Happy Birthday, Mom and Dad!
Yep, you read that right. Yesterday we celebrated the tandem birthday of my parents. Don't ask me how that happened that both of them were born on August 10. Really odd and wonderful. Heh.
Anyway, we had dinner at home with our visiting relatives from the US, dining with pasta with meat sauce, shrimp, crab, fried rice, tasty adobo chicken and soft drinks to wash it down. For dessert, there was fruit salad and cheesecake from Red Ribbon (we just served one of four cakes given to my mom and dad for their day).
Me, my sister and brother all chipped in to get our parents their gift; a Foot Spa which gives nice, soothing foot massages with vibration, warm hear and bubbles. After the visitors left, we plugged it in and had mom and dad test it out. Really nice. I recommend this as a nice gift for parents everywhere.
It's times like this that really make me realize how lucky I am to have as perfect a family as I could ever have had. Loving parents who were and are always there who never smothered or spoiled me, siblings whom I can talk to as equals and always have fun with whenever we are together, and an often unspoken but always obvious closeness between all of us. Given the fact that my siblings and their families are leaving for overseas life in the near future, I guess I have to cherish these moments as much as I can before they vanish altogether. Kinda sad, but what can you do? We can all just be thankful we had these moments in the first place.
Anyway, Happy birthday Mom and Dad. They'll probably never read this, but what the hey. Kiss, kiss.
