Pre-birthday night out, catching up over kimchied beef ramen and mais con hielo at Goto, Love It!

Let everyone wear glasses on your birthday if it makes you feel better. Kidding, we were just playing spot the difference.

The next day…

It was the hubby who actually organized this little shindig (at Pamulinawen) with family and close friends. I was surprised to see a lox pandesal station complete with cream cheese and capers, besides (Joan’s) grilled steaks, seafood soup and birthday noodles. The Syrian baklava straight from Dubai, given by Alain, is to die for. Alain and Marianne also brought  a carrot cake. (Thanks, guys!) Guess what else Reny gave me on my birthday?

[Milan Mode lipstick, NC3 Studio Fix powder plus foundation, Gleam and Gorgeous Gold eye colors]

The big reveal. He paid for my MAC cosmetics. My age? Old enough to be playing with paint brushes instead of knives and needles. *wink*

Happy weekend, everyone!
