Last July 21st, we celebrated my paternal grandma’s nth birthday. It was a surprise dinner for her. One of my aunts was teasing her about not having any sort of celebration for her birthday. According to my aunt, grandma’s already pouting, seemingly hurt that nobody remembered to greet her on her special day.
And then 6pm came. She was surprised my two aunts who live elsewhere came with gifts for her and some cakes. Then my uncle who lives in Makati came with my aunt and their yummy pansit! Then, our whole family came with food, together with another aunt and little cousins.
My grandma was touched. She didn’t expect the surprise dinner for her. It was so much fun! In our family, we are used to celebrating our birthdays, even with just a tub of ice cream and a slice of cake. It somehow makes the day extra special for each one of us.

I had this notion before that placing an online ad will bring in traffic to your web site just like that. Boy was I disabused of that notion by a friend of mine who knows. Those who are clueless about online advertising should get the advice of a cpa advertising specialist before pushing through with their ads.
There are companies who ask their clients to pay for every click of their ads. Those clicks don’t even generate sales. I have a friend who has an online business he wanted to launch a couple of months ago. He bought advertising spots in a major online ads company thinking it might help get his business name around. Unfortunately, he spent quite an amount and very little traffic as a result. Nothing more. Obviously, he had no idea what he was doing and was lured into spending for nothing.
That’s why there’s Status Media Plc. A link building company uk who can help those people like my friend who are clueless on how to go about promoting their businesses online. There’s link building, search engine optimization, and pay per click management.
A lot of online business who are into online advertising spend a lot of time and money in making sure their advertisements will really bring in the numbers. But as I’ve said, there are so many people out who are clueless. Or those who knew little but decided to go ahead and risk it. For those who are thinking about advertising online or promoting their business through another way, go to Status Media Plc and get the specialist on online advertising. Their team have been doing these things for more than five years now so you can really call them specialists.

(L to R) Birthday girl, Sophie, with her dad and Hazel with the party host. The boy wearing a yellow shirt is Anna's son, Dexter.
Last July 12, Hazel and I attended my goddaughter’s first birthday party. Sophia Louise, or Sophie, is my friend, Tim‘s daughter. Sophie’s first birthday celebration was held at Jollibee Green Meadows branch. Jollibee, for those who are not Filipinos, is the most popular fastfood here in the Philippines. McDonald’s come in second.
Hazel joined the longest contest...
Most parents who can afford it celebrate their kids’ birthday parties at Jollibee branches. The mascots and the food are kids’ favorites. Filipino kids grew up with Jollibee. It is only natural that my beautiful goddaughter celebrated her first birthday there.
Happy Birthday, Sophieeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
So Hazel’s been practicing reciting “Happy birthday, Sophie” holding her breath. Unfortunately, she got hoarse when it was time for her to recite it! She was really excited. At least she got a consolation prize hehe
I’ve never seen our little girl as active as when she’s at Sophie’s party. Nakakatuwa sobra! She had lots of kwento when she got home, exhausted from joining the contests but still smiling. Sophie’s party was really a blast!
I would like to thank Anna of A Commuter’s Life for the photos above. I forgot to bring the digicam with me (darn!) so these are the only photos I have.
Happy Sunday everyone! Have a great week!

For a brief review of the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, please visit my blog, The Bookworm Confessions.
I enjoyed watching the movie yesterday with my sisters and Hazel. After watching it, I actually can’t wait for the next one to be shown. I know that the last book, Deathly Hallows, is being adapted into two movies. The first part is being targeted to be released by 2010 and the last part on 2011. It’s still a long way to go and I am hoping that the Harry Potter series will end with a big bang!
Have you watched the movie already? What do you think?

We’re off to watch Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince later in the day. Hazel, me and my two sisters. We are really excited and couldn’t wait for the weekend so we are opting to watch on opening day. Yay!
So I will be back online again tonight. And I will tell you about the movie by then.
For now, I’m off to bed to get me some shuteye.
Happy Thursday everyone!
