bday

Someone asked me last Sunday..what was the best gift you got for your bday? Without thinking I said having my friends come to my parties(yes it's plural) was the best.. and of course always having my family here by my side... I turned 30 this year and I had three parties already and we still plan to get it going until the end of my birth month hehehe..

Party #1: I Kicked off the weekend before my birthday with a party at Rage(my favorite place to dance).. We had Jaysson, Zair, Chelle, Layka(sp? chelle's friend), Jason, Allen, Irwin(allen's friend), Sarah, Abbey(sarah's friend), Apple, Bingle(Apple's bf) and a few of Sarah's friends join us in dancing the night away.. thanks guys I had a blast dancing my feet off and watching people dance *wink wink*.. and thank you Jason for not being too drunk and kissing everyone again hahaha... opppsss... Allen thank you for the very special appearance, I didn't know you were a good dancer.. we should go out more and practice those dancing shoes.. bwahhaha... Zair stop being so magnetic, she got too many guys milling around her ALL the time bwahhaa.. too bad she doesn't care bwahahha.. she just wants to dance too hehehe.. thanks guys I love going out with you.... I took the day off for my birthday... I wanted to get away from everyone and everything.. I wanted to just spend the day at the beach, by myself.. when suddenly the perfect 80 degree beach weather started to become 65 exactly on my bday.. yeah it never was sunny on my bday.. there is either rain or clouds, yes we used to toss a chicken's egg outside just to make sure what the weather would be like before we set up stuff outside(a whole yolk meant sun, a broken one meant rain), and there would be usually rain whatever the outcome is hahaha.. anyway so there I was shivering to death in bed, waiting for the sun to come out... when jun said we were going to have bfast with his dad, gilbert, matthew, jonathan and my goddaughter eliza mae.. and then they all decided to come with us to the beach.. yay!!!! I know I decided being alone on a freakishly cold, dreary morning on a beach alone was not a good idea.. if there was sun that was another story.... anyway so there we had bfast at micky D's and off to the beach we went.. we met up with my brother John Ray on the way there and he had fun with the kids too as much as I did... after that I decided to grab my stuff and go to the gym but fatigue got the better of me and I succumbed to the calling of the mattress hahaha.. I slept until it was time to have dinner... which I wanted not to do anymore coz I was so tired running after and carrying Jonathan hahhaa.. I love that kid...   

(Suprise!) Party #2: A few of my friends surprised me on my exact bday..yay! Yeah mads, asking me where I was going for the night didn't work as a ruse to keep me off track =P mwehehe... anyway Tins, Mads, Paul - thanks for the strawberry pie(yummy), wish you could have shared it with us...and Apple and Bingle - thanks for the Sansrival(drool drool drool) joined us for a dinner with the family at Buca de Beppo... I always wanted to go there and yay I got to do it on my birthday.. finally! and it was good.. we ordered chicken alfredo pasta with red bell pepper and broccolli(sp?), spaghetti with meat sauce, and a big mushroom pizza with spicy sausage.. yummmyy.. i ate too much, more that I should have but it's my bday and I was going to the gym the next day hehehe so there you go yay!!!! thank you guys for coming!!!

Party #3: We went camping yay!!! I love being outdoors.. yeah even in freakishly 65 degree weather with high freaking winds that sounded like a storm outside our tent bwahhaa... We went biking in santa barbara with Jun, Mads, her mom, Zair(yes we are adopting the Cuala sisters all 3 of them that are in L.A. bwahhaa), My parents, my brothers John and Ralph and my lola which if you add us all together would be 9.. That was the maximum amount of people one crazy bike could take bwahhaa... Pedalling to make it move was always a challenge when we had to stop.. I could just imagine how jun maneuvers it around with all 9 of us heavy piggies riding on it bwahhaa... after that we went back to the camp ground to cook more food and eat, which by that time Jaysson, Chelle and Sarah was able to join us.. omg it was the most fun I had with people doing a photoshoot..we jumped, ran, lay down, posed, smiled and laughed until our sides hurt... that was the best exercise every bwahhaa... thanks guys...and thanks to my mom for taking all the pictures.. without you there would be no photo shoot bwahhaa... Apple and Bingle joined us that night but it was too cold to stay out and make a bonfire.. yes we crouched into the tent at 9 I think to grab as much sleep as we can, coz we were so tired of the photo shoot and the biking combined hahaha.. the next day was brighter, more sunny and less windy.. which was good for more photo shoot yay.. hahaha.. then we went to Ostrich Land( they don't sever ostrich burgers anymore and fried ostrich eggs) and Solvang(for some DAN-ISH {according to my dad} stuff hehehe..).. We ate the the Little Mermaid restaurant and everything was good..yummy.. A few of us had the combination danish sausage and meatballs with Mashed Potatoes and gravy and the others had the Danish steak which was soft, tender and very yummy.... from there we went to the bakery and bought some goodies.. I hope the day would never end hehehe... anyway so there it is my bday in a nutshell... for now hehehe...
