Jon's Birthday Celeb - Our Lunch Date and the Dinner w/ Family

Monday, April 11, 2005, is Jon's 26th birthday...

I woke him up with a tender kiss and greeted him for the nth time. We went down for breakfast which consisted of sinangag, bacon and eggs. In the middle of the meal, Jeff (who's abroad) called up not knowing that it's the twins' bday. Jon talked to him for a few minutes before passing the phone to Alex. We finished our meal then hurried off to the different chores waiting for us.

We were thinking of going to Tagaytay that day (to a spa or a good resto) but after giving it some thought, decided against it coz we had to be in Makati in time for the planned dinner at around 5 in the afternoon; and our time was already limited (I still had to wash our wet clothes from the party)... So we just opted for lunch at a hotel. We were choosing between Shang Makati or Westin but the latter won due to its proximity because by the time we set off, we were both starving already (it was almost 1pm when we got to the hotel).

The three-in-one lunch buffet at the Westin Philippine Plaza did not disappoint our rumbling tummies. We tremendously enjoyed the different cuisines that were laid before us. It was really a great feast!!!

After our stomachs couldn't take any more food, we went to the poolside of the hotel which overlooked the Manila Bay, and we had some shots taken. The cool breeze, great surroundings, and awesome view made me want to stay longer. I could just imagine the breathtaking view the place could offer during sunset. But, i have to wait some other time for it... =)

We hurriedly drove to Glorietta and catched the advanced screening of Guess Who? which stars Bernie Mac and Ashton Kutcher. I highly recommend this one. Hilarious movie!!!

After watching, we met up with the whole family for dinner at Tony Roma's.

Before we had dinner though, I discreetly talked to one of the waitresses and arranged for them to sing for the twins. I specifically told her to wait til we were almost done eating...

In the middle of dinner though, we heard the waiters/waitresses sing the HB song a few tables away from us. Since I was not able to inform the others that i already asked them to that also, my MIL asked one of them if they could sing for the twins too. I tried to catch her attention to tell her I already did that but it was too late. That ruinned the surprise... Oh well... =)

Anyway, i thought they wouldn't sing for them na, coz the twins told the waitress not to anymore... but after a few minutes, I saw them approaching with two ice cream cakes in hand, and they all sung, "Happy Birthday!" They also gave the twins one doggie balloon each. Cute!

"Happy Birthday two u..."

"doggie-style" =D

The rest of the meal was uneventful. And so, we all headed home after. On the way, Jon received a call from my mom, sis, and bro greeting him and telling him to get his gift (another cake!) the following morning na lang (they dropped by our home but no one was there)...
