Birthday 2011

I haven't been blogging for the longest time so I thought I should pay this poor blog of mine a visit and document bits and pieces of our lives - my memory is not that dependable anymore and I could rely on my posts here to remind me of the things I did in the past.

Anyway, for this year - my 40th which happened some time in October, a good friend of mine organized a surprise breakfast get together with some friends. What   a lovely idea! I did not do anything on my party and et I got so much present and a free breakfast ;) wonderful friends indeed! 
Here's my dear friend S. who organized the breakfast.

 Some of my guests.
 Here with The V.
 Look at me - that's about 17 years ago - taken before graduation.
 Look at the size of that breakfast! You get a whole tower thing just for yourself. Look how happy my friends were on this picture :)

 Such a lovely gift from A. - paper for scrapbooking!
Purple pillows from my friend 
Me and The V. taken in Worms, we took a little drive to enjoy the crisp autumn afternoon.

 Birthday dinner at one of our favourite tapas place - nothing fancy but still really good.
 Hey, birthday girl!
 Flowers from colleagues
 Beautiful flowers from colleagues

 Again beautiful presents from my birthday breakfast



 Flowers from The V
 I did not get any presents from the V nor did we celebrate this 40th birthday - maybe we would do it in the Philippines or celebrate it another way somehow this year. Nevertheless it was a wonderful day - spent part of it cooking for the homeless as well so that kind of brought something good to it too. Indeed it was a happy birthday!
