I still remember how I get delighted every new year. I fancy my way through parties in my head, my guests, my menu (which I will ask my mother to prepare), and etc. It felt so nice catching up to my classmates' age (I was a year younger than my batch), but that really does not happen. Although now I am grateful for every year, I keep forgetting how old I've become. Perhaps it's true that age is really just a number.
Today, I see my eldest son way so excited for his fifth birthday party! He is counting the days, literally in the calendar. He couldn't understand yet that his party is not his real birthday, but who cares anyway? Hehehe! I asked him to pick a theme from a party store online. I indulged him, thank goodness his preferred theme was on clearance sale yey! We looked for possible cake designs for him, to which he was very particular with! So amazing how this little boy seem like a difficult "client" LOL! Months ago, he asked me to list down his guests and the food he would like to serve. That part, I couldn't indulge. The kids from his preschool, are off to kindergarten and it would be awkward to have them and the parents (whom we barely know) in a house full of people who will always celebrate Miro's baptism with us. Perhaps next year, when it's not a double celebration.
It's almost Saturday, and I barely even tidied up this house. My house guests will arrive on Thursday, and I better make some magic wand to keep this at least "guest friendly". How petty to be consumed by chores and whatnots... the truth is I am very excited to have company. Most of all for the little buddha's christening and the big boy's fifth birthday!
