The blueberry streusel cake is in the oven and, in two hours, Alex’s classmates will be arriving to kill two birds with one stone — do an ecology project and celebrate her birthday. The chicken had been marinated and the pasta just needs a cheesy topping before going into the oven when the cake is done.
I’ve been cooking all morning but the weather’s comfortable and I don’t feel the way I do in the summer after several hours in the kitchen.
The rear garden had been cleaned and prepared and we’re laying out the tables and chairs in a while.
No threat of rain. The sun is shining but not harshly. It’s going to be a beautiful afternoon.
Happy birthday, baby bunso. You may have arrived last but we don’t love you less. Enjoy your new toy to the max.

Umuwi ka na! Buy ka ice cream!

I thought the “bunso” is loved most by the whole family and pampered like the “panganay” (until the second one comes along) LOL.
Happy Birthday to Alex on her 14th!
Isn’t “Alex” a masculine name? Just curious.
Connie Veneracion 01.26.08 at 7:30 pm
It’s short for Alexandra. Panganay is Sam, short for Samantha.
If we had another daughter, she’d be Dani, short for Danielle.

Sassy, Alex is 14? My, my….how time flies and she has really grown!
Wish her happy birthday for me.

Thanks! Uso na pala ngayon yung masculine nickname for girls. I hope in the future they don’t meet and befriend a boy name “Sue” (Remember the old Johnny Cash song?) LOL.
Just kidding.

I-ampon mo na ko!
Happy Birthday to Alex. I was once very partial to names like Alex, Sam, Mackenzie, considered masculine names. But I must have changed my mind a hundred times on Mina’s name, except for the Mina part.
Hope the party and the project was a success!

Happy Birthday, Alex!
Hmmm… Let me guess - Mommy Connie bought a Mac pro and gave her old Mac to Alex? But if Alex got a brand new one… Wow, Alex! You are one lucky bunso!

Happy birthday Alex.
Connie Veneracion 01.28.08 at 4:42 pm
Thanks for the greetings.
Rhodora, yep, you’re right. But the black Mac comes with a new Waco drawing pad, to follow nga lang. hehehe
