Happy Birthday Joey!

A few hours before June 26, 2009.. so technically its advanced Happy Birthday Joey! hehe..
Joey is turning 5 years old tomorrow and we are having a simple birthday celebration in his school. I'll be bringing some spaghetti and cake for his classmates and teachers :)

It's ironic for a party person like me (who've had fabulous birthday celebrations year after year since 7 until I was 21) not to mention our family having a catering and events company... to be having such simple parties.

But I realized now that I'm all grown up (hehe..) and with a son to raise, that we do not need to spend unnecessarily. Especially for kids who would probably hardly remember how their birthday was at 2-3-4-5 or 6 years old.. I feel its not practical to be spending too much. (Kaya pala sabi nila pag 1yr old, 7years old and 18years old lang bongga ang party... hehe)

A birthday has always been a special day for you to feel special. And for you to feel special, its not so much about having big parties.. but rather having special people tell you that they love you, care for you and wish all the best for you.. The Big Hugs and Big Kisses are the main event.. hehe.. You can have the biggest and most fabulous and most expensive birthday party and yet its still possible that you won't feel as happy or as special.

Don't get me wrong though, I'm not saying I'm against parties.. haha.. of course not.. that's our business diba?! I'm just saying I'm pro practical and pro quality over quantity.. hehehe...
Tumatanda na rin siguro ako, kaya nai-intindihan ko na ang mga bagay-bagay na'to.. hahaha...

Let's not be one day millionaires, but instead spend and save wisely. :)
And that my friends is what I hope to inculcate in my son's mind as well.

Thank you Lord for giving Joey another year.
I pray for continued protection, good health, mind and body.
We praise and thank you Lord for your great great Love.
Lord, help me raise Joey according to your plans.
In Jesus Name, We pray AMEN!

PS.
I'll post his picture here tomorrow. :)

'Til my next post!
