Lizeth’s Birthday Blow-out

Sunday, March 30 was Lizeth’s birthday.  She’s the daughter of Elvie, my younger sis-in-law.  She decided to celebrate her birthday with us in Tagaytay since Mamang, her aussie granny (nah!) has been waiting to be toured around town.

We woke up as early as 4:00am as we had a betting game with Elvie that whoever would be late on our appointed time of 6:00am will pay for the group’s breakfast. And guess who came late?  Well… we stopped by the Mcdo at Petron Slex and had our breakfast. I had to pay coz we were late by six minutes. Ouch!

 We reached Tagaytay Picnic Grove at around 8:00am.  Strolled, browsed the souvenir shops and trekked the 500 meter pathway which led us to cross a hanging bridge somewhere.  It was a nice exercise under a warm early morning sun. Our lunch was in a restaurant inside the picnic grove.  We ordered bulalo, sugpo, crispy tawilis and pancit. We rested for a while then climbed up to the Peoples Park.  The sceneries from atop was breath taking. However, the place itself is disgusting.  It is not maintained well and it  stinks.  We just tried to ignore the surroundings and concentrated on the magnificent  sceneries beyond together with the  cool breeze that’s hardly felt in Metro Manila. We left Peoples Park at around 4:00pm and Lizeth proclaimed an extention of her birthday blowout. Yey!  We reached Manila just in time for dinner so we proceeded to our favorite eating place in Roxas Boulevard that is Emerald. This time, it was really, really a sumptuous dinner.  It was the longest birthday blow-out I had so far this year.  It was indeed a wonderful day of celebrating Lizeth’s 20^th year on earth and praying for at least 80 more years to come to her.  Thanks, Lizeth!  Everyone enjoyed your birthday.
