Another year older

wheee... hello everyone... i turned a year older "again" :( heheh... wish i could stop it but i can't :D
nway... as the saying goes... the secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age... heheh... i don't need to lie about my age... just don't ask me please :P
well... this post is dedicated to all the wonderful people who remembered and sent me greetings and wishes.
i don't have any plan to celebrate my birthday this year because i am loaded of works and activities lately... but i was grateful to my daughter Sachan and my hubs for giving me an advance surprise birthday dinner in Vietnam Restaurant in Niigata City. that's a memorable family gathering for me.
then on my very special day... hmmm i was not actually in my birthday mode. i was spinning like a wheel that time... soooo busy with the UTAWIT Shizuoka event preparation... and everything. kakalokah :D
but it was amazing... my cellphone was too busy with SMS and emails messages and phone calls from friends and relatives... including my land line phone... oh to my sis Malu... i know u phoned... sorry i missed it. believe it or not... i am still answering some of my txt now... finally i got time to do it, heheh... sorry... sorry talaga... better late than never di ba? ;P
i am also thankful to some friends who visited at home for their personal greetings and handed in their gifts like to my dear lilibeth, sarah and yuta. we'll actually meet the next day but they insisted to visit me on the very day of my bday coz they said they want to greet me on time... ohhh ladies... that's very heartwarming... hugsss to all of you.
well to liza... "i know u were bc with your work that day... u just sent your gift ... and u were so silent there not to greet me personally even by txt or phone or net ... but i understand... yes... i do understand... heheheh^^ ... but i am very grateful to you for the support you gave me on our Sunday event... you were there for me from the start up to the last hours... i might seldom say this but thanks a lot for being one of my great buddies". cge na... that include tita amie, uncle jo, dang, sarah, precy... hmmm... too many to mention... marami lang ang magtatampo if i forgot some names... hahhah.

i was also touched to see a lot of greetings from everyone in my different accounts in net like in Yahoo, FB, Friendster and Tagged... wooow... the power of internet is amazing... they remind everyone that it's your birthday... no wonder many are forced to greet... hahahah^^

Bonding with Sachan in Niigata City

I'm back home from my 5 days visit to my dear daughter Sachan in Niigata City.
It has been a year since i last visited her place and more than 2 years since i last stayed in her place. Ohhh i missed the place... but i missed my Sachan the most :P
Sachan picked me up last Wednesday afternoon at the station... then we dated in Bandai City... why so soon i thought... oh well, she's busy with her schooling and have no time to date me ... and she had the chance that afternoon :)
As a tradition... don't have any omiage for her except my omiage from Australia...:P
The following day... as what she said... she's busy at school... so i made it a chance to clean her room. Wooow... i believed she's really busy... i can see it in her room...hahahh :D So i did the cleaning for 2 consecutive days.
This time visit was a good chance to meet her boyfriend too... was cool meeting... he drove us to ishi yaki or sizzling ramen restaurant. was good... as well as the guy is nice and funny... no problem da yoooo... heheheh! :D was wondering what the other strict tita's will say? hmmm...
Saturday morning, papa arrived from Shizuoka City to attend the conference at Sachan's university... we had lunch together at the nearby chinese restaurant. We like that restaurant coz foods are strong in flavour and we love their homemade taste... but actually... we are quite disappointed this time... coz it's too oily :( heheh.
after lunch we visited Sachan's campus... then Sachan and I went to stayed with papa to Hotel Okura... same hotel... same room as usual... heheh. Everytime we stay there, they have been giving us same room and that's for 4 consecutive years... so we called that room... our room already... and that's hotel... our home:P heheh...

Saturday night... Sachan reserved our dinner at Vietnam Restaurant. I thought it's our dinner for hubs Father's day... but ohhh i was the one surprised... i was enjoying watching the FIFA World Cup thru my cellphone... was Netherlands vs Japan match game... when suddenly the restaurant lights turned off... and a birthday background music played while a pretty staff brought a cake with sparkling lite candles to our table... and i was wondering... was it's my birthday? hahahah... coz my bday is still 6 days ahead... oh well... everyone was saying "omedetou"... so i finally realize yeah... it's a surprise birthday celebration... hahahha... hehehh...was touching, was overwhelming... lol... but anyway... thanks to sachan and papa for the wonderful treat... was a wonderful memory to me.
Sad to say that after we ate the cake, Japan didn't make it ... was 1-0. they had chances but did not score. nway, still glad coz samurai blue did a good job again :) imagine... only 1-0... how's that :D

oh well... Sunday... after our last family date in Kameda... agaaain... hehhe... well, we have visited the different spot in the city so we decided to have a window shopping only... and as i said... after that... papa and i went back home to Shizuoka City together.

Oh i'm missing Sachan again... gonna see her on summer... and this August... we'll visit Philippines. Yeah!!!
