Double celebration in Naga, part II

15 November 2007
Oyster Restaurant

Mama was really surprised to see us. She was sitting all alone busy looking inside her bag when we entered the restaurant (Roy & Tom were in the Men's room). I stood beside her and said,"Happy birthday Mama!". She looked up and said,"Uy ne..." then looked down again in her bag then when she realized what was really going on, she looked up again, amazed, then stood up and hugged me. All that was captured in the video that my husband (her youngest son) was taking all the while. Surreal!





After all the exchange of stories, nephews and nieces started coming in. We had one family picture taken right before lunch.



The waiter took the cake out after lunch.



Glenn fixed and lighted her candle 83, RJ, Mama's great grandson stood beside her as we sang her Happy birthday song.



I served the cake right after she made her cut.



Everyone was happy!


After lunch, Kuya Roy asked us to take Mama to doctor to have her hips checked up by her doctor. So off we went to Mother Seton Hospital and luckily we were the first people so Mama got to be the first patient. So, the doctor came, checked her, asked for a full spine x-ray because he wants to show us that Mama is scholiotic too. After the check up, we headed to Mercury drugstore and got her prescribed medicine then went straight home.

That night, as I was sitting in Mama's bed, I noticed her framed picture with dedications written. I stood up and read it again.



Dang! Mama is only EIGHTY-TWO!

The night I ordered the cake, I was not sure about Mama's age so I texted hubby and asked him. He texted back saying she is 83. So, I wrote HAPPY 83RD BIRTHDAY MAMA! in that piece of paper and gave it to the cake house crew. When I got home, I asked hubby again if he was sure about her age. He said yes and that he even confirmed it from Kuya Roy.

Oh well... Mama had a good celebration anyway.

The next day, we hit the road early. It was raining in some areas on our way back but we still made a stop to take pictures...
