I go NUTS whenever my birthday’s just around the corner. You see, when all your life bumabagyo on your birthday, you’d be so blessed to even be able to go out. To go out safe is one thing and well, to get to spend the day with your loved ones and receive presents even is a little too grand. That’s just what happened last Friday. I was not only able to brave the rain but my friends did so too! :)

my birthday cuppycake from the big bosses

My birthday Friday started with some gifts from our friends from DKNY, Bobbi Brown, Estee Lauder, and Good Skin Labs (watch out for their gifts for you too):

all of them (lippie included) smell SO GOOD

After a sweet power nap and one last event for the day, I had dinner at Pepper Lunch GB5 with my loves. Checkout my gorgeous beef pepper rice with cheese and egg:

One of the best surprises of my birthday — remember my former boss M who gave me the Zara purse (if you’re a long time reader, you would probably remember that rocky purse)? He met us up real quick in GB5 to give me one of my fave chocolates.

A trip to GB5 is never complete without a pit stop at Chili’s for frozen strawberry margaritas. Agree?

While waiting for the other usual suspects, we played with the MASSIVE bag given to us by Celeteque. Reviewsss to follow!

Naturally and because they love me, they never let the night pass without the classic birthday song from the staff. Instead of being embarrassed like most patrons, I was a little too giddy. I’d die if someone took a video. LOL

them who showed me love — (teacher) Tara, Shen, Sophie, and Brigitte

They egged me to open my gifts but I said no — baka maiyak ako. LOL Good thing I didn’t cause if I did and took a whiff off these, I would’ve burst into tears. They smell SO GOOD and funny, my friends read my mind. Marks & Spencer is still up my list when it comes to English hand cremes and body washes. They hit it twice even with their scent of choice. *bravo*

thanks S and B <333

My birthday may be over but I’m still accepting gifts super giddy and hung over with glee. :) Because I had a superawesometastic weekend, I want to share some of the blessings I’ve received. I’ll have a birthday contest announcement the next coupl’a days so stay tuned and hey — keep your makeup tools and toys handy! :)

Hope you’re all enjoying your (I’m off to work in a bit) long weekend!
