I celebrated my 32nd birthday last Tuesday, 25th March. However, I wasn’t able to blog about it that day because my schedule this week was so toxic! I was cramming checking the exams papers of the 6 subjects I am teaching in time for the submission of grades this morning.

Well, there was no party on my birthday, but it was so special because my sister-in-law delivered twins! And they are so cute (like their tita, hehe). Coincidentally I share the same birthday with my nanay (mother) who was also born March 25, while my sister was born March 24 (and my second child Miguel’s born March 17). And now, the new additions to the family shares the same birthdate - and they are twins!

I was at the hospital early morning because the ceasarian operation was scheduled 7 am. The twins were delivered 7:43 and 7:44 am, however, my sister-in-law Thess still has to be operated and stayed at the delivery room until 1pm because she was bleeding profusely and her uterus should be removed, otherwise, she could die. According to the doctors, her uterus collapsed because the twins are big, almost 12 lbs total! Maybe that’s the reason why God gave them twins.

So after the operation, I met my father at Jollibee and treated him for lunch, then proceeded to the university to check the exams. I didn’t tell my co-instructors that it was my birthday. Then before I go home, I ordered pansit and bought Red Ribbon cake and that’s it! I am so happy with that - simple and no fuss birthday.

I just want to thank those who remembered to greet me, friends from way way back - mia, jeng (”long-distance” text from macau,hehe), nelson and didith, billy, maan, nerise, daryl, chix and hazel. And to my family and to those I forgot to mention, thanks!!! Of course to my loves, Albert, for always being there through thick and thin (baka meron umangal dyan!).

Lastly, to the Mighty one up there, for giving me this beautiful gift of life. To my nanay, Happy Birthday, too, I know you’re happy up there with Him!

Now that I am 32, I know I should take care of my skin more. I have a fair skin (thanks to my mom!), however, like any other woman, sometimes it freaks me when I see wrinkle lines start to show on my face. Of course, I am not afraid to grow old, but I want to age gracefully and still have that youthful glow.

I was searching for a wrinkle cream over the net and saw this article about Ethocyn wrinkle cream.  What’s amazing about this post is how an accountant tested this product of Chantal Burnison, owner of Chantal Skin Care Corporation and producer of Ethocyn wrinkle cream.  She applied the cream on half of her face and saw the difference in just few days!  The wrinkles around the eyes and lips on the side of her face where Ethocyn wrinkle cream was applied on were less noticeable compared to the other half of her face.  Hmmm, lots of middle-aged women will surely get intrigued with this story and Chantal Burnison’s Ethyson wrinkle cream!  Now, where can I buy that  cream?
