I want to express how grateful I am for another year God has given me. Today, I am celebrating my 31st birthday and want to take this opportunity to announce that we are expecting the fourth member of our family this November. Indeed, life is a blessing from the Lord!
I feel so lazy waking up today. I had a chance to take a whole day off yesterday! I am glad and appreciate that Pakner4lyf gladly took care of the children while I am in Divisioria with my parents shopping for our bakeshop. I had to endure back pains today due to longer hours of window shopping; my tummy is sure heavy now, causing all this pain.
I had no choice but to go out because I needed to fix something at the bank. We chose to go out in the afternoon. It was about lunchtime when JC told me that Google said, "Happy Birthday, Hanny!" I asked him how sure he was that it was from Google. He couldn't open my email accounts or my Facebook, which was on my mind, or maybe I forgot to sign out of my Facebook account, so he was able to read all my friends' greetings. He urged me to come and look at our laptop so I could see the greetings he kept mentioning. And yes, I was surprised to see the above photo. JC hovered the cursor over the banner and showed me that it was a personalized greeting made especially for me. My kids and I are delighted to see this! We love playing with Google banner themes.
Then it's time to go out because I needed to go to Chinabank to fix something there. As I approached the bank, I was surprised to see balloons at the entrance; it seemed like they were having a celebration since songs were playing outside. Upon entering, they treated customers to free snacks. "I didn't know Chinabank was also celebrating today (it's their 94th anniversary) !" I said to one of their tellers. "It's your birthday, ma'am?" she asked. "Yes!" I answered. They greeted me and offered treats they had for all their customers. After the bank, we needed to stop by more places, but before going home, I remembered that we would have a prayer meeting tonight, so I asked Pakner4lyf to stop by a grocery store so I could cook something for dinner. While shopping, I saw those Coke cans and had the idea of buying them to formally and publicly announce our upcoming baby.
At first, my daughter Eu-La said she wanted us to have a baby sister. It would be nice to have a new baby girl since we already have two boys. I still consider our baby's gender to be unknown since my last check-up indicated that the probability is 80% boy. We can never be sure of the gender until the baby arrives in due time.
To all my friends, as well as my friends on social media, thank you for remembering and sending birthday greetings! I wouldn't want to let this day pass without sharing what happened throughout the day!
