My Birthday 2008

Today's my birthday. Well now that it's past midnight, it is the day after. But being that my birthday is a month celebration, it's quite all right to continue on.

I was a tad bummed because only two of my online friends wished me well today. I guess I'm just being too sensitive about it, but birthday threads get started all the time and well, I didn't get one. Oh well. And only 18 people can come to my birthday party on Saturday. Oh well with that too. It really doesn't help that it's that time of the month, which btw, could be a whole other blog!

Rather than dwell on that.. Let me stop complaining about who didn't remember and go on to who did!!

Thank you for the lovely birthday text messages from my cousin Ahna & Auntie Liza from the Philippines, my sweet students Karissa, Sabrina, Nikki, Alejah, Abi & Jojo, my brother Gene, my mom's bf Ken, my SDAFF friend Antho, my daddy, my CSUSM friend Maria, my big sorority sis Rozanna, my former students Jazmin & Myka, my choir buddy Dann & his wife Melba from New Jersey, old school friends Michelle C. & Bobbie Jean, my wedding coordinator turned great friend/Mare Joan'l, my homegirl colleague/great friend Sally, my sis' BFFs Jackielyn & Melissa, my mahal's BFF Tony & his wife, my mare Elsa and my KAMP friend Trish.

Thank you to all the IMs from my college friend/kumare Roanne, my former students Mae, Jamie Mae who's also my twin (Happy Birthday 21er!) & Karissa, my local celebrity friend Lee Ann and my darling baby sis Luvern.

Thank you to all the EMs from my childhood friend Myra, my AU advisor Danica, SDNW, and my co-scholar/AU classmate Tiffany.

Thank you to all my Friendster, Facebook, & MySpace comments from Genevieve, Millie, Joey V., Buddy, Bobbie Jean (on text, Face & MySp.. such a dang sweetheart!), sweet students Alyssa S., Projekt NewSpeak, former students Marivell, Divine, old school friend Venice, my lil twin AnAn, my wedding month twin Heather P., and my SDAFF Enoch.

Thank you to voice mails from my sweet & only living Lola, my friend/kumare Michele H., my high school Bff Sherrylynn and my childhood Bff Grace.

I spent the day with my mommy, my little sister and my bambinos shopping @ the Las Americas Outlets in San Ysidro. Of course, I spent the most of my time shopping for my babes. I didn't see anything for me, but that won't stop me from shopping later.. hehe. Anyway, we had great steak sandwiches for lunch and surf city squeeze smoothies.

We later drove home to meet the rest of the fam bam so we can drive up north and eat dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory. Mahal's parents also joined us. I ordered the Chicken Parmigiana and mixed Nakia's mizithra with it.. yummy! We finished dinner off with some spumoni and a chocolate mousse cake for me to blow as they sang to me.

I took a lot of photos so I'll definitely post later. After taking pictures and loading up the kiddos, our Land Rover decided it wouldn't start. It cranked but it didn't start. It's a good thing the rest of the fam didn't leave so we loaded up the kids in my dad's van and headed home while my brother Gene and Mahal waited for AAA.

They get home and guess what, the LR started.. omg.

I ended my birthday evening with finale of Bachelorette. And I look forward to my birthday party on Saturday. Hope to see you there!
