my 30th!

preggy me!

I’ve been meaning to post something about my 30^th birthday but laziness always got the better on me. And this laziness is triggered by the sizzling and scorching hot weather which makes me sleepy or sluggish all the time.  Summer is definitely here to stay and I long for some summer escapade with my husband. We haven’t planned anything yet but I think we have to pass this year.

Anyway, I just turned 30! 30 Oh la la! I just can’t let my 30^th year of existence goes by without documenting it. Hehe! When I was still in my 20’s, I said to myself that my 30^th would be special and that I have to throw a big party with my family and friends. Why not? It marks my three decades of being me and it’s a perfect time to really celebrate it.

 But last year, I kind of changed my plans. I decided to celebrate it with the least fortunate ones, like the orphanage or the street kids. It’s just that I am contented with my life right now and God has given me a lot of things to be thankful for.  In a way, I just want to give back and share my blessings. However, I wasn’t able to push through my plans and that makes me really sad. But I promise that I will do that one of these days… or maybe next year with my little family.

So, I spent my 30^th birthday with my husband. It was a Maundy Thursday (a holiday) but hubby got some important things to finish in the office in preparation for the audit week. For lunch, he bought Jolibee meals for both of us. Then after siesta, we went to Carmelites to lit candles and pray.  All the malls were closed but G-mall so we decided to do some grocery.

 For my birthday dinner, hubby took me to Vienna which is kind of perfect since I always love the tranquillity of that place. We were the only customers that night and I absolutely love it. It’s like we were still dating and the ambiance is apt for the occasion.

For my 30^th birthday, my generous husband, who never fails to pepper me with surprises found his way of making me happy that day. He got me a camera since my old one is no longer in good working condition. He pointed to me the SLR but it’s quite expensive and I know we have to prepare for our little one’s arrival.                                                              Besides, I don’t have the luxury of time to learn the settings and all that. I just want to have a simple camera that I can use for the “shoulda-woulda-coulda” capture moments. He also got me a necklace and earrings since I lost my old one (my favorite dolphin-pendant necklace :-(  .....and a…… MAGAZINE ORGANIZER! Hahaha… yes, I prefer things that can be used at home like organizers, curtains and the like. My preferences in gifts have changed now that I am married. Instead of clothes, shoes or bags, I am now more interested in organizers, decors, bed sheets and the like.  

yum!

Anyway, I am blessed to have a very generous husband and I thank God for finding my better half in Clyde. I could not ask for more! This year is extra special since we will have our bundle of joy come July. I pray for a happy, healthy baby and I trust God in every step of the way. I have my fears (it pops up every now and then) but when I find myself lost, I just bow my head and offer everything to God.  To God be thy Glory!

Happy 30^th to  me! Cheers to new and more daring adventures!

N.B:  I made a family happy by giving them money to buy food. I saw them on the side of the street after our dinner. The mother was holding a baby while the rest of her children are eating food on the floor. I handed her some money to buy food for their next meal. Her expression was priceless!
