HAPPY, CRAZY, AMAZING WEEKEND

My weekend started early with a drinking session to last Thu to welcome back a govster from travel.  It was the usual crowd, and the party was as noisy as it can get though the brown out after midnight was a bummer (it lasted till morning, too!). It was the birthday of another barkada as well, so after the "cake" blowing, we (actually, the boys) tried to finish all the beer…
Friday at work breezed by, thankfully, because I had about 3hrs sleep and I just had images of pillows and blanket the whole day. The trick or treat energized me, I mean the kids were just all adorable. My inaanak has really grown tall. I made a mental note of that to make sure I give the right gift this Christmas ;)

Friday night was kind of harried. I went out to get some stuff for my nephew’s birthday, and well, guess who also got a "gift"? :p


Then I went to Absinth around 10ish to meet some friends, and well, by the time the night ended, I was right outside Embassy, feet weary and eyes hurt from all the smoke, but still one happy camper :) The highlight of the night was the green fairy and uhm, the dancing! I miss dancing :)

If not for my 8AM class, I would not have left before the clock struck 4AM. Haha! I made it at quarter before 9, a little dramatic entrance, and my head pounding. Good thing we ended an hour early because nothing was sinking in really.

Then it was off to the mall for the 1st part of my nephew’s birthday celeb.

We bought candies, even the scary ones :)

We had lunch at Pizza Company. The Tequila chicken pizza was yum!

This monstrous dessert did not taste as interesting as it looked, but it wasn’t that bad.

The staff sang happy birthday to my nephew, and gave him a pink cake with a pink candle (it was free! so I only have good words to say about them :))… It was hilarious, all the pinkness, but my nephew didn’t mind a bit. In fact, he finished the cake within 10mins ;)

So he posed with a contented smile. One of the best feelings in the world is knowing that you have made a child happy.

After lunch I brought my nephew upstairs to play some games. Again, that smile. That smile just melts my heart :)

Then i saw this man, who’s probably going to be a kid at heart forever. Rock on! :)

After my nephew had ridden all the rides, we headed back home and hang out in the clubhouse a bit. My other nephews and niece were already there waiting for us. They were all so excited to be reunited, after months of not seeing each other.

The chubby baby is my eldest sister’s youngest. He came up running to us, greeting his younger cousin. "AJ, I missed you!!", he shouted. Then the birthday boy shouted back "Chin-chin, I miss you!"… Funny thing is, birthday boy’s name is not AJ, and my chinito nephew’s name is not Chin-chin, either. But no matter how many times we’ve corrected the two, they always call each other by those names (AJ is a girl cousin, and Chin-chin is the nickname of an older cousin). Hilarious, I tell you. Haha.

Here’s my customary self-portrait. Hahaha. 6 hours of sleep during the last 48hours = dark circles under my eyes. But sleep seems so petty when you’re having fun, and  when you’re making other people happy, specially your loved ones.

Then we went back to the unit to play with clay, burst the balloons, eat more pizza, mess around.

We did our little birthday boy happy pose.

Then we sang happy birthday, had our cake and ate it, too! :)

This is definitely one of my best weekends in a long time. I got to spend time with my family, and made my little nephew, Luigi, very happy on his birthday.
That, plus somewhere in between, I discovered something wonderful, too. It was kinda scary amazing, but I didn’t mind it at all ;)
