We didn’t go to a restaurant. There’s no party either. My son just wanted to have a quiet crab-eating festival at home. Supposedly 6 px, but Oyen’s boyfriend Derrick is sick. So it’s 4 + 1.

My son bought two kilos of hipon swahe and 5 pieces of very large crabs.

There are many advantages of having a simple birthday dinner at home. No hassle, no bustle, no traffic, no noisy co-diners, no service charge.

We had so much food. Nyke bought the crabs from Farmers Market. He bought the hipon suahe (shrimps) from Hypermart. Oyen bought a box of Australian Rib eye which we grilled at home. Mela bought the salad from Green Pastures. I sent the driver to buy two orders of pancit canton from Max restaurant for birthday noodles. Instant buffet.

26th birthday cake. It’s looks familiar ‘no? Kasi I bought that from the Goldilock’s store in Greenhills where I bought Nyke’s bday cake last year. That’s my favorite birthday cake na after I discovered last year how cheap it was. I paid P435 for this and it’s a good size.
