As you all know Chico will be turning 1 this coming Sunday. I am occupied with planning and worrying. There is still so much I needed to accomplish. Since last weekend, we were busy preparing. Running from mall to mall to shop for gifts, decors and cake. Then I had a slight problem with the cake. According to some Goldilocks personnel, they would not be accepting made to orders to accommodate the large demands of cake on Mother’s way (oh how sure they are?). In consideration though, we need to place an order 3 days ahead of the occasion and see if their plant would approve it. Anyway, the cake I ordered was a simple choco chiffon, no decors at all. That was already solved but I am worried with the instruction I left them. I noted on the receipt that the Happy Birthday should be written on the front base not on the top of the cake. I plan on having Thomas sit on the the top of the cake that’s why. And you know how incompetent people can be. I just hope they would not ruin Chico’s birthday.

Supermarket is my next stop. Hubby promised he’ll be home early so he can accompany me. I still have to go to Cubao for the sea foods, then to Pasig market, which is by the way, an OC heaven (I will post about it when I have time). Then there’s so much art works to do. The pinata, the banner waaah!!

By the way here’s our menu, so aside from all those things, I am also busy planning how to cook all this BY MYSELF on Sunday (yeah I will be cooking all these)

Kare Kare, Menudo, Chicken strips, Beef with Mushroom, Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet, Spaghetti (of course) and Leche Flan. Whew! Just thinking about it now makes me tired and sleepy.hoho. I am contemplating (yes I do) on which one I have to cook first (around 3 in the morning). Of the leche flan will be cooked day ahead, so I can taste it and splurge on it,yay!

If there is one thing (or two) that I am excited about, it’s Chico’s birthday, what else. I am really excited amidst all the hassles because he will be turning one! It means a lot to me. And I can’t wait to see him with his baptismal clothes. (kikay mom on the loose!)

You know what I’ve been doing the past few hours.. ebaying! I can’t stop searching for Mega Blocks and actually bidding for it. I am hoping someone we know from the US would allow us to have the items shipped on her home.. (pretty please..) Why am I so loco over these building blocks? I really don’t know, but I just love them so much. Aside from the kids really like it too, the toy has a lot of benefits. Creativity, imagination, the works.. It’s so easy to clean.. easy to stack, easy to play. I need to stop from bidding.LOL

By the way, I have been thinking of a nice menu for Chico’s birthday. I am not that busy yet.. preparations will start on Saturday. We need to buy some decors etc, and of course gifts for the three boys. So far our menu includes, Kare Kare (all time favorite), Embotido (courtesy of my BIL), Sweet and Sour (fish fillet.. a recipe I found on one of my cook book, so different and so Chinese). For the dessert, I am planning on making some leche flan or halaya. So if you can come, just come, don’t worry about the gift.LOL

Thursday, me and hubby will go on a date. Finally! We’re gonna watch Wolverine, yay! I have a huge crush on wolverine (not Hugh Jackman, just his wolverine character) I can’t wait.

Less than a month from now, Chico will be turning one, so if you have the money to buy a gift for Chico and his older brothers, you’re invited.LOL.

So I am busy preparing for his big day and his baptismal too. Just a while ago I was thinking of a nice theme for his birthday. For Kayil’s first birthday, I made a Mickey Mouse inspired banner and ordered a Mickey Mouse themed cake. For Mico’s birthday, it was all about Nemo. Now for Chico, I was thinking of Thomas. I don’t want a themed cake this time, themed cakes taste sloppier. I want an ordinary chocolate cake and will just do some magic with it. Maybe put some rails and trains on top, who knows.

Thomas is not that hard to draw eh? what do you think?
