist watches of Fossil. I am a
Fossil girl and I dig on their styles but the watches they had there did not
pique my interest at all. Then I moved across and got attracted with the
simple, rounded silver wristwatch from Kenneth Cole. It was sitting prettily in
that mirrored glass. For me, it screams of class and simplicity. Ahh, I fell in
love with it and the next thing I knew, my hubby asked the saleslady to fish it
out and have it tried on my wrist. Then…
the rest was history. Hahaha!!
Actually,
I have been itching to get a new watch since my jurrasic Fossil retired
already. I had it since 2nd year college and it served thy master
well. It can still be fixed though…but I MISPLACED IT!!!because we kept on moving in and out from one place to the other. I did not expect that my hubby will buy me one
on my birthday since we have been saving moolah for rainy days..and yes, to pay
bills.
BUT… My hubby swept me off my feet again. He
took me by surprise!
Thank you Hunny Bee for loving me and for making
me the happiest girl on my birthday.
My 29th is super special because I
spent it with the man I chose to love forever.
