A Family Gathering: An Unexpected Anniversary Surprise

‎On January 2, my family decided to gather. We were originally supposed to take a family portrait, all of us wearing Filipiniana.
‎
‎But because we were incomplete, we moved the plan to another day.
‎
‎Yet we agreed to just continue with the gathering as it was.
‎
‎Everyone brought food based on what they wanted to share.
‎
‎There was spaghetti, salad, chicken adobo, tilapia, etc.
‎

‎
‎For our part, we brought lumpia. We bought it from the night market, P5/$0.08 each.
‎
‎Surprisingly, it was incredibly good.
‎
‎So good that I didn't even get the chance to take a photo. 🫣
‎
‎It disappeared in a minute. Poof... That's how you know it was a hit. Lol.
‎
‎When Aunt Jing arrived, she was carrying a cake.
‎
‎I was so happy to see a cake box, coz it's a CAKE!!
‎
‎But when she opened it, there was a dedication:
‎
‎"Happeeeh Anniversarae Ate Amyt and Kuya Jeff.”
‎
‎

‎
‎I was stunned.
‎
‎I wasn't expecting anything at all.
‎
‎We had already celebrated our anniversary with my parents, so this completely caught me off guard.
‎
‎I was blushing hard.
‎
‎On the other hand, my hubby was calm. Nonchalant. Lol.
‎
‎

‎
‎When I looked at him, he was smiling.
‎
‎While my emotions were spilling all over my face, he was steady. 😆
‎
‎My aunt was so sweet and thoughtful.
‎
‎Even on our first anniversary, she was the one who financed the cake.
‎
‎As our night continued, the alcoholic drinks came out.
‎
‎The boys had their own kind of drink, while we girls gathered with our ladies' drinks.
‎
‎

‎
‎What made the night extra funny was my aunties.
‎
‎Every time they talked, it sounded like they were shouting.
‎
‎Yet they were literally sitting face to face. Lol.
‎
‎No one was arguing, they were just enthusiastic. 🤭😆
‎
‎That night was messy and loud, yet it was full of life.
‎
‎The kind of night I wish could last longer.
‎
‎Until my next moment...
‎
‎Thanks for the visit! Have a lovely day. Buh-bye. 💗🌸
