Slowly creeping towards 30...

27. Unfortunately I can no longer say that am in my mid-twenties since I am now officially entering my late-twenties... sigh... :P I mentioned the other day about how much I feel blessed by those around me and, again, God has reminded me of that today.

Jeanne took me out to "Spring Rolls" for lunch today for some Thai food. I enjoyed a strawberry fruit shake along with my mango salad and a "tango mango" spicy chicken. And that was just the beginning...

Upon arriving back at my office, I had a meeting scheduled for 3:30. Thanks to my naivete, I brought my notebook and pen ready to talk about work. To my surprise, they presented me a birthday card and we had a nice cake together. I didn't even know they knew when my birthday was.

I even got a call at work from the Kyrios teens who were hanging out at the church. Apparently, they were trying to figure out where I worked downtown so they could bring me a cake and embarrass me. Good thing they couldn't find out in time--but a sweet thought nonetheless.

After work, I met up with my mom and brother to have dinner. We ended up settling on "Baton Rouge". Brian also came out to join us for some steak and ribs. While enjoying 2-3 glasses of wine along with our meal, Alvin entertained us be fawning over Brian's 'gangsta' lifestyle--living alone in a PH and having family working in Vegas. :)

Brian and I decided to head back to his place for some rest--eating and drinking that much makes you tired! We watched the best parts of "Napoleon Dynamite" again and even managed to catch bits and pieces of "Dancing with the Stars". It's actually a pretty entertaining show 'cause the 'celebrities' actually have to perform or they could humiliate themselves pretty badly. Luckily I didn't start watching this show earlier or it might have become, admittedly, a 'guilty pleasure'.

To top the night off, Charita, Sonya, Nicole, Anita, Ben & Brian came out to celebrate with me some more over some Chinese mango desserts near First Markham Place... Yummm... It was great to hang out and enjoy some more laughs with my closest friends...

What a night of gluttony... :P.. I don't think I've eaten like this in a while--where your stomach actually hurts from eating WAY too much...
