my birthday week started with a church message on giving. at the time, i did not grasp the implication yet. it is only now that i realize just how much this affects me especially this week. ^_^ it was my birthday and i did receive my share of gifts, but it felt great sharing my blessings through my birthday treats as well. this blessed sunday was then followed by a pampered monday, massage after work. on tuesday, treated the BLO (boys lunch out --not sure if the name still applies since i've been a part of it the past weeks) team to our favorite charlie's black angus with chili fries and clam chowder! full and satisfied, it was worth the stress brought on by work. wednesday, with the usual suspects (--lunch buddies) doing the ash wednesday thing and abstaining from real good food, i indulged with my favorite yellow cab hot wings!! since they've been out of wings for the past month and have been serving hot legs as replacement, which doesn't satisfy the craving as much, the timing was impeccable. thursday rolls on by and i treat my nss team, signaling team, and friends to shakey's for lunch. two monster deals and a tuna salad after, everybody's happy and content. real thankful for officemates who, over the years, are more friends than colleagues.
on friday, the day my birthday falls on, i made my first baked salmon for brunch! happy with how it turned out.. you know how it is, happy tummy = happy jacq. ^_^
as with tradition and tan's yearly sacrifice of his pride and man-card, he brought me flowers. too bad they ran out of tulips, but hey, i'm nowhere close to complaining. the roses were pretty. ^_^
after brunch, we headed to moa without definite plans yet as to what we'd be busying our selves with. the only plan was to ride the supposed largest ferris wheel (in the country?) and enjoy the view, but God, in His perfect timing and plan led us to the ice skating rink instead. my second time on ice and it felt wonderful!
after that, we watched the sun set. tan took pictures. then we had dinner at charlie's. perfect black angus! as sir rp branded it, "the boracay of all burgers"! i regret not being able to take a pic of tan's first bite. it was his first time, and after weeks of trying to convince him to have lunch or dinner there, this was the moment.. his expression was incredulous! haha, he never thought any burger would taste as good. it was priceless. :D
lastly, i want to thank dan for giving me a dozen roses,
signaling team for the running/biking shirt,
and ma'am connie for the kikay kit and lippies!
