I love my children. I love them so much that I would go through heaven and hell just to make them happy. And today, Vhi celebrates her 5th birthday so I’ve set myself to make her happy. But what makes her happy. The best way to find out was to ask her and so I did. I said, “Vhi, ano ang gusto mo ngayong birthday mo?” (Vhi, what do you want today your birthday?). And she quickly answered by giving me a shortlist. Here it is:
- Birthday Cake
- Strawberry and Vanilla Ice Cream
- Halo-halo (For those who don’t know, it’s a mixture of sweets and milk topped with crushed ice and ice cream)
- And a day to celebrate in SM Fairview’s Storyland
I agreed so I just took a 4 hour sleep while Vhi and her sister Kei do the usual things they do every morning - play, watch TV and of course the usual quarrels they have. When I woke up, Vhi, Kei, and their mom were already prepared so I took a quick check on my emails, took a bath, dressed up and we left for SM Fairview Storyland.
As soon as we got there, I bought three ride-all-you-can tickets for me, Vhi, and Kei. My wife Evelyn can’t enjoy the rides because she’s got a 3-month old baby in her womb - yes she’s pregnant. So the three of us enjoyed the rides as Evelyn enjoyed watching. We tried everything in Storyland and we enjoyed it. Then we had dinner and afterwards bought the cake. Tomorrow, I will buy the ice cream and the halo-halo since it’s already late at night and they won’t enjoy it anyway.
So that’s it! All in a day’s celebration! Happy 5th Birthday Vhi. Soon it will be Kei’s 7th birthday…
