This is the happiest moment of my life so far.
Three weeks before the 90th Birthday of Lolo, my aunt form Canada, Tita Lyn,
asked us to prepare a surprise birthday party for his Tatay (our lolo).
I must admit, the preparation was so tiring.
On the day itself, my lolo was very sad because his Apos and Anaks were teasing him. We kept saying "Happy birthday Tatay Walang Handa". Di niya lang alam na after church, napagusapan na namin nila tita kung paano siya dadalhin sa venue.
On their way to the venue, My lolo asked Tita Gi "San ba tayo pupunta? Bakit parang di ko naman alam tong lugar na to?" My brother answered: "Tay, punta tayong LUGAWAN kasi diba birthday mo.. Libre ko kayo"

Welcoming him to his "Birthday Party"
Everyone's so happy and some even shed tears of joy.
I just can't contain the happiness of our whole family.

The party was very simple. We prepared some Dance and Song Number for lolo. We also did the Traditional Wishes, Wines and Gifts.
It was indeed the happiest day for almost all of us. The joy on everyone's face is priceless. I'm glad I'm part of this family. Thank you Lord for making me part of this crazy yet the best family ever.
