April 25 - we arrived in Batangas around 8:00pm and what do you expect? Lola shouting: "oh kumain na! kumain na! Mariz kain na! Mikha kain na!" over and over and over again. and my mama too : "Mariz ano ba kain na!!!!!" See, like mother like daughter. lol so we ate dinner and after that.. Me, Mikha and Mutya (cousin) were tasked for the buko pandan. We cut the HUGE gelatin into little cubes and mix with buko, cream, evaporated milk, blah blah. then then after that, SLEEP!
April 26 - big day! woke up 7.30am breakfast, shower, and get dressed. All of the family members are wearing red shirt. by 8:30 Me and my cousin went to the church arrived home by 9:30. We're so busy especially my mom who's lagi namang busy. haha So so the program started with a little prayer by Boss (tito) and blessing of foods. Since Mayor was there too we gotta start the lunch right away cause she has lots of commitments too.
So so moving on.. we had troubles pa with the audio cos Mikha's minus one wont play. so we need to bring the television down to the venue to be able to play it. My mom and her siblings gave their individual messages for Lola and of course, my mom cried. haha she's really so sentimental. then after that my niece, Mikha performed "Love Moves In Mysterious Ways" for Lola. After her song, its time for the grandchildren to shout out their messages!! haha before that this emcee announced that we prepared something for Lola. Sooo embarrassing. Cos we haven't prepared anything. Now i have to like on the spot thing.. i said (over the microphone) "Lola, so sobrang pinaghandaan namin talaga to. mga two months namin pnractice ng patago.. sana magustuhan mo.." then we just sang one lame happy birthday song. LOL so after that the individual message for Lola.. We just said the same thing.. "Good health, long life, happiness.." but i tell you.. Mine was different! haha! told my lola "Lola, nasabi na naman nila lahat ng gusto ko rin sabihin.. since single ka na naman ngayon.. bigyan na lang kita ng textmate ah. love you lola. happy birthday" then everybody laughed. LOL what a mess. but over all, it was a happy big event for the whole family. sayang lang cos my sisters are abroad, Ninang and Ingrid (cousin) are in Australia and of course, Lolo up there sa heaven. I got teary eyed when Lola mentioned that she hopes Lolo was there with us. Cos my Lolo would be so happy to see that everyone (family, classmates, friends) that they love is in that day.. Im sure, Lolo was there. I know he's there celebrating with us. and Im sure he's happy. having this awesome family that he can be proud of. (see now im about to cry. haha) anywho, i know we're super cool LOL Happy Birthday again to my Lola. LOVE HER SOOO MUCH!
