Dogs are not just pets. Dogs are bestfriends, a part of our families. Just recently, we got invited to my cousin's dog's birthday party. We got invited for lunch and we arrived at around 11:00 am which was an hour early for lunch time.
MOODESK CAFÈ
My cousin is renting a two-storey building, the first floor used for their business, the MOODESK CAFÈ, a 24-hour operating co-working space located in Brgy.Santo Rosario, Bogo City, Northern Cebu, Philippines. Meanwhile, the upper floor is used as their home.
Since this is a dog party, of course, we brought our dog Uno with us. He is ready to attend his friend's pawty today. He is excited.
Uno is our adopted dog way back 2024 when his owner was working as a house boy at a mansion in Maria Luisa Busay, but will be shifting to a different work place and won't be able to bring Uno with him so he needed Uno to be adopted so he posted him over social media and when I saw the post I just knew I needed to adopt him, so we brought him from Maria Luisa Busay to Lapu-lapu because it is where we rented back then.
Now, that we have relocated here in Tuburan due to work, we brought him here also and ever since, we have been bringing him anywhere we go. He is not just my pet, he is my bestfriend and he is a member of our family.
My son sat at the customer receiving area and as seen, there are a lot of pink balloons ready for design. The birthday girl is my dog's cousin, VANILLA BEAN.
Here are photos of my dog, Uno and the birthday girl, Vanilla Bean.
The birthday girl took a couple of photos with her birthday cake, we sang her her birthday song and then we had lunch.
After the birthday girl blew her cake, we took some group photos.
LUNCH TIME.
HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY, VANILLA BEAN!
Here are the foods my cousin prepared for her dog's birthday.
LECHON paired with our Filipino side dishes. Lechon is a whole roasted pig, it is seasoned with lemon grass, onion, garlic and so much more. It is the star to every Filipino occasion and the best part of the lechon is the tasty and crunchy skin.
MENUDO. Menudo is another Filipino side dish. It is pork mixed with potatoes and carrots with tomato sauce.
BISAYANG MANOK SOUP. This is a traditional Filipino chicken soup. This is perfect especially when the soup is eaten hot, and added some chili for more taste.
PANCIT. Pancit is always present in every Filipino occasion especially during birthdays because it has always been believed to help achieve a longer life. Although it may be a superstition but it has been always part of our culture and tradition.
PAKLAY. Paklay can be goat's meat or pork, but for this, I think this is pork. It has the internal organs of the pork.
It was such a sumptuous lunch and we enjoyed it. There was not a lot of visitors so we enjoyed eating the foods all to ourseleves, UNLIMITED LECHON SKIN!!! Haha.
Suprise!
My cousin's partner surprised my cousin with a beautiful bouquet as a congratulatory gift for her regularization. She is working as a virtual assistant on a company based in USA.
This day is indeed a celebration of life and success - Vanilla Bean, being their daughter, just celebrated her birthday and my cousin also celebrated her regularization at work. Life is indeed meant to be enjoyed and celebrated.
I am so happy I am part of this celebration as I witnessed how they really show their love for their dog, Vanilla Bean. As a dog owner myself, it makes me feel so happy for them.
Happiest Birthday Vanilla Bean and Happy Regularization, Ate Jan! Congratulations!
To life and success! Ciao!❤️
