Birthday Surprise

Just got home from E's suprise birthday celebration. As far as E knew, we were just spending the afternoon together: hear mass, have lunch and then go to BPI to get our Land Title. I had to carefully plan what happens next...
Lunch Date at Cyma, Greenbelt 2 and finally, our released Land Title

I told him that I wanted to go to Powerplant Mall to buy that Nike shirt on sale that I saw last week and to buy a birthday gift for my niece Baby S. I originally planned to take him to the movies (we haven't gone in ages) to kill time, but the only interesting movie showing was "For the First Time", which he absolutely refused to see. So after taking my time on the two errands, it was still an hour before the event was going to take place. So, I said I wanted to go to Zara to look at what's new. I took time there, communicating with people through text messaging while pretending to be so interested in the fall and winter clothes on display. When I was taking too much time, E went to me and suggested that we just have dinner at home. Wow, major stress for me! I had to think fast. I didn't react violently. Instead, I said that I needed to go to the grocery to buy our dinner and other supplies. Of course I was panicking and texted people frantically...
While at the grocery, E's nephews suddenly appeared out of nowhere! E was so excited that he never thought that meeting his nephews was odd. They were afterall frequent visitors of Powerplant. Aha, the perfect excuse to lead him to the designated venue...
After paying for the grocery, I just asked the boys where their parents are so we can say hello...
SURPRISE!!!
Thanks so much to those who joined E tonight!
Venue: Cafe Sugarhouse. Powerplant Mall
Must tries: Beef Salpicado, Callos, Oriental Chicken Salad, Chinese Chicken Salad, Santa Fe Chicken, Marjolaine Cake, Mango Torte, Cashew Toffee Cake, French Apple Pie
