No matter how many times I have traveled back and forth to Manila, excitement never fails to occupy me. Moreso, it will be my first time to welcome my birthday on board the plane. And what makes this vacation more exciting is my upcoming HK-Macau vacation with my parents.
Anyhoo, I'll make another blog entry regarding that trip. In this post I just want to share how I celebrated my 32nd year with family and friends back home.
April 20, Friday.
After an eye check-up at Healthway Medical, we had a sumptuous dinner at Dad's International Buffet Restaurant in West Avenue.

Out of the 12 friends I invited, only 4 took time and put so much effort to join me on this post-bday treat. Tabel, Nikki, Don and Bryce... thanks so much for traveling all the way from South of the Metro, didn't mind of the EDSA traffic amidst the super humid weather. Love yah, guys!

The last time I celebrated my birthday with my cousins around was in 1998, we were all school-ers then :) And now, 14 years after, I am grateful and thankful for this "little reunion" of the Gutierrezes.
