Hello, Hivers It’s me again Doughnahhh, back with another blog series. Today I’m super excited to share something a little more personal and special and a heartwarming story about what we did to celebrate my mom’s birthday! From the planning to the actual celebration, it was such a special day filled with love and laughter. It may be just simple but I feel the warmth. I hope this blog brings a smile to your face. Let’s dive into the day and I'll take you along with us on this beautiful day for my simple amazing family gathering.
My sister and I are both here in Cebu City. I'm currently working here, and my sister is studying at one of the universities here in Cebu City. What makes this extra special is that our mom has no idea we’re coming home for her birthday. She thinks it’s just going to be another regular day, but little does she know we’ve been secretly planning a sweet surprise that we are home for her birthday. We wanted to make sure her birthday is something she’ll never forget. All the way to Cebu City to our province, we are going home despite our conflicting schedules because my sister has class and I have duty. Also that day we try to make time for our mothers birthday so that she felt special even though it’s just in a simple way. This blog is all about how we pulled it off every moment and every reaction and the love that made it all worth it. So sit back, grab a snack, and join me as I take you through this heartfelt surprise for the most important woman in our lives, our beloved mother.
As we arrived in our home, I could see the happiness lighting up in our mother's face, but what also made it even more touching and melted my heart was also my brother he was so happy as he saw us. His eyes sparkled with the very excitement because of how many months we hadn’t seen each other in person and finally we were home and he couldn’t stop smiling and hugging us. It wasn’t just a special moment for our mom, but it was clearly meaningful for them too. My father and also my 1 brother are so very happy. Also, all of my family is happy, and they don’t expect that we will be going home. Seeing my family so genuinely joyful made me realize how much this moment meant to our whole family.
As we arrived home, my mother and I started talking about where she wanted to go and where she wanted to eat. I gave her so many choices different restaurants and places I thought she would like but in the end, she chose Mang Inasal. I was happy with her choice, and I also crave Mang Inasal and also my sister, brother and father agreed with it. We are so excited to eat there. However, when we arrived at Mang Inasal we are disappointed to find out they had already run out of chicken, which was what we were really craving for. Because of that, we had to change our plans.
Eventually we ended up going to Jollibee, which is what my mother also chose it. It wasn’t our first option, but we were still happy to eat there and enjoy our meal together with my whole family.
Before we were going to eat, though we made a quick stop at the church. We went to the church to light candles and thank God for another year added to our mother's life, and we said our prayers and gave thanks to God for all the blessings he gives into our lives. It was a very peaceful and meaningful moment, and it also made the day feel even more special.
Afterwards we finished eating at the Jollibee, me and my mother decided to stop by first at Alberto's Pizza before going home to buy some pizzas as we give it to my aunties and cousins a little treat them. We thought that it would be a very nice surprise for them, and since we were already out with my family, we think it felt like it is the perfect time to do something thoughtfulness. My mom and I are chose flavores of the Pizza we choose the flavors we knew they would like, and we were excited to share something even though its just a little with them. As we picked up the pizzas already, we started going from house to house of my auntie to drop off the pizzas. It felt good to visit and see our relatives, eventhough it just for a short while. Everyone was happy and thankful for this gestures we have given, and their smiles made our day even more meaningful and it made our hearts melted. Moments like this remind me how important family is and how small acts of kindness can really bring them a little happiness and appreciation to fell them thay are special.
That’s all for now, Hivers! I hope you enjoyed my short blog about how we spent my mother’s special day. It was simple but meaningful. Thanks for reading!
