Another birthday... Another year older! Well, its better than the alternative! :)

Thanks to everyone who remembered my birthday and sent emails, text messages and e-cards. Special thanks to Patrick, Sandra (love the Hk stuff and book you sent) , Raquel(finally got to open the gifts you sent early this year for my bday) , Benz (will certainly enjoy shopping with the GC) and Pebbles (love the Precious Moments Christmas Village building you sent!). :0)


I spent my birthday at home in my pajamas all day. I caught the flu Monday night after the extreme change in weather earlier so I was just achy and miserable Monday night and I knew that by Tuesday, my actual birthday (Aug 21st), I will still be feeling unwell. We canceled our dinner reservations since it wont be a good dining experience for me anyway, given the fact that I was sick. I didn't even feel like getting up to change and get dressed so going to a fancy restaurant was the last thing on my mind. Anyway, I settled for a cup of chicken noodle soup and some crackers. Then we had cake the next day (the 22nd) when I was feeling a bit better. Patrick had the cake made with a princess standing beside a green frog. He said he is the froggie who is a prince in disguise. :0) The cake was cute and yummy too. Nothing fancy but the cake is so moist and the filling is my favorite (vanilla cheesecake filling).

Thanks again to everyone who remembered my birthday and sent their greetings!
