Thirty-freaking-one baybee!!! My hana's gift was hidden under our comforter. It was in this pretty blue and green (my favorite color combination coz it's both out favorite colors combined) box with a string of small beads on the cover and a blue ribbon wrapped around it. Holding it in my hand, "hmmm...it's quite heavy", i thought. It must be the iPOD! So I took out the ribbon slowly, pretending I didn't have the slightest idea what it was. iPOD! iPOD! IPOD! Wuhoooo! Then I opened it and got the shock of my life. It wasn't an iPOD but something a whole lot better. It was a leather bound NLT version of the Holy Bible. I've been nagging my hana to get me one for months already and I thought that he had forgotten already. I was in tears! It was the most beautiful gift, EVER! Far better than than an iPOD (ok, the iPOD comes second, pink alogator pumps third). It was truly something that i "needed". The next day, Aug 28, on my real birthday, I woke up and found a beautiful basket decorated with ribbons and a butterfly. A personalized card from my daughter was sitting on it. She said she decorated this basket for me and that I can put all the magazines that I had written for in this basket. Aaaaaaaw! I love my 2 mikes! Instead of going to some fancy restaurant on my birthday, I opted to dine with some friends and family at JT's (Joel Torre) Manukan. My taste buds were craving for it and they really have the best chicken inasal in Manila that's sooooo to die for! Plus it's super cheap too. First timers, Tracy, Joel, Reema, Nino, Maite, and Gigi say....YEAH!!!
