sunday feast

I just remembered right now that I haven't seen the pictures during RJ's 10th birthday celebration. To those who doesn't know, my son turned 10 last June 22. We decided to not eat out during his birthday since it was on a school day. I surprised him with his "favorites", pasta carbonara and mango float, for his birthday dinner.

We had a simple get-together party, with the whole family, the next sunday after his birthday. Me and my sister were the assigned cook for the party. My sister is the chef in the house, so I just assisted her in the kitchen.

Literally. My dad did that when I was still a baby. I was his first-born, the apple of Papa and Mama's eyes, so I was nicknamed Apple. My dad is not the type that easily gets angry. In fact, he seldom gets angry with us kids. A trait that my sister Didut has inherited. Very patient people, unlike me and my mom. So when he does gets angry, with just a simple (scary) stare, no questions asked -we obey in a jiffy.

On the 6th of this month, my Papa is turning 68. I would love to give him some cigars but it's not good for his health. I'll just think of another gift. His birthday is still a few days away so there's still plenty of time.

Happy Birthday, Papa!
