Helen's 25th!

Yesterday was our Yaya Helen’s 25th birthday. Good thing that her birthday fell on a weekend and the weather cooperated to our heart’s desire.

Why? Because we promised her along with Yaya Juvy that we will treat them with a pre-Christmas gift by sending them off to the newly opened Global Fun Carnival beside the SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City.

Helen, Juvy and Joeric spent the whole day exploring the rides in the said carnival. Before they left the house, I gave them a list of the rides that they must prioritize and the attractions that would delight them to the maximum.


After three hours, Helen called and said “Ate, ayaw ko na!” I was laughing so hard that I forgot I have colds. She hated the Flipper, Juvy loved the Ranger and Joeric enjoyed the Giant Wheel. Even after they tried all in the list, they still had fun with the game booths wherein they earned three stuffed toys as prizes.

We met them at the carnival’s entrance a little after 6pm and waited for the fireworks display (Fridays and Saturdays at 7pm) at SM MOA. Yaya Helen’s birthday dinner was held at the Highlands Steakhouse. She loved her whole rack of Baby Back Ribs and the waiters at the Steakhouse serenaded her with a birthday song and gave her a slice of Tiramisu.



Tummy filled with good food, we went home happy. When we got home, we gave Yaya Helen our birthday gifts and her birthday cake. A second blowing of a candled-birthday cake then she gladly opened her gifts.


It was a great day with tons of laughter, screaming, fireworks and gifts for Yaya Helen.

Helen, sana lahat ng wish mo magkatotoo!
