Today is wifey’s birthday. She originally planned to celebrate her birthday two days in advance for an overnight stay in a Laguna private resort. It could have been a big celebration with about 20 persons attending - all our relatives from both sides. The plan was spoiled because wifey took a vacation in her favorite hotel, National Kidney and Transplant Institute, for four days a week before her day.
I dissuade her to push through with the planned celebration lest she’d suffer a relapse and take a vacation again to her favorite hotel. She was hesitant at first but finally assented. Good girl!
And, so the celebration has been divided into three phases. The first was a dinner at Gilligan’s in Trinoma last Saturday with her nephew - Noel, and niece-in-law - Iya, and grandniece, Lian. The second was today for a lunch at Super Bowl of China with my Mamang, my sister - Elvie, nephew - Ryan, and niece-in-law, Pie. The third would be with her sister-in-law and family, which is to be scheduled probably this weekend for a day trip to a Laguna resort.
Happy long birthday, my dear!

Last week, a bowling friend told me about the bowling shoes on sale at the Riverbanks Mall in Marikina City. The brand is Swatch with a regular price of P2,350 a pair. And, the discounts range from 10 to 50%. He’s buying one; and, I requested him to buy me a pair too (my 11-year old bowling shoes were already retiring). My friend and I have the same shoe sizes - 9″. I’m not particular with the design so he could choose any design. I’m particular with the price and asked him to get the one with 50% off.
Last Sunday, he called me up informing me that the pairs with 50% discounts have no 9″ sizes, except for the one with faded colors and with spots. There’s a nice pair but with 30% discount only. He described the color and design; and, I gave him my go signal.
At the tournament site last night, he gave my new pair of bowling shoes. I suspensely opened the box; and, lo and behold, I liked the shoes very much. I immediately donned and tried them. They perfectly fit my feet. I thanked my friend, reimbursed him, and treated him for some bottles of beer. Thank you, friend!
