Papa E's birthday was on April 19th, but we celebrated his day with our friends earlier on the 15th.It was a change of plans at the eleventh hour from going to a trout farm where we could catch our own fish & bbq them on site and have a picnic - to having it at home instead.
We blame the weather for that, it has been cold and wet for most of the month. It was completely different from the Aprils that we've had for the last few years.
Up to the last minute we were hoping that the weather would improve so when we had to change the plan everything was rushed. We were just glad that everyone could still make it and that it all came together in the end.
Poj was excited for the party coz it means he'll get to play with his friends Cayden & Kian. =)
Here is Poj guarding the fruits, pineapple & cheese, and crisps & dips.
Syempre may pansit dahil birthday at chicken/pork adobo.
Papa E also experimented with his fried chicken which he brine overnight, steamed for twenty minutes before frying and was served with his special sauce.
Lumpiang togue and chicken macaroni salad.
We served the same food for dinner, we just added grilled seabass at steamed siomai (na nakalimutan nang kuhaan ng pics).
And if you're asking kung bakit walang pics ang mga friends namin at pagkain lang ito ay dahil sa nadelete lahat ng pics na kinuha ko with my cam - I swear I transferred them pero wala talaga. This has not happened to me before, kaya you can imagine how very annoyed I was with myself =(
The only pics I've got left are the pre-party pics from my good 'ol iPhone.
Buti na lang may napadala yung isang friend naming si Cheche ng mga kuha nya from her cam =)
Kuya Cayden, Poj and Kian with the birthday boy!
Thanks to Che we at least have pics nung nagblow sya ng candles. Yun nga lang walang pics with our friends coz I took those. Hayz, nevermind.
Thanks again everyone for coming to make it a great birthday for Papa E and for all your fab gifts too. xoxo
it happened to me before, nadelete ko photos sa camera. naiyak talaga ko sa inis. bday naman yun ni hubby as in ni isa wala kami souvenir. parang si poj may bday at siya nakaupo. hehe! belated happy birthday papa E.
ReplyDeleteParang ganun yung feeling ko kagabi when I found out. Dapat kagabi ko pa ipopost ito pero sa inis ko pinatay ko na lang ang computer.

ReplyDeletethanks hun! I know, super sayang. I know we see each other on a regular basis pero syempre iba pa rin yung sa mismong araw. Buti na nga lang merong nakapagbigay ng blowing of the candles pic. Hay, simula kasi ng nagkaanak mga kids na lang ang kasama ng celebrants sa blowing of candles kaya parang kiddie party tuloy, hehehe =)
ReplyDeleteAyun, nag birthday din si papa e. Naka-ilang greet na yata ako kanya dito. hehe.. Awww, I'm sure muntik ka na nervous breakdown nung nawala ang pics. Pero ok lang kahot papaano may natira. I love PapaE's handa sis, pnoy na pinoy pa din and I bet yung chicken masarap. Actually, mukang lahat masarap. Happy Birthday Papa E! :)
ReplyDeletenakaksama talaga ng loob kapag nadelete ang mga pics but then may natira naman kaya ok lang yan basta naging masaya kayo. =D
ReplyDeleteI try not to think about it too much now... I'll just make sure it doesn't happen again =)
ReplyDeleteSensya na sis, parang feel ko nga super dami ng beses kong napost yung tungkol sa bday nya dahil sa 365 ko! But thanks pa rin sis. He appreciates it, alam mo namang laging nagbabasa yun ng mga blogs natin =)
ReplyDeleteOo, laging pinoy maghanda yun. They would be more if we had more time pero it was ok in the end.
Thanks Karla =)
ReplyDeleteIt was sotanhon. Ibang brand nabili nya this time & napansin din namin na iba yung itsura nya. It still tasted good, though. Thanks Dianne
ReplyDeleteThank you =)
ReplyDeleteThanks and you're welcome. Kami din super miss na namin ang Pinas =)
ReplyDeletehappy birthday papa E. heheh. i super love the cake!! :)
ReplyDeleteAwww! ganda ng cake :) gawa mo yan sis? ang sasarap din ng mga pagkain. Grabe, miss ko na nag pansit. Tagal ko na hindi nakakagawa nyan kasi matrabaho din saka hindi lagi kumpleto ang ingredients ko. Pero kailangan makagawa ulit ako nang humaba ang buhay hahaha.. at this rate with all the work and stress... baka umiksi na ang buhay ko eh hehe joke!
ReplyDeleteHappy Bitthday, Papa E!
Spanish Pinay
Thanks Marsy =)
ReplyDeleteNo, my colleague made the cake for me. I'm not sure I'm that creative (though I plan to try it one day).
ReplyDeleteNaku, kami naman dito laging nakapansit! Sa stock namin laging may iba't ibang pansit si Papa E. Adik lang!
Thanks sis =)
Aww pareho ng birthday si Papa E and my niece. I thought the cake was heart shaped kitchen counter pala. The creator is very creative. Imagine the rigorous details of the pieces that were put to it.
ReplyDeletePoj was really on guard. Hehehe. Sayang nga lang nadelete yung mga pictures mo sis. I was hoping that you didn't do anything with the SD card yet because there's a way to recover them. I'll ask our hard disk doctors here on the best thing to do. Kasi nagde-data recovery sila, baka may pwedeng gawin sa card mo.
Kung merong malapit na data recovery center jan sa inyo, you can drop by and let them handle it. Buti na lang merong pictures from your friend, she saved the day.
Anyhow, Belated Happy Birthday kay Papa E.
grabe bakit naman ngayon ko lang to nakita, sorry sis, nagpapaka-busy kasi ako dito hahaha... in fairness halatang love na love mo ang husband mo, ang cute kaya nung cake! at tsaka yung food, especially the chicken! ano ba nagutom ako bigla!
ReplyDeleteNo worries sis. I know you got too many things going on at the mo.
ReplyDeleteHaha, ganun ba? Glad you like the cake. =)
It was a special birthday kaya nga ba't after the party eh nagpunta naman kami ng Disneyland Paris - to celebrate the child in him =)
