Hi everyone! How are you today my lovely hivers @bayanihive community?! Today I will share another blog to you all…
Today, is one of the most special day in my life because it is my husband’s birthday! He just turned 34 years old! And unlike from his other past celebrations of his birthday, this one is the most simple yet memorable.
We start the day by waking up early and going to Church. We pray and thank God for all the blessings, guidance and protection he’s given us and of course for this special day. The priest delivered a truly beautiful and heartfelt homily about genuine happiness. Reminding all of us that pure joy comes not from material things in this world, but from love, kindness, and sharing our blessings with others.
After attending the mass, we decided to go to a few nearby chicken stalls where we bought freshly cooked chicken and liempo to bring home and enjoy for our lunch. Making the day feel even more special with a hearty meal to share to one another.
At home, we all sat down together, prepared the food that we had brought. We enjoy every bite of the delicious dishes and appreciating the simple joy of sharing a meal together as a one whole family.
After eating, my husband and I decided to play our favorite mobile game which was the Mobile Legends. It was a great way to pass the time, helps relieve our stress from work and most importantly it was fun to play with. We played several rounds, sometimes we lost but most of the time we won, which made us more excited to play again and again.
After three hours of playing, we felt hungry, so I told my husband that we should go and eat at our favorite spot that serves delicious lugaw and mami ( a Filipino rice porridge and noodle soup). It was our go-to comfort food place, and just thinking about the warm, flavorful broth and soft noodles already made my stomach growl. We both agreed right away, excited to enjoy a simple yet satisfying meal together after hours of gaming.
The place is located by the seawall where you can feel the gentle sea breeze continuously blows, giving the surroundings a cool and refreshing ambiance. The open view of the sea makes the place feel peaceful and relaxing while you are eating. It is a perfect setting to enjoy a warm, comforting bowl of lugaw and mami. The combination of the fresh salty air and the steaming hot dish creates a truly satisfying and cozy al fresco dining experience.
They also offer other menu items like pares and lomi. Both of which are equally delicious. With these options, it is hard to choose just one, making every visit a chance to try something new and satisfying.
Our order just arrived, and both dishes were absolutely delicious! They were so flavorful and packed with ingredients. We were both satisfied with our meals and enjoyed every bit of it. And since it was my husband’s special day, I paid our meals as a birthday treat to him. He was so happy and thanked me for that yummy treat.
After eating, we decided to stay for a while in the sea wall to relax and enjoy the cold breeze. We even took selfies there for a lil keepsake of his simple yet meaningful celebration. We did enjoy the view of the vast sea and the mangrove trees.
A few minutes after, we decided to head back home already. We truly enjoyed this day! It was filled with happiness, laughter and fun moments that we will always remember. Everything just felt right and spending time together made this day even more special. It is one of those days that leaves your heart full and a smile on your face.
And that’s it for today! I hope you enjoy my story and I wish to see you on my next one… Have a pleasant day ahead to all of us!
