So how did I spend my 28th birthday?

Simple.

I was in Pampanga as you all know during my special day. Jon came to pick us up after a week of staying there as I was sick. We just treated my family to lunch, a sumptuous one at that, at Fortune Chinese Resto. My family loves this resto as their Hot Prawn Salad is to die for. We have tried the same viand from other restos but nothing compares to Fortune’s. Super yummy!

Right after lunch, we headed home and bid my family goodbye. They have been pampering me and my daughter for a week and I guess they needed a break bwahahahaha. Seriously, we enjoyed our mini vacation there and if plans push through I might even give birth in Pampanga under my cousin’s care. No final decisions made yet though. I still need to weigh the pros and cons.

Once we got home, I am so relieved to find out that all painting jobs and the little renovations we are having are done. Hay salamat. Everything can be back to normal now. You see, we had Sophia’s room painted same as with the guest room we are now transforming into a playroom as the playroom downstairs I had painted too because I will turn it into a nursery. I know know, too early right? But since the painter was already here, we might as well make the most out of it. Jon had one wall of our room painted too into a dark red color. It’s nice. Will post a photo of it soon.

To those of you who were asking, I didn’t receive any gift on my birthday. Not one gift. This was what the HK trip was for. Nandun sa HK ang gift ko LOL. With my OB not approving of my travel plans, I had to cancel as you all know so no gift YET for me as even the Highlands Membership, even if fully paid already, I still have to get my hands on the membership card. Processing is one month! Although that very night I came home, upon seeing how ready Sophia’s room is, I called Mickey’s Place in Shang and arranged for a delivery of the Sleeping Beauty Furniture Set I posted a few posts back. To complete the room, I also ordered a 32 inch LCD TV for Sophia’s room. All stuff will be delivered Tuesday as Monday is a holiday. I can’t wait! I’m one happy birthday celebrant after all.

Now that my tummy is showing, being on my 14th week, I now plan to shop for maternity clothes. There are really not a lot of choices out there in the malls from where I am from so I’m hitting the internet (online shopping baby!) for my maternity clothing needs. Being able to wear fashionable maternity clothes is one thing that excites me with this pregnancy. I hope my paypal account won’t back down on me though. LOL.

Our wedding anniversary is a month away and I am thinking of something special to get my husband. He’s not into men’s jewelry so that is a no-no. I wonder if he would appreciate a designer label messenger bag though. I saw really nice messenger bags at the Gucci site the other night. Or to be safe, maybe a wallet is a better idea. What do you think?
